  1. ACME products on Rental Car + GPS = Speeding Ticket · · Score: 3

    Well, I really like their rapid shipping.


  2. Too bad on Rental Car + GPS = Speeding Ticket · · Score: 1

    shrug

    Guess I'll have goto National instead of ACME next time I need to rent


  3. You may have already won! on Gnome Hackers Sorting Out Differences RE:2.0 · · Score: 1

    A "I-fed-the-trolls-and-all-I-got-was-this-lousy-shi rt" Tee shirt!


  4. ApplixWare on The Linux Desktop Obituary · · Score: 2

    I just got Applixware 5 in the mail yesterday. It's on sale pretty much everywhere for $49.95 and I must say, it is a welcome replacment for StarOffice.


  5. Not really, on Sketch Quake Renderer · · Score: 1

    Back then, MTV actually played videos. So I'm sure anyone who tuned during that era caught it.


  6. ComboKeys on Are Unix GUIs All Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Not like in Windows and linux where I need an CTRL+Q to quit

    Damn, and all this time I've been using ALT+F4 (to quit) without any extra bending.

    Key bindings, like touch-typing, are a learned skill. Different people will find certain keys akward to press, while others think it's "efficient" or "quick".


  7. Bulletin Board on High Tech Medical Clinics? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, I'd be a bit wary about a BB service.

    All it would take is one patient mis-quoting you (or another MD) and it's lawsuit time. You would probably have to have some _major_ disclaimers or some kind of click-agreement (not to use the BB in place of a real doctors advice).


  8. Parse error? on Freshmeat II · · Score: 1

    You still forgot the semicolon at the end of the printf line. And did you mean #include ?


  9. Katz on Antitrust · · Score: 1

    Well, Katz is a fscking moron. AND this story wasn't filtered by /.'s No Katz preference -- so I'm going with NURV. Even if just to be a jerk

    IANAMR (I am not a movie reviewer)


  10. Re:Windows users on Slackware 7.2 [Not] Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah I was thinking along those lines, but what TLA could I use? NFS is almost close enough...

    Cheers


  11. Rude Slack? on Slackware 7.2 [Not] Released · · Score: 1

    The evidence?


  12. Re:Windows users on Slackware 7.2 [Not] Released · · Score: 1

    True, multi-homed Windows machine can be a bit unruly. I've been lazy (about my sig) and I'm not that punny -- NT == Empty.


    What I find interesting is how long I was lurking on /. before I got an account. Being a Windows user [at the time], I really never wanted to say anything to make wave. Now, things are a bit more out-of-control here -- it fun for everyone!


  13. Windows users on Slackware 7.2 [Not] Released · · Score: 1

    As a long time Windows user, I find that most Linux fans tend to think most Window's users are not technically inclined. This is rather annoying , to me, as I have found most things computer wise are related in many ways.

    When I started playing with Linux (2.5-3 years ago) Slack was my first distro. Some guy I worked with gave my a CD and just said "try this".... A day or so later, I was up on the network (in Linux) and using lynx, emacs, vi et al.

    Don't sell people short based on the OS they are currently using... Eveyone can learn a new trick or two


  14. Sure... on All Digital TVs To Include Copy Restrictions · · Score: 1

    And one month later, a rich, bored 13 year-old with a a hex editor, soldering iron and an EPROM programmer is going to release a "patch"

  15. Don't get bent on Linux 2.4 Wins 4th Place ... in Vaporware · · Score: 1

    YOU know wired is just using the word 'Linux' because they know it get plenty of links-to and clicks. Goddamn promotioinal stunt.

  16. Linux From scratch on Interview w/Slackware Developer David Cantrell · · Score: 1

    Worth every hour of effort to a newbie.
    LFS


  17. Stoked on Tenchi on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    Its surfer/skater slang for "excited about" see also "amped"

  18. Re:Steed on id Software Announces Development Of Doom III · · Score: 1

    Pardon my ignorance

    Perhaps we can start over; will "Designer" be sufficent?
    ;)

  19. Steed on id Software Announces Development Of Doom III · · Score: 1

    Steed did models and animations -- not software development.

  20. Re:Source Code? on New, More Destructive Love Bug Variant · · Score: 1

    Here's a link, I haven't verified this to be the original code though...

  21. 30,000 APPEALED... on Metallica Remains Silent · · Score: 1

    Metallica's motion to ban the users from Napster

  22. Re:Well... on Napster Bans Metallica Fans · · Score: 1

    I'd like to truly believe this too.

    The sad fact is, the more things like these (Metallica vs Napster, MPAA vs DeCSS) happen, the more regulation big bu$ine$$ will bribe^H^H^H^H^H 'lobby' for (e.g. DMCA). Pandora's box can be opened (and it has) but you can bet the current pseudo-laissez-faire status will bend to piles of cash.

  23. figures... on 50-Dollar Hackable "WebSurfer" · · Score: 2

    ...already 23 (and counting) of 'em on ebay

    *grin*

  24. One link? on 80 Proof Quickies · · Score: 1

    Why is 'educatedescort' the only link slashdotted?
    Interesting.


  25. Thank you... on Suck On Skins And UI · · Score: 3

    Now that's one of the funniest things I've read on slashdot.
    Too bad I cannot moderate.
