  1. Re:BSD is the way to go on UK Govt Warned: Don't Buy GPL · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The GPL license COULD potential open a business up for a lawsuit

    Yes. But how is that any different from any other software license?

    Even closed source code is open to legal trouble. Perhaps even more so?

  2. Oh boy. on Slashback: Sorveteria, Rockets, Anger · · Score: 1

    Download. Burn. Share. Kick Ass

    erm,. shouldn't that be ...

    Download, Burn, Share, Explode!

  3. Re:Argh....Yet another reason not to buy Sony on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 3, Funny

    There's a rule in skydiving videography: Always buy Sony, there IS a difference.

    There's another rule also: If at first you don't succeed ... ahhh crap.

  4. What is the future of PNG? on What Is The Future of PNG? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What is the future of PNG?

    PONG

  5. I used to have a case like this... on Alien Case Mod · · Score: 5, Funny

    But I blew it out the Goddamn airlock.

  6. The Future on fvwm Turns Ten · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the world will be like when Gnome or KDE turn ten! Right now it's impossible to predict what things will be like in one year, let alone ten!

    640 Gb is enough for anyone, eh? :)

  7. Slashdotting on Ask Bram Cohen about BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do you think BitTorrent could (or should) ever be expanded to cover an entire website, rather than just one file at a time?
    It would save a lot of small sites from being flattened by a larger website. ***ahem***

    BitTorrent Transfer Protocol maybe :)

  8. RFC 1149 on Broadband Barrage Balloons · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ahh, the upgrade to RFC 1149 is here at last.

  9. 14.4 on Just In Case 3G Isn't Speedy Enough · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yea, so my 14.4 modem isn't useless after all! What's that you say .. megabits? What's that?

  10. Open Source Music on Open Source Music · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    *random record scratching sounds* "He-he-hello .. my name is Lin-Lin-Linus .. and I pronounce Linux as Li-Li-Linux"

    Really tho, if OpenBSD can have there own song, so should Linux! ;)

  11. Huston... on Robotic Teleconferencing · · Score: 1

    They should send one of these to Mars instead of those silly tumbleweed things!

    Yea sure the lag would be horrible, but just get someone from efnet to operate it.

  12. Re:This is quite simply solved. on Resume Spamming Creates Storage, Legal Snags · · Score: 1

    I doubt you'd even need the PGP header. Just random data would probably be enough.

  13. Not until... on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They can't be classed as human until one of them has there own talk show!

    Oh, wait... nevermind.

  14. It burns it burns! on Gameboy Advance Users to Get Bluetooth Internet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Without the backlight screen, I might just be able to read games.slashdot.org without getting a headache!

    This is gonna be great!

  15. Re:Nice on Gameboy Advance Users to Get Bluetooth Internet · · Score: 1

    GBA SP has a backlit screen.

    True, but then the total cost is most likely MORE than than the Zaurus would cost in the first place.
    The Gameboy processor isn't all that fast either, for example it can't play MP3's or OGG's, certainly not MPEG's.

    (Tho the Zaurus does struggle a bit with the mpeg's)

  16. Nice on Gameboy Advance Users to Get Bluetooth Internet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    $49, $99,. hmmm how much is a Gameboy Advance these days. $69.99 on amazon.com.

    $217.99 total.

    For a little more, you'd be better of with the Zaurus SL-5500. If you have the Gameboy Advance already tho, it might be worth it. Gonna be a HUGE annoyance browsing without a keyboard and backlight screen.

    Plus Doom look so much better on the Zaurus :)

  17. Re:Microsoft can't dominate the BSD Babe! on For Microsoft, Market Dominance Isn't Enough · · Score: 1

    When will the madness end!

    According to this, next year! Woo-hoo!

    Oh wait .. D'OH!

  18. Great on Lanlink Linking The Coasts · · Score: 1

    The advertising for Independence Day 2 has started already ...

    *deep trailer-dude voice*

    "In a world, where wireless networks span the country ... all it took was one ping, and now there back!"

  19. Re:The imag is not blurred; thats whats interestin on The Deepest Photo Ever Taken · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that simply cause 'Temporal Blur' .. so that if something was moving it would appear blurred. Most of what we see is moving so slow (from our point of view) that it may as well be static - so we'd never notice a bit of temporal smear.

    *shrugs*

    NOTE: I don't know what I'm talking about :)

  20. Re:Domain name? on Libranet 2.8 Review · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Linux community aren't exactly top of the pops in the corporate world, much in fact due to their rather immature birdlike mascot.

    Immature? Rubbish. It reflects what the linux developers are doing perfectly. Not trying to be corporate, not trying to be 'top of the pops'. Simply making cool stuff because they enjoy doing it. It's upto the various distros to present that processional 'corporate' face. And they are doing it just fine thank you very much. :)

    Considering this, and the recent problems Linux have had with corporate penetration, I can't see why domain names like Mad Penguin are chosen.

    Maybe because the owner of the domain liked the name? *shrug*

    The only effect is to drive away potential serious customers.

    Again, this is a distro specific thing. Redhat and Debian both are very well presented. Presentation is not the problem, not by a long shot.

  21. Floppy! on Securing Your Network? · · Score: 1

    A tiny but often overlooked tip: Make sure none of your machines boot from floppy/cdrom by default!

    Infact if your really paranoid, remove all the floppy and cdrom drives!

  22. Huh? on AOL, MS & Yahoo Unite On Anti-Spam Initiative · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... federal legislation ...

    I feel better already.

  23. Re:Aarh! on Micro-Helicopter Fun · · Score: 2, Funny
