  1. Re:THIS TROLL IS A DOS ATTACK AGAINST SLASHDOT on Virginia House Passes UCITA · · Score: 1

    No, the troll attack has been warned about for several days... that this would be "troll tuesday." No MS conspiracy at work today.

  2. Re:who cares? (pissed off grumpy rant) on Wireless Broadband Getting Closer · · Score: 1

    Sorry about that. My in-laws were like you television-wise until they got a satellite dish. But they are worse off with the modem... their local phone service is so old and slow that they can't even connect at 56k! Can you imagine?

  3. Benefits of Newton's third law on Exploring the Asteroids · · Score: 1

    That's how it went in the book - one shot and the evidence disappears.

  4. Gibson-esque on Exploring the Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Did you read William Gibson's Count Zero? Put a railgun on a high-altitude ballon, aim it straight down, boom and no radiation or fallout.

  5. Re:Offtopic - slashdot login on Exploring the Asteroids · · Score: 1

    You can't... you could always get rid of the cookie and start over as a new user, and I guess your old user id would go away someday.

  6. Lots of free windows software on JBuilder Foundation is Free - and for Linux · · Score: 1

    What about all the bug fixes you can download from microsoft? Don't those qualify? Oh right, I forgot about the "fully-functional" part.

  7. Makes me wonder about the minimum specification on JBuilder Foundation is Free - and for Linux · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I hadn't heard of a 200MHz PII and thought I didn't know my Intels. If they made that error, I wonder if they mean a "classic" Pentium. Requiring a PII and 128MB memory seems like a big horsepower requirement just to run an IDE. If someone has to have an IDE, then Sun's no-cost downloadable Java Workshop IDE runs on less machine. I'll stick with my text editor and command line - works equally well from my old 486 to my PIII.

  8. Re:Another algorithms text recommendation on Mastering Algorithms with Perl · · Score: 1
    What a relief, a good textbook. The CLR text is required for my algorithms course next term. I'm so sick of awful CS textbooks and hated the thought of investing in another expensive book I'd never use again. Thanks for the recommendation.

    P.S. Have you been able to get enough time with a second fork to keep from starving?
