  1. Re:The only question. on Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers · · Score: 1

    So that leaves Sunday for me?

  2. Re:In Other news on Reuters: 80% of Chinese Computers Virus Infected · · Score: 1

    Which means that 20% isn't!

  3. Re:Yay China! on China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip" · · Score: 1
  4. Re:LEARN TO SPELL! on Bite My Shiney PC-Metal Game · · Score: 1

    No, no, no.. that should be shiney metal ass!

  5. Re:The news tab... on Google Does the News · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, I prefer the Bork, bork, bork! At least that ermm.. kinda makes sense..

  6. Re:Ooo, irony on Google Does the News · · Score: 1

    Well, first of all, that's bad style: for(;;) loops are (marginally) quicker and syntaxically cleaner. Secondly, it's an infinite recursive loop, not a repeating one.

  7. Re:"Supported" systems on NetBSD 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    That's strange, I prefer a nice NetBSD install over a nice linux install. Much more reliable, has solid NFS code, and is generally more stable and doesn't suffer from odd glitches I've seen using linux on my main workstation. My other workstation, a laptop, runs NetBSD (only IrDA doesn't work), with a nice X interface, a couple of mice, and KDE and whatnot.

    Although I must agree: I'm odd. I choose BSD license over GPL. I choose NetBSD over linux. I choose innovation by a stable collection of hardcore developers over strange coders from all over the globe trying to get their code into an overhyped OS.

  8. Re:Useful beyond its goals on German Government Commissions KDE Groupware System · · Score: 1

    I agree, adhering to standards is totally unnecessary!

  9. Re:Did you hear that? on German Government Commissions KDE Groupware System · · Score: 1

    No, no, no! You should buy stock in VIM!

  10. Re:Bogus on Power Your AMD Via Tesla Coils · · Score: 1

    No, but a CPU is supposed to make fewer errors when geting higher voltage, even though usually it's just like 0.1V more..

  11. Re:Don't get yourselves overheated here on Europe Net Users Now Outnumber US/Canada · · Score: 1

    That's actually a good thing. Java sucks. All who like it should be burnt. All who teach it should be burnt, after receiving a good whipping.

    Any decent language has pointers. Except maybe Perl, but that's it.

  12. Re:Thank god for ogg! on New MP3 License Terms Demand $0.75 Per Decoder · · Score: 1

    Well, I did own them, but then I gave the CDs to charity, because I had my legal MP3 copy.. *coughs*

  13. Re:Its not just in software development . . . . on Why are Businesses Willing to Spend More for Software? · · Score: 1

    He'd make a plan and he'd follow through, that's what Brian Boitano'd do!

  14. Re:The floppy is dead, long live 3.5" media on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    What I'd REALLY like to see, is some kind of device that would have banks for EEP-ROM, that you could click in, a bit like a removable memory bank really.. well, in fact just that. easily expandable, really fast (depending on the connection).

    Well, actually, you could just have a HDD in a tray. Everybody (well, almost) already has IDE, they require no drivers as such. All one would need would be an ISO standard for the tray format, so it would be freely interchangeable. Sure, not shock resistant, but they can hold up to about 200GB.

    Or maybe it's just too late, after a hot day and can't think straight. Oh well.

  15. Re:BOOT DISK on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    Funny.. When I got my CD-RW driver I read a few sentances of the HOWTO, installed xcdroast and cdrecord, and ofcourse turned IDE-SCSI emulation on, and got it up and running in like 30 mins.. Does rewritables without problem.. Except it doens't like 90min CD-Rs..

    But then again, maybe I can actually read a HOWTO.

  16. Re:A Paranoid Person's Nightmare... on Spy Fly · · Score: 2, Funny

    Opens up a market for magnetic flyswatters though.

  17. Re:Laptop? on Flip-Pad Voyager: Dual-screen Laptop · · Score: 1

    Not if you're got a SPARCstation.. those monitors are really quite heavy, I couldn't lift it alone, and I'm not that weak, I would estimate it at about 80 kg :)

  18. WOOHOOO.. on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 1

    It's about time that the moon got a base. It just boggles my mind why NASA never did that, it's so much cheaper to launch something from the moon. I'm glad at least the Chinese have some vision (I think).

    So where can I write up for my apparment on the moon?

  19. The miracles of tv. on G4: The Pong Channel? · · Score: 1

    Fianlly something worth watching!

  20. Re:in 2 weeks... on SuSE 8.0 Now Shipping · · Score: 1

    SuSE policy is (or at least used to be) to only release ISOs of releases that are about one or 2 versions behind, so you can download a 6.4 ISO or 7.0.. You have to be careful though, because there is a Live Evaluation and an evaluation, the former being only able to boot of CD-ROM, the latter being a toned version of just 1 CD.. So if you want a 8.0 ISO then you might have to wait a few months..

  21. yawn.. on Open Meta Tools Make It Big · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Another fine day for the /. trolls

  22. GPL on GPL's Strength · · Score: 1

    It's a good think to know that it's actually being succesfully enforced, and how micro$oft is once again proven to be wrong.

  23. Re:Modern comp required to beat human in chess? on 1770 Mechanical Chess Player Inspired Babbage · · Score: 1

    Amen to that my brother! Although I don't think I could even defeat a simple casio calculator at chess (depending how good the algorithm is ofcourse)

  24. Re:Marriage on Slashback: IEEE, Liquid, Swings · · Score: 1

    since when does this site feature "news for nerds" or "stuff that matters"?

  25. Re:CmdrTaco on imdb? on Revolution OS · · Score: 1

    So why has he even been in "Screen Savers, The"? There may be hope for my acting career!
