  1. Re:offtopic?!? come on! on Quad G4 Boards · · Score: 1

    We should all know by now that anything not related to linux on slashdot is offtopic...

  2. Re:Sure but.. on Intervideo LinDVD 'To Be Released' · · Score: 1

    Ok, so I have a SoundBlaster Live, with digital speakers, and a Voodoo3 3500 with TV output, excellent DVD options, but will they be supported within the next year in linux? I doubt it. This is why I also have Windows.

  3. Prime numbers on Grok Goldbach, Grab Gold · · Score: 1

    If that is true, it could be used for increasingly finding largest known prime numbers. Just take the largest known prime, multiply by two, add two, the resultant even number, being the sum of two primes, one of which must be greater than the previously largest known. Start subtracting previously known primes from that, then test the other of the pair for being prime. I wonder if that is how they do it. Of course crunching those numbers to test would take a hefty computer (distributed.net?).

  4. Re:Whee.... on FreeBSD 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    When I did my run through OpenBSD, I used /usr/ports to install enlightenment. After what I believe was about an hour of download (its not on this ftp site, try the next one) and compiling, it never did work right, without a SEGV. Being a Debian user, used to apt, I saw this as a step down, but if you prefer it, more power to you.

  5. what.sucks on Care to Register Your Own TLD? · · Score: 3

    TLDs.with.more.than.three.letters.sucks

  6. How many hours did you work this week? on How many hours did you work this week? · · Score: 2

    None. But my resume is on my web site.

  7. Intel AND Microsoft on Linus, Transmeta, Proprietary Code and Metcalfe · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else catch that spiffy Windows 2000 ad on that web page? Look at the ads on the page to see where he gets the inspiration for his article.

  8. the Mascot! on Debian FreeBSD Distro? · · Score: 1

    Let us not forget this! What could it be? A penguin with horns and a pitchfork? A daemon in a tux? Or just both swirled together?
