  1. Re:If they don't stop making shit movies they won' on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh, come now. You must admit that Hidalgo was the best Swedish actor playing a western cowboy racing through the Arabian Desert movie you've ever seen.

  2. Re:Copyright violation! on Linux for Dummies, 5th Edition · · Score: 1

    "for" is a trademark of Darls?! Ack! And that means I can't write a book on golf called "Fore" since it has his trademark in it? What am I to do?

  3. Use your time wisely on Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship? · · Score: 2

    Your best bet is to schedule time once or twice a week to play with your friends. Try doing it the same day every week like Tuesdays and Thursdays. Spend the rest of your time with your SO.

    If that doesn't work, smother your SO with kindness and follow her around constantly. Eventually she'll ask you to go away. Then you can play your VG. We she complains, repeat the recipe.

  4. Good way to get the spammers on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be considered fraud to make an email appear from someone other than the real sender or on behalf of the real sender? It is theft to steal or hide behind another persons ID as your own.

  5. SuSE 9.1 thoughts on Suse 9.1 Reviews? · · Score: 1

    I love SUSE 9.1. The one issue that annoyed me to no end, but was probably a good thing, was port 6000 for X11 is disabled by default starting in 9.1. This prevents xhosting to a machine without ssh. This is a necessary requirement for me, and it was relatively easy to fix.

    The newest rendition of YAST is even better than 9 which was sweet.

    I'm forced to use a number of distros from debian to Red Hat to Suse and frankly I stick with SUSE for my desktops and servers.

  6. Re:This is awesome on U.S. Will Use Robots to Patrol Water Supply · · Score: 1

    Does that mean that I should get a robot to excercise for me? After all I might get hurt typ...er running so much.

  7. Very similar to some degree on Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Many of the companies in Canada are just counterparts to American companies. Specifically I'm referring to MNCs (multi-national corps). However, the environment is a little more easy going unless they are a division of an American company at which point that can be more difficult to work for. I've worked in the past with Canadian divisions of an MNC and this was usually the case. Smaller companies are still the way to go. You might want to look into a Canada based insurance company since you have some experience in a similar environment.

  8. Re:Aw, crap! on Novell Announces SUSE Linux 9.1 · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can get the SUSE Upgrade version for $59.95 It only comes with the Admin Book, but it's a full blown release without the extra books. I've been using it for years.

  9. Troubleshooting the printer on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1

    I was just reading the Troubleshooting Section of the manual and came across this error "Out of paper light is flashing". Here's the fix: "Nag your husband, boyfriend, or SO and remind him that the roll must go on the TP holder a specific way, and not on the counter until the light goes off."

  10. Re:At least China is better than America on China Detains Internet Essayist for Subversion · · Score: 2, Troll

    And I thank (a God) if there is one that I do.

    We lead the world's technological revolution.

    Our government gives money and training to the poor to help them improve their lives. If they don't use it that way, it's not anyone elses' problem.

    We have on of the highest literacy rates in the world.

    We have saved the asses of every other major western country at one time or another (mostly WW II).

    Our short history and culture isn't by choice and was greatly influenced by much older culture. After all we were just colonies of the older western civilizations.

    Our government is one of the people, not the state (unlike China).

    You can actually become rich and powerful if you try.

    We have the RIAA and and DMCA protecting our "digital rights". Oh wait, they both suck.

    You're nothing but jealous.

  11. Mozilla needs it on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Mozilla could use a good branding and marketing scheme to take part of the browser market for IE.

  12. Re:no good on Joss Whedon's Firefly Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about an anthropology class?

    1) She was quite a bit more than just a prostitute, she was very well educated, well mannered and was not the top of the hierarchy.

    2) What if your ship breaks down, and you have no way of mining resources, economical constraints, and there is no incoming trade with your planet? Yes, wagons are a possibility.

    3) Ethnocentrism. Look it up.

  13. Re:80GHz? on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yah, that's part of the new requirement for Longhorn. Your machine needs to be running at 80 GHz with 512 Gigs of RAM to handle the bloat. Don't forget the 4 Terabytes of disk just to install.

  14. Re:Not to be cruel, but... on Gov't Proposes Massive Homeless Tracking System · · Score: 1

    With 20-30% of the homeless being mentally ill, we need to be using them (the homeless) for medical testing. Then the new drugs could be used to fix the Slashdot crowd.

  15. More stolen code from SCO on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I've already patented getting on a bus. You owe me a quarter.

  20. Fiction as technical on Stealing the Network · · Score: 3, Funny

    And then Bob realized he could do an nslookup on his IP. Frustration rained. They he realized that inevitably he had forgotten to put in a reverse lookup into the nameserver.

    It just doesn't work for me.

  21. Why? on Windows XP EULA Compared to GPL · · Score: 1

    Why would I want to show this to my Player's Handbook? That doesn't make sense. As for comparing the two, there is nothing useful that you can really obtain from a comparison.

  22. about time on Microsoft Commits to Using Opteron · · Score: 0, Interesting

    About time that we hear this news from MS. Now, what about linux?

  23. Re:Sun is evil on Sun Drops Linux Distro · · Score: -1, Troll

    You must remember that Sun is a business. Producing something without value does not improve profits. Yes, capitalism.

  24. Always jobs available on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 1

    America will always have fast food jobs available.

    There are plenty of jobs for programmers and engineers with the US military, CIA, FBI, and NSA. Stop your whining.
