  1. Re:funny on WthRemix Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    Check out http://www.lipsum.com/ for everything you wanted to know about Lorem Ipsum but were afraid to ask.

  2. Parker Lewis Can't Lose DVD on Firefly Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah, I second that vigorously!

  3. Re:Redesigning on Saving Bandwidth Through Standards Compliance, Pt. 2 · · Score: 1

    Oh, the joys of working with ignorant pixelpushers...
    And don't try to tell them, that what they cooked up won't work. Even if it's just a small change in the layout to make it work in the template without resorting to voodoo, they get all worked up, as if you were personally insulting them.

    What they don't know is that the real insults start as soon as they are off the phone :-)

  4. Re:Scariest Filename Ever on Me Oh Me Oh My, Malda Gets Married · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought that would be:
    goonandkissthebride.mpg
    which I first parsed as
    goon and kiss the bride. Dunno why...

  5. Re:Dual 195MHz machine? on A Look at IRIX 6.5.17 · · Score: 2

    Heh, I have that CD at home, a nice customer service lady sent it, after asking what kind of music I was listening to in the hold queue.
    There should be much more of this kind of stuff.

  6. Re:Newbie WHATNOW? on SuSE Presents The YaST2 Package Manager · · Score: 2

    I'm using RedHat 7.3, and if the X server keeps crashing (like when you forget to recompile the NVIDIA module after upgrading the kernel *ahem*), a friendly text mode dialog pops up, asking you if you want to reconfigure X or if you want to fix it yourself in text mode.

  7. Re:That funky graph on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know if it's quite what you are looking for, but cvsgraph makes graphs from cvs repositories. Might be a good starting point.

  8. Re:Stop Xbox on linux now! on Linux on Xbox One Step Closer? · · Score: 1

    I guess you're talking about the EPIA motherboards from VIA.
    They really do sound neat...

  9. Re:If you aren't familiar with povray... on POV-Ray 3.5 Rendered · · Score: 1

    Holy cow, those pics are really awesome.

  10. Re:Security holes in a gaming console? on Keeping Secrets in Hardware: Xbox Case Study · · Score: 1

    Being able to automatically hack lots of Xboxes would be quite nice if one wants to do, say, a DDOS...

  11. Re:Jack Valenti-Interesting Coincidence??? on Director Attacks MPAA Piracy Claims · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, he probably looked the same, because that was the same man, according do this

  12. Great... on Google Experiments · · Score: 2, Funny

    The one time I actually want to read what the story's about, and the webserver is down...

  13. The name of the release on GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 3 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This release is codenamed "La lluvia en Sevilla es una maravilla", which babelfish translates to "Rain in Seville is a wonder". Any spanish speakers here that can tell us, what it really means? :-)

  14. Re:I like their attitude on Mandrake Releases 8.2 Beta · · Score: 1

    I think RedHat did something similiar when they released Roswell (7.2 beta), but they were denying the release outright :-)

  15. Re:More Lego Genius on Physical ASCII Mosaic · · Score: 2, Funny

    Quick! Ban Lego! Do it for the Kids!

  16. Re:The only problem is ... on Sci Fi Gives Green Light To "Children of Dune" · · Score: 1

    I guess I should continue reading Dune after all.

  17. Re:I've changed my mind on Wu-ftpd Remote Root Hole · · Score: 1

    And if you're looking for a secure non-anonymous ftp, I'd recommend twoftpd ny Bruce Guenter.
    Try it out, it's neat :-)

  18. Looks neat... on Fast Alpha-Blending In Your GUI · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ..but it would drive me nuts after a while.
    Heck, I even reverted to non-transparent xterms, because the background made the text in the xterm partly unreadable, which is kinda bad if you're programming :-)
    But still a cool heck to impress friends with.

  19. Re:Question about the ISO files on Red Hat 7.2 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know exactly what is on Disc 2, but I do know that you need both discs for a complete install, the second CD is not optional.

  20. Re:Does all this really work though? on FTC Shuts Down 'Pop-Up Trapping' Sites · · Score: 1

    Hey, you try typing with just one hand.

    Umm, nevermind....

  21. I hope it hits the shelf soon on Kohan for Linux Ships · · Score: 1

    I've been playing around with the demo for a while now, and all I can say is, that if you haven't tried it, do it. It's a great game, and I'll buy the Linux version as soon as I see it on the shelf here.

  22. Re:IRC vs. Instant Messaging Chat on Secure IRC? · · Score: 1

    DCC chat is direct client to client chat, so there's no server intervention there.

  23. The question is... on Secure IRC? · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...will it have pr0n and mp3?
