I've been reading lots of comments as to why this guy is suing Nike and not NSI. I thought that the answer is simple: Deep Pockets.
Nike is one of the biggest shoe companies in the world, if not the biggest. It stands to reason that suing this multi-million dollar company has a better chance of settling out of court for the simple reason that the company may not understand what has happened, and propose a quick settlement.
I can see a badly designed virii now, designed to only live very briefly and die after destroying circuitry, only to live and continue destroying stuff we don't want destroyed.
Bah, I've been up for like 36 hours now. I'm probably barely making any sense.
I'm sorry. What I meant to say was 'please excuse me.' what came out of my mouth was 'Move or I'll kill you!'
Thank you for introducing me to that website. I am a large fan of the macabe, and search without end for images to ease my tortured soul. This site has many lovely images. My hat off to you, Mr. Cox.

There's a post at Kyles HardOCP regarding the 'demise' of the Athlon, due to the fact that they're coming out with the socket A processor. What's the general consensus?

And here I thought that virus stories were "too good" for Slashdot.
A couple weeks ago, I submitted a story that was on CNN about a virus that will actually use your computers modem (if it has one) to dial 911.
The story was declined.
This seems a bit more important (at least, to me) than an 'annoying' 'virus'. This one has the potential to get you in to a bit of trouble. Not to mention you really don't want emergency crews knocking at your door.
I'm sorry. What I meant to say was 'please excuse me.' what came out of my mouth was 'Move or I'll kill you!'
It isn't just that the story was repeated.

It's that it's repeated repeatedly (say that three times fast). This is almost a redundant post, but it's a problem that I see more and more I read/.
There are articles that I've submitted that are far more interesting than this. Like an interesting virus that uses your modem (if you have one) to dial '911.' It's true! Yet this story was repeated for the third time.
Do any of the individuals that 'accept' stories for Slashdot talk amongst themselves? Or is the Web simply running out of interesting things for Geeks, so we run across them again and again?

Unfortunately, I'm at work, and don't have access to my bookmarks (I knew I should have put it on the web!) but one, while conversing via IRC, a gentleman informed us that.GIF's could use more that 256 colors. He then directed us to his site where, indeed, there were.GIF images with colors-a-plenty. The bad thing about this was that the increased pallette increased the file size dramatically.
I'm sorry. What I meant to say was 'please excuse me.' what came out of my mouth was 'Move or I'll kill you!'
I, like you, also fake it, but I don't fake it well enough to find a job doing it. Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that I live in a very non-technical southern Vermont town.

I'm curious as to what the pricing is going to be like. The article mentions 'auctioning' off these frequencies, but will it be reasonable for 'the little guy' - IE the smaller ISP's that would like to claim some of this?
Is the auctioning a good idea, or perhaps it should be a 'first come, first serve' basis instead?

Paul VerHoeven did the same thing to "Starship Troopers," written by Robert Heinlein as a polemic against Communism/Fascism (he had practical experience as a Naval Officer in World War II). Additionally, the book contained a _very_ moving theme about why soldiers _really_ fight (HINT: it ain't '...for the greater good'), ending the book with "...his name is Zim," that always brought a lump to my throat.
I have to agree. Starship Troopers had only one thing going for it: Denise Richards. Tell me I'm wrong.

It took quite a while for us to hit the 1000 megahertz mark. Now, all of a sudden, we've made leaps and bounds, and have jumped up a whole 500 megahertz? Am I reading this correctly? Or should it really be 1.05 GHz (1050 MHz)?
I'm sorry. What I meant to say was 'please excuse me.' what came out of my mouth was 'Move or I'll kill you!'
The software may not have been 'unreleased.' There are a lot of beta testers out there. I don't know for sure if this gentleman is one of them, but it's something to consider.

I'm sorry someone moderated you down as Off Topic. Your post is funny, correct and _on_topic_. When will we get a better moderation system?

stop bitching about trolls, when your comment is a redundant waste of bandwidth.
And yet, you reply, which is a bigger waste of bandwidth.
The comment was _supposed_ to be amusing. I could really care less about trolls.
And, of course, I find myself responding to a troll myself, posting via 'AC'. Go figure.

This reminds me of my plan to create a computer based home entertainment system.
Starting with a slimline case, I'm going to put a DVD drive along with a SB Live! card and Hollywood MPEG decoder card, along with some other goodies.
Of course, this is nothing I've started yet, just something I've been puzzling out in my brain's idle moments.
