  1. Solution on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    Get a girlfriend and make out during the commercials...

    Oh wait, never mind...

  2. Re:Google just sucks on Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated] · · Score: 1

    I tried Picsearch.com and entered 'tits', 'boobs', 'pussy' and 'creampie'..

    I was sadly unimpressed...

  3. Re:Microsoft recommending Linux Beowolf cluster? on Supercomputing: Raw Power vs. Massive Storage · · Score: 4, Informative

    By rewriting existing scientific programs, they say, researchers will be able to get powerful computing from inexpensive clusters of personal computers that are running the free Linux software operating system

    That's pretty clearly mentioning Linux.

  4. Re:Interesting twist of fate... on SCO vs Linux.. Continued · · Score: 1

    Did anyone bother to look and see that those servers don't provide the service (Unreal stats) that they once did any more?

  5. Read the FAQ... on Microsoft's Reaction to OSS Adoption · · Score: 2, Informative

    Questions about annotation and authenticity are covered in the faq here.

    Don't know how valid the answers are, but there's something to look at...

  6. Re:If they'd produce good content... on CEO of RIAA Speaks at P2P Conference · · Score: 1

    Exactly. That's why it's my right not to buy it. That's my 'power' as a consumer...

  7. Re:If they'd produce good content... on CEO of RIAA Speaks at P2P Conference · · Score: 1

    Yes, I own about 450 cds. I've bought very few produced in the last couple of years, though. I choose not to buy cds that I won't enjoy.

    It's not about not buying cds at all, it's about not buying cds that I don't enjoy, primarily cds produced in the last couple of years....

    btw, I've also started listening to NPR when I'm driving around in my car.

    My point was that music production has gone down hill. What was yours?

  8. If they'd produce good content... on CEO of RIAA Speaks at P2P Conference · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If the music industry would focus on producing an entire cd's worth of good music, I'd be much happier to buy it. In these days of image before talent, it's easy to see why the public doesn't feel like spending money on a portion of a cd that they will enjoy rather than a rich listening experience that they'd call 'a good cd all in all'....

  9. Re:Can anyone recommend an Exchange replacement? on Open Source Software in a Windows Environment? · · Score: 1

    Exchange consumes all available system ram by default then deallocatess it as the OS, or apps need it. In versions before Exchange 2000, you could set a limit on how much ram Exchange would use.

  10. Double Standards on Florida Surveillance Cameras Claim a Victim · · Score: 1

    Here is an earlier story that says that it is illegal to film police misconduct.

    Now what we have is the police recording a person doing nothing wrong and released it to The St. Petersburg Times. From the article "The Times later sold the photo to U.S. News and World Report."

    So, the press made money off of an innocent man, without his permission, in a deal that was enabled by the police.

    What's wrong with that?

  11. Re:What about B/W printers? on LCD Display Questions - Longevity and Monochrome? · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, it just comes with a 21" crt monitor on the Sun UltraSparc that drives it... No LCD Screen... Don't know what kind of printer you're talking about, but the dt6180 doesn't come with a LCD....

  12. Re:What about B/W printers? on LCD Display Questions - Longevity and Monochrome? · · Score: 3

    How cheap would a B/W printer be?

    I see your point, but it depends on what type of printing you do. I work with black and white "laser" printers that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (I don't really know how much, you'd have to talk to Xerox about the price, the bean counters could tell you though). What, that much? Well yea, but they rip and print 180 pages a minute. They are variable data printing monsters, but if you've got several million b&w unique pages to print, that's what you need.... It's all about finding the right piece of equipment for the job.

  13. What about recycling it? MOX Fuel? on Building a Plutonium Memorial · · Score: 1

    Why not recycle it? You can learn about the process Here From the web page: "Used nuclear fuel can then either be disposed of as waste or recycled. By separating the three percent of waste from the usable uranium and plutonium, 97 percent of nuclear fuel can be recycled."

  14. Talk about bias... on US DOJ Says Jackson Not Biased · · Score: 1

    I'd hope for more from a news site... Slashdot seems to be pretty biased on this issue. So Microsoft = biased, Slashdot = biased, all things Microsoft/Linux related biased = bad... Hmmmm, where do we go from here?

  15. Well, it worked didn't it? on Fred Moody Says Linux Worst Operating System Ever · · Score: 1

    Yea, Linux sucks, Windows Sucks, all OSs suck, who cares. The article sent many Slashdotters in a mad frenzy to their web site. Just like when someone says that Windows sucks, all the windows people run to that site. Slashdot gains too, all of us weenies rushing in here to make a comment that really doesn't matter get more banners flashed in front of us....

    It's a game of mind control and you lost.

  16. Re:Independent Confirmation on The Next Generation of ILOVEYOU:The Porn Worm · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Slashdot, but I saw this one about 6-9 months ago.... This is not new news...

  17. Ummm, Sounds like Microsoft... on It's Official: Red Hat Buys Cygnus · · Score: 0

    Sounds like RedHat is following in the footsteps of Microsoft. Let's start buying small companies up to make ourselves bigger.... It'll be an interesting trend to follow...

  18. It's Dead... on Salon Writes on The Troubles with "Trek" · · Score: 0

    Treak is dead... No New stuff.. Just the same old stuff... Dead.. Dead... Dead....

  19. Who Cares?? on What Happened to Oracle's $1 Million Server Challenge? · · Score: 3

    "Oracle's TPC-D benchmarks were achieved running Oracle8i release 8.1.5.2 on a single Sun Enterprise 10000 server using 9.81 Tb of disk storage."

    Big Buisness is great, but there are plenty of companies out there that can't/aren't going to have 1 Tb Database... Ever.... Let alone a server with 9.81 Tb of Disk Storage.....
