Slashback: Crusher, Satellites, Silence
That fetid odor continues to rise. cconnell writes "In September, Slashdot and Developer.com were kind enough to publish an article I wrote titled Most Software Stinks!. The article generated 748 comments on slashdot, making it one of the most active stories in recent months. Here is a follow up piece I wrote which responds to some of the comments."
Silence, fool! The Panther! writes "Here's an article I wrote that shows step by step how to achieve some measure of silence in my home office. It's different from most in that it approaches damping existing hardware rather than buying new. Some ideas were suggestions of Slashdot readers from a previous article. Lots of photos for the reading-impaired." Hemos may have been going for a rather normal-looking but quiet PC, but The Panther sure isn't.
Step 39: With your dremel strapped to the hamster, gently nudge the billiard ball ... Now that the famous pencil trick isn't an option for would-be AMD overclockers, more complicated means have been found to unlock and reclock. Carlos writes: "I saw that you have a scoopage on the unlocking of the Athlon XP by Tom's Hardware and there is a better and more reversible way by VR-Zone."
200 years is a long time even for a Congressman. Michael H. writes "Woohoo! Congress has given a $30 million shot in the arm to the Pluto-Kuiper Belt mission, previously feared canceled. CNN story here. There's still no guarantee that it won't be canceled later, but at least Congress is listening to the fact that it would take ~200 years for the next window if we missed this one."
Hey, that guy's too old to be a kernel maintainer -- we'll make him an actor. bahamat wrote yesterday: "I'm hanging out in Wil Wheaton's chat room (#rfb on undernet) and he's just announced that he's going to be making a cameo as Wesley Crusher in the new Star Trek X." Apparently, the news hit quite a few readers, too -- and for those who haven't, check out our interview with Wil. Maybe he'll get to be on The Tick, too.
200 years is a long time even for a Congressman.
Yeah, 200 years is a long time. I wonder why Congress didn't take advantage of this when our country was just beginning about 200 years ago. If they had, imagine how much smarter we'd be today.
Netscape 4 doesn't qualify as a browser. Or if you insist that it does, it's a braindead browser.
I've jettisoned designing for Netscape 4. Considering that my pages work in every other goddamn browser ever created, I consider it an adequate tradeoff.
Flush N4 down the toilet. (And yes, I run a Pentium 133. I tend to just use lynx.)
Goatse.cx is a picture of a hugely distended anus, adequacy seems to be the home of intelligent debate on the Internet. Kind of like slashdot about 3 or 4 years ago.
Anyway, lets appeal to the moderators. Must ensure the collective groupthink holds sway!.
Moron.
