  1. Re:zeroconfig? on Mandrake Linux... Not Dead Yet? · · Score: 1

    Zeroconfig (in the Apple world, rendezvous), is a technology that AFAIK allows autoconfig of ip addresses/routers/whatever, based on surrounding chatter on your subnet. The establishment of communication sbetween devices can be transparent
    to the user.

    More info is available at Apple's site

  2. end user's perspectives on the matter... on Why Do Google Hit Numbers Vary? · · Score: 3, Funny

    bevis: Huh-huh. They said *mountains*. Huh-huh.

    *smack*

    butt_head: They are slashdot. They make such references to screw up the google database, thus completly validating their newstories. Inevitable reposts will bump the number even higher!

    bevis: like a conspiracy. huh-huh

    butt_head: conspiracies are cool!

  3. Umm. Okay... on RIAA Unveils Net Tracking Tag for Online Sales · · Score: 1

    Valient effort from the "other side" to track^h^h^h^h^h spy^h^h^h protect consumers, but what prevents "rogue pirates" (aka consumers) from ripping to WAV/AIFF and then converting to lossless/lossy format of choice?

    This looks like a last ditch effort to regain control of the digital media revolution, if you ask me.

    You say this as if you didn't have kids.

    oh wait....

  5. Interesting pickup lines... on Go Go Gadget Minisaw · · Score: 5, Funny

    Must be an embarrassment for the poor guy.

    "Is that a ruler in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"

    "Actually, it IS a ruler."

  6. My mother-in-law... on Pigs with Human Genes · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... I'd dare say my mother-in-law qualifies, without even having surgery.

    What, oh yeah, sorry. Gut reaction. :)

  7. If it doesn't work out... on Build Your Own Cyclotron · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is what seems to be a very cool application of putting old equipment to good work. And hey, if it turns out that it doesn't work, he has a cheep and effective form of birth control...

    *shudders* Me thinks of the advertisments for DIY permenant birth control... =O

  8. Probably a little redundant... on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Moz 1.2 works like a champ on my iMac under Jaguar. 1.1 was a little sluggish, but 1.2 seems to have corrected that and then some. Startup times are now nearly as fast as IE 5.2.2, and Moz is and hopefully will continue to be much less crash prone than IE. This is in and of itself amazing, considering it is 1.2 BETA.

    Great job to all who work on this effort. It is much appreciated by many in the computing field.
    Cheers!

  9. hmmm... seems a little unnecessary to me... on Use Linux to Reduce Your Power Bill · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm reading the article and thinking "Wouldn't it be more effective to just turn the damn thing off?"

    -Yes, this IS a joke. :)

    Step 7: Make a beowulf cluster of them for added fun and profit

    Just change your screen depth to millions of colors.

    24/32bit mode seemed to clear up the lines for me.

  12. I would have expected this... on Chicken-Feather Chips · · Score: 0

    I can't believe that this is happening in the University of Delaware. Now, Perdue, that's another story!
