  1. Re:Open To Closed on Tuxracer 1.0 Retail Version Finished · · Score: 1

    All crap.

  2. Re:And why the hell does it COST so much? on Money in the Music Business · · Score: 1

    Hey, if it worked for Brian May...

    By the way, you should never need more than 2 microphones (or 5 if you're recording surround sound on SACD or DVD-A) and 80 minutes to record an album either. If you can't play it live, you shouldn't be recording it.

  3. Re:Never take off... on Clockless Chips · · Score: 1

    HELLO? Is this thing on? Do I have to explain EVERYTHING?

    For the millions of moderators who didn't get the joke:

    BogoMIPS = No-ops/Sec = Pipe width * Clock speed for clocked processors, therefore equally meaningless.

  4. Re:AMD Wins. on Clockless Chips · · Score: 1

    That doesn't even make sense. How is a 0 MHz clock "winning the clock-speed wars"?

    On the other hand, their chips would have INFINITE IPC ;-)

  5. Re:Never take off... on Clockless Chips · · Score: 1

    Hmmm....

    That's easy! They just start using BogoMIPS as the model number!

  6. Re:Am I too late? on Ask New 2.4 Maintainer Marcelo Tosatti Anything · · Score: 1

    Apples and oranges. One's an editor, the other's an OS that needs a decent editor...

    Anyway, you *do* realize the One True Editor is ed, don't you?

  7. One more that you might care about: on More Copy Protected CDs? · · Score: 1

    I have heard that Aphex Twin's "drukqs" is copy-protected or whatever, but I'm not paying $20 to find out. So what if it's 2 CDs.

  8. WHAT?!?!?! on The Linux Distribution Game · · Score: 1

    Slackware has a logo??!

    As a one-time Slackware user, I can assure you that having a logo goes against everything that Slackware stands for. It must be a fake!

  9. Re:Ummm... Price? on Intel's New Compiler Boosts Transmeta's Crusoe · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sun's compilers cost $2000 if you want C++...

  10. Re:They could learn from Apple... on Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft · · Score: 1

    30 days is far too lenient. Give them 1 week tops.

  11. Re:I can't read the details of the security flaw on Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Yes. I could use Mozilla.

    Then do it! The page works just fine with Mozilla on Solaris.

  12. Re:I tried to post this one already on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 1

    Screw Iron Chef USA! I want Iron Chef Mexican! Or at least Morimoto back...

  13. This just in: on White House Frowns on National ID Card · · Score: 1

    One White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, was quoted as saying:

    <Nelson>Haw ha!</Nelson>

  14. Re:Microsoft wants to destroy Open Source!! on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  15. Re:Never heard of any such Cesium project... on MIT To Release Next-Generation OS "Cesium" · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not to mention that there's no such thing as the "Advanced Operating Systems Group" listed at the Laboratory for Computer Science homepage. Is there one?

    I smell a hoax.

  16. Re:MIT business plan on MIT To Release Next-Generation OS "Cesium" · · Score: 1

    Duh, 2's the same as it's ever been:

    1. Release Next-Generation OS
    2. Continue Charging Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars for Computer Science and Engineering Education
    3. Profit!!!

  17. Re:a tiny window manager on Tiny Apps · · Score: 1

    Try this one. It compiles out to 36k on my system, while 9wm compiles to 41k.

    Dunno which optimizations get 27k though...

  18. Re:But Why? But Why Not? on Sony Annouces Linux PS2 Port for US · · Score: 2, Interesting
    You see- back in the days of the Commodore 64 a computer didn't have to have a completely dedicated setup for people. It was fine to have a computer just plugged into the TV for occassional gaming, BBS, and type-work.


    You forgot one thing:

    Back in those days you could go to Toys R Us and get the practically complete guide to programming the Commodore 64, including the 6510 assembly language, and the schematic just for the hell of it. Now THAT was cool, unlike these crappy-ass computers of today.

    I ain't buying a Linux powered PS2 until they give me the same thing.

    Oh, so what you want to do is turn Slashdot into Congress, where you can't be heard unless you pay the appropriate fee.

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

    I don't think so.

    Dumbass.
  20. Re:Last time I checked... on Disney's Anti-File Swapping Cartoon · · Score: 1

    Right.

    How come if you "steal" my music, I still have it then?

    Oh well, IHBT.

  21. Re:Qt on Qt Released For OS X · · Score: 0

    Have you looked at Motif? It's still THE standard UNIX toolkit.

    At least until Sun releases Solaris with GNOME, then it can be deprecated and GTK will become the standard.

    Qt? Fuhgeddabowdit.

  22. Re:kick moderator's ass on Free PCs Not AfFordable · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    if i ever meet the moderator who modded this down i will KICK HIS ASS unless he's a she in which case i will RANT INCOHERENTLY!

    Cons: erm.. availability of code


    Hello, I guess you haven't looked here lately.

    Now, if only someone would write the DRI drivers for Solaris, everything would be cool.
  24. Re:Now tell me... on Transmeta To Release Next Generation CPU · · Score: 1


    ftp ftp.xfree86.org
    bin
    cd pub/XFree86/4.1.0/src
    mget X410.tgz
    bye
    for file in X410*.tgz; do gzip -dc $file | tar xfv -; done
    cd xc
    make World 2>world.log

    That builds the X server as well as many useful programs to go with it, but no fan and it won't make noise either.

    The computer you run it on, though, may be a different matter.
