    "hertz"? What is a wordful of hertz? :)

  2. Re:Hello, editors??! on Google Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    Your's slashdotted already. Use the real google mirror.

  3. Yes on Gentoo Reviewed · · Score: 1

    There is an rpm-like front-end to the portage database called sys-apps/epm. Unfortunately this is not installed by default.

    Furthermore there is the app-admin/gentoolkit that includes the qpkg tool. This also very useful for searching the package database (say colored output)...

    Press link and then the backbutton to trigger script.
    Run Minesweeper (c:/winnt/system32/calc.exe Win2000 pro)

  5. Voice Control on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Regardless of the intelligence of any computer in the future, I wouldn't consider voice interaction a useful feature. As for me, I can type much faster than I speak, and talking eight hours straight to my computer would not decrease my work-load in any way.
    I think this voice control thingy stems from this old, rather male, dream in which one commands his secretary to do all kind of nasty things. I mean, who really needs two free hands? :)

    And even better is using <LINUXSRCDIR>/scripts/patch-kernel!
    Just change into your patch directory and issue:

    # <LINUXSRCDIR>/scripts/patch-kernel <LINUXSRCDIR>
