How Ironic..

On: The Message from Seattle

People are on here rallying against corporations, yet...they're posting on a website owned by a corporation.

Hmm...Basketball sized huh?

...Off the valleys, around Mt. Olympus, over the Phobos, under Deimos, nothing but soil.

Can't he press for reparations? & Re: Gawd Damn

On: Y2K Movie Followup: The Slashdot Effect Gone Wrong

You'd think he could make some sort of claim of lost buisness due to this, and ask the US for some sort of payment.

Also, in rely to Gawd Damn, that little AC freak posted the same thing in the Aibo thread..

A Good website for Aibo...

On: Interview with The Mind Behind Aibo

There is a website, created by an Aibo owner, that is a meeting point for all Aibo owners.
They show off their photos, discuss various problems, remark about the AI, etc..
The website is called Aibonet.

The Aibo is THE girl magnet for geeks. I've seen a crowd of women cooing over an Aibo that some guy owned.
Aibo does fetch...just not sticks ;)

This makes a great excuse!

Where do you see the stereotype? Vietnam is humid, and rice is the staple of the Vietnamise diet.

I'd rather go to a polling place than online

On: Iowa to test forms of Internet voting

Call me old fashioned, but I'd rather stand in a line, usher into a booth and make my selections. Personally, it feels better, makes me feel like I'm actually exercising my right to vote.

I'd rather do it that way than sit and home and click my votes in. I'll leave that to Slashdot polls. :)

Re:kinda sucks

On: Comdex Lets Teen Execs Attend

Comdex was an adult show at one point, but the last time there was any sort of adult content was at Comdex Fall'95 I believe. It was all downstairs at the Sands Convention Center.

That part of Comdex was been booted out (for bad press, arrests, etc), and has become their own convention. AdultDex. AdultDex is held seperately from Comdex, at a different hotel somewhere else in town.

Also, I've noticed that a good portion of the vendors are becoming more friendly to showcasing their products to the late teen set. Comdex has helped this trend by dropping the age limit to 18 from 21.
Creative Labs and other "gamer" companies have created gamer friendly booths. Heck, 3 years ago Creative let conventioneers play Quake for prizes.
At last year's Comdex, 3dFx had a 1v1 competition in Quake 2 against Thresh.

So, why would some vendors be hawking to a younger audience? Sales. Capture their attention, show off all the bells and whistles, and get them to buy your sound card, video card, game, etc, etc.
Just like tobacco companies. Get 'em young and keep em for life. *g*

Comdex has bowed to the mob for years now. This incident just showcases it.
