  1. Re:Well, so much for freedom. on DMCA 2, Freedom 0 · · Score: 1

    were the Confederates patriots?

    They could have been. The winner writes the history books.

  2. Re:In Principle, yes... on Boeing to Develop a Fuel Cell Powered Airplane · · Score: 2, Funny

    Offtopic? Sheesh. Make a joke and it goes over like a lead zeppelin.

  3. In Principle, yes... on Boeing to Develop a Fuel Cell Powered Airplane · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    The heisenburg exploded because it was painted with reactive metal paint.

    I'm a little uncertain that you've got the right name here.

  4. Slashdot != News on Anti-Terrorism Law Passed · · Score: 1
    Uhh, since when did Slashdot ever pretend to be "professional?"

    Most people come here to read opinions. If you want impartial reporting of facts, there are hundreds of "real" news websites to visit.

  5. Re:hide bill's BASIC on Arcade Games Officially Over The Hill · · Score: 1
    Thanks for this link! I've been looking for Billy Boy's legendary letter for some years now.

    It's the last open thing Microsoft's ever written.

    Oops! The brothers' name was "Judica Cordiglia" (must be lunchtime...)

    Actually, there is a lot of truth to the rumor that Gagarin wasn't first. Keep in mind that erasing the "mistakes" was par for the course for the Soviets during the Cold War.

    Check out this fascinating website about the Abrate brothers, two Italians space buffs and radio amateurs who recorded the early spaceflight attempts of the USSR. Hear for yourself!

  8. Try Win4Lin for using Windows with Linux on Linux On Windows - The Thin End Of The Wedge? · · Score: 1

    Win4Lin is not slow, cumbersome, nor a resource hog. Get it and you'll forget how to reboot!

  9. Why Tesla won... on 100 Years of Radio · · Score: 1

    While I believe that Tesla invented radio, it seems the U.S. government had a more practical reason for recognizing Tesla as radio's inventor. After the war, the Marconi company sought patent royalties for all government's radios. The Court's ruling, uh, squelched that in one stroke.

  10. Please Help Them Out! on NSI Class Action Lawsuit Over Domain-Squatting · · Score: 1
    NetSol's behavior smacks of greed. I'm thrilled that someone is doing something about it.

    Please , folks! If this has ever happened to you, give these guys a call and sign an affadavit! It seems that it will take a lawsuit to make Network Solutions do the right thing.

  11. Cook wrist, season to taste. on More On The Linux Wrist Watch · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine how it would feel wearing a Pentium III on your wrist? You'd want to pour your coffee on your arm to cool off!
