  1. Leet on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 5, Funny


    With a nuclear powered notebook on my lap I could save a load of money on future child support payments.

  2. Mmm.. on Remote Feed: 72-Mile 802.11b Link · · Score: 2


    I want a house along the signal path so I can enjoy roast $BIRD as they fall onto my picnic table.

  3. Re:Not politically correct.. on Film Gimp · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'll assume you're one of the "Special People" I was mentioning in my previous post. Now get mommy to wipe the drool from your chin, I think you just crapped your pants.

    fucking 'tard lovers.

  4. Not politically correct.. on Film Gimp · · Score: 5, Funny


    FilmGimp? Can they not change the name to something more politically correct? ie:


    - FilmChallenged
    - FilmSpecial
    - FilmJerrysKids
    - FilmTheres"Abilitity"In"Disability"
    - FilmDroolingTard

    Hmm.. no, on second thought "FilmDroolingTard" is out.

  5. Visions... on Stan Lee Sues Marvel Comics · · Score: 5, Funny


    Peering into my crystal ball...

    StanLee: You owe me $40 million.
    Marvel:Well, we calculated that 30 million copies of Spiderman were downloaded via peer-to-peer programs...
    StanLee:..and..?
    Marvel: ..at $20 per DVD that would have been bought, we lost $600 million. So with the $400 million we earned on the movie release we have a net loss of $200 million. You owe us 10%, or $20 million.

  6. Re:j0 m0mma on Jedi Archives In Dublin Library? · · Score: 5, Funny


    good job slashdotting the picture of the Long Room! Ireland's getting SLAMMED !!

    Now that Ireland has no more net access, perhaps they could do something different, such as go for drinks or have a large fight at a soccer game.

  7. Re:Escape on Bind 4 and 8 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    It was sarcasm silly :)

  8. Re:Who uses bind4 anymore department? on Bind 4 and 8 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 5, Informative

    This just hit one of the OpenBSD mail lists from Todd Miller re: the bind exploit:

    Based on the ISS and CERT info it looks like OpenBSD's named is vulnerable. However, since named is run chrooted on OpenBSD this shouldn't be such a big deal. When bind 4.9.11 comes out we will spin a patch.

    Note that we do not appear to have the resolver buffer overflow described in http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.htm l
    (looks like we fixed it in 1997).

  9. Re:Escape on Bind 4 and 8 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1


    I was thinking of installing some of DJB's software but then I realized I'd need to go buy another hard drive for /var as he likes his stuff to live there..


    only half joking.

  10. Cheap! on Oracle's GPL Linux Firewire Clustering · · Score: 5, Informative


    The Firewire cards needed to build a cluster can cost as little as 10% as much as the required FiberChannel hardware

    Not to mention the FiberChannel switch. The Brocade fiber switch we use to tie our three SGI Origins to our SAN's storage RAID was over CA$12K when we bought it.

  11. UNIX sysadmin in 24 hours.. on Teach Yourself UNIX System Administration In 24 Hours · · Score: 5, Funny


    sooo.. this is the UNIX equivent of an MCSE?

  12. Re:Encryption and compression make a lot of sense. on PKWare Zips to Growth · · Score: 2

    The poster is absolutely correct. A proper stream of encrypted data should be ~uncompressable as it should resemble truly random data.

  13. Re:Well it can *almost* play sorenson! on Mplayer Adds Sorenson v3 To the Linux Roster · · Score: 4, Funny


    Someone at mplayerhq must have pissed off a /. high-up pretty bad to garner a double slashdotting. This one for the announcement, a future one for the release.

  14. Babelfish [Engineer - Geek] on 10-TFlop Computer Built from Standard PC Parts · · Score: 3, Funny


    "We have been using the File Transfer Protocol over Gigabit Ethernet, but now we will be able to read files directly from any available disk."

    translation
    We used to use FTP over Gig-E but came up with something more L337.

  15. Re:Infrared on Secure Wireless Through Infrared Antennas · · Score: 1


    Yes, yes.. After I submitted a great D'oh! echoed in my head. Like the slow motion Nooooooo!!! as the car door slams shut and you realize your keys are in the ignition.

  16. bah on Newton's "Principia" stolen · · Score: 5, Funny


    Newton died years ago. Why not put something in the museum that's a bit more contemporary?
    Maybe some Harlequin Romances or Stephen King?

  17. Re:Infrared on Secure Wireless Through Infrared Antennas · · Score: 2


    but I can tell you it involves the transmission of RF signals through a flexible strand of material that freely conducts RF signals.

    Here in Canada we call that coaxial cable. :P

  18. Infrared, eh? on Secure Wireless Through Infrared Antennas · · Score: 3, Funny


    Great.. the boss' kid comes to the office on a weekend with a TV remote control and DoSs the LAN.

  19. Mmmm.. on SGI Introduces World's Densest Server · · Score: 2


    The US list price for a 128-processor supercomputer with 64GB of memory is $2,937,696.

    Will they accept PayPal?

  20. Re:What platform? on Browse All You Want At Work · · Score: 1


    Anyone who calls themselves an "open source granola cruncher" isn't getting laid.

    Sorry, I should have clarified.. I leave a bowl of granola on the grass. When my sheep go to eat it; sex for me!

  21. Re:What platform? on Browse All You Want At Work · · Score: 5, Funny


    the screenshots show only Windows. Is there a Linux version?

    Of course not, only Windows-lamers look at pr0n. Open source granola crunchers can get laid for real. :)

  22. screw ups.. on Browse All You Want At Work · · Score: 2, Funny


    Leaving that on a shared laptop, your boss is giving a presentation for a room of investors and with one deft flick of the wrist.. goatse.cx pops up.

    That would rock.

  23. RIAA.. on NASA Cancels Moon Hoax Book · · Score: 1


    Obviously NASA cancelled the book because we all have access to photocopiers, scanners and fax machines. Taking lessons from BMG Music I guess.

    :)

  24. Assholes. on EMI Customer Relations Tells It Like It Is · · Score: 1


    The music industry has taken the stance that we are criminals until proven innocent. They have gotten tariffs imposed on blank CDs because apparently we're using all these blanks to copy their music, not back up our data.

    Well Music Industry, call me a thief often enough and I'll adopt that role. It will be a cold day in Hell before I buy another CD from a major music publisher.

    There you go, your prophecy is self-fulfilling, go take a long, hard suck on my ass.

  25. Re:what about ultra-violet? on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 5, Funny


    Yeah, that would be smart. All over the world geeks would be getting major sunburns on their right palms. :P
