  1. Limiting Movement? on TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags · · Score: 1

    Given the increasingly annoying airport security and the rising costs of gasoline, could it be there is a government conspiracy to keep people from moving around the country?

    To what end, I'm not sure...

  2. Re:Bold (Crazy) Prediction on Vint Cerf Preps Interplanetary Internet Protocol · · Score: 1

    Actually, we don't. Fleming's IPv8 only has 43 bits of address space, far less then IPv6's 128 bits.

  3. Re:Just a note on Via Will Join The 64-Bit Fray · · Score: 1

    You are aware the 1Ghz Nehemiah cores arn't designed to be fanless, right?

  4. Re:What does it mean "no adapter required"? on Smaller Networked Sony "PStwo" Officially Announced · · Score: 0

    The original PS2 didn't have ethernet built-in, Sony eventually sold an adapter that sticks on the back. Kindof like how the Dreamcast came with the modem, and you could buy the ethernet adapter to swap in.

  5. Re:Whats the wall paper? on Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels · · Score: 1

    I don't know the exact wallpaper, by the girl is DangerGirl. From a comic book or some such. Search around, you'll probably find tons of references.

  6. Re:Not too popular here.. on The Swiss Army Knife of USB Drives · · Score: 1

    That's probably why Victorinox decided to make the Air Travel version of the device, which has no knife or file, it's just the USB memory thing, a pen, and an LED light.

  7. Re:clerks part 3 on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 1

    That's the flying car short, it's on the new Clerks 10th anniversary edition DVD.

  8. Re:Time travel on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 1

    It's fairly common for magazines to put out the June edition in May.

  9. Re:Pizza! Pizza!! Pizza!!! on Disney's Disposable DVDs Deemed Duds · · Score: 1

    I've seen pizza places that deliver rental movies with the pizza, then pick the movies up the next morning from a locked bag you put on your front door. Seemed like a perfectly good system to me.

  10. Re:another site killed by /. on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    Hmm... if there was something like Bit Torrent built into the browser, then it could query a cache-ref server that would point the browser to another browser that has the document in cache. The only problem is you'd need to tell the cache-ref server what is in your cache, which could be a privacy violation.

  11. Re:New "Shimmer" on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    It's a floorwax *and* a dessert topping!

  12. Re:PC-on-a-PCI-card for Macs on Virtual PC 6 Review · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know if they still make them, but for the longest time you could buy such a card. Orange Micro used to make such a line of card, known as OrangePC. They wern't terribly popular. I know for a while you could buy PowerMacs with PC cards preinstalled, usually leading to a 'PC' after the model number, such as the 7300/180 PC that has a 166Mhz Pentium in addition to it's 180Mhz PowerPC chip.

    I have no idea if anyone makes products like this for modern Macs.

  13. Re:Sharp contrast on Dell Handhelds Released · · Score: 1

    Heck, I'd rather buy a Zaurus simply because it ships with Linux on it. Where I come from, companies only listent to the almighty dollar, and if I can use my dollar vote to vote for an open OS, than I would do so over any Microsoft or Palm offering.

  14. Re:Tablet PCs are a dumb idea... on New Tablet PCs With A Linux Option · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know I find it much easier to carry my laptop in one hand and type on it's keyboard with the other than it is to carry a tablet in one hand and just write on it's screen with the other.

    When will they figure that people just arn't comfortable with the whole notepad/pen idea?

  15. Re:People seem to get really excited about unique on PumpkinPC v1.0 Makes Its Hallowe'en Debut · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatly, that guy is dead. Or are you suggesting a necroPC?

  16. Re:Wasnt DIVX the limited play DVD from circuit ci on DivX DVD Players Arrive · · Score: 1

    You are completely correct. For some god-awful reason, after DivX (the terrible DVD competitor) died, DivX (the MPEG4 codec people) decided to keep the name.

  17. Re:Our LUG debated this... on FSF Issues GNU/Linux Name FAQ · · Score: 1

    Two points:

    1) Who wants to say their going to a GLUG meeting?

    2) How many fratboys will show up at GLUG meetings looking for booze?

    or would it have to be GNU/LUG? ah well...

  18. Re:Does Sun have an idea? on Sun To Sell Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    Apparently you've never checked out the SunBlade workstations. They sell for around $1000.

  19. Re:CNET == Old News ;) on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 2

    Stealing news a couple of days late? Isn't that the mission statement of Slashdot?

  20. Re:I can read on RMS Condemns "UnitedLinux" per-seat License · · Score: 1

    "require the freedoms"? Is forced freedom still really freedom?

  21. Re:Post the Source, SONY ... on Sony Annouces Linux PS2 Port for US · · Score: 1

    However, the source for some of the PS2 specific drivers was not included in the Japanese release. They were only their as binary modules. You can still compile a new kernel, but you can't play with the source of those modules.

    They were stuff like the joystick, memory card, and audio stuff, if I remember correctly.

  22. Re:Just move the pages on Dolby Tells NetBSD Project: Don't Decode AC3 · · Score: 1

    They pointed out the link www.jp.netbsd.org. The file already is abroad, I'm guessing, on the Japanese NetBSD mirror.

  23. Slashdot has a memory problem... on Kick Your Input Device · · Score: 2

    Something in this article probably has the answer to using this with that OS you all seem to like. I know I've seen wiring diagrams to hook Playstation controllers up to your parallel port (see? it is good for something) as well as N64, SNES, NES, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Atari, etc. controllers. There was also a driver for Windows to support them all, and a joystick driver for Linux that also supported them. Too bad I can't remember where...

  24. Re:Lone Gunmen is Fantastic! on Lone Gunmen Get the Axe From Fox · · Score: 1
    well, based on what I've seen of this week's episode of Dark Angel, I've got three words to describe it's success:
    "Young Horny Chick"

  25. Maybe it's just me... on Microsoft's DNS Down · · Score: 1

    ...but it seemed like Andover's DNS servers were unreachable for a while yesterday, making Slashdot inaccessible... (Is it wise to have your two official name servers on the same subnet at the same location?)
