  1. Re:Old news... on Google Launches Mobile Mail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Set to 100.

    If I click on a label, I get 100 messages. If I type label: into the search box, I get 20 (and can't seem to change that)

  2. Re:Old news... on Google Launches Mobile Mail · · Score: 1

    100 messages? Whenever I do a search, it shows me only 20...

    Am I the only one who's never heard of this term?

  5. Re:I like to plaster the root window... on Time Saving Linux Desktop Tips? · · Score: 1

    watch tail -n 10 /var/log/apache/server_log

  6. Juxtaposition? on Firefox 3D Canvas FPS Engine · · Score: 5, Funny

    [In case it's slashdotted, the walkthrough looks like a standard FPS, with an M4 being held].

    Then we have the last line of text:

    This game is being developed but doesn't have much direction at this time, to make a suggestion email me. The gun is copyright by FarCry but is only here temporarily until I model the weapon set. Sydney Wedding Video and DVD

    Wedding Video? Crazy Aussies...

  7. Re:SysV IPC is obsolete on More Effective Use of Shared Memory on Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, that should be a safe choice, because no sane person would use 0x1234, therefore this key is still unused. :-)
    I'm not so sure about this -- I'd rather a conflict with a sane person than with the insane one...

  9. Re:Call me crazy, but... on /dev/null NetHack Tournament 2005 Starts Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree 100%. While I agree that a simple interface is better, the tiles convey more information, as no symbol is used for more than 1 item.

  11. Too much information on Tux Can Even Milk Cows! · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thanks for sharing.

  12. angle answer on Your Favorite Math/Logic Riddles? · · Score: 2, Informative

    What is the degree of the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand when it is 2:15?
    22.5 degrees.

    Yes, you can do it iteratively until inifinity, but the minute hand is at 90 degrees off 12, and the hour hand is at 60 for 2, plus 30/4 for the :14, = 67.5. The difference is 22.5

  13. Re:Dijkstra says... on Protothreads and Other Wicked C Tricks · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dijkstra is not $DEITY. There is a difference between a competent programmer and a brilliant programmer. Sometimes one has to be clever in order to get the job done.

    Actually, since the running of $export DEITY=Dijkstra, he is now.

  16. Re:Something doesn't add up here... on Vanilla Kernel 2.6 Stability vs 2.4? · · Score: 1

    What's the problem? I run LFS on a server, specifically because it's rock solid. The actual compilation is no big deal, nor is modifying the bootloader, but why should I, if I can get information first?

    The car analogy is actually very good -- should I use premium gas, given the number of horror stories I've heard about it? Many tweakers also like to do their research first... after all, why make your own mistakes if you can learn from others'.

  17. From 2003 on Halo Movie Slated For 2007 · · Score: 1

    That joke is pretty old, too... stop pointing it out.

  19. Re:I'm sorry, on Ogg Vorbis Share Reaches 12.3% on P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    First of all, it was a joke.

    Nevertheless, I think what I wrote stands. After all, Ogg has very little control over the total share of Music, but they do have control over their portion. In other words, if it's going to be 1.39482% of the total, better they should have a larger slice of a smaller segment than a smaller slice of a larger segment.

  20. Re:I'm sorry, on Ogg Vorbis Share Reaches 12.3% on P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    But 12.3% of 11.34% is not something to be proud of.

    Well, it's better than 11.34% of 12.3%...

  21. Re:Another mysterious media on Mysterious 20-Year-Old Analog Media? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's a very high quality CD. It's played with a light bulb machine.

  22. Israeli ADSL on Telcos - How Do Developed Countries Compare? · · Score: 1

    Here, for 1.5M/128K, we pay about $13 for the line rental, and about another $10 for the ISP. Not too bad, except that there is NO way to get a faster upload for less than $50/mo. None.

  24. Re:morse code over skype on Morse Coders Beat SMSers · · Score: 2, Informative

    In "spoken" morse, dots are pronounced as DIT (DI- if it's not the final sound in a word), and dashes as DAH.

    This (almost) mimics the way morse would actually sound.

  25. Re:Wow.. on Kazakhstan's Spaceship Junkyard · · Score: 1

    "And if it killed someone, they could just sell the titanium, and it would be OK, right?"

    I don't know... how much titanium is there in a human body?


    I suppose that depends on how hard of an impact it was...
