  1. wait a second. on Slashback: Assembly, Avoidance, Civility · · Score: 0, Troll

    Stallman was actually comparing DRM to a woman's right to vote AND civil rights of blacks?

  2. Re:Intel p4 Xeon CPU's suck! on Linus: Praying for Hammer to Win · · Score: 1
    The Results? A single AMD 2200MP will match a dual xeon.

    Good try.....but what were the numbers?

  3. Re:I'll never understand this on Heads-Up Wearable Display · · Score: 1

    But can that piece of paper beep when you have an appointment?

  4. Re:Understand the Kuro5hin Story on On the Future of Linux Weekly News · · Score: 1
    That's because Pittsburgh is dirt cheap. Try living just about anywhere else in the country or try raising your expectations just a little. :-)

    What's wrong with living in a town that has a low cost of living?

  5. Re:Yikes! Mucho deneros! on Codeplay Responds to NVidia's Cg · · Score: 1

    sure, the fine folks that make gcc do it.

  6. Who didn't see this coming? on Perens Backs Down from DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    I think it was more of a ploy by Perens to get attention to the DMCA (and himself). Did it work? I don't know, /. is the only place I saw the story.

  7. Re:Pair Programming on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    come on....do real companies use this horsecrap?

  8. It sounds like. on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 1

    A big scam. 80 people signed up, only 3 showed up. Or I was the only person in a bar with no other customers.

  9. Re:More evidence on Motorola, Nintendo, & Sony Towards Wireless Gaming · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's porn more than gaming.

  10. Re:So, Here's the Question on WorldCom to File for Chapter 11 Protection · · Score: 1

    I'd get that resume all pretty like and start looking for another job. The market sucks though so you may get laid off before you find a job. Hell you may even run out of unemployment before you find a job. Hopefully the bank won't foreclose before you find a job.

  11. Re:Free World (tm) on Sybase Advertises 'PATRIOTcompliance' · · Score: 1
    Reading this and putting the 'vision' (if you can call it that) of the USA's government in perspective, you start to wonder why the USA still are calling themselves "Leader of the Free World". Must be a different definition of 'Free' than I have...

    Oh yeah oops, I can't go out side and do anything without permission. Or write a letter to the newpaper. All my freedoms are gone.

  12. Re:The PRAT act? on Sybase Advertises 'PATRIOTcompliance' · · Score: 1
    Just remember people... Under the new act, anyone who speaks out against Bush will be branded a terrorist & monitored...

    Really? You mean all the Democrats and non-Republicans in the US have been rounded up and shot?

  13. Re:What? on Internet Giants Prepare for WorldCom 'Storm' · · Score: 1
    They used edceptive accounting to hide the fact that they were losing a lot of money.

    And why were they losing money? Because they had lost customer demand.

  14. Wait a second. on Unauditable Voting Machines · · Score: 1
    After the debacle, there was lot of noise about electronic voting systems, even ones which use open-source software and were thus completely auditable. Absolutely none of that talk has made it into practice.

    You actually expected real change? Come on!

  15. Re:3 words on Rasterman Says Desktop Linux is Dead · · Score: 1
    EVERYTHING can be done at the CLI, for the BASIC user

    And how do I reead PDF's using the CLI?

  16. Re:I think they'll need new servers.... on Symantec to Acquire SecurityFocus · · Score: 1

    a lot of god the mass unsub's will do. I am sure SF has a backup that Symantic will get ahold of and um, 'use' for legitimate purposes.

  17. Re:Intellectual Property on Talk to a Movie Digital SFX Expert · · Score: 1

    My $0.02 will always be worth more than your 0.02, so :P Not to nitpick but the Euro earlier in the week was actually trading slightly above parity.

  18. Re:what does ^H^H^H^H mean? on One Terabyte On a 12-inch^H^H^H^Hcm Disk · · Score: 1

    it's the representation of backspace.

  19. Re:Satellite input? on Mac PVR Coming Soon · · Score: 1
    What I really want is a PVR that includes satellite (Dish and DirecTV) tuners without being tied to a particular provider's service and pro-advertising whims.

    Don't worry once the DISH and DirecTV merger goes thru your wish will be granted.

  20. Re:Port ports!!!! on Interview with Ian Jackson · · Score: 1

    or if you are like me you realize that testing has been frozen for a month now....

    Who founded debian then? I'm confused.

  22. Re:Only 188 ballots? on Freshly Created: comp.lang.php · · Score: 1

    What killed USENET for me was the fact that of the 4 local ISP's I had to chose from, not one had USENET servers, sure I could do the deja or google route, but why bother?

  23. I hope Sprint did the same. on AT&T Concerned About H2K2 · · Score: 1

    I hope Sprint sent warnings to the staff of TechTV when Kevin Mitnick was on the Screensavers recently.

  24. Re:fat sweaty lady on Easter Eggs in Web Sites? · · Score: 1

    wow. 2 years to do Flash....perhaps the easter eggs should wait til you are near completion.

  25. Re:FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS on I Believe You Have My Stapler · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    People die everyday. Those that commit suicide really shouldn't be held up as heroes.
