  1. Re:General Cinema Framingham, MA on Star Wars Digital Projection Theaters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Being 6'4'' the thing I look for in a cinema is enough room for me to sit comfortably and stretch my legs.

    Amen brother. being 6' 5" makes sitting in movie theater rows awful cramped. Plus I can't find a place to keep my huge feets. =/

  2. How much, eh? on Making an Independent Web Site? · · Score: 1
    How much autonomy can a regular person get on the Internet?


    As much as you can afford. If you can plink down the chips to get your own lines and servers, then do so and pay out the nose for hella bandwidth.

  3. The Solaris Secret Six? on Sun Reconsidering Solaris 9 for x86 · · Score: 3, Funny

    As compared to the "OS/2 Only Six?"

    I thought Stallman was portrayed in a pretty positive manner....


    It's a good thing cameras only capture light and not smell.

  5. Re:Just dont crack the planet in half.. on Goodbye Global Warming!...Hello Terraforming? · · Score: 1
    thank you (not) for spoiling a movie I haven't seen yet. Between you and others, I have seen the whole movie without reading a single article discussing it.


    Great, then you've heard about the part where Guy Pearce catches Natalie Portman's petrified nakedness in a tub full of hot grits and penis birds?

  6. Listen... on Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 · · Score: 5, Funny

    and you might hear the crackle of a flaming C64...

  7. This wins... on Mac OS X Secrets of the Elite · · Score: 1

    No comments yet and the site's coming up 404. I wonder if it really exists. That would be a good April Fool's joke.

  8. Re:Why? on Amino Acids Created in Deep-Space-Like Environment · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not about use with space exploration. It's about being prepared for what's to come during said exploration. If amino acids can form in deep space, then the conditions might also be right for things like proteins to assemble. Basic building blocks of life could be right around the celestial corner. They could even be leading to life forms.



    I'm just hoping there's nothing out there that demands that we call it Xenu\Linux.

  9. Re:Extinction on Nuclear Mutant Flies Are Good For Africa? · · Score: 2

    I just hope we don't meet any aliens who decide that we are getting in the way of their population of earth


    Does the word Vogons mean anything to you?

    'Nuff said!

  13. Won't someone think of the children? on TCP/IP Enabled Lego Brick · · Score: 5, Funny

    What happens when one of the bricks gets the Slashdot Effect? I forsee smoldering Lego structures and very frightened toddlers.

  14. Re:MHz Doesn't Equal Performance on 1.3GHz Duron Arrives · · Score: 1
    Ever since AMD started cranking out Durons at 1 GHz and above, they've been outfitted with the same chip core as the XP chips. This means SSE as well as the old favorites of 3DNow! and MMX.

    As for the cache situation, the Durons have approx. 1/4th the L2 cache (64 KB) of the Athlon (256 KB) but the same size L1 cache (128 KB.)

    You are dead on about the clock for clock comparison of the Durons and P3/Celerons. Durons are made to conquer the low-end market by competing with the fastest low end chips from Intel and the high end chips of yester-year (yester-week?)

  15. Re:For once Microsoft manged to fix it first on Major Linux/Athlon CPU bug discovered · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Impressive. on Robert Love, Preemptible Kernel Maintainer Interviewed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Studying comes after Kernel Hacking and right before Binge Drinking. If we're not lucky, then the Kernel Hacking would come after or during the Binge Drinking

  17. Re:When Strong Crypto Is Outlawed on Export-level Encryption Proves Insufficient · · Score: 1, Offtopic

  19. Re:Bottom Line? on Radeon 8500/GeForce3 Ti500 comparison · · Score: 2
    It looks like sol.exe is really gonna rock on these things.


    Oh sure, sol.exe will rock, but think how much more it will rock on the ATi cards if renamed quake3.exe.....

  20. Interesting turn on Maine buys 38,600 ibooks for Public Schools · · Score: 1

    An iBook for every 6th, 7th and 8th grader is a great undertaking.
    Including AirPort wireless is an even larger logistical headache.
    May God have mercy on the souls (and minds) of the people responsible for it once it's unleashed. Let's also hope these children aren't warped from real kiddies to 5cr1p7 k1dd135!

  23. They can take my DSL modem.... on Dump Broadband, Dig Out Your Modem! · · Score: 2
    after they pry it from my cold dead fingers.


    Sure my DSL isn't the best, but it beats the hell out of a modem. I can get a constant minimum of 400kbps which ain't too shabby considering it's split with my roommate. Sure it's a hassle to reboot when the connection drops (discontinued 3Com DSL modem with driver issues) but it is not worth going back to dialup, especially when there are two web-heads in the house.

  24. Re:Halloween Night 1979 on Slashdot Ghost Stories? · · Score: 1
