  1. Not all distros... on Security Hole in Morpheus · · Score: 1

    "The bug was called wu-ftpd, and it was packaged with all of your favorite distributions of linux, or unix for that matter."

    Except for Slackware. Another good move, Pat!

  2. Re:The *what* Ultraviolet Explorer? on 3.5 Ton Satellite to Crash Back to Earth · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter, the fools are a decade too late anyway.

  3. Link as wide as my ass... on Slashback: Cheats, Entries, Loki · · Score: 1

    So, how long till the damn links are fixed?

  4. Re:Pazuzues should have written... on DesqView/X: Night of the Living Dead Codebases · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't read /. much anymore...

  5. Re:This is ridiculous on DesqView/X: Night of the Living Dead Codebases · · Score: 1

    Just found a link, in case you've never seen DeskMate, this dude claims it's his favorite gui.

  6. Re:This is ridiculous on DesqView/X: Night of the Living Dead Codebases · · Score: 2, Informative

    Of course, I could be mistaken as well, since I never used Desqview...

    But are you mistaking Tandy's DeskMate for Desqview? DeskMate was Tandy's whole desktop environment, the whole yellow-on-blue-by-default thing that let you type/draw/etc. Basically kind of an office suite that ran on a 286, it was pretty cool at the time.

  7. Re:Wine Mainstream on Wired Talks Wine · · Score: 1

    That's so damn true.. very recently I finally got Wine to launch reliably and play HL: CS (turns out that for a year or two I just had one bad TTF that fucked everything to hell).

    As a result, I haven't had to boot into windows in over a week, and I'm not deprived of my CounterStrike!

  8. Re:vegetariens or what?? on Intel's Answer to AMD's Hammer - Yamhill · · Score: 1

    You want beef, you buy an Athlon.

  9. Electrically Sensitive? on California's "Wireless-Free" Zone · · Score: 5, Funny

    I must be electrically sensitive too, because every time I put a fork on the wall socket I also get a "Burning pain" and "Electric shocks".

  10. Re:Heavily modified on Buy John Romero's Ferrari On EBay · · Score: 2

    And we all know what FIAT stands for... Fix It Again, Tony.

  11. Re:Step One: on Is Hyperchip Hype? · · Score: 1

    Any chance these robots are powered by HyperChips?

  12. Re:Be Afraid... on AOL in Negotiations to Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    Err... right, Corel-POS-Linux. You ever actually use that thing? It sucked.

  13. Re:AOL buys *all* the cool stuff. on AOL in Negotiations to Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    That's right, all your UID are belong to us.

  14. Re:compiling X and KDE on Review of Sorcerer GNU Linux · · Score: 2

    Holy shit, on a "P-III 1mhz", it only took about 4 hours??

    I wonder if I can break a minute on my XP 1600+!

    As far as looks go, XP is nothing special. OS X, on the other hand....

  20. Re:Taco's XP comment on P4 2.2GHz and D845BG Review · · Score: 2

    "intel rabid boot bios"

    Where did you get this bios? Where, where, tell me! Damnit, tell me, or I'll bite you!

  21. Re:Clarion Auto PC on Complete PC instead of a Car Stereo · · Score: 2

    Damn right it was expensive.

    1600 bucks for the damn thing.

  22. Re:Bad for the economy on X-Box Emulated (Not) · · Score: 1

    BUT supposedly M$ loses about 100 bucks for every bought console. Of course, xboxes are not built when you order, they're mass produced beforehand. So, if you do'nt buy the xbox at all, M$ loses how much? $100 + retail cost of xbox ($300?).

  23. Re:Does this actually work? on X-Box Emulated (Not) · · Score: 1

    Of course, all this means diddly squat until you try it.

  24. Re:no ROMS on X-Box Emulated (Not) · · Score: 1

    It uses dual-layered DVDs, so it's about 8-9 GB max.

  25. Re:Hmmm... on X-Box Emulated (Not) · · Score: 2

    But you forget, the OS can be pirated very easily.
