  1. Re:Yeah, but will it play oggs? on Apple Quietly Releases iTunes 4.8 · · Score: 1

    It's very possible to support Ogg on portables; I know this because I own one that does (Rio Karma). That wonderful floating-point issue has been solved now for at over two years, when Xiph released Tremor, the integer-based Ogg decoder.

  2. Re:Isn't this technically illegal? on Hack IIS6 Contest · · Score: 1
    I don't see how I can determine that Roger Grimes actually owns the server running HackIIS Contest or not.

    His friends call him "Grimey"

    http://ads/? Who runs an ad server on the local network?

  4. Re:We're moving in the right direction on Identity Theft Prevention Tips? · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, my friend, you are thinking of scissors. Scissors destroy paper, paper covers rock and rock breaks scissors.

  5. Re:I'm stunned on OpenLaszlo 3.0 Announced · · Score: 3, Funny
    I'm stunned that there is not more of a response to this news here on Slashdot. OpenLaszlo is a great product. You can author some really nice applications using their framework, and it's open source to top if off.

    Response is subdued because the Slashdot community is still reeling over the shocking news that the Wayback Machine web archive archives web pages, even extremely popular ones like Google.

  6. Re:No way! on Opera's CEO to Swim From Norway to the USA · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, he was subjected to hearing Bjork for much longer than the rest of the world. Swimming 5000 miles in icy water is a relief by comparison.

  7. Re:use Mandrake on One Year Later - CUPS Admin Still Lacking? · · Score: 1

    For a second, I thought you said "Mangina".

  8. Re:MS Paint on Why Did Adobe Buy Macromedia? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought he said "fuck", as in "Microsoft is going to fuck the gimp."

  9. Re:How about... on Linus Drops BitKeeper · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's why not (read the PS).

  10. Re:Because passports are never wrong! on U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country · · Score: 1

    But what if he dresses like a nun and drives a car covered in duckies & bunnies?

  11. Re:A welcome change on WiMax Technology Could Blanket the US? · · Score: 1

    What's more amazing is that in such a complex world, you can have such a simplistic view of things, like you're the president of the USofA of something. Believe it or not, there are persons in this world who embrace ideas from both the right AND left. There are liberal Christians, conservative athiests, tree-hugging vegan capitalists (ever shopped at Whole Foods?), etc. You should probably turn off Rush for a bit, step outside and get some fresh air. All that propaganda clouds your vision and makes you say stupid things in public.

    By the way, I lost the link - can you tell me where I can download a copy of the "liberal doctrine"? Oh wait, I remember, it's right here and here.

  12. A welcome change on WiMax Technology Could Blanket the US? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It will be a welcome change from the jingoism and neo-conservative hate-mongering that is currently blanketing the US.

  13. Re:You've never heard of PGW on Philadelphia Considering Municipal Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    We prefer he/she/it leave.

    Hmmmm...I think I still prefer tomacco

  15. Re:I have an idea for a new FreeBSD logo on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 1

    How about a picture of the FreeBSD demon sodomizing the Linux penguin? (Or gomorrahizing him. Don't want to offend any Gomorrahans by not celebrating their wickedness by linking their name with unusual forms of intercourse.)

  16. Re:sheesh... on Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    It doesn't keep you from reading it, though, does it?

    Memories, indeed. This almost made me weep for my younger days:

    300 baud! Where's my VIC-20 when I need it...?

    They probably heard this statement.

  20. Re:Sad if true on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps as a compromise, they could produce "Star Trek: Professional" and "Star Trek: Home User" editions while they ready "Star Trek: Enterprise".

  21. Re:Drupal on CMS for High School Newspaper Website? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I second this. I'm not a big PHP fan, but the Drupal guys (and its cousin project CivicSpace) were very thoughtful in designing a complete drop-in but very extensible CMS framework. Plone with Archetypes is also a good choice, if you prefer Python (and who wouldn't?), and it tends to iron out a lot of the wrinkly parts of Zope that turn people away.

  22. Re:It's also the HTML on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    And I'd be fired if I sat around all day reading the borked HTML Slashcode spits out. Oh, wait...

  23. Re:It's also the HTML on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    They only fixed the resultant HTML, not the underlyng slashcode, which is what the OP is talking about.

  24. Re:Not a great idea. on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 1
    Same thing goes to the whole "woman being battered" in a few of the middle eastern countries. Sure, I think its wrong, like anyone.

    Speak for yourself. I happen to think battered women are delicious, especially with hot mustard sauce.

    Thanks, dude - now I just wasted an hour of my life and my wrist hurts like crazy.
