    I'll sell you a blue and white G3 case (with a few extras) for 150 dollars.
    You can contact me at scrod at a r s w a r e .org if you're interested.

    I hope he keeps it up, if only to piss off more idiots like you.

    Uncappers getting shafted


    Perhaps they should've left their butt-plugs in?
  5. Re:hmmm on ATI Releases New Linux Drivers · · Score: 1
    Not being able to debug this is driving me nuts.


    Hey, all you need is gdb and objdump -d! A little x86 asm never hurt anyone!
  6. Re:Cupertino, we have a problem! on Mac OS X 10.2.2 Update Available · · Score: 1

    Wow yeah, that's a great idea! I'd be positively ecstatic if I installed a new update and suddenly found that all my binary documents came up as gibberish!

  7. Re:Uh... on Global Warming will Open Northwest Passage · · Score: 1

    In light of recent political events, the loss of Florida wouldn't necessarily be unfortunate.

  8. Re:Anyone else amazed ? on DOJ Blocks Satellite TV Merger · · Score: 1

    I just checked and it looks like this preemption of regulation applies only to antennae; I couldn't find any references to dishes.

  9. Re:There is no handshake.. it's just hoped... on Handshake via the Internet · · Score: 1

    It might just be simulated on the computer.

  10. Re:An Intel CPU does NOT mean PC hardware! on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The G4 towers, iMacs, PowerBooks, and iBooks would all look exactly the same. You'd still be buying Apple machines.

    Heh, no they wouldn't. They'd be a lot thicker, bulkier, and noisier due to the extra fans they'd need.

    Apple is able to develop these unique designs because of the efficiency of the PowerPC processors they use.
  11. Re:Too much self-credit? on DivX DVD Players Arrive · · Score: 1

    I believe you're thinking of "DivX :)".

  12. Re:lol on IBM to Release 64-Bit, 1.8GHz Processor in 2003 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    All current PowerPC processors have been 32-bit, but the PowerPC ISA has always been 64-bit. That's why a 64-bit PowerPC processor will be able to run all 32-bit PPC binaries at native speed.

  13. Re:We Shall See on Apple Shuns DRM Efforts So Far · · Score: 1
    Or, what will REALLY happen, is that some Slashdotter will hack up a DRM emulator


    Now now, we don't want to invoke that DMCA clause about subverting copyright protection technology, do we?
  14. Re:Review of iBook, by a 'Switcher' on Flirting With Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Not sure if that's the same as MS's Terminal Server Client

    It is, and it runs quite well under OS X.
  15. Re:Asthetics on Flirting With Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Thousands of people already have. Do you want to run OS X? Then get a Mac--that's all there is to it. If you're not willing to spend the money, then too fucking bad. You made the decision when you bought a PC. Now you're paying for that decision.

  16. Re:Best Feature. on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but is it possible to easily switch between tabs using the keyboard? The only way I've been able to do so is by using tab/shift tab. And frankly, that's just pathetic compared to Adium's command-left/command-right switching between tabs. If someone knows a better way to do this in Gaim, please speak up.

  17. Lathe of Heaven on Scientists Create Lullabies From Brain Waves · · Score: 1

    This sounds a heck of a lot like Ursula K. Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven.

  18. Re:I thought it was pretty cool on Yale Students Capture Asteroid On Film · · Score: 1

    Probably none. The earth is very, very big, and asteroids and satellites are very, very, very small.

  19. Re:We need more eyes on the skies on Yale Students Capture Asteroid On Film · · Score: 1

    Of course it's just as important to develop a practical means to actually deflect the asteroid away from Earth's orbit.

  20. Re:You too, can live the cracksmoke lifestyle! on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    No, we don't have Palladium. It's only a proposed standard. And it doesn't matter; Microsoft "endorsed" digital rights management techniques when they introduced the Windows Media Audio and video formats.

  21. Re:Office Shakedown on Gobe Productive To Be GPLed · · Score: 1

    Also, is it a "from scratch" rewrite of ClarisWorks, or might there be some sticky licensing issues with Apple popping up in the near future .. ?

    Who said it contained any code from ClarisWorks? All that was ever said about Gobe Productive with respect to this issue is that many of the same engineers who worked on ClarisWorks were part of the Gobe group. For them to include code from ClarisWorks would almost certainly be considered blatant theft under the terms that most software developers work. So in case it's not clear enough: you can bet your bippy there's no ClarisWorks source code in GP. ClarisWorks was a great product, but these are two wholly separate entities.
  22. Re:Well, it is new to me. on See 4-D Space With 3-D Glasses · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well slashdot should've told them sooner! I try to explain higher dimensional space to people and they just blink and say "but I thought the fourth dimension was time!"

  23. This is not new! on See 4-D Space With 3-D Glasses · · Score: 1

    This isn't new. There have been real applications and Java applets, too that have been able to do this sort of thing. I've got an old app for the classic Mac OS called "HyperSpace" that does exactly this (draw multiple 3D cross-sections of 4-D hypercubes). It's a really, really old app.
