  1. Re:What every telco wants... on Judge Tosses Telco Suit Over City-Owned Network · · Score: 1

    What a load of crap. TDS was doing their dog-in-the-manger act, and now is only putting in fiber as an act of revenge.

    Business as usual at $US_PHONE_COMPANY

  2. I wonder... on Algorithms Can Make You Pretty · · Score: 4, Funny

    ..how this would handle a goatse pic.

  3. GroundWork on Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring · · Score: 1

    For those of you that aren't particularly fond of the complexity of Nagios' configuration, check out GroundWork. It's basically Nagios + a fairly easy-to-use web interface. We've been using it up at my work for over a year and it works great.

  4. Re:not good. on Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring · · Score: 1

  5. Re:That's a lot of stuff... on Couple Funds Honeymoon With Recyclables · · Score: 1

    That's a lot of Slurm

    Fixed that for ya.

  6. TPM on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sounds like a few too many people at DARPA liked 'The Phantom Menace' a little too much.

  7. Re:Scary on Microsoft Adding jQuery To Visual Studio · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone that has used VisualStudio or any of MS programming options will cringe at MS definition of "integrate".

    Uh, care to elaborate on that? I've used VS before and I've actually found their integration of technologies (SOAP for example) to be quite nice. VS is one of the few MS products that hasn't turned into a completely piece of shit over the years....but I'll still take Eclipse over it any day.

  8. Re:Ummm... on Michael Robertson Sued Over Missing Linspire Cash · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how Linspire was ever profitable. It didn't offer anything revolutionary and was basically Debian/Ubuntu with a few extra features that no one cared about. Can someone please enlighten me on how Linspire was ever a force in the market?

    I believe they made their money with OEMs and retail stores that were stupid enough to by their products and attempt to resell them.

  9. Re:pretty cool on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spawns Real-Life Car · · Score: 1

    BFG 9000 FTW!

    C'mon...lets be realistic now ;)

  10. pretty cool on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spawns Real-Life Car · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now if only the gun industry would follow their lead and build me a hand-held railgun.

  11. Re:Yay! on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    But you're not livin' the High Life.

  12. mythtv apps on Cell Chip Coming To the PC Via a PCI Express Card · · Score: 4, Interesting

    this + mythtv = interesting possibilities

  13. surprising? on The Pirate Bay — "Just a Very Large Hobby" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Peter Sunde and Fredrik Neij are actually 'polite, humorous and down-to-earth.'

    And does this surprise anyone? I think most will find that most people that work in IT are this way. Sure there's the occasional elitist that likes to think their shit doesn't smell, but on the whole I'd say most people in IT are reasonable, easygoing people.

  14. Re:Holy crap... on IBM Wants Patent On Finding Areas Lacking Patents · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That sounds (C) 2008 Patently Unpatentable(tm)(R) (patent pending)

    Fixed that for ya.

  15. Re:$30k - $150k? on Activision Goes After Individual Game Pirates · · Score: 1

    The point of punitive damages is to punish the offending party and to deter others from commiting the same offense, such that others would be stupid to even consider trying to pull something like this off.

  16. Re:If it works as advertised... on Drop-In Replacement For Exchange Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    Looked at it once and found the entire thing to be a collection of undocumented code. On top of it, it is all implemented in a very ugly manner.

    If people didn't use software because of that reason, then nobody would use Windows

  17. If it works as advertised... on Drop-In Replacement For Exchange Now Open Source · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ..I'll DEFINATELY be installing this for our company's mail server. I currently have Zimbra setup, which is very nice, but the bosses don't like it because it doesn't integrate into Outlook very well (iCalendar, contacts, etc), without the outlook connector that you have to pay for. No hate on Zimbra though...I absolutely love it's capabilities and ease-of-use, but it's a deal-breaker w/the management types if won't support the 'advanced' features in Outlook.

  18. Re:Right wing = fear? on Political Viewpoints Linked To Fear · · Score: 1

    Or maybe they're just more situationally aware because they're not high.

    As opposed to drunk?

  19. Re:xbmc rocks on XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I actually had that setup a few years ago. I had my server which ran mythtv-backend, then the XBox was the frontend via the XBMC MythTV plugin. It was simply amazing. Coupled with MythWeb, there's nothing like it. I would schedule my recordings from work via MythWeb and have a nice list of stuff to watch when I got home :).

  20. xbmc rocks on XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform · · Score: 4, Insightful

    XBMC is the only reason I own an XBox. It's simply an amazing piece of software. I definitely look forward to trying it out on my Linux box...What would be really amazing would be XBMC for the 360 so that we could get true HD support.

  21. Re:You guys are bad at math. on 7th-Grader Designs Three Dimensional Solar Cell · · Score: 1

    A 500% increase is a five-fold increase. Not five-hundred fold.

    Solar panels with his 3D cells would provide 500 times more light absorption than commercially-available solar cells and nine times more than cutting-edge 3D solar cells.

  22. good for them on EFF Sues NSA, President Bush, and VP Cheney · · Score: 1

    Thank god someone's standing up to this BS. Although their mileage with this suite may not end up being what we hope, it's definitely a move in the right direction.

  23. Re:Rule #1: If you learn something, don't tell any on Asus Ships Cracking Software On Recovery DVD · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I believe the correct spelling is shyyyyyyaat!

    Wow, I didn't realize Noah Bennet was a slashdotter.

  25. Inventors on Berners-Lee Launches New W3 Foundation · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web...

    Sounds like him and Al Gore have something in common
