    Wait, I thought we were harvesting energy from Humans. I saw this movie, and....this is confusing.

  6. Re:OT: 802.11g and Linux on How Stable is WEP? · · Score: 1

    I have a Linksys WPC11 card and the new 54G router working beautifully. I'm using Debian. The trick is to install the wlan-ng drivers. I had nothing but problems before I installed wlan-ng.

  7. Now WE know on CAPPS II Trials Begin in March · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't they realize that anything that is publicized is now what a terrorist will most definately avoid? If they are looking for good credit and a history of large amounts of money moving through a bank account or vice versa, then a potential threat, i.e terrorist, will most definately change their habits to remain undetectible. These are not stupid people. If I know what steps an airline is taking to detect whether or not I am a threat, so does EVERYONE else. I know many of you will say that this information is made public so that I know what freedoms are being taken from me and I say that either scenerio is a bad idea. Leave my credit history and bank account information alone and find another way to detect terrorists without telling me how you are going to do it, just don't invade my privacy.

  8. Re:Usually in this order on Your Take On(line) Reality? · · Score: 1

    Of course the link to my site is wrong. It leads to a directory listing instead of a pretty web page. For anyone interested in sneaking at peak at my life here is the proper link:

    Then I usually log into Blackboard at school to see if I have any new assignments or if any messages have been posted since I last checked. Then it's off to my numerous webmail accounts with netscape.com, cup of coffee, hop on the bus, go to class. Sneak a peak at Slashdot while the teacher is not looking. lather, rinse, repeat

  10. Re:Narrow minded Souls? on Sir Isaac Newton: The world Will End In 2060 · · Score: 1

    I get modded as flamebait, yet the submitter gets a story posted that begs for an attack. Calling non-beleivers narrow minded souls is somehow acceptable. I understand my comment was to provoke strong emotions in those with a religous justification for name calling, but be fair. Flamebait I am not. Just trying to balance things out for us non-religous folk.

  11. Narrow minded Souls? on Sir Isaac Newton: The world Will End In 2060 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    "Those narrow-minded souls who still believe that devout religious faith is incompatible with fervent scientific inquiry are probably unaware...." I guess I am one of the narrow minded ones, but if I may quote Bertrand Russel "Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we abopt reason and science as our guidelines." Let the flames begin..

  12. Throw yourself on the floor on Apple is Going Out of Business ... Again · · Score: 3, Funny

    He's just REALLY mad that he couldn't sync his palm pilot. When his temper tantrum is over he'll feel real bad for saying those things. His just a little sore right now. Just think of the article he would have written if he had bought a brand new PC with XP.

    What DICK moderated this as flamebait?

  14. Slashdot weenies on A Tale in the Desert · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    We NEED more games to be developed for Linux. Aren't you tired of rebooting to play a fucking game?? I am. Someone releases a Linux clent of their game along with Winodws and all I hear is a bunch of bitching and whining, no blood, no fun..morons. Write your own fucking Linux game if you want blood and gore. To the people who released this game, thank you for having the courage to release a Linux client along with a Windows client. As you can see, the behavior of some these children is why many companies don't take Linux seriously. We are not all teenage brats.

  15. Too bad on Sim-Dud? · · Score: 1

    I know my girlfriend played The Sims and every expansion that came out. She was a Sim fanatic. When she saw the online version her response was: What's the point?

  16. 2 dead, working on a third on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 1

    This is a well documented (not by IBM though) problem with the ThinkPad 600 series. I have two worthless batteries sitting in my closet. Also, I seem to remember reading that this model does not fare well when Linux is installed, i.e. the battery dies even quicker. Here are some links you should check out. here here, and here.

  17. The State of digital in CH on Cell Phones - Analog vs. Digital · · Score: 1

    I just recently bought a Seimens S something or other and it SUCKS! I have never had worse quality from any phone. The phone retails for $250, good thing I didn't pay that much. The internet features never work, every person I talk to says that I am cutting out, and the signal is absolute trash; it will shut off when I answer, when I am in the house, in the car. I have to stand outside to make a friggin call. If you are in the Chapel Hill, NC area go for analog or stay away from Cingular. I have never had a digital phone that worked past 10 feet of the inside of a building. My analog had no such problem. Is this a problem with my provider or are the digital networks just not up to par yet?

  18. Interface on OpenOffice.org For Mac OS X · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So the installer has the Aqua interface, but what about the app? Screenshots anyone? I wonder if those memos and Emails of hysteria are flowing through Micorosoft this morning.

  19. Don't Forget on Factory/Plant Tours - Where Would You Go? · · Score: 1

    You can stop by my house. I live up in the hood in Chapel Hill, NC. It's a must see.

    People actually start forking over money to read the drivel we puke up here at Salon!

  22. Bravo on Microsoft's Worst Enemy: Themselves · · Score: 1

    Bravo, Bravo. An article by a non-Linux/OSS user telling Microsoft to shape up or piss off. We need to see more of this. This should be the main argument right now to switch desktop users away from Microsoft software. I have talked to many people who just don't want to hear about stability, user interface etc. But, start telling these people that soon Microsoft will be in their bedrooms telling them they can't f*** in that postition and they begin to listen. Educate the public on the real evils of Microsoft.

  23. Go see Solaris on Review: Solaris · · Score: 1

    I just got back from seeing Solaris and I really liked it. I thought the ending was a bit crap, but it only lasted a minute or so, so what. I have read the book and own the original on DVD so I went in expecting this movie to be better than most of the trash that plaques movie screens these days. I got what I wanted. I would even go see it again. It's about time we can watch a movie that doesn't have corporate sponsored ads plastered in every shot, stupid cock rock music in every scene to go along with really bad punch lines, and special effects that drug the audience because the movie plain sucks. Do yourself and directors that might make more movies like this a favor, go see the movie.

  24. Ironic on MS Asking Makers of 'Windows' Software To Rename · · Score: 1

    Funny how just as I get to the end of the article I see an AD for The Microsoft Small Business Solutions Book Collection. But seriously, to the people making the aforementioned software titles STOP making software for Windows. I suspect this is only the beginning of your troubles. I bet in a few more years you will be hearing from these same lawyers and the argument that your first born now belongs to Microsoft because of the software you developed in 2002. Didn't you read the EULA?
