  1. Re:This Is A Polutant Thang, Not The Drug War on Drug Testing Entire Cities at Once · · Score: 1

    >Frankly, most water districts are so busy trying to keep everything flowing in the right direction, they couldn't be less interested in wasting time checking on your THC-related metabolic byproducts.

    Just wait until your tax dollars subsidise the sewer districts...

  2. power? we don't need no stinkin power! on Managing Linux and Virtual Machines? · · Score: 1

    a lot of the comments mention the z's large io and lack of power. if you want power, get a p and install Debian/PPC on it.

  3. Re:I put everything in one folder on How Do You Organize Your Data? · · Score: 1

    I don't know why this comment got a Score of 5, Funny. I was so frustrated with this problem that this is what I did. I don't hunt for any e-mails anymore. I hit the search button and let the computer do all the work. Your mail client should allow enough search criteria for you to let it do the organizing.

    btw, anyone remember newdocms?

  4. switch switch switch switch switch on Postfix: A Secure and Easy-to-Use MTA · · Score: 1

    Gee, Glenn. I wonder if we can get a bunch of slashdotters to take a software they've used forever and get them to switch to another one.

  5. still no debian package on Native Java JDK 1.3.1 Support For FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    It's nice to have a native binary for another platform and all, but it couldn't have been too much work to just repackage a binary they already have.
    Product packaging as debs for Debian linux (link to Java bug db)

  6. Eraser Bot? HELLO! on IBM Testing New Grid Technology with Quake 2 · · Score: 1

    So why is IBM making bots? Someone's already done that: http://impact.frag.com/
    Or are they making bots optimized for the grid? They should definitely start with the eraser bots instead of starting from scratch.

  7. Re:Comparing Apples to ....eh. on Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s · · Score: 1

    MS never claimed that Windows XP would work on your 386, 8086, 8088. IIRC, MS said that many would need to upgrade.

    so ms claims that it will work on my athlon? does it work on my athlon? does it work on anyone's athlon? does it work on anyone's anything? i don't think so.

  8. Re:power distribution on Satellite Views Of The Blackout · · Score: 1

    Did anyone notice the added lights around Moncton, New Brunswick (Canada)? If you look carefully at the blackout pictures, you'll see that Moncton and other parts of New Brunswick have more light during the blackout. I guess we know who to thank for giving us friday off.

  9. bug in image viewing? on Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners! · · Score: 1

    so how come the first image, you can hit previous to get to the last image, but from the last image, you can't hit next to get to the first image?

  10. Re:I use a reward system on How Do You Get Work Done? · · Score: 1

    The reward system really works. I had this problem for 3 years, then found the best reward of all, spending time with that someone special. It worked really well for one semester, then some stuff happenned and now I'm drifting back to where I was when I started college. So really, you need to find this great big reward that you can't get by daydreaming, playing games, watching anime, etc... And as long you can balance the time spent on the reward and the time spent working, you're good to go.

    If you think about it, the deadline the next day is a reward. The reward is that the time you spent not working on the assignment doesn't get wasted because they don't take your assignemnt becasue it's late. Really, you need a bigger reward or another reward with an earlier 'deadline.'

  11. SML/NJ on What About Functional Languages? · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen of functional programming, I think it's really kick ass! At CMU, there's a course that teaches SML/NJ and some of the stuff you can do with it is really cool. I think it's pretty slow, but the fact that you can write a function that returns a function saves you a lot of time. It's often the case that if you write something that compiles, it'll work the first time and everytime. Other cool stuff in SML/NJ: easy to create new datatypes, all ifs require elses, and you can nest comments (unlike java). Continuations are confusing as hell, but overall I'd say functional programming is pretty useful if you don't care about speed and just need to get stuff done.
