  1. Re:Time to take the men out of the loop ... on US Presidential Nuclear Codes 'Lost For Months' · · Score: 1

    Hey kid.... CPE 1704 TKS
    A little birdy gave it to me.

  2. Re:An idea on Can Wikipedia Ever Make the Grade? · · Score: 1

    Here's an idea to make Wikipedia more reliable: show the time of the last edit for pages, or even better, for sections of pages.

    Have you looked at the footer of every single article, or what?

  3. Re:Some online typing tests on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    TypingTest.com, Huck Finn:

    Gross Speed: 122 WPM
    Errors: 0 Words
    Net Speed: 122 WPM
    Accuracy: 100%

  4. Re:Unfamilliarity on Mozilla Foundation Seeking Switch Success Stories · · Score: 1

    There are no public computer labs at Florida State University, perhaps with the exception of the first floor of the Strozier Library, since you can pretty much just walk in and use the machines there. I can't think of any public labs, so is this what you are referring to? Just curious, because I never really use those machines.

    ACNS computer labs, which are not open to the public, have IE and Netscape Navigator on the PCs, and IE and Netscape 7 (6?) on the Mac OS 9 machines, IIRC.

    The Music Library only has Mozilla. Unfortunately, it's a pretty old nightly. But it works alright.

  5. Re:George Carlin asked on Urban Challenge · · Score: 1

    Actually George Carlin asked "Since when did the word 'urban' become synonymous with the word 'black'"

  6. Re:suck it! on What Counts as Music and Why? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but it's still subjective

  7. Re:suck it! on What Counts as Music and Why? · · Score: 2

    Ever hear of atonal music?

  8. Re:Music on What Counts as Music and Why? · · Score: 1

    Whose definition is that?

    "Harmony" as it is today has existed for a few hundred years at most.

    And "evocative" seems subjective to me, at best...

  9. Re:Good for them on Schools to Avoid: University of Florida · · Score: 1

    UF doesn't require freshmen to live on campus.

    Only freshmen that begin at the university during a summer term must live on campus to be eligible for housing in the fall.

  10. Re:Uh, sure it is on Schools to Avoid: University of Florida · · Score: 1

    Choosing UF for its proximity to beaches is one of the silliest things I've ever heard.

    Florida's public state university system is comprised of 10 universities and a college and the MAJORITY of them are closer to any beach than UF. FSU, FAMU, UWF, UNF, USF, NCF, FAU, FIU are all within a relatively close proximity to FL's beaches.

    UF happens to be one of the most established and respected universities around. Except for FSU.

    ObNole: I go to FSU.

  11. Re:we must destroy x10 on Cheap Video Sniffing · · Score: 2, Funny

    You could at least credit KOMPRESSOR for that.

  12. slackware IRC on Slackware 7.1 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    Live discussion is available, as always, at our lil empty unofficial irc.slackware.net, in #slackware. Have fun.

  13. Re:Pinochle / pneumo..coniosis on Microsoft Office On OSX, *BSD, *nix? · · Score: 1

    I kinda find pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis easier to spell than a lot of other words considering it's pretty much just a big compound word. Oh well.

  14. Re:As Long as It's Not Played off the Disc on Myst - In Realtime? · · Score: 1

    The disc changing wasn't THAT much of a problem. It pretty much only occurred when you visited a new island. And it usually takes more than 10 seconds to go through everything on an island.

  15. There already is a Backslash on Slashback: Imagination, Redistribution, Stiction · · Score: 1

    the admin page would be backslash.

  16. Notation (OT) on A Christmas Chess Puzzle · · Score: 1

    How is the notation "wack"? It seems kind of normal to me...

  17. Yes, they do mark you wrong. Heard Alex say so. on Linux on Jeopardy · · Score: 1

    IIRC, you cannot say more than one (it might be two) syllable wrong.
    Since Linux would be (I hope, heh) two syllables.. saying them both wrong would be pretty hard, but it doesn't look like they'd be able to mark you wrong for it.

  18. Slackware IRC Discussion on Slackware 7.0 (Stable) Released · · Score: 2

    Slackware.Net, an unofficial Slackware site (with Slackware Linux news and information, along with other features) is currently running an IRC server at irc.slackware.net. Slackware discussion is in #Slackware. Feel free to come stop by and chat.

  19. Re:Domain Etiquette - Family Names: MAILBANK on What Alternative Domain Registrants are out There? · · Score: 1

    Do a whois lookup on just about any proper name. Check .com, .net, and .org. MAILBANK.com has designed half of their business on selling email addresses and URL redirectors with proper names.

  20. "Re:a different perspective..." or "TOC vs. OSCAR" on Messaging Software Wars · · Score: 1

    AOL has released the TOC client/server protocol, but not the OSCAR protocol which AOL's Windows client uses. The TOC and OSCAR clients access two different servers. If AOL really wanted to play games with Microsoft easily, they could just kill off any support for TOC clients and stick with their unreleased OSCAR protocl. Of course, that would also kill off support for TiK, and Tac, and GAIM, and whatever other TOC clients there are.

  21. UMAX SCSI scanners rock. on Ask Slashdot: Can Linux use Parallel Port Scanners? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to agree with the speed factor. I use
    a UMAX Astra 1220P parallel port scanner, and to
    scan a single photo (normal size) can take up to
    and over 2-3 minutes on bad days... I'd take a
    serial over this anyday.
