    maybe we vegetarians are just smarter to begin with.... :)

  2. Re:Is the word "than" dying? on 4Gb CF Card Announced · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    mod parent up. slashbots are modding people down for pointing out failings in the editoral staff.

    if you wanna be accepted as a "real" news source, get used to criticism.

  3. Re:wearing pants? on Wearing a Tie May Cause Blindness! · · Score: 1

    i got niced up for the interview at my current job, and kinda got the idea that there was a dress code. on my first day, i dressed nicely, then found that comfort is king. so now i'm in the shirt i slept in, corduroy pants and sandals :).

    having to dress a certain way or being comfortable definitely affects one's job performance and satisfaction, i think...

  4. Re:I blame PHP... on PHP5 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    I've been blaming PHP for the fact that I haven't gotten around to learning much of Perl...

    save yourself the trouble and just learn Python :)

    the original poster obviously didn't know what a poll was, or was pretending so. i wasn't questioning the source or motive of the poll, just clarifying the meaning of the word.

    Poll: A survey of the public or of a sample of public opinion to acquire information.

  6. Re:Is it just me? on Want Freedom? · · Score: 1

    That implies they asked every american, and noone asked ME.

    a poll is a sample representative of a larger group, such as americans in general. duh...

    mod this up, even tho i'm gonna get modded down for saying so.

  10. Re:Thank God! on GCC 3.2 Released · · Score: 1

    i really don't understand what is so difficult about installing gentoo. you follow the instructions and type the commands, and wait. if there's a problem, look on the forums. easy.

  11. Re:Thank God! on GCC 3.2 Released · · Score: 1

    i am using a gentoo 1.4b system at home, gcc version 3.2 2002-07-26 (prerelease), optimized for athlon. so far, mostly good. there was a hitch compiling Xfree86, but was easily fixed.

    a few things don't work, but i like it so far. kde is a bit quicker (opinion, i don't have anything to back that up with) and the system seems pretty stable, w/ no crashes thus far, and most everything built with -O3.

  12. Re:$100,000 too much, nah.... on Cortical Cybernetic Implants · · Score: 1

    you obviously didn't read the entire article, and neither did the moderators. go back, read the article, and then post.

    It takes a AMD XP1700+ about 6 hours to render 180 frames at 704x480 res, and any decent animation is going to be at that level or better.

    i guess that means it's Hammer Time!

  14. call me arrogant... on From Software to Soup: On Trading Coding for Crepes · · Score: 1

    but i'm just "too proud" to go from IT to making someone's food. it would disturb me, cuz i'd always feel that i'm doing less than i'm capable of.

    anyone else get that?

  20. Re:What about WAPs? on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    ...and continuing on this note, what about installations with unsecured WAP's (many)? it's possible that someone could just hide a small system with a wireless iface in some inconspicuous place. all it needs is the juice.

  21. Re:Open Source PKI Needed? on OpenSSH Package Trojaned · · Score: 1

    precisely. and i get modded to flamebait. did i say anything *bad* about debian? no. so now even recommending another distro over it is cause for concern, i guess...

    you could dump debian and use gentoo
