  3. run for town office on E3: SimCity 4 Preview Goodness · · Score: 1

    forget Sims, you can run office! You can interact with other players in real time!

    Nip on down to the book store and pick up a copy of the hint book "Stupid White Men".

  4. Re:Don't believe everything you read... on IBM Nanotechnology Transistor Faster than Silicon · · Score: 2, Funny

    obviously, the guys working at IBM have thicker hair.

  5. Slashdot editors revoked readers US citizenship! on Science a Mystery to U.S. Citizens · · Score: 1

    In a gaffe usually reserved for US presidents, slashdot editors accidently revoked the citizenship of their US readers. Repeated application of "Mystery Science Theater" recommended as a possible cure.

  6. Re:Crouching Tiger? on Nebula Award Winners · · Score: 1

    fantasy, not science fiction. You didn't read the article, did you? :)

  7. complexity on Downsides to the C++ STL? · · Score: 1

    The real problem with the stl, (and C++ in general), is that the knowledge required to use templates is on the same order as the amount of knowledge required to make good use of classes, the C++ library, and the core 'C like' language.


    Understanding, and making good us of, all of the C++ feature is significantly higher than C.


    core language + library + platform => C


    core language + library + objects + templates + stl + platform => C++


  8. in other news... on CIA Warns China Might Be Planning Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

  11. grape smashers want to be free on Can Technology Make The Money For You? · · Score: 1

    In the print copy, the section about the grape smasher mentions that he gave the IP away for free (BSD style). This is direcly oposite the .Net add section.

  12. Re:I think the biggest problem is.. on Sharing Doesn't Hurt · · Score: 1

    not books; they are pretty easy to return. In fact when stores return books to the distributer, they sometimes just return the covers. It's expensive to ship books nobody wants. This lead to books stores 'returning' the books, then selling them as damaged or used...

  13. Re:KDE 3.0 Scoop on KDE 3.0 is Out · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    first submission!

  14. if only on Linux Network Install Options? · · Score: 1

    if linux had un-attended remote install capabilities, I would have installed it on every server that beat on my firewall after that last web virus.

    Just block all of the sites that cover black lung and cave-ins

  16. well, duh on DMCA Hurts Copyright Holders, Too · · Score: 1

    so microsoft posts some windows 3.1 code as an AC, then sues slashdot out of existance. Is that what we want?

  17. question on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 1

    why do you want to put all 4000 servers in the same domain? I don't keep 4000 files in the same directory. This is why we have sub domains.

  18. self-censorship in mass media on Teaching Fahrenheit 451 and Censorship w/ a Tech Twist? · · Score: 1


    What concerns me most is self censorship. There are a lot of stories that are n
    ot reported in the main stream media because of fear of lawsuits, editorial pres
    sure from owners or advertisers, or the government.


    see project censored for recent examples.

  19. IMAP is your friend on Email Clients with Encrypted Archives? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1. Use IMAP instead of POP; this keeps the mail on the server.


    2. set up an IMAP server on a box that you control, preferably at home. Put the server behind SSL.


    3. When you want to archive an email, drag it over to your home server, and delete the original.


    This assumes that you use an email client that can talk to multiple IMAP servers at once.
