  1. Busy signals for all on TMBG Needs a New Dial-A-Song Machine · · Score: 1

    Great, just what we need. Now even dial-a-song is slashdotted.

  2. What the pro's of the electoral college? on And The Winner Is... Nobody! · · Score: 1

    Ok, maybe this country does a lot of stupid shit in the name of tradition. I'm thinking that in the past a good reason existed to create the electoral college, but what is it? And if the reason is gone, how do we get rid of it?

  3. Does the PS2 play MP3 CD's? No. on Is The PS2 Your Next DVD Player? · · Score: 1

    I've been burning MP3's since 97 or so. The MP3 CD support of the APEX made my day. Now I can start my player on friday night and leave the same CD in all weekend. Lots cheeper then a 100 disc changer. Plus now a N64 costs $99 dollars. So for the price of a PS2 I have a DVD player, a slightly dated console and a new game (the new Zelda!). Kick Ass games are better then better looking unfun games anyway.

  4. Re:Survival Research Laboratories on Battlebots Starting On Comedy Central Tonight · · Score: 1
    Trust me their shows are something else. The only problem is that the announce the shows like the day before. I guess they have this problem with the San Francisco police because they seem to get arrested a lot. They have a jet engine they tow around behind a truck that they turn on afterburner and park in front of the Roxy. Right now they are working on a machine that works like a pitching machine that shoots 2x4's. It's powered by a 500hp Eldorado engine.

    Hey I do web design!!!

  5. Re:What's the best way to sell a high-value domain on UNIX.com On eBay? · · Score: 1
    Just Wait.

    My dad has had www.screaming.com since early '94. It's mainly used for e-mail. But, an ISP opened in England at www.screaming.net. Bad part is most people forget the difference between .net and .com so thank god for email filters. As if spam was bad enough, imagine getting span meant for 1000 different people. Anyways, some day screaming.net will won't our screaming.com so hopefully when that day comes they will make us rich. So someday someone will want amazing.com and they will contact you. I've gotten inquires for screaming, but nothing serious yet. But time will tell. Plus as time goes on domains are worth more. Well, maybe not www.news97.com

  6. Re:It depends! on What Are Good Web Coding Practices? · · Score: 1

    I'm also undegreed. I'm 19 and I've taken one college class (History of Cinema). I've used computers my whole life but I've only done Web Development for about 9 months. I could go for the computer science degree but it would be a waste of time. My boss once handed me a ASP book and said, "build me a shopping cart". It took 3 weeks of very fusturating work to pull it off but now I can design custom shopping carts. Along with database driven e-commererce sites, extranets, database driven product catalogs. Work experance beats school experiance. If I took computer courses I'd know all about bitwise operators and recursive functions, but I couldn't take a relational database class until my juinor year. The part Matt Damon says in Good Will Hunting that takes place in the Havard bar put's it best:

    "You're going to wake up 20 years from now and realize you spent 150 grand on an education you could have gotten for 1.50 in late charges at your local library."

    Or something like that

  7. I was thinking..... on Microsoft Windows 2001 Beta Slips Out · · Score: 1

    People are so worried about all the many versions of linux running around. Then there's Microsoft with a whole bunch of different versions of their operating system and they're the same company!

  8. seems like the pdf's are missing on Read Einstein's FBI File · · Score: 1
    I went to the site but everytime I tried to look at a PDF I was denied. Is the site already Slashdotted?

    It is kind of scary how much infomation the Feds can assemble on one person when that person makes the Feds paranoid.

  9. Is there a mirror for the PDF? on King's New eBook · · Score: 1
    I'm on the list at B&N to get a copy in the mail but who knows how long that will take. Does anyone have a copy and is willing to mirror it?

  10. because the dialoge in this movie sucked on Review: "Mission To Mars" · · Score: 1

    I like special effects as much as the next guy, but I try to judge a movie based on it's dialog. The movie had the worst dialog I have ever seen. It looked at though the screenwritters just fired up Word and cut and pasted parts of a bunch of other movies. I could almost predict the response of each line in the movie. Oh well. At least it let you know right away not to expect a good ending unlike Johnny Depp's "The Ninth Gate".

  11. Re:(OT)Where are the damned DeCSS Source T-Shirts? on IBM Announcements on Chip Design/Nanocommunications · · Score: 1
    Thanks so much. I thought I saw one on www.thinkgeek.com Guess I was looking in the wrong place.

  12. 1 clueless user on DOD Overhauls Network to Thwart Crackers · · Score: 1

    Or even better, somebody working from home can dial in on a idsn and have their Linux box just part on the LAN over there. Then maybe they make their root passwd something like: root, blank, their name, etc. and then the 3LiTe Haqrz!! can come in through the hole.
