  1. pity a good place like techweb were fooled on 2.3TB drives for $50 · · Score: 1

    i mean when slashdot posts things like this its not always news.. just 'this could be cool'...and again about the price of course i'd like to only pay $50 i'd be really willing to pay whatever they would ask for it.. even $1000 or more... i mean.. when will ya ever need to buy a new one...
    altho a 100G watch would be cool... save carrying all those zipdiscs around...

  2. Re:A treatise on why we (the US) must accept pirac on LucasFilms suing 'net Pirates · · Score: 1

    Because the internet is not a US only entity, fool!

    spot on!
    -
    this is the only way we can fight jar-jar. on his own turf...
    which brings me to the next point, cgi (therefore jar-jar) is taken from the internet. he is happy to take the use of internet for his advantage, but is not willing for the internet to work the other way...

    besides i'm sure every pirate is 'geeky' enuff to watch it at the movies and buy many of the products

  3. Re:I love the 8-ball on Quickie Fu · · Score: 1

    yep the slashdot effect was well illistrated. but like most 8-balls they don't work.
    i ask it a question and it answers gibberish
    i asked "what is one plus one?", and the answer was "without a doubt".. not very useful at all

  4. Re:Obvious forgeries on Forged e-mails from Linus · · Score: 1

    exactly, and those who don't know wouldn't differentiate between him and John Smith

    washed out?? ya never to old to code :P

  5. Re:Dated Components on Super Shielded PC Cases · · Score: 1

    i'd have to tend to agree..
    besides those old 386 cases were as tough and heavy as hell anyway, would most likely survive a bomb blast anyway...and for nuclear blast..well the operator would not be alive to use it anyway. Who even puts a case on their computer?


    Whoa, I got bad gramma.

  6. Re:calling it "pretty good" is far fetched on A Pretty Good Slashdot Parody · · Score: 1

    yep i agree thats it pretty lame. but i think that its worth a post seeing as its a parody.

    and i agree that its probably a 12yo... cos one does get sick of the snot and penis jokes, a parody of slashdot would be good if it was less crude and more 'mature' humour...

  7. Rob for president on Voting over the net? · · Score: 1

    well, we have about 100,000 (?) votes for him for a start. we'd just have to hope they wouldn't use M$ servers for hosting it, ... "who is this blue screen guy and why has everyone voted for him?"

  8. Re:One comment... on David Brin Responds to Star Wars Issues · · Score: 1

    Yes, but most fiction don't overhype itself to being that almost every commerical is a starwars related add, and every shop has some starwars related thing in it

  9. Re:Hmm, the image is still there. on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    hell yea, perhaps it was an inside job, and just made it on the 4th to be funny

  10. Re:Bad Karma, man on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    This is really *really* bad... I mean, what's to stop the hackers doing stuff to log your ip number, ftp into your machine, find security faults and then screw your machine ???
    hmmm, well, seeing as your ip flies around the net with everything you do anyway so whats the big worry, whoa i better not have an ftpserver with full access to my harddrive then.you're on the net,->you're vonerable

    Even worse, what's going to happen if these hackers happen to find the piece of data that proves that UFOs are out there ??? They could trash it and we would never know !!!

    well, good luck on finding something that isn't there... but if they found something(hyperthetically),if it was gonna make a difference, seti's information would not be relevant..

    Even worse, the hackers could get a ton of £££ somehow and when the alien data came through, launch a rocket and cause the first war of the worlds !

    nah,the first war of the worlds is decades old ( :P) it would be the second..

    I'm not sure about you, but this scares me...

    well it humours me, and even more with the fact someone is scared with a change of a filename on a very open server
    ... i certainly hope the boogieman doesn't get me...
    ...

    ok, i confess i am a long nosed brown alien, from the planet Melmac. i did this because you found me out and i want privacy :P





  11. Re:umm... on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    well, good luck, i'll just go look for the cat we don't have


    >...does bill gates birthday co-inciede with roswell does it?
    >What the hell are you talking about?
    it was a joke.. (well some sort of attempt)

  12. Re:This will cause a plauge!! on Penguin Pets · · Score: 1

    i had a goat once and when it died of malnutrition we picked it up and put it in a trashbag and placed it on the curb.

    hehehahah,i'm sorry, this had me rolling around the floor laughing

  13. Re:Penguin breeding to raise OSS/Alt OS funds? on Penguin Pets · · Score: 1

    Oi, cats are cool

  14. Re:Why penguins can't prevent making a big mess on Penguin Pets · · Score: 1

    a penguin exploding or imploding.. that would be something i'd pay to see

  15. Re:At least they didn't wipe it clean... on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    adding index.html.old works for me

  16. Re:Arrg . . . silliness on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    if i am not mistaken, the basic idea of the prime hunting was for fun. as the numbers that were found we verified on a supercomputer? (well at least something that could veryfy it within like a day or something?

    i agree with ya point about rc5, but its still something do to which will eventually be cracked.
    and its cool, being competitive against ya friend or something

  17. Re:Arrg . . . silliness on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    yea, either they are as brainless as a rock (why arn't they ever portrayed as dumb in movies) or are super brainy and decide to kill us.. or.. in the middle where they are friendly and will come down anyway

    ...does bill gates birthday co-inciede with roswell does it?


  18. Re:Animated Alf show was great on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    yea, that was cool, along with muppets and all the other cool shows (in NZ at least) that gave us good reasons to get up early every saturday morning... now theres no reason to turn ya TV on.

    oh.. i mean no, i don't have a clue what you're talking about :p

  19. Re:Sound Effect: Loud Raspberry on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    i'm sure they will anyway, just add index.html.old to their url at it'll be surfing as usual

  20. Re:Arrg . . . silliness on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    to crack 64 as you said. but looking at noise in space, i'm yet to see the point in that?

  21. Re:Seti on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    whoops, i meant i'd compare him/her to someone who puts a poster on a door. and they also had enuff decincy(sp?) to tell us where the orig is

  22. Re:Seti on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    you are the one comparing him/her to a terrorist..
    what i would compare him to is a humourous poster on a door. cos if you look around you'll see that nothing else has seemed to be effected

  23. Re:Funny. on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    nah, easyier than that. all they need to do is to rename index.html.old back to index.html, nothing else has seemed to be effected

  24. Re:Arrg... perhaps Gordon Schumway knows... on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 2

    most likely, seeing as Gordon Schumway is Alf's name on his home planet.
    perhaps Alf and ET got on their computer (which according to ID4 is compatible with the Mac) and thought they might drop some hints...
    have they logged their ip? cos it could be past 255 (like in the movie 'the net').
    0-255 reserved for earth, and the rest for the aliens... :P

  25. Re:Arrg . . . silliness on Seti@HOME Cracked By Aliens? · · Score: 1

    RC5 cracking is something which makes use of the unused cpu cycles. and that has some real use
