  1. Re:Economical effects of slashdotting on Community Sets Up Their Own DSL · · Score: 1

    The I-Paq posted on slashdot under its owner's username and linked to itself. The large community of thousands of members began surfing to the handheld and within the hour, the poor thing was dead.

    Is there any truth to this? Can you post a link?

  2. Re:errrrr NFS? on Bernstein's NFS analyzed by Lenstra and Shamir · · Score: 2

    Heh. People get surprised when they hear that great coders also happen to be great mathematicians or physicists ;-)

  3. Re:One more reason... on Win32/Linux Cross-Platform Virus · · Score: 1

    On modern systems, you can barely hear your disk humming. Trust me.

  4. Regarding FreeNIC [offtopic] on United Linux is Here · · Score: 1

    How about you also tell people how to reach that .ntwrk domain? Your sig is pretty useless by itself.

  5. Re:30's lingo is bang up. on 1936 Perspective on Television · · Score: 1

    Not the Netherlands, but the US city called Holland.

  6. Re:Didn't we do this one already? on Microsoft And The GPL/LGPL · · Score: 1

    Yeah, goddamn repeats.

  7. Re:Best quote on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 2

    ZZ will exit vim saving the open file, if it has been modified. If it hasn't, it won't even touch it. If you're going to argue over the number of keystrokes, my guess is that you've just lost your argument, sir.

  8. Re:You aren't making sense on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is not an audio CD. It cannot bear the logo that all standard, red-book-following CDs do. You may call it anything but an audio CD.

  9. Re:not quite on Slashback: Blender, Pictures, Servitude · · Score: 3, Informative
    I believe it is a decoy. Running nmap, you'll get this:

    Host www.wehavethewayout.com (130.94.214.143) appears to be up ... good.
    Initiating SYN Stealth Scan against www.wehavethewayout.com (130.94.214.143)

  10. Re:US Space Program on China Launches Third Unmanned Space Capsule · · Score: 1

    I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff because I don't care; I'm not American. Sorry for the confusion... Anyway.

  11. Re:It means we better get going on SDI. on China Launches Third Unmanned Space Capsule · · Score: 1

    I believe YHBT, sir.

  12. Re:US Space Program on China Launches Third Unmanned Space Capsule · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    This 1960's line of thinking of yours is so goddamn naive. Last I heard, the States were going thru a time of recession, and that hardly facilitates space exploration.

  13. Re:Glad to hear it. on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    Feel free.

    The obfuscation is automatically done by slashdot, by the way, you loser. If you create an account -- oops, I think you have one and just posted anonymously because you're a coward -- and look at the user options, you'll see you can have slashdot obfuscate your e-mail automatically. Anyway, you're pathetic.

  14. Re:Good. RIP. on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    You're using an analogy that is inaccurate; while in crime you need to be judged to see what you deserve for a penalty (or not), in spam, there's just it: spam. If your server is open, there could be a massive ongoing spamming occuring right now (think "open relay server" with "vast amounts of bandwidth" and "motivated spammer"), which would, comparing with a real-life 'crime scenario', be considered a crime like hijacking -- if/when you arrest the criminal, you're gonna put him in jail until the trial.

  15. Re:Glad to hear it. on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    I've never seen this happen, so I must assume that you're incorrect.

  16. Hm... on North Pole is Leaving Canada · · Score: 2

    I just wonder what makes people think that the pole is special enough so that they want to conceive their children there. I mean, would they think their fluids would be at their best, or the magnetism would only attract good genes?

  17. Re:Glad to hear it. on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    You're only blocked if the SMTP server you use is listed as an open relay, not if your IP is in the same range of one of them.

  18. Re:Good. RIP. on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 2

    Fortunately, they still exist, and the rest of us that hate spam will keep using it. If you feel frustrated by it, the solution is as simple as fixing your mail server. Period.

    Should read masochist, of course. :-)

  21. Gah on To The Pain · · Score: 1

    Ridiculous! If you're a masochism, at least do it with style, man.

  22. Re:AIM isn't P2P? on Greene's Grammy Speech Debunked · · Score: 2

    You're saying apples, and he's saying bananas. You probably know that most of the rare stuff that you look for on P2P applications isn't found with your friends, because it is rare. Plus, if you only download and upload to your friends, you'll have a pretty small database, opposed to the giant database that Napster carried at it's peak.

  23. Re:invisible case, invisible pictures on The Incredible Invisible Case · · Score: 1

    Even though I don't know if they can/are willing to do that, your idea is great.

  24. Re:Heres the pictures on The Incredible Invisible Case · · Score: 1

    They're pretty much gone.

  25. Re:Problem with CSI on The Rise of CSI · · Score: 2

    I have to agree. As much as I like CSI -- and, in fact, I like it a lot -- sometimes it just feels like they're pushing the science thing to the viewers. After a while, it tires me to hear they repeat after the millionth time that they only believe in pure science :-)

    But after all, it's a pretty innovative show, and people who haven't seen it yet should definetely check it out someday.
