  1. Re:TOS on $5 Social Wi-Fi Router · · Score: 1

    [nitpick]It's even worse than you think. 802.11b/g can go down to around 1 Mbps at minimum.[/nitpick]

  2. Re:TOS on $5 Social Wi-Fi Router · · Score: 2, Informative

    How is that insightful? If you don't like the ToS, that doesn't mean you can break them. And I really doubt you could find an affordable service provider that allows connection sharing.

  3. Re:So what? on $5 Social Wi-Fi Router · · Score: 1

    So do I. I'd kill for a $5 new WRT54GL.

    [sarcasm]Heh, you gotta love the mods.[/sarcasm] I thought everybody on Slashdot had seen that cartoon, spotty teen or not.

    -- bcat, who is 15 years old, but (hopefully) not too spotty.

    LOL, I guess nobody knows.

  6. Re:STAY AWAY on Linux Hackers Reclaim the WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Maybe you're just unlucky. I've flashed the firmware on my WRT54GSv2.1 more times than I can remember, and I've never had a failure. I personally love Linksys's home network products. (I dunno about Netgear's business products, but their home ones are crap, IMO.)

  7. Re:Explaining the jargon... on Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised? · · Score: 1

    Mods, ever heard of sarcasm?

  8. Re:Explaining the jargon... on Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is your average Slashdotter really better than your average 14 year old??

  9. Re:I remember being six... on Immaturity Level Rising in Adults · · Score: 1

    Maybe adulthood is worse, but being a teenager is no party either. I should know, I'm 15.

  10. Re:What is wrong with being child-like on Immaturity Level Rising in Adults · · Score: 1

    Damn, I wish I had mod points right now. That should be modded insightful, not funny.

  11. Re:Sorry Taco. on Google Video Runs Ads & Shares the Profits · · Score: 1

    OK, so by your logic:

    Sites with advertising are evil.
    Slashdot is a site with advertising.
    Therefore, Slashdot is evil.

    It kinda confirms what I though all along.

  12. Re:Wait, what? on String Theory a Disaster for Physics? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    God is entirely good.
    God is entirely perfect.
    God created everything.
    Evil is a lack of good.
    Evil (non-good) exists in this world.

    Since God is good and perfect, he must have a good and perfect reason for allowing evil to exist. Evil must exist in this world so that it is perfect in the end. After all, if we didn't experience evil at some point, how could we truely understand and appreciate the ultimate good (God)?

    Therefore God can exist. This is not a difficult proof.

  13. Man... on String Theory a Disaster for Physics? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Some people really get tied in a knot about stuff like this.

  14. Re:l 903A central processor on Updating the Computer, Circa 1969 · · Score: 1

    You were lucky! In my day we ran on the treadmills ourselves (uphill both ways), and we only processed 100 instructions per minute. And we enjoyed it!

  15. Re:Need to blame someone on Summer Camps Join Fray Against MySpace · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Amen! Parents/schools/camps/etc. want a scapegoat, something they can blame for their incompetence. MySpace is the perfect thing to blame: it's new, it's different, and it's on Teh Scary Internet where Bad People hang out. Of course, the media doesn't help any with their scare tactics.

    Sure, MySpace can be dangerous, but so can anything other forum, or social thing in the world, for that matter. I guess I just wish people would spend less time attacking MySpace and more time teaching kids how to be safe and smart online.

  16. Re:I, Robot on Robot Dogs Evolve Their Own Language · · Score: 1, Funny

    But do they run Linux?

  17. Re: Plan B on Håkon Responds to Questions About CSS and... · · Score: 1

    You know, somebody really should make an online petition for display: table support in IE 7. I'd sign it in a heartbeat.

  18. Re:Emacs Virtual Machine on Håkon Responds to Questions About CSS and... · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know what you mean. Emacs would be a great operating system if I could only find the text editor.

  19. Great job! on Håkon Responds to Questions About CSS and... · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. The article was definitely an interesting read. Good job, Håkon.

    FIFTH TSOP!!! is more like it. ;)

  21. Not *all* dead on Is Microprocessor/Controller Design Dead? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe it's only mostly dead. Remember, there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, there's only one thing you can do....

    OK, I just don't get it. Anybody care to explain?

  24. Re:Isn't this a little backwards? on Creative Commons Add-In for Office Released · · Score: 1

    The license covers the content, not the format. Given the right license terms, I can transfer the content to an open format and publish it.

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of sidekicks recovering YOU! I guess the real question is, will they run Linux?
