  1. Re:Oblig on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Wireless. More space than a Nomad. Still lame.

  2. Re:Denied! on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    I've never really seen the appeal of the iPod over the tons of comparable, cheaper, multi-standard hard-drives-with-headphones out there.

    You misspelled "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."

  3. Re:A Raft of Intelligent Design in Education Bills on Top Advisory Panel Warns Erosion of U.S. Science · · Score: 1

    In line with earlier efforts, how about "Smart Kids"?

  4. Re:DRM on Yahoo Introduces Competitor for iTunes · · Score: 1

    a) 384 kbps MP3 does exist. It's called "freeformat" and MP3 can go up to 640kbps.

    640kbps ought to be enough for anybody.

  5. Re:Anybody using it? on OpenOffice.org Team on OO.org (and Upcoming v2.0) · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatly most comments in the beginning was negative.

    Maybe it has something to do with poor spell and grammar checking..?

  6. IBM ad circa 2019 on Scientist Sees Space Elevator in 15 Years · · Score: 1

    Where are the space elevators?! I was promised space elevators!!

  7. present on Happy Birthday Mac OS X · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just wish I didn't have to buy it a $129 present every year...

  8. Re:Carefull..... on Smarter Children Through Food Supplements · · Score: 1



    sounds like someone's been taking his choline!

  9. yes we can on Minnesota Senator Says Email Tax Might Reduce Spam · · Score: 1
    You can't say, "We want it to be totally free and unrestricted and on the other hand we want it to work smoothly and civilly," he said.


    We want it to be totally free and unrestricted and on the other hand we want it to work smoothly and civilly.

  10. Re:The tides, they are a-changin' on Forbes Examines SCO Subpoenas · · Score: 1
  11. Re:ca-ching... on SCO DOS Harming Innocent Bystanders · · Score: 1

    Makes it One Million Dollars in two months.

    You forgot to put your pinkie to the corner of your mouth and laugh...

  12. SAproxy works for me on Sorting the Spam from the Ham · · Score: 1

    I've found SAproxy to be a convenient way to run SpamAssassin with Outlook. You point your account at the locally running POP3 proxy, it filters your mail as it's coming in, prepending "*****SPAM*****" to the beginning of any suspected spam, then you add a rule in Outlook looking for that. Easy peasy (and freesy!)

  13. Re:New bug fix, more restrictive? on Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your comment reminds me of an old SNL skit called "Ruining it for Everyone."

    Speaking of ruining it for everyone, my first throught was "I wonder if I can find that episode on Gnutella"... ;)

  14. Re: Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors on Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: I voted for him

    Did you go for the dimpled chad, the hanging chad, or just punch that sucker all the way through?!

  15. Re:Not a whole hell of a lot. on Quark Matter Blamed for Paired 1993 Seismic Events · · Score: 1

    Even if it did hit your brain it probably wouldn't do enough damage to register.

    You talkin' to me, bitch?

  16. Netscape Behind? on Interview with Brewster Kahle · · Score: 1

    I knew I'd read this Slashdot story before!

  17. <A> is for Aca on JPL Clusters XServes · · Score: -1, Redundant

    MacSlash has a brief note how NASA's JPL has put together a cluster of 33 XServes that was able to achieve 1/5 teraflop

    I think you meant:

    MacSlash has a brief note how NASA's JPL has put together a cluster of 33 XServes that was able to achieve 1/5 teraflop. Apple.

  18. Just imagine... on 100 Teraflop Cray to Use Opterons · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    ... a Beowulf cluster of these!

    I'm not even sure what that means.

  19. bs on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 5, Funny

    now he's in heaven shouting "OMFG that was such bullshit!"

  20. Re:Keyboards and Monitors? on Modern Retro computing · · Score: 1
    Likewise, I miss those big-ass keyboards that click when you type.

    I missed them too, so I bought myself one from pckeyboard.com, who apparently bought the rights/tooling/whatever from IBM/Lexmark, and still make keyboards that "click" (aka buckling spring). Hey, it looks like they even have a Linux version now!

  21. talley's tally on Memoirs Found in a Bathtub · · Score: 2, Funny

    I really can't recommend this [...] book highly enough.
    rating: 9

    Whoa, talk about Kafkaesque!

  22. voting early, voting often on Next Restricted CD Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I say we specifically look for titles with this sticker, purchase them, give them a whirl in our PCs and see them not play, and return them. Vote with not just our money, but their overhead costs to handle all the returned merchandise and bad publicity when stores don't want CDs with those stickers.

    Vote with your money, yes, but deliberately buying and returning a product you're not interested in to begin with reeks of ballot stuffing to me.

  23. Re:What are the exact criteria? on McNealy Calls for National ID Card Too · · Score: 2, Funny
    What info do these "authorities" want?

    If you're reading this, then your Slashdot ID and your geek code will probably be enough for them...

  24. Re:Sequels... on Digital Dailies and the Matrix Sequels · · Score: 1
    I heard several rumors of possible directions the sequels might take:
    1. Trinity is really an agent! Sucks
    2. Neo defends a discovered Zion. Sucks
    3. A Matrix within the Matrix. Cool!
  25. Andover.net Bets Its Future On Stupid Sony Story? on Sony Bets Its Future On PlayStation II Console? · · Score: 1

    How did this lame story about a stock split percolate its way to the /. homepage?
