  1. Re:e-fired? on Radio Shack E-Fires 400 Workers · · Score: 1

    Don't be so critical. Don't you relize these guys have beta tested Win95 and WinME and have the t-shirts to prove it?

  2. Re:Windows Licenses on AMD's Dual-core Athlon 64 X2 reviewed · · Score: 1

    Acording to this month's Computer magazine Microsoft won't be charging extra for dual cores.

    "Microsoft and Novell agree and don't charge extra for using their software on multicore processors."

    "BEA Systems and Oracle, on the other hand, charge more to use their software on multicore chips for per-processor licensing."

  3. Will bring new meaning to on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 1

    Will bring new meaning to the phrase my $.02.

    Of course that will require posting 2.74 messages per day for the year.

    I am going to attempt a DivX feat of mass proportions. I am going to rip all 3 extended editions, cut the credits off the first 2, and splice them onto the end. It will awesome! A 4GB 860 minute DivX movie. Mmmmmmmmamma.

  6. VNCon on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 1

    I am suprised no one has mentioned VNCon. I use it, with RealVNC and it works excellent.

  7. Rumor has it... on IBM Introduces Biometric Thinkpad · · Score: 1

    Rumor has it that when an invalid finger print scan is detected, Windows Media Player goes into a full screen loop of old Care Bears episodes.

  8. What IBM doesn't relize... on IBM Tech Detects & Changes Spin of Single Electron · · Score: 2, Funny

    What IBM doesn't relize is that the electrons they are tampering with once passed through a SCO Unix system...

    In all the years I have been using tabbed browsing...

    As I click the link http://thorguard.com/ from above, I scared the crap out of me, and half of the IT department. I love tabbed browsing, Thanks Mozilla...

    -That's not gonna be good for anybody."

  11. Re:Shocking on Early Warning For Microsoft Premium Customers · · Score: 1

    Slashdot provides a free sevice, and "subscribers" can enjoy that free service a little bit better. If MS Windows was a free OS, and they charged "subscribers" for sooner security warnings, this wouldn't be an issue.

  12. Re:I thought of this years ago. on Broadband Blimps · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the happy airline customers that would now have a nice AP under thier feet while flying.

  13. Re:What sort of compatibility? on Y Window System Project Started · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Excerpt taken from "Y: A Successor to the X Window System" PDF, Section 10.3 Future Work.

    Legacy X Protocol Handler
    "In order to support the wealth of X applications that already exist, and to ease
    the transition from X to Y, an interpretation layer will need to be built.
    This is an excellent example of the elegance of the design of Y. The X layer
    can be implemented as an in-server driver module. This module would, upon
    initialisation, create an appropriate socket to pretend to act as an X server.
    When X applications connect to this socket, the X module would translate the
    requests into equivalent Y requests.
    One drawback of supporting the X protocol is that many of the advantages
    of Y, in particular the lightweight protocol and server-side objects, will be lost."

  14. MemTest86 on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    While it's not an "all-in-one" diag software, MemTest86 seems to find problems with memory very easily.

    When ever there is a problem with a PC I might be working on, if the problem seems sporatic, or I can't find the simple solution, I turn to MemTest86. It's free, it has one job, and it does it well.

  16. Courtney Love vs. MS on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 1

    Just like you know Courtney Love has on dirty underware, I am able to look at Microsoft and say the same thing. I'm not so sure If I even want to see how dirty Microsoft's code might be.

  17. Re:Well then build it... on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 0, Informative

    Yes, and it's called Portage. Written in Python, and uses wget to retieve AND install ANY dependants. On the fly.

  18. Gentoo Portage is closer than anything. on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 1, Informative

    I would jump on the Portage bandwagon, and continue with that effort. There already a couple projects working toward cross-distro compatibily, for instance Emerde.
    Portage has the ability to install RPM's on a Gentoo system. While not as easy as emerging from the source, it has a very wide horizon ahead of it. I am not sure aobut Portage using DEB's though.

    And I thought 12 hours of programming was the only thing that could turn your eyes to goo.

    Might as well make the font orange and the background neon yellow and really mess people up.

  22. Re:Skiing on OSDL Announces Desktop Initiative · · Score: 1

    Well, what was the reason you wanted to try snowboarding? What drove you to give 1/6th of your trip on something you weren't sure you could do or would like?

    I am only asking this because it is the same drive that brought me to Red Hat 5.2 back in 97'. I have had a pretty rough time making my Linux installations useful, and able to be productive worksatations, but there is still some kind of thurst that has me enthralled today.

    It sounds to me like your drive to try Linux wasn't to see what it was, but to see if it was better that what you already had.

    That's the reason I am still happy with my half-ass'd install of Gentoo, 7 years later.

  23. Re:Oh yay! on Mouse Gestures in Javascript · · Score: 1

    Actually, it says once you move the mouse in a 3rd direction, the gesture will be canceled. But to look down at the status bar to see when you can safely unclick your mouse button is a bit rediculous.

  24. No right-clicky... on Mouse Gestures in Javascript · · Score: 1

    Just curious if anyone else noticed you can get a "Right-click" menu window to pop-up when you are on the JavaScript enabled MouseGesture website. I really hate JavaScript sometimes.
