  1. Hmmm on GNU XFce 3.2.0 Desktop Now Available · · Score: 1

    Another Gnome compettitor. I've never used it but I like the smaller size (sawmill [E only no bloat] rules!) but I think I'm gonna be stickin with the short dude... meaning "The Gnome" meaning "Gnome" of course. *sigh*

  2. DAMN on New ATi 3D Chip · · Score: 1

    DAMMIT!!! I just got a Voodoo2 1000 PCI card (because of the @!$#%* built in ATI Mach64 I have there isn't an AGP slot - my mobo SUCKS) for $50... now they're coming out with cards that new games will need them to play! Dammit, dammit, dammit! *sigh* there's always Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament... ;)

  3. Cool on Canadian Recording Industry Ass'n Lets DJs use MP3s · · Score: 1

    This is very cool... the MP3 hate slackens in good ole Canada. My friends and I in the US are making something that can play MP3s on our school radio (not just plugging in a laptop... bringing in a CD/disk [not sure which just comin in in the middle of the project :P] for which we will build a player for...) so that'll be cool.

  4. Actually on Carmack on the retail Quake3 for linux · · Score: 1

    I was planning on doing that in the first place!... But... why do we need to be told? Did someone port th Windows version? I hope companies begin to see that we are a big audience... I REALLY hope to see Diablo 2 come out for Linux :)

  6. *sob* on 'Kyle's Mom' is Dead at Age 38 · · Score: 1

    I am very sorry to hear this and my condolences go out to anyone who feels bad about this. First Phil Hartman, and now this? What's the world coming to? I wonder why she went through with this... I mean, she was on South Park, a very successful show! This reminds me of a poem from the Spoon River Anthology about all these people seeing a rich man and wishing to be him. Then, the man shoots himslef in the head. You must wonder why admirable people do such things, but I suppose we can't ask them or anything. *sigh*

  7. This sounds cool on OpenSSH Project Now at openssh.com · · Score: 1

    I never used ssh or telnet or any other way of remotly connecting to connect to my box. All my ports are closed and I feel safe from outside attacks. But I have always wanted to connect from my school as they run Windows (a Bad Thing) and I run Linux (a Good Thing) and I am in a programming class. I think now with this openssh I will get VNC and do so. Does anyone know if there is a windows version of openssh?

  8. 3dfx: yaaaaaaaaaaaay on 3dfx Glide and DRI Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    I like 3dfx. I HAVE 3dfx. Quake3 and Unreal Tournament are sweet. The fact that now the drivers are open source is even sweeter because I sure would like to wrap my brain around it for a little while, see what makes it go. I wonder what effect this will have on 3dfx card makers though? Maybe none, maybe a lot. I think that that is why many commercial companies don't go opes source, because we would take the code (not a bad thing) but many more of the same product would be released, driving the company out of business. Aw, who knows.

  9. Hell on Giving Project Gutenberg Recognition · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna spread the word on IRC and all sites I have (as if anyone visits them). I've always wanted to see books online and finding this site was a godsend. Seeing as the only other site that does (did... I think they stopped a month ago) was MCP but those books (teach yourself jack shit in 2 seconds) weren't worth reading anyways.

  10. Wait a minute... on China Plots Cyberspace War Strategy · · Score: 1

    Isn't this how all those sci-fi books start out in which computers eventually take over the world? We begin creating technology that will eventually destroy us because of war, and this declaration could be just that. I think a few shooter games start like taht too. Hey, a lot of sci fi authors have guessed right about the future... what if this is one of those things? *shudder*

    Well, I think that some of the recent ass-mongerish stuff that has happened recently with licensing was getting old, but fortunatly this came along. I mentioned in another comment about breaking laws / copyrights that suck, well, Rob, sorry dude but your copyright sucks. *BREATHE*BREATHE*BREATHE* HAHAH... you'll NEVER get me to pay for that!

I'm not trusting my money to something that is eaten by manatee, whales, and other critters. And that's an awful high opening price, huh?

  17. GOOD! on ACLU Launches Echelonwatch · · Score: 1

    I'm glad that someone is finally doing something other than trying to crash the damn thing. I don't know how we are going to get around this. I mean, if this is a government thing, who do we go to to make people realize this is a breach of our rights? Sheesh. And if you don't think it IS a breach of our rights, it sorta falls under freedom of speech / press. People have been sued for _much_ less, I mean come on!

  18. Well... on Easy MP3 Distribution · · Score: 1

    this sounds like a cool idea. Too bad that the l337 $kr1p7 k1dd33$ that will, unfortunatly, eventually log on and try to "haX0r" your computer. That's why I sit here with all incoming ports closed and accost these 3l337 d00d3$. I had one saying he knew C better than anyone... when asked what a pointer was, he said "well, it points to something, you dumb fuck!"
    One of the guys on that particular IRC channel got so pissed of he got on the kid's box found out his address and home phone. The kid recieved ten pizza deliveries that night alone >:)

  19. Cool. on The Broken God · · Score: 1

    I'm glad that book reviews have begun to grow in number on slashdot . Love reading them. This book sounds great I'll check it out. I've begun to notice, however, that many sci-fi / fantasy themes are very similar. Unfortunatly, you can only read the same plot so many times. I hope more original stuff, as this seems to be, keeps coming. Authors need to innovate (ie do the opposite of MS). I hope to see many more books like this in the future :)

    I personally belive that MD is nifty, but not nifty enough. I like plain ol' CDs these days seeing as I don't have to buy new hardware to listen to the same music. Some mention that prices are falling like a stone, well, you look at the price for an NES these days? It's dropping because its... lets say it together folks... ob... so... lete! Oh well. I could be wrong. I didn't think... and still don't think... DVD is gonna last.

    from the looks of it, Netscape is the best we have right now. I think M11 and then M12 in mid-december for Mozilla will definilty win me over. I have used Opera on Windows and its kinda icky IMHO. gzilla: blech. oooh... I WISH they'd make IE for Linux!!! *runs and hides while getting -5 moderation*
    PS that IE thing was a joke. If it did ever make it, this is how installation would go:

    making BorgingSelfIntoSystem.c
