  1. Slashdotted... on Is H.R.1907 Patent Reform that We Want? · · Score: 1

    This server seems slashdotted right now but I found out earlier that you can often use google to access slashdotted servers, by typing the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:[url of slashdotted server] so in this particular case you can use this link. Note that this doesnt make the URLS on the target page valid so you'll have to do some editing in the address bar of your browser to get to the cached version of the featured links.

  2. I'd like to see pictures of the inside... on The 21" Frankenstein iMac · · Score: 1

    I find it a bit suspicious that the guy didnt think of taking pictures during the assembly... This sure looks like a scam except maybe for the cdrom sticking halfway out... Anyone think my way?

  3. Re:Heh... on The 21" Frankenstein iMac · · Score: 1

    hehe what exactly do you mean? fit a palmpilot in a 21 incher, or fit the imac inside the palm? :) option A would be so geekly useless and funny, I think someone should do something about it

  4. Re:What about WINE? on Linux to Get Windows Apps? · · Score: 1

    I think that what it does is basically make C source code written for Windows be directly compilable under Linux and X (or almost)... Would be real cool, since the makers of some of the best shareware/freeware windows apps could easily port their programs to Linux... Considering the incredible ease of installation of recent distributions, availability of even more high quality software, the moment when not only installing, but running Linux will be easier than Windows may be coming Real Soon(tm)... Only thing still missing might be for the administration and configuration tools (linuxconf, YaST, COAS etc) to become even simpler and easier to use for laypeople. I can't believe how far and how fast the scene has advanced the last two years.

  5. It's the online casinos that take the loss on Woman Avoids $70,000 Online Gambling Debt · · Score: 1

    I think that you misread that part of the article: "Under the settlement, Visa USA agreed to forgive the debt, and will collect the money instead from the gambling sites."
