  1. Re:Thins aren't looking up for Hans. on Novell Moves Away From ReiserFS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nothing to do with reiserfs, but that is a stunningly crappy article. Nina "kicked him out" ? What sort of language is that? Also, weird non sequiturs in the article make it difficult to determine what was imporant and what wasn't - "also included was a receipt for a syphon pump". Maybe he had a snickers bar wrapper in his pocket too? Ooooh!

    Lastly, this just shows how you SHOULDNT buy stuff on credit cards or ATM cards, they pulled his records and found what books he bought.

  2. Ending submissions with an idiotic question on Novell Moves Away From ReiserFS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Editors, if you're the ones doing it, please stop. If submitters are doing it, please edit their submissions. We don't need this Roland Piquipaille/Ric Romero style of foolishness, i.e. "Blah blah has happened to company FOO, what do you all think?" Posting it for discussion on Slashdot IMPLIES you're going to get a million different viewpoints, none of which are really important to the submitter. You'll get the viewpoints anyway, you don't need to "prompt" us for them.

  3. 10 Gig Ethernet on Emulex Highlights HBA Performance with Opterons · · Score: 1

    Why run HBAs when you can run iSCSI on 10 Gig Ethernet?

  4. Sheeple gave up their liberties long ago on Airport To Tag Passengers With RFID · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People began screaming "Make us feel safer!" to the gubmint and airlines shortly after 9/11. The vast majority of people I know will welcome this, they'll sit there smugly thinking they're safe, indeed, they'll be safe in their cattle car all the way to the Final Destination.

  5. Re:Move the vector processor on-board? on Impressive GPU Numbers From Folding@Home · · Score: 1

    Vector processors with a standardized instruction set = any modern GPU + OpenGL.

  6. -1, Who Cares on This Rare Friday the 13th · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This isn't funny, nor is it news. WTF?

  7. IBM right all along, or obvious? on Impressive GPU Numbers From Folding@Home · · Score: 2, Funny

    Custom app written to run on hardware specifically designed to run apps like it, outperforming general purpose CPUs? Newsflash from Ric Romero!!1!

  8. Irrelevant and Irrelevanter on Neil Gaiman Talks To John Dvorak · · Score: 1

    Dvorak + Anyone = still worthless.

  9. Alt-Tab? on Virtual Desktops on Windows? · · Score: 1

    So rather than page through your individual applications, you want to page through 'desktops' showing your applications already maximized?

    Virtual desktops are so early 90s.

  10. Web Nazi on Web Censorship on the University Campus? · · Score: 1

    No pr0n for you! Graduate, hippy.

  11. tabbed web MDI model on Google "Office" Released · · Score: 1

    While Taco's complaint may be valid, its this sort of techno-elitism which often impedes progress, or at least consumer take-up of a product. While people are bickering about the intricacies of a tabbed web MDI model, Joe Public will stay away.

  12. Re:BILLIONS and billions on Billions of Planets In Milky Way? · · Score: 1

    Any geek worth his decoder ring knows this.

  13. Re:security related certifications on What Certifications are Valuable in Today's IT? · · Score: 1

    Most CISSP's I've encountered have been buzzword-spouting chimps. They're all about process and procedure, and making someone else do any actual work. Their chief function is to tell you why whatever you're doing is "insecure", at which point they get an attaboy from Management, and you get to double your workload.

    Thank you, Carl.

    "Cosmos" was a kickass show.

  15. Uranus is now Urectum, remember? on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: 1

    Geesh, you young whippersnappers. Everyone knows its called Urectum now.

  16. Re:Ubuntu has already won on Mandriva 2007 Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    No, Ubuntu is the fag of the desktop wars.

    19620 m/s^2 * 7200 seconds = 141264000 m/sec

    Somehow I don't think that this is right.

    Try BeOS then, its so threaded and slick, you'll think you're on a multicore machine, even with a single core.

  21. Re:Inconvenient without a flash shoe on GeoTagger Adds Positioning Info to Snapshots · · Score: 1

    Which is why I said "most". If you do the math, there's more $150 cameras out there in the hands of the great unwashed, than there are pro cameras.

  22. Inconvenient without a flash shoe on GeoTagger Adds Positioning Info to Snapshots · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Um, most handheld digital cameras dont have a flash shoe, so this is sort of irrelevant.

  23. Re:This is a good thing. on IBM's Interest in Red Flag Linux · · Score: 1

    The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. I believe our herring-scented idol wrote that.

    This is Slashdot, rehashed news from other news rehashers, sloppy seconds.
