    Before filing Chapter 11, send a line to Slashdot!

    "Chapter 11" is a US filing, this was a Canadian company.

  6. No more? on BIOS' Days Are Numbered · · Score: 2, Funny


    No more bios? Might as well cancel my cable, Biography was one of the only good shoes on A&E.

  7. Fear.. on Build Your Own Submarine · · Score: 4, Funny


    If the Germans figure out how to attach their potato bazookas to their home made subs we're all screwed.

  8. Re:WinNT development cycle. on Inside The Development of Windows NT · · Score: 1


    wouldn't it be great if it turned out to be the case and they were forced to publish all their source

    That would never happen. Money buys justice, look at OJ Simpson the murderer. MS' lawyers would stall the process for years.

  9. Great idea. on Internet-Created Free Audio Dramas? · · Score: 0, Troll


    Internet radio dramas are a great idea. How else will the visually impaired get to enjoy goatse.cx?

    Virtual worms taking advantage of virtual exploits via virtual bugs on virtual servers.

  11. Tax on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 4, Funny


    So there I was; 15 years old, naive and about to go on my first date where sex was involved. I went to the pharmacy and asked the man for condoms. "Here you go, that will be 5 dollars plus 70 cents for the tax." the pharmacist said. I replied "Tacks? So that's how those things are held on."

    Some alias' are as follows: MELTzURISGOD, H4X0Rd00d [...]

    I'm sure the zillionaires on Wall Street would buy their stocks from someone named "H4X0rd00d". Man, people are dumb.

  15. Re:Developer Count. on Inside The Development of Windows NT · · Score: 1


    ~333 lines of code per day. Not quite so intimidating

    Actually it is. Each person would have to work with whomever is responsible for whatever other 333 lines of daily code their code communicates with. What if some of that code wasn't scheduled fore review for another 3 weeks?

    More developers != better development.

  16. 50+ million lines of code? on Inside The Development of Windows NT · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Remember a while back when Bill mandated a whole month of nothing but bug fixes? I find it highly unlikely that their people were able to go through 1.667 million lines of code per day (assuming a 30 day work month. I'm generous)..

  17. WinNT development cycle. on Inside The Development of Windows NT · · Score: 5, Funny


    0) CVS checkout the latest net stuff from freebsd.org
    1) Look at code and scratch head until "A-ha!"; enlightenment.
    2) Merge code into Windows source

    Sig: I can't understand why people who hate Linux and Apple read slashdot.

    Microsoft pays them to. It's called astroturfing or sandbagging

  22. Revenge.. on Why Nerds Are Unpopular · · Score: 0

    .. Ah high school, that bastion of testosterone-fueled idiocy I left in the early 80s.

    Things To Do To Jocks

    Dump paint stripper on their car, hit at least two panels.

    SuperGlue in a gym locker lock does wonders when he is in the shower.

    Let Jocko copy your homework with wrong answers then correct before handing in.

    Pull a Columbine.

    Jokes aside, most of the "cool Jocks" from my school are now working shitty jobs, I even asked one for help at a local supermarket where he was putting out produce. Nice advancement in 19 years, losers.
