  1. new name? on Toxic Fumes From Mac Pros? · · Score: 1, Funny

    i'm thinking iCancer

  2. thats pretty awesome... on Man Uses Remote Logon To Help Find Laptop Thief · · Score: 0

    i never really thought about enabling remote desktop just for that purpose. I think i am going to install winamp remote or the no-ip client just so i can log the IP's at least.

    its like laptop lojack for free.

  3. this is the shitiest policy EVAR on Comcast Outlines New Broadband Policy · · Score: 0

    what a load of serious bullshit. i am not even a comcast costumer, but with policies like this i never will be. Seriously I watch a few hours of LEGIT internet video a day. Does that make me a filthy pirate? FUCK NO. but comcast traps you in a situation that makes you accountable for the downfall of the internets bandwidth.

    I cant Believe that gramma's 500KB of kitten pictures WILL take priority legit youtube viewer.

    what a load of shit.

  8. thank you Microsoft... on Microsoft Patents "Pg Up" and "Pg Dn" · · Score: 0

    but i'll think i'll just have a TAB...unless you patent that too

  9. Re:If the best we can do in "manned space flight" on Shuttle Retirement In 2010 Under Review · · Score: 0

    i absolutely agree with this guy. there is nothing we have done in space in the last 30 years that we couldn't have done unmanned...with the exception of the hubble repair. It's embarrassing that NASA has to cycle through republican presidents to get what they want.

  10. I thought everyone did this. on Inferring Personality From Email Addresses · · Score: 0

    Maybe i have been online to much but i have always profiled email addresses and screen names. and to determine everything from age to race. It always is a good indicator that lets me know what to expect.

    here are some fun examples... african-americans tend to type the addresses in all caps.

    Younger people tend to show there age at the time the create their in the address and older people usually put their year of birth in the address.

    artists might use European spellings in there words in the address.

    There are alot of things you can use to determine who your emails are coming from, i just wish i could have gotten some of that funding instead of actually having to work.

  11. So... on Theorists Make Quantum Communications Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    ...by using two channels it works like download accelerator plus and dial-up. I knew SOMETHING would make DAP work, and it was quantum mechanics.

    Tool.

  14. Re:What this? on A Copyright Cop In Every Zune · · Score: 0

    holy shit...after reading through almost every comment and getting infuriated because i own a TWO Zunes and everyone is an apple fanboy, I just realized that this guy is right. This a a scare tacticfor people selling videos with phony DRM on them (wrapper codecs like vodei). i think all of us except for xbytor completely missed the point. There is no way that the device could scan media and separate legit "purchased" content from "bootlegged" content. but just a few simplesteps could help track down "illegitimate" content from sites similar to allofmp3.com. i dont think that it will cripple the zune at all, nor will it block you from viewing content. it will most likely record, to the best of its ability, where the content originated from and what codecs it started out with to help track down companies that truly infringe on copywrites.

  15. maybe i am missing the point. on NASA Plans Lunar Mobile Phone Network · · Score: 0

    i mean, when you answer the phone, don't you have to take your space hat off? isn't that bad?

  21. in communist Russia... on NASA Engineers Work on New Spacesuits · · Score: 0

    ...the have been using light, easy to use and easy to repair spacesuits for decades (probable the same ones, at that). However, NASA has been looking at their design for years. The Russian space suit is a single piece and the user enters it through the back and a counterpart uses closes it from behind. Really this doesn't seem like a big deal unless they are truly in the last phases of design.

  23. Mark of the Beast? on Homeland Security Offers Details on Real ID · · Score: 0

    i know it is not, but there is an Evangelical Christian magazine called Endtimes that believes it is...seriously. I am anti national ID, but only for privacy reasons, but these fuckers are crazy...
    check out their site, http://www.endtime.com/

    Can you believe our Prez swings with these guys?

  24. WE know they do this.... on Best Buy Confirms 'Secret' Version of its Website · · Score: 0

    the geeks, that is, know it. I worked for Best Buy for three years. Over that time I saw, at least once a week, four different prices for one single item. The text based intranet for inventory and store to store communications would have one price, The Internal Bestbuy.com would have another price, The printed ad would again, be priced differently and finally, the external bestbuy.com would have another price.
    This wasn't a big deal, but we were never authorized to change the price unless the customer was aware of the lower price, otherwise we weren't supposed to mention it. That was our store. Other were hopefully different.
    We know to do our research and look out for stuff like this, but I know most of their customers do not....and they know that too.

    but remember, they aren't on commission.

  25. maybe slashdot.... on Newspaper Headlines Bow To SEO Demands · · Score: 0

    maybe slashdot should try clearer, more concise headlines? Seriously, I know i am not the only one that gets suckered into reading some BS story about baseball players http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/01/ 0425216
