  1. Where's the link? on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Where's the link between "the computer profession" and having a degree in Comp. Sci.?

    most of the people I know (admittadly mostly men) in "the computer profession" do not have comp. sci. degrees.

    There are many paths into working in this industry, a degree in comp. sci. is only one of them. The smartest people I know do not have a degree, much less one is CS.

  2. was that letter F? on The Letter That Won US Internet Control · · Score: -1, Troll

    F is a very powerful letter, some would say more so then any other letter combined. and obviously if there was one letter that win the US control over the internet...it would be F.

  3. welcome to the internet on Why Does Beta Last So Long? · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the internet, things move slowly here, and always have...but wait until Internet 2.0 (currently in beta) then things will move really fast!

    (yea, yea, I know there is an internet2, it's a JOKE OK?!)

  4. Re:What I Do on Cross Platform, Low Powered Home Servers w/ RAID? · · Score: 1

    I have a Sun E450 (these can be gotten cheap on eBay, but you really have to find the right deal). Upped it to 2GB ram and 4x400MHz Ultra2 CPUs. It holds 20 SCSI disks, so getting a bunch in there and RAIDing them is not a problem at all.

    that is a pretty good solution..but it might not fit the submitters "low-power" constraint :P

  5. Re:Low power video? on Low Powered SOHO Server? · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you are dead set on low power then I suggest you invest in some fun ways to occupy your time, and a good stress ball, because you'll be doing a lot of waiting...

    pffft! screw that, hook a stationary bike up to a generator! then make sure to get those SpeedStep processors...one person can pedal, the other edits videos.

    "common, pedal faster! I gotta render this scene before next week!"

  6. Re:Best Way? on Best Way to Manage Geeks? · · Score: 1, Funny

    hahhahaha...I read that as feces and cattle prods!

  7. Re:I don't get the "instant-on" craze on Intel Slashes Computer Startup Times · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see this happen....not really for my desktop, but for some appliances that could be fairly cheaply built on this type of hardware.

  8. Re:Git? on Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about "Git Isn't a TLA"

  9. Re:Another reason never to use Linspire on Michael Robertson Says Root is Safe · · Score: 1

    thats the difference between a CEO and CTO.

  10. Re:All HTPC cases suck on Home Theatre PC Guide · · Score: 1

    infrared? go RF! It's soo much nicer. Why haven't they caught on more?

  11. Re:PSP as Wifi detector? on PSP Hacks and the Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Thats a pretty good idea, I mean why spend $40 when you can spend 300+?!

    (j/k)

  12. Re:The typical things Slashdot users will say: on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was replaced by a small perl script, so I have no reason to get up anymore you insensitive clod!

  13. Re:What do ya mean Horror?! on Raimi Remaking 'Evil Dead'? · · Score: 1

    ED I & II were horror films that were ended up being sorta funny...with Army of Darkness they pretty much gave up trying to be a horror, and just went with the comedy.

  14. Re:But... on Pigeons' Bandwidth Advantage Quantified · · Score: 2, Funny

    yea, and at 2.27 Mbps (Mega birds per second), that would be quite intense!

  15. Re:Non-issue on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 1

    apparently so does +1 Funny.

  16. Re:Linux implementation? on OpenBSD Meets The Cat License Sketch [updated] · · Score: 4, Informative

    check out UCARP. It's a userland implementation of CARP....enjoy!

  17. Re:Its not just what was taken... on Is it Just Me, Or Is Our Mainframe Missing? · · Score: 1

    She managed to appear a few times and didn't mention the theft once.

    maybe they just noticed that it they were missing now.....

  18. review on Intrusion Detection Systems for Gigabit Networks? · · Score: 1

    Have a look at www.nss.co.uk. They do a pretty good review of gig NIDS. I think it costs like 50USD though.

  19. Re:Rackspace on FreeBSD Kernel Leak · · Score: 2

    The cynic in me suggests they have a deal with Red Hat.

    what kind of deal would they have? Something like if Rackspace exclusively uses Redhat, then Rackspace gets free versions of Redhat Linux with full access to the source code? :P

  20. Re:Daily Planet on BBC To Ditch "Tomorrow's World" · · Score: 2

    It's probably that new girls fault. Apparently she has a degree in biology.
    I miss Jill Decan. She was great. It was nice to have her back over the Christmas break.

  21. Daily Planet on BBC To Ditch "Tomorrow's World" · · Score: 5, Informative

    Daily Planet (link) is a pretty good show. It was called @Discovery Canada, but changed a little while ago. It runs on the Discovery channel here in Canada. Read the site for more info.

  22. Re:It's a bunch of freakin jpg's on Slides Of Microsoft Anti-GPL Advocacy · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's just a bunch of jpg's on a non MS site. Just pointing out the obvious, what verification do we have these came from M$?

    did't you see the little "Microsoft" logo's on the pages?! It must be from Microsoft...

  23. Re:Why FTP? on Web Enabled Spacecraft · · Score: 2

    US export laws forbid the export of strong crypto from earth. I mean, we wouldn't want passing aliens to get a hold of the all-American Made AES! Who knows what they could do with it! It could mean the end of American civilization as we know it!

  24. Re:Isn't this two days old? on Red Hat 8.0 Released · · Score: 2

    It used to be that Slashdot would post new release info as soon as some popular package came out, sometimes before the mirrors got updated, everyone bitched. Now they wait a bit, people bitch. yeah, sure they still posted a direct link to redhat's ftp site, but at least they posted a link to where the mirrors are :)

  25. Re:Interesting move... on Microsoft foils Xbox hackers with new Config · · Score: 2

    maybe they are trying to push those people that are close to buying an XBox over the edge..."better get and buy it quick! You can't hack the new one!".

    time passes, hackers get new XBox, hack it, those people who said they wouldn't buy the new XBox because of the limitations it had go out and buy one.

    (the above is not necessarily true, just one way to look at it)
