Slashback: Armed, Cracked, Cables

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the timothy-is-out-blowing-things-up dept.

Slashback this holiday evening with just a few quick updates and follow-ups (below) -- I hope those to whom the Fourth of July is a significant holiday are out (responsibly) making things explode.

Nearly anything is better than ribbon cables. aibrahim writes "In the recent /. article about Serial ATA some people wanted to know where SCSI was going, and if Serial ATA could deal with some higher end workstation and low end server requirements. Apparently it has been decided that Serial ATA 2 (pdf doc) and Serial Attached SCSI are the answers."

Because being an American is all about first-person shooters. and i starve writes: "For any of you FPS fans out there who have been champing at the bit to see the newest product of our very own government's attempt at a multiplayer video game since Marine Doom your day has final come. America's Army, which utilizes the Unreal Warfare engine was created and designed by the United States Army and is TOTALLY FREE! go grab it off of File Planet right now!"

Before you hit your "JINGO" button, though, An anonymous reader cautions "In typical Army fashion the release of America's Army is a bust. All the servers are either full or down and the way it's set up, you can't play past the basic training without completing some of the training online. Since you can't connect to any of the servers to complete that training you basically can't play the game at all. What a waste of taxpayer money."

Nobody needs to make any cracks about this. Anonymous Coward writes "According to this CNN Article, [some cracks were] found on Space Shuttle Columbia this week, possibly delaying missions for the remainder of the year. This crack is similar to the crack found on Columbia's sister ships, Atlantis and Discovery. "

Worst pun in relation to this gets no prize.

    Timmy's Holiday at Home

    Timmy, dressed in his fluffy pink angora sweater, is stroking Bruce, his big tabby tomcat. The sounds of Johnny Mathis on the hi-fi fill a rosey bed chamber. Dreams of Mikinos dance in Timmy's head, as he rubs his silky thighs with Coppertone, and switches on the sun lamp. In the corner sits Randy, ready for another long night of Timmy's man-love.

    I so hate it when people who *actually know about something* sre ignored by the /. crowd just because they're not 'in the flow' of whatever parochial, or paranoid discussion happens to be taking place at the time.
