  1. Re:TLD? Whuzzat?? on Master Of Your Domain · · Score: 1

    TLD is a Top Level Domain, such as

  4. Re:mixed feelings on Who Bought Linux.Net? · · Score: 1

    I guess its ok. But for each domain that is sold one could come up with a similar justification.

    I guess I'm just jealous because I didn't have the cashish to buy all these great domains back in '93 when i thought about it. :)

  5. mixed feelings on Who Bought Linux.Net? · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure whether this is good or bad. One one hand, I'm don;t like people registering domains that may be useful later and then not using then for anything. That's just mean. On the other hand, this is a free market economy, and people should be able to"buy low, sell high." So, I'm relly not sure where I stand.

  6. SysReqs? on Updated Slash & Server 51 · · Score: 3

    Just curious, maybe I didn't read far enough into the previous article or the code itself, but what are the system requirments for Slash (hardward and software) I know it requires mod_perl and an SQL server, but what else?

  8. Lifelong TI User on Graphing Calculators for Geeks? · · Score: 1

    I've always used TI's since 7th grade (I'm a senior now). My first one was an 81, with its sweet 3k of mem. Then, I got an 82, because of its sweet link port. Freshman year of HS, I got an 86 (better games). Thag got stolen (bastards!) so I got another. A few weeks ago, The screen shattered (internally, there is no external damge), and TI refuses to fix it. Said it would cost be $60 for a new screen. So what do I do, but get an 89 off eBay. Though, I think I'll stay with the 89 untill they come out with a cell fone/palm vii/ti 92 combo.

  9. blah on "I Would Strongly Advocate Full Disclosure" · · Score: 2

    Free speech means ABSOLUTE free speech. However, my rights end where yours begin. So, I guess censorship is good, when it is implemented properly. In other words it works, in theory. But then again, so does communism (in theory). So there ya go.

  13. saved me mucho dinero. on Giving Project Gutenberg Recognition · · Score: 1

    Proj. Gutenberg has saved me much money on books. When I need one for school, or just to read, I grab it and download to my Palm. (And when i get bored, I can always switch right over to Tetris or Hardball). Thanks Project Gutenberg!

    anyone know an approximate price? Or is this gonna be a "screw college...i'm getting this" kind of thing?

  15. The Book was cool, BUT on User Friendly: The Book · · Score: 1

    I was at my local Borders on Friday night (great geek hangout, btw) and saw the book promenently displayed along with several distros of linux and many books, etc. So, of course, me not wanting poor Illiad to starve, bought it for my collection, even though I've read every strip there is. I really liked it; it captured a lot of historical moments (the Crud Puppy, the Star Wars parody, and Miranda.). BUT, It didn't have a lot of the funniest, in my opinion, moments. I think we should have voted on our favorite strips and Illiad should have put the best ones in the book. Also, I was showing it around school this morning, and a lot of people who don't read UF didn't get it, so maybe it should have had the first several weeks or so.

    Just my .02

  17. Here's An Idea on NSI to require immediate payment for some · · Score: 2

    Network Solutions is doing a mediocre job at best. Let's get rid of them and the other registrars and have:

    SLASHDOT SOLUTIONS, INC

    Jeff could run the domain registration, and Rob could steal other people's domains that he wants. "Sorry, the domain you've had for 10 years is being repossessed for non-payment" just my .03 (inflation)

  18. Airport Yes, Color No on New PowerBook G3 & the iBook · · Score: 1

    I LOVE the airport....finally looks like we can get a reliable wireless ethernet. And the fact that it supports multiple computers...equally cool. Heh....Quake party on the deck :).

    But these colors.....ugh....enough....i would be embarrassed to pull an orange laptop out at a metting. And the shape resembles one of those "kiddie" computers that plays word games and stuff.

    Please, apple. Give us Airport in a grey or black stardard shape laptop.
