  2. Alien Sitcoms on Life on the Moons of Jupiter? · · Score: 0
    I sometimes have the feeling that we're all part of an alien sitcom, and this is just another twist of faith.

    Hmmm, the season finale should be coming up soon, the last one took place 2000 years ago in the Jerusalem area.

    If life goes there, the ratings are going to soar!

  6. Code on V2 OS · · Score: 1
    Sounds good, but could you imagine going through the source code, especially if it survives to the size of current Linux, and you are looking at it for the first time.

    Also what is the point of a faster assembler based OS if it is difficult to program for, and has barely nothing running on it?

  7. Timing on Loki to Distribute Quake III Arena · · Score: 1
    It may be too late for Christmas, but it is perfect timing for Linus Torvalds' burthday

    I wonder how many Quake III games he'll get?

  8. Last Post on Guide to Slashdot · · Score: 0
    There is the first post (R4Z3, but why is there not a last post (R4Z3?

    It seems like one of those things that should be, and unlike I57 post (R4Z3, you can regain the title and it stays for a short while

    Keep watching this article until the moment right before it is removed, and you will see my last post in all its glory!

  10. Unix on The Corporate Lame Name Game · · Score: 1
    Why is Unix called Unix if there are so many different Unixes (Or is it unixae). It should be called Multix

    PS: What is the plural of Unix?

  11. Where have all the names gone on The Corporate Lame Name Game · · Score: 4
    The Problem is that most of the good English real names are taken.
    You either have to make up a word, pull something out of another language or Norse Mythology, buy it from someone else for the price of a small country, or choose to go for a meaningless acronym.

  14. Heralds on Loki to Distribute Quake III Arena · · Score: 2
    Loki and ID Software will be the leaders of other game companies, being the first to have an awakening.
    If they do well through this, than many other games will be available.
    But if they do poorly, than it will be put back a couple of years.
    I myself want games for Linux, I am tired of just playing with linux/fs/coda/upcall.c

  15. Bundles on Loki to Distribute Quake III Arena · · Score: 2
    Ok, we have seen almost every Linux book come with a CD containing Linux and this can be understood. But to have a game come with OS is preposterous, I don't know anybody who would have an empty computer, buy the game, install the OS included and then play the game.

    How about if we just integrate Quake III and all the other games into the Linux kernel.
    Aside from having to install a new OS/Kernel for every game, it should not be a problem.
    That would be something to see. In the kernel configuration program you have choices on File Systems, hardware, and games. Recompile the kernel to include Quake and Pacman.

    Well, those are my two cents (more than enough to get Linux)

  17. Future on Interview: Debian Project Leader Tells All · · Score: 1
    The question is, if Linux becomes very popular, would it still be Linux?

    There are probably many people who would not like to see the power of Linux in the hands of "the unwashed masses" and leave.

    Will this happen?

  18. Drink Coke (they pay me to say this) on Novell CEO Attacked by Cookie Monster · · Score: 0
    This is a bunch of kazooie.
    Cookies are in the most part not entirely insecure.
    This shows how people always blaim what they don't understand so as to put blame on something, so they can't blaim themselves.

    The only way they could have lifted the cookie file is if it had too much yeast in it

  21. Irony on Live Streaming Network TV Online - in Canada · · Score: 1
    Normally you get TV through cable.
    I get internet through cable.
    I then get TV through internet at a much lower quality.
    Therefore I get TV the normal way through cable, but at a much lower quality.
    Also, this way it can never match the quality of normal TV because it is using less of the cable from further away, in a stranger way.

    Also, what is with that WebTV? Do people get internet through cable on their TVs?

  24. Re:Y1K on Medium Rare Quickies · · Score: 2
    Well, Y2K (for the ignorant this is Year 2000) is almost upon us. It has been a problem for many and we should learn from it. By this I mean the not-so-notorious Y10K problem, the now four digit years will not work in the year 10000.

    You may think that it is much to early to think about it. It is impossible that 20th century programs would be used in the year 10000, right? Just like programs from the 70's would not be used in the year 2000...

    Now do you see what I mean? We have to learn from our bidigit mistakes and make sure that 8000 years from now it will not happen again.
