  1. Re:Was the link necessary? on The Ultimate Star Trek Collection · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think you are just way too sensitive in general. Don't like movies like Jarhead? Then you wouldn't like how grunts in the military act, because that is just the way we are. I have not run into one infantry Marine, present or former, that did not like what they did there.

  2. Re:Sort of... on Sun President Says PCs Are Relics · · Score: 1

    Marines' "every man a rifleman" ethos

    In practice, it's closer to "every man a janitor."

  3. NATALIE PORTMAN NAKED AND PETRIFIED on IGN Interviews Natalie Portman · · Score: 4, Funny

    What, no one remembers this line?

  4. KOK on Can GNU Ever Be Unix? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    FIRST KOK!?!?

  5. Hmm on Personal Submarine Cruises SF Bay · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Graham Hawkes?'
    Graham: Yes?
    "This is Osama Bin Laden"
    Graham: Oh, hello Osama! My fellow countrymen sure hate you, but we don't judge anyone out here in California. You were just trying to express your opinions and -
    Osama: Whatever Graham, how much for a few of those small submarines? I feel the need to 'express my opinion' again.

  6. Re:It would not have been better for the ANTI DMCA on ElcomSoft Verdict: Not Guilty · · Score: 1

    lol, your post reminds me of braveheart

    YOU MAY TAKE OUR SOFTWARE
    BUT YOU'll NEVER TAKE
    OUR FREEDOM

    or is it the other way around..hmm

  7. Re:It is a shame but... on 30 Years Since Last Man on the Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    So long as children watch television shows with characters that proclaim 'ME WANT COOKIE', I very much doubt anything will change.

  8. Re:I just wonder... on MS Proposes Disclosing Windows Source To India · · Score: 1

    I also wonder if MS slightly changes parts of their code everytime they 'let someone look' or give it out. Say just a slight restructuring of certain functions and classes, so that they still work, but in the event it ever got out they'd know who leaked it.

  9. Re:Oh yeah? on nVidia Posts First Linux Graphics Drivers for Opteron · · Score: 3, Funny

    You had sex with a mere dual Athlon 2400+ workstation?

  10. Re:Here are some related links... on What MorphOS Is All About · · Score: 2

    Wow, it's been two years? I couldn't tell by all the 'hot grits' and 'natalie portman' trolls still going around.

    And sorry, I like the KOK. Cry into my bitch tits.

  11. Re:Here are some related links... on What MorphOS Is All About · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I wanna hab sheksh wit yuh.

  12. Re:Prison?? on Spammer Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    Apparently you didn't read anything beyond the first line. Take a look at this, then read the article: "He apparently hijacked a mail server, and used it to send millions of forged email to make it come from IBM domains." There's a difference between sending spam out from your own computer and forging it to make it look like someone else did it. In response to some of your analogies: I could go to jail if I stole someone elses car and got caught speeding. I could go to jail by jay-walking if I was running away with someone elses purse.

  13. That is NOT true on Is Extinction Only Temporary? · · Score: 2

    We all came from Adam and Eve, and despite all the inbreeding, look how good we turned out!

  14. Other resources worth checking out on Playing Games Behind IP Masquerade? · · Score: 4

    Masq Applications (which doesn't appear to be up at the moment) has an index of all known workarounds and fixes to using software and games behind an ipmasq box. I've had a tough time getting everything working right until I checked it out, so it's definately worth a visit.

  15. Re:My Benchmarks on 3D Benchmarks Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Depends on the size of the map, the number of players, and how fast I am moving the mouse. Standing still and slowly looking around on q3tourney3 will get me around 75, but jerking my mouse around quickly on q3dm17 makes my fps drop down.

  16. Re:My Benchmarks on 3D Benchmarks Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'm able to get around 10-20 fps on small maps, but on the ones I play with most (and at the high mouse sens I use) I'm under 10. As for what you heard from nVidia, I hope it's true, but it's probably more hot air. My next 3d card will be from a company who already has decent support under X, and not one that says they will sometime in the future.

  17. Re:My Benchmarks on 3D Benchmarks Under Linux · · Score: 1

    I thought that at first too. However, us tnt users are still stuck using the pitiful 3.3.3 server nvidia released (the later 3.3.5 server caused more crashes.) Now it looks like nvidia isn't even going to take advantage of XFree 4's DRI, so to anyone thinking of buying a tnt for 3d under Linux....think again.

  18. My Benchmarks on 3D Benchmarks Under Linux · · Score: 2

    50-75 fps with my tnt2 under Win98/Quake3
    4 fps with my tnt2 under X/Quake3

    We're almost there guys!
    blech.

  19. Just nuke their channels on IRCnet Servers Strike To Protest DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out what types of channels these people hang out on, so shut down the most popular takeover group hangouts and forbid the use of the nicks of the people in there for about a week, and eventually they will go somewhere else or not even bother.

  20. Re: Easy to fix those problems (on linux) on Motorola Introduces Home Cable Modem/Router · · Score: 2

    I don't know about the *BSD's, but on linux I used oidentd to handle ident requests behind a masqueraded connection.

    Oh, and as far as setting up a server on one of the boxes behind my masq box, I just use ipmasqadm. It suports port forwarding and the like. For instance, I run a q3 and ftp server on my main linux machine behind my masq box. Hope this helps.

  21. Well, duh. on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 2

    Of _course_ they are experiencing an increase of CD sales despite MP3. But consider what is fashionable in music nowadays: Boy Bands and teeny boppers. It has been said before, but fanatical teenaged girls spend more than any other group when it comes to music and movies. Because of the current music trends, there are more sales and higher prices. Fortunately for the music industry, the same group (teenaged girls) that is making all of these purchases know little or nothing about MP3.

    However, when these teeny boppers go out of style (as we all know they will), expect the music industry to get hit hard.

  22. Somewhat related news on Caldera Prices Its IPO · · Score: 2

    Due to Caldera's distant relationship with Novell, I thought it would be worthwhile to point out that they are rele asing NDS and GroupWise for Linux. I think something like this could hype up the value of Caldera and RedHat stocks, and might offer these companies some way to actually make money.

  23. Re:First story? on Slashdot's 10,000th Story · · Score: 2

    Well the first indexed story is here. Perhaps the first real story is gone forever.

  24. Europe is pissed off on 'Echelon Study' Released by European Parliament · · Score: 5

    And it seems that France in particular has a taste for the fantastic. Microsoft is the NSA's largest customer, and IBM was forced into using DOS by the government?

    France allegedly has its own Echelon, and no doubt that the UK does also. So if they're doing it themselves, why are they so pissed at the US?

  25. Can I have my $100 now? on Lightning Crashes, An Old Freedom Dies (Updated) · · Score: 1

    Though I didn't search for chocolate chip cookies, plenty of porn sites popped up when I searched for 'sticky buns'! That's close enough, right?
