  1. Re:DDK emulator? on S3 Graphics Fails At Delivering Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    They did the cleanup years ago, so your point is moot.

  2. DDK emulator? on S3 Graphics Fails At Delivering Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's time for someone to write a DDK emulation layer? Should be able to yank out most of it from the ReactOS project. Not perfect, but at least the binary drivers from windoze could be use as a last resort.

  3. Re:Opera of the phantom on Phantom OS, the 21st Century OS? · · Score: 1

    "If your data are in memory and not the hard drive when it quits, you'll lose your data."

    I guess you would be *really* surprised to hear about how long Linux keeps data buffered before committing it to disk...

  4. Old idea on Phantom OS, the 21st Century OS? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    SASOS's have been doing this for decades (AS/400).

  5. No worries on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 4, Funny

    No worries, we have a new line of defense - Bill Gates and his mosquitos.

  6. BS on Data-Breach Costs Rising, Study Finds · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "$6.6 million per incident"
    Well, that's what they told the insurance company.

  7. Re:My solution on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    Sorry. Was busy watching the gals.

  8. My solution on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Easy solution: This is not a paradox to begin with.

  9. Re:Wrong logo on NetBSD 5.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's increasingly not the case. openbsd has the blowfish, netbsd the stupid flag and freebsd the devil.
    When the occasional BSD lurker sees a devil, he thinks FreeBSD.

  10. Wrong logo on NetBSD 5.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Accompanying the article with the FreeBSD logo is slightly tasteless, no?

    I for one is laughing my devilish ass off.

  11. Lengthy? on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 1

    Not very lengthy, we slashdotted'em :)

  12. Animation/video on Building a Better CAPTCHA · · Score: 1

    Have the text/image animated, each frame by itself doesn't contain all the information needed to decipher the text/image.
    Interlaced CAPTCHA's is the thing!

  13. Xerox on steroids on Windows 7 Taskbar Not So Similar To OS X Dock After All · · Score: 0, Troll

    I always wondered how they turned photocopies into code.

  14. PR on RIAA Walks Away From Another "Discovery" Case · · Score: 1

    "This adds fuel to the debate over whether the RIAA has finally seen the light or is still sneaking around in the dark."

    Just another case of advanced public relations.

  15. Scary how people don't care on Electronic Medical Records, the Story So Far · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Scary thing is... they'll get away with almost anything w.r.t. privacy. Average Joe, plumber or not, doesn't seem to care much.

    I wonder why?

  16. Re:Solution on How Best To Deal With WiFi Interference? · · Score: 0

    "Isn't the practicality the whole idea behind wireless, though?"

    Yes, but the dude has interference and performance problems. So a viable solution may be wiring up.

  17. Solution on How Best To Deal With WiFi Interference? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Go back to wired, if you can. Really, you will enjoy the speed increase.

  18. Reeves?!?!? on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 0

    Yiiiihaaaa. Duuuude.

  19. Let's see on So Who's Running Apple Now? · · Score: 1

    I think they should bring in Jesus. I mean, if you want a decent reality distortion field and charisma enough to sell whatever for whatever price. I hear he plans to return any day now.

  20. Re:In other words... on Germany Legislates For Mandatory Web Filters · · Score: 0, Troll

    You being modded flamebait is proof that Slashdot is a joke on your behalf.

    Sod off.

  21. Re:In other words... on Germany Legislates For Mandatory Web Filters · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think you meant...

    MUUUWHAHAHAHAHA.

    If you're going to have an evil laughter, do it right, man!

  22. Cold beer on Networked Fridges 'Negotiate' Electricity Use · · Score: 5, Funny

    My fridge better not negotiate its way out of cold beer at 7pm.

  23. My eyes... on Comet Lulin Is Moving Closer To Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...are always naked.
    Where's this pesky eyeware shop they're talking about?

  24. huh on ASCII Art Steganography · · Score: 5, Funny

    who needs steganography when you can hide whole sites with slashdotting at least for a while...

  25. I predict... on SCO Proposes Sale of Assets To Continue Litigation · · Score: 1

    ...that there will be a lot of "IANAL, but"'s comments on this story.
