  1. Re:It's always a pity... on Martin Schulze Steps Down As SPI Vice President · · Score: 1

    Well said.

    I left a dot com company because I couldn't put in the hours to the job and a girlfriend at the same time.

    I believe that as a result of leaving, they brought the hours per day down from 14-16 to a compulsory max of eight. Too late for me, but it helped my friends.

  2. Full disclosure is one thing... on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 1

    but did he have to go so far to show that Debian's security update site isn't colocated?

    ObSPRef: No she wasn't. She was Robert Smith.

  4. Re:Quick Launch Bar on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 1

    I don't care what operating system I use at work, but I really really want a Quick Lunch Bar.

  5. Not sure which way to go here... on Visa vs. evisa.com In Vegas · · Score: 1

    OK. A company has made a trademark out of, and spent millions on a common usage word to make that word make people think of their company when they use it. WTF am I thinking they have a case? It's because they have been successful at it. eVisa should not lose this, but the grounds on which they win the case are going to be oh, so technical, that I'm sure a win is not going to feel that good

  7. Re:Science and humor on Science Askew · · Score: 1

    Yup. I remember Mr Bulhak was writing it in about '92-'93. He clogged the comp sci lab's printer with page after page of post-modern crap the night before an assignment was due.

    Ah well. Good to see it is still kicking around :)

  8. Re:Labeling proposal on EFF Urges Support for Rep. Boucher's DMCRA · · Score: 0

    Hello Mr 437. Lowest I've seen since the little argument 2 months ago about who has the lowest Slashdot ID.

    Damn, I always get offtopiced for stuff like this, so I better say:

    Rather than fighting to repeal the DMCA, Boucher's angle is realistic from the point of view that he respects the need for laws to limit piracy, and at the same time respects the need for laws to protect fair use. It's the best sounding potential legislation I've heard for a while on Slashdot, regardless of the potential legal quagmire.

    Damn, I'll probably get redundant now, too.

  9. Re:I like the old stuff... on Classic Computer Magazine Archive · · Score: 1

    Hehe. Either the story was an insert-your-computer-here ad, or the computer was an Atari 800. I remember reading it. I think they said they just had to replace aome keys. Could be in Antic.

It is not only the friggin answer, it's the fuckin question!!!

  13. Re:Not a new concept? on Pipeline Mass Transit? · · Score: 2

    If only we described ourselves with our true colours, no-one would bother with 'ol NostrilDams.

    The whites would be kinda-pinkish-to-tan, and the reds would be sort-of-olive-to-brown.

    While we're at it, there are dozens of republics in the world (including Afghanistan, and about ten or fifteen other Stans) :)

  14. PC jr... on IBM Wants CPU Time To Be A Metered Utility · · Score: 2

    Since you are trolling, don't forget that other countries use and threaten to use nasty weapons.

  19. Anyone remember The Onion article? on Proposed Next-Generation Space Station · · Score: 2

    I can't find it anywhere, but there was a story about the construction of a Russian module for the International Space Station that was being made out of wood to cut costs. Their budget was about 4 dollars, but some homeless guy pissed inside it, and they had to resand the floorboards.

  22. Re:Daunting? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 2

    An analogy, by definition, is going to break down eventually, but fair point (I'm using XP at the moment)

    For example, an analogy is like a car :)

  23. Re:Daunting? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 3, Insightful

  25. Hehe on Building Online Communities · · Score: 2

    It was a couple of years ago, but IIRC, Mr Katz did a loooong three parter on online communities. Or was it about geeks being left out of society? Geez. Here's a good example of why you shouldn't be too wordy. I can't friggin remember a thing he wrote about. And I read it. Take heed Louis Nowra!
