  1. Re:Defect? on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 5, Informative
    From the report:
    NULL Pointer Dereference (Expression dereferences a NULL pointer) 29 instances
    Uninitialized Variable (Variable is not initialized prior to use) 2 instances

    They also list the files and code snippets where the errors were found.

    In addition, the comparison is made against an industry average of commercial code they have tested this way, NOT against other webservers.

    This submission is part of his testing the PopSci server for the Slashdot effect. Beware of non-tested servers!

    I mean what's more fun than pulling wires at the last minute when you really have to have that wire.

    Heh, I like to pull live 230V wires. Just hook up one end, turn the juice on and try to keep up, adding switches and fixtures. It makes for some really, really careful wiring.

    These people probably read the Daily Dilbert as they would their horoscope and regard the PHB as a shining beacon of good management practice. There should be a big, red, blinking warning sign saying "WARNING: SATIRE - DO NOT TRY THIS AT WORK".

    -Hey Lydia, here's your coffee.
    -What's this? *frown*
    -Grande Coffee like you asked.
    -This is not a Grande Coffee.
    -Oh, but it is. They just changed the menu down there. Coffee now comes in four sizes. Grande, Gigante, Gargantuani and WoW.
    -And "WoW"!?
    -We cops call this "the Urinator". *holds up a bucket*
    -I didn't need to know that.
    -And instead of "Tall" being "Small", "Grande" now means sample size.
    -I miss the good old days when there was just small, medium and large.
    -Scooter, your cup holders are too small.

  9. News? on GameCube ISOs Released? · · Score: 5, Funny
    So, there's an unconfirmed story that there may be illegal ISOs floating around that may or may not actually be playable at some time in the future. Or possibly already is, on some hardware. Maybe. Riiight.

    Cmdr Taco, the NY Times has hacked your site!

    So we all descent from those 700 people...interesting.

    Yeah, that's the standard crew complement of a Class 2 exploration spacecraft from the Alpha Centauri planetary society.

  11. Sponsors on Port Mozilla, Collect $3696 · · Score: 1

    One of the sponsors in their list gave 5 bucks and a link back to his site; www.sendmeapound.com. Go check out his Pound-O-Meter. I love an optimist, but not enough to give him money. :-)

  12. Re:A Note to Europeans about taxes.... on U.S. E-Commerce Sites To Collect EU VAT · · Score: 1
    Shops get the tax in bought items back, individuals don't.

    If I, as a businessman, buy a printer, I get the tax back as a refund from the government. When I sell it to a customer, I pay the tax on that (probably higher or I wouldn't be in business for long) price. In reality, I just pay the difference unless I sit on the printer for a while.

  13. So... on Intel Shipped 1 Billionth Computer Chip · · Score: 3, Funny

    How many chips would a chipmunk ship if a chipmunk could ship chips?

    Yeah, I hope he can get Bill to remove that pesky Windows Activation scheme, it doesn't work anyway.

  15. Re:Ask Slashdot: stowaway on board a spacecraft? on NASA Launching Two Mars Rovers in June · · Score: 4, Interesting
    There is one way: Die and have someone cremate you and hide the ashes in one of the experiments. That's the only way to get light and small enough to not be noticed, or indeed to find room at all.

    Sorry about the big letters part. You could always move out into the desert and dedicate your life to digging mile-high letters in the sand, spelling "FUCK YOU" for the next shuttle crew that passes by. ;-)

    Britain's Silsoe Research Institute received about $200,000 a year from the government to design a humane harvesting machine

    Anyone else read that as "human harvesting machine"?

  19. Re:First Light! ;-) on SETI Goes to Arecibo To Stat *Candidates* · · Score: 1
    I though radio signals were just light in another wavelength.

    I'm no physics professor, but that probably depends on if you see it as a particle or a wave. As a particle, light is photons while radio is electrons. As waves, it's the same (EM radiation) and my post is just a lame attempt at a joke.

    I like to think of them as wavy particles, kinda like really fast sperm, hitting the eye. :-)

    Telescope geeks rejoice. But what should one say for a radio telescope? "First wave"?

    Really weird. Just now, I was kicked out and was unable to log back in for a while. Oh, the pain! I looked at this story, saw the second comment to my post and clicked on the link to read it, that threw me back to the front page, except it had one ad per story - probably to compensate for the two ad-free stories we got. And the RCTW one was green but now it's back to blue again.

    Go easy on the lighter fluid, editors!
