  1. Re:hehe.. sorta on Latest Proposals for C++0x · · Score: 1

    Wow, this sure has turned into an enlightening discussion about the new proposed features of C++0x!

  2. Re:Just Say It! on USS Ronald Reagan Commissioning Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    "Bastards" may be a word, but "repete" isn't.

  3. Re:D'OH! on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    And crime. The linked article says this happens to genius and crime in young men. Why leave that off the article? Only 10% of Slashdot readers...
    ...have ever met a genius, let alone are one, whereas well over 90% are criminals, with their P2P directories loaded with Limp Bizkit and Aphex Twin ogg's.

  4. Re:Preliminary.. on Courts Block Washington Violent Game Law · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can I just take a moment to say that "Balance of Hardships" sounds like some kind of lame attempt at a lawyer-themed RPG, possibly made by SSI around 1985 for the Commodore 64?

  5. Open sourcing isn't the issue on Open Source Law · · Score: 3, Funny

    The problem is that they won't allow anonymous CVS commits.

  6. Re:Dude...that's just crazy. on New Deep Ocean Creatures · · Score: 1
    That ain't the half of it. From the description of the same creature:

    urine is turned into buoyancy

    I'm thinking, forget those wine-tasting balloon rides, if we were jewel squid, we could drink beer and eventually just lift off.

  7. Yes I have experience with it on Are You Using 802.1X? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    so long as x==1b

  8. Re:I want to believe. on Windows Tech Writer Looks at Linux · · Score: 1
    Yeah, I've bought two pieces of hardware now (USB Floppy and USB memory stick slot) that came with "Windows only" driver disks.

    I brought them home, threw out the driver disks, and plugged them into my Mac and they work fine. Oops, this was supposed to be a Linux story. Well, let's just say that I used to use Linux but it was hardware incompatibility that drove me to the Mac.

    (Flamebait? It's your call, but this is a true story.)

  9. Let's just say that the tracking does work... on Random Movement Printing Technology · · Score: 1

    So if the tracking worked perfectly, it seems that it would still be only relative position that it senses. How do you get the thing aligned to print square with respect to any piece of paper? Some long pre-printing alignment calibration for every sheet?

  10. It's the Church of the Subgenius on 55808 Trojan Analysis · · Score: 5, Funny

    Their "flagship," the S.S.BOB

    Uh that's a de-leetified 55808 BTW

  11. It's far more sinister than you think... on What's Behind The Odd Data? · · Score: 1

    ... It's "Operation Phase Two" for Bonzi Buddy.

  12. Re:Good Heavens on Platform Evangelism · · Score: 1
    You do realize that by agreeing to converse with us in English, you are implicitly endorsing the arbitrary abuses of power engaged in by the Sheriff of Nottingham, don't you?

    Yes, you are dumber than you thought you were. It's called social convention, and you became engaged in it long before you bought your first CD.

  13. Re:Redundant??? on QBASIC Programming for Dummies · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Shouldn't your comment be modded "Redundant?"

  14. Re:Yet another reason for BSD/Linux on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1
    BlueJ is much better than Eclipse or NetBeans for the young programmer. No need to explain "public static void main..." out of the starting gate, just plain classes (in real Java, mind you), which can be instantiated or have methods called manually or by other code. Built-in minimal UML for "is-a" and "uses" diagrams, and still full access to any Java class library.

    I'm planning on using this summer to teach my daughter some programming by making a game together in BlueJ.

  15. Re:Time-compressed playback on Review: PogoProducts' Radio Your Way · · Score: 1

    Of course, the talk on Pacifica could be improved by 100% compression.

  16. Time-compressed playback on Review: PogoProducts' Radio Your Way · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Another feature that audio players should make use of is time-compressed playback, digitally speeding up the audio without "chipmunking." You might be able to squeeze 20% more time out in addition to commercial skipping. I wouldn't recommend it for music, of course.

  17. Re:Too many acronyms... on Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation · · Score: 1

    Personally, my favorite by Spielberg is ETtET.

  18. Is that... on Jonathan Ive Named Designer of the Year · · Score: 0, Funny

    Is that "Ive" as in "I've got an idea?"

  19. Re:Complex Codes! on Universal Alphanumeric Postal Code Proposed · · Score: 1

    Why the heck do you spell "mile" as "metre?" Doesn't that make it too easily confused with "meter?"

  20. Re:Why not Python? on Interview Responses From BitTorrent's Bram Cohen · · Score: 4, Funny
    A snowflake wieghs next to nothing but snow can collapse a house.

    Ah, grasshopper, it takes 30 kiloliters of air to fill a room but only 30 milliliters of fart to empty a room.

  21. Re:Hrm on Supercomputing: Raw Power vs. Massive Storage · · Score: 1
    irregardless IS NOT a word!!!!!!!!!!

    An exclamallipsis is not a punctuation mark, either.

  22. So what? on YOPY Arrives · · Score: 2, Funny

    Call me back when Duke Nukem Forever is ported to it.

  23. Re:comic book guy sez: on The Biggest MySQL Cluster, Ever? · · Score: 1

    You mean "evar."

  24. Re:Ah... on Bonzi Class Action Suit Settled: No Foolin'! · · Score: 1

    Opera on Gnome, huh? You tech-savvy dude, you.

  25. Re:Corporations are at fault? on Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    For a suitably overloaded operator==(), yes.
