  1. Re:Great Concept on SplunkBase Brings IT Troubleshooting Wiki to the Masses · · Score: 1

    So... nothing will get approved for posting unless it has a solution?

  2. Nice ad on The World's First Banner Ad · · Score: 1

    I like the way it's designed to "trick" people into CLICKING RIGHT HERE -> even though the whole block is the link. Yes, I know, we've seen that before many, many times, it just never occured to me that the Internet's first ever banner ad (supposedly) would use gimmick.

    And the punchline "YOU WILL!" is a nice touch. How did they know?

  3. Re:Lessons to be learned on Gizmondo Future Sealed · · Score: 1

    Sure, like Jizzmo, the little furry guy in Gremlins

  4. Didn't they stop publishing this years ago? on Alan Moore Pulls LOEG From DC Comics · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it a four-part miniseries published in the late '80s or something???

  5. Boppers! (nmt) on Self-Replicating Robots · · Score: 1

    For those who came in late:

    http://www.rudyrucker.com/

  6. Could be Diet on Interview with the Creator of BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Get him off the artificial sweeteners and sourers and see if that makes any difference. Fixed my kids up lickity split.

    (not just artificial foods, lots of natural stuff is bad for some people too, eg milk)

  7. 2c worth on NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters · · Score: 1

    1) Personally I would love to read a point-by-point explanation of how every flaw in the Apollo evidence is invalid, coz it doesn't make sense to me.

    2) Didn't CBS pay the guy in that movie The Insider $12,000 in the early '90s to consult on translating two scientific documents into laymans terms for a news story on housefires? By that standard $15,000 for a _book_ about the _moon landing_ is chickenfeed.

  8. I'm copying one now on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    For a network boot disk to run Ghost off the server.

    Never bothered with that whole bootable NIC thing, too much like hard work.

    Also I occasionally plug one into my home machine when ppl bring stuff over on floppy. I guess they could burn a 500k CD if they wanted to :-)

  9. Re: Basically none on Microsoft Would Settle For The Children · · Score: 1

    Damn wish that had been the case in the Win95/NT3 days when I used to take calls for the stuff at a resellers.

    It was fucking painful I can tell you :(

  10. NESTOR! NESTOR! on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 1

    This may even make up for the de-die fliedermausing

  11. Re:UT's GL support on Virtual Reality With Unreal Tournament · · Score: 1

    It's gotten better since the release. Check out the updates on unreal.epicgames.com if your interested.

  12. That's not Face... on Virtual Reality With Unreal Tournament · · Score: 1

    ...that's Lava Giant!

    Score -1 Pedantic

  13. Re:It could be worse on MSN Forces Outlook POP · · Score: 1

    They are. It is. You're on...?

  14. Re:Why does everyone think on Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    I thought games were supposed to be fun?

  15. ^^Funny^^ on Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI · · Score: 1

    That guy's funny, mod him up.

    There, that's got to be my moderating contribution for the next 10 years I reckon.

  16. Re:this is a nonstory on Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI · · Score: 1

    Well given that we now have more info, is the story less invalid?

  17. Re:What amazes me... (OT: Nazi republicans) on Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI · · Score: 1

    How about the Bush family's extensive holdings in IG Farben and the other companies that manufactured weapons such as poison gas for the Third Reich?

  18. Re:local news links on Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link

  19. Re:this is a nonstory on Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI · · Score: 1

    I think the issue of hosts being shut down by the goverment for ANY reason needs is important and newsworthy, ESPECIALLY on those hosts that may be serving content outside the realm of manistream thought.

  20. Not happy Jan :( on images.google.com · · Score: 1

    dr emilio lizardo = no documents found :(

  21. This is out of character :) on Regulator Challenges DVD Zoning · · Score: 1

    Wow who would've thought the Aussie govt would actually come out on the side of the CMITS for once?

    Of course the ACCC is generally a hot-air commision. The boss guy likes to hog the limelight by making bold condemnations of various anti-competetive scams but then it generally all fizzles out to nothing once the cameras are turned off :(

  22. Re:Damn right -- it should be cancelled on NASA Shuts Down X-33, X-34 Programs · · Score: 1

    Exactly! That's the whole point of the cancellation. Sheesh.

  23. Good stuff on $200 Net PC to Close Brazil's Digital Divide · · Score: 1

    It's about time. Now if they could just make it run on clockwork....

  24. Re:Try Holland on Is The U.S. No Longer The Choice For Freedom? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to second that notion. They have their share of fascism and exploitation and everything too, but it's a lot better than Belgium :)

  25. Re:Realsoft3D on AmigaOS 3.9 Released At World of Amiga Show · · Score: 1

    Ah but it's still pretty damn impressive software... there are many things I do where the first thing I think is "yeah, real3D'll does that for me". In this day and age I see so many people wasting their lives trying to learn 3D studio... real 3D has all the power, and complexity, but it's much much more flexible and yet somehow easier to use... :)
