  1. Re:sex.xxx on Celebrities Flock To Reserve .xxx Domains · · Score: 1

    Confirmed, directs me to 192.168.0.1

  2. We all know... on Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason · · Score: 2, Funny

    We all know where this is going. I'm looking forward!

  3. As long as... on Could That Be The Wireless Police Knocking? · · Score: 1

    As long as there were a way to opt-out, with some way of showing that you are, indeed, able to manage an unencrypted network, it'd be alright with me. Plus, has not 2WIRE already practically dominated homes with WEP? I rarely find a non-encrypted 2WIRE, and the only one I have was of a fellow geeky friend who intended it that way. This is moreso the job of router manufacturers, not a matter of law.

  4. Article title: "Bush blocked surveillance probe" on President Bush Blocks NSA Wireless Tapping Probe · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just aim the probe out of the garden, for God's sake!

  5. Enough for anybody! on Windows CE Device Emulator Goes Shared Source · · Score: 4, Funny
    From boards/cominterface.cpp:
    ASSERT(FALSE); // string ought to fit
    I hear 640K crickets chirping.
  6. Re:AOL Triton?? on Yahoo! Opens up Their Instant Messenger · · Score: 3, Insightful

    These IM clients have morphed into horribly bloated slow, cranky fragile pieces of junk. Just what we need - an MS lab project that they magically took the 'beta' tag off even though its the same junk as last week - to compete in the same space as all the other junk.
    I think it's mostly attributed to the lack of computer literate individuals that these applications are targetted to; They want to bring something old but too complicated to use to them, and pass it off as something fresh.

  7. Re:I don't need it... on Detox Clinic Opening for Video Game Addicts · · Score: 1

    Jack Thompson would be so proud. :')

  8. Re:meh on Build Your Own Band-aid Fuel Cell · · Score: 1

    Right on, that's what I'm saying. It's like saying you make your own adhesive, and the key ingredient is pre-bought glue.

  9. Re:meh on Build Your Own Band-aid Fuel Cell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    MEA stands for "Membrane Electrode Assembly", this is the bit that "does the works". You can make your own, they are rather difficult to assemble, much simpler is to buy one that is already made from www.fuelcellstore.com
    So basically this article just tells you how to hold the main piece into something (bandaid) that makes it look simple...

  10. Re:Microsoft in Texas? on The Soaring Costs for New Data Center Projects · · Score: 1

    Same is true of The Planet, a datacenter in Dallas.
    I'm sure we all know more than one site hosted there!

  11. Gallery2? on A Family Collaboration Server? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Gallery2 is nice, albeit a bit resource intensive when scaling down pictures to thumbnails using the 'convert' app.

  12. Hmmm... on Hacker Resells VOIP For Profit · · Score: 2, Funny

    This article sounds like a HOWTO! -click-

  13. Re:Umm... on Huge Storms Converge on Jupiter · · Score: 1

    But this isn't even interstellar!
    We're not talking about the Mars in the general vicinity of Beatlegeuse?

  14. Umm... on Huge Storms Converge on Jupiter · · Score: 5, Funny

    a youngster of a storm only six years old. Compared to the Great Red Spot, Red Jr. is half-sized, able to swallow Earth merely once, but it blows just as hard as its older cousin."
    I'm not sure what intergalactic law is, but over here, we call that "statutory rape".

  15. One thing's for sure.... on Windows Media Player 11 and Urge · · Score: 1

    you can't shop at this store-- or even just play your Urge downloads -- in any earlier version of Windows Media Player
    It's not a defect... It's a feature!

  16. Re:Perhaps a silly question... on U.S. Adds Years To Microsoft's 'Probation' · · Score: 1

    Eh, a web browser is pretty much a core to any modern day operating system. If the user had no web browser, even if they had intentions of downloading an alternative, they would not be able to retrieve one in the first place.
    Have to toss something in. ;)

  17. Tumour toppers on Mobile Phone Transmitter Causes Brain Tumours? · · Score: 1

    Aha! Finally! A use for these tumour toppers I bought from Andy Dick. These things come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.
    Tumour toppers will be the next big fasion trend...

  18. Dupe. on Self-Serve Car Rental · · Score: 1

    Self-service car rental? GTA: Vice City has been out for over a year now, man.

  19. Walmart on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 3, Funny

    Related to my life.
    A few times, going into Walmart wearing my "Your Company's Computer Guy" shirt, I was asked for assistance, because of the way Walmart employees wear those vest-like things. Sure, it's a totally different shade of blue, and a different style, but that didn't stop them. ;)
    And yes, I did help them even though they realized mid-question that I don't work there.

  20. Re:Meanwhile at Slashbot Central on Wal-Mart to Offer Components for DIY Computers · · Score: 1

    Cereal Killer: Oh yeah, technicolor rainbow.
    It just may work, though, as it worked for mice/keyboards/speakers/microphone etc. ports...

  21. Re:IE? on Can You Spoof IP Packets? · · Score: 1

    Guys, guys, guys, no need to worry. It's just a proof of concept, simple little code, a little hobby, nothing that will be as big as GNU.

  22. Oh, but... on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does it run Linux?

  23. Re:Sing along! on Bill Would Outlaw Digital Receiver Recorders · · Score: 1

    Ah, man, this is worse than that time I tried to record the Superbowl...

    *The FBI then breaks in to his home, asking if he has "the expressed written consent of ABC and the NFL". Peter replies, "Just ABC," and holds up a note.*

  24. Hmm... Technicalities. on Net Neutrality Voted Down in U.S. House Committee · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The proposal, by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), would have given the Federal Communications Commission the power to prohibit discrimination when it comes to sending traffic over the Internet. Couldn't this, technically, also eliminate QoS/fair queue'ing and general firewall rules?

  25. Obligatory Picard on Software Lets Programmers Code Hands-free · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Computer, go to red alert. Wonder if we'll be seeing issues like this?
