  1. Re:Cheaper Macs? on Intel To Slash Prices Up To 60% · · Score: 1

    The biggest reason I went for AMD when I was a kid (now I've fallen in love with them) is upgradability. I remember intel would always change their sockets, so that I could never upgrade my celeron to a PIII or later P4. AMD have been using slot a then socket a forever, so I could upgrade and still keep it hip! just another insight as to why somebody would pick amd over intel

  2. Re:Marketing gone mad on Consumers Look For More Utilitarian Cellphones · · Score: 1

    Sprint will in fact turn off text messaging if you ask (just call). And you can enable net guard to disable vision, the updates however I have no solution for.

  3. Re:He wants to allow what again? on Prying Open the Cable Market · · Score: 1

    I for one, think that most cable companies (read: comcast) are terrible at dealing with customers. Do you all remember how cable companites used to say "on XX date from 9AM - 5PM", well after Satelite TV came out, suddenly they're more like a normal business, with a set time and day.

    Ideally this would happen again, light a fire under their ass. Remmeber, competition breeds excellence

  4. should have used unix on Border Security System Left Open · · Score: 1

    "of Windows 2000 Professional workstations installed at U.S. points of entry" Oh snaps! Seriously though, as a formers Windows user, 2000 was the most robust and best OS MS ever put out. The best choice in windows OS still failed to do it's job

  5. Re:One Point For Gmail on Gmail vs Pine · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about WEBpine? That sorta kills that argument.

    (What it doesn't kill is that pine still sucks, gmail for life!)

  6. If they enforced this on Fired for Solitare At Work · · Score: 5, Funny

    If they enforced this I think about 99% of the slashdotters would be fire. I know I'd be 0wned
