  1. Re:Young men, tinkering in garages, changed the wo on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1
    You're brave men to deal in such absolutes.

    Only the Sith deal in absolutes! ;-)
  2. Wrong. on Java 1.5.0 Now Officially Java 5.0 · · Score: 1

    It's NOT Java 5.0, that would actually make sense.
    If you read the press release linked from the blog post, it's "Java 2 5.0".

    I wonder if 1.6 will then be "Java 2 5.0 1.6", like 1.3/1.4 was "Java 2 1.3/1.4"... :P

  3. GNU Stow on Slackware 10.0 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Congratulations, you've reinvented the wheel. :)

  4. Re:"Not 'gay' Jon, 'aristocratic'." on Lauren Weinstein: If MTV Calls, Hang Up · · Score: 1

    Screw RV, I've got the episode in MPEG, if you're interested. :)

  5. Re:Apple rips off UK customers on iPod Mini Sells Out · · Score: 1

    > why doesn't Slashdot reproduce the "pound" symbol, even when I use an HTML entity for it?

    Because slashdot is run by morons who think 7-bit ASCII should be enough for everyone, apparently...

  6. Re:Then Don't Forget on Google Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    Bloody Vikings!

  7. Re:Backing up is like voting on Reviving A Dead Hard Drive The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    "By PanteraSoft" it said on that page, and on www.panterasoft.com they seem to have a newer version of what I'll assume is the same program: "HDD Health v2.0"

  8. Re:Screenshot. on Bitstream/Gnome Release Vera Font Family · · Score: 1

    Yep, JPEGs of screenshots look like ass, and the file size is bigger too. :)

  9. Re:In the late 90's... on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    It's CmdrTaco, of course. :)

  10. Re:Modified URL format on Slashdot over IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work in Opera 7 either.

  11. Re:Thank goodness that didn't let me know on Opera 7.0 Security Holes ... Fixed · · Score: 1

    Join the mailing list and you'll get an e-mail when there's a new version out.

  12. Re:Nissan vs. Nissan on Slashback: Dilemma, Privacy, Chess · · Score: 1

    I remember Datsuns in Finland too in the early 80s...

  13. Re:Who's still around from the "early" days? on Slashdot Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    Ahem. :)

  15. Tarkin on Xiph.org Releases Theora Alpha One · · Score: 1

    Well, Tarkin is a next generation, experimental codec. When it will be ready is anyone's guess... Theora should be out next year.

  16. Xiph's reply on New MP3 License Terms Demand $0.75 Per Decoder · · Score: 5, Funny

    The guys over at Xiph.org have posted a reply, in the form of a highly sarcastic open letter to Thompson. :)

  17. Re:A design choice, not a bug on 1985 Usenet About Y2k · · Score: 1

    Umm... I'd like to see you fit the number 365 into a byte. ;)

  18. Mouse gestures on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 1

    Instead of Alt-Shift-Click, hold down the right mouse button over the link and move the mouse downwards. Gestures rule. :)

  19. Re:What about Opera? on Mozilla 0.9.9 Released · · Score: 1

    6.0 has been out for ages, and 6.01 is the current version.

  20. Re:All together now! on World's Longest Slinky · · Score: 1

    Log - from Blammo!

  21. Re:Fiber is unlikely on Wiring A New House? · · Score: 1
  22. Bug fixes! on Mozilla 0.9.6 Released · · Score: 1

    More important than the new features to me is that Opera 6.0beta1 is MUCH more stable than 5.12 was. 6.0 final is gonna rock... :)

  23. Actually... on Quicktime In Linux · · Score: 1

    ...Sorenson doesn't have to release source, they just have to give the xanim coder permission to write a closed source implementation, but they're refusing to even do that.

    (See this page.)

  24. Re: Other nice free books on Linux Device Drivers, 2nd ed. Released Under GNU FDL · · Score: 1

    And if you want to learn to code in C++ or Java, you should definitely check out the "Thinking in" series at www.BruceEckel.com. I have bought both Thinking in C++ and Thinking in Java after first having browsed through the PDFs.

  25. Re:is there a pocketPC emulator? on PalmOS Emulation On PocketPC · · Score: 1

    I believe the readme said that they had fixed that problem. It's been about a month since I tested the tools though, so I won't swear that that's correct. :)
