  1. Microsoft is the pimp on A Glimpse At Apple's New Core · · Score: 2

    The big pimp Microsoft keeps the old Mac ho alive with a weak, but steady stream of addictive crack applications. Without the pimp's apps, the old ho will die. The new Be ho (like the Netscape ho. remember her?) tried to bitch slap the pimp. BIG MISTAKE! Da pimp withheld his crack apps.

    This is real.

  2. he meant shitty SMP support, not no SMP support on Why iptables (Linux 2.4 Firewalling) Rocks · · Score: 2

    FreeBSD SMP support is akin to Linux 2.0 in 1996! FreeBSD uses a BFL (big fuckin' lock). Sure FreeBSD 5.0 might include experimental Linux 2.2 (1998) SMP support merged from BSDi code, but when will that be? 2002?

  3. I forgot to mention TUX and khttpd battling IIS on mSQL: It's Baaaccckkkkk · · Score: 2

    Linux kernel developers are adding kernel-space performance boosts to compete against IIS' (supposed?) kernel-space file redirector.

  4. Linux? on mSQL: It's Baaaccckkkkk · · Score: 3

    The best open source projects have a monopoly, and suck all the development effort for that field - The Kernel and Apache for example.

    By "The Kernel", do you mean Linux? Remember that Linus choice to create a Linux, even though Minix and FreeBSD already existed. If he had felt, like you do, that competition is a waste of time, there would be no Linux today. If software monopoly is so great, then why was Minix (or Windows) not good enough to meet Linus' needs way back when?

    And not all "open source competition" is from other open source projects. Linux 2.4 has performance improvements because of competition from Windows 2000. Apache 2.0 is introducing a new threading model because of competition from IIS.

  6. FreeBSD 5.0? on Learn From Robert Watson Of FreeBSD And TrustedBSD · · Score: 2

    the entire kernel is being multi-threaded for 5.0, to provide fine grained SMP support.

    Where can I find more info about plans for FreeBSD 5.0? Is 5.0 include the integration of BSDI code? Freebsd.org doesn't seem to mention much.

  7. Plug n play? on Ladies And Gentlemen, Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    you'll need to know specific model numbers and such for just about everything in your system that you want to get working properly; you can consult the files under /proc to get just about every bit of information you need

    If /proc knows "everything" about your hardware, why can't Linux plug n play everything? Why can't Linux installer autodetect all your hardware?

  8. ICMP changes in Linux 2.4? on Ladies And Gentlemen, Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    I read something from David S Miller on linux-kernel that Linux 2.4 broke some network apps because 2.4 no longer returns some ICMP error messages if it receives an unexpected UDP packet for a port which has no socket listening. These apps must depend on a UDP timeout (or something).

  9. BMG-inspired negative click buying on Ladies And Gentlemen, Linux 2.4 · · Score: 2

    Like those annoying BMG CD clubs, if you DON'T click the button they will send you your "purchases". You must return them if you don't want them.

  16. crack on Apple Sues Freetype - NOT (updated) · · Score: 1

    industrial America was on a corporate crack-high at the time, and thought this was A-OK.

    The USA is still a corportist state. The information revolution is the crackbaby of the industrial revolution. The US gub'mint is flat broke and must suck the dick of the rich corporations for pocket change.

  17. but on Apple Sues Freetype - NOT (updated) · · Score: 1

    everyone knows that the moderators will mod you up if you say "I'll probably get modded down for this." The moderators don't want to seem unduly unfair or spiteful, so they mod it up. It's a reverse-psychology, pseudo-blackmail strategy.

  19. gold diggers. on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 3

    when these girls grow a few years older and magically discover that their drunken pot-bellied Mcdonalds-employee frat boy can't support them, they move on to the real guys... the ones that they never seemed to notice were there.



    These women are called gold diggers.

  20. Tao of Steve on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 4

    I'm nice, warm, caring -- exactly what these women are looking for (I'm generalising, of course, but this is what I've been told.) and yet they can't see the forest for the trees.

    If you treat your female friends as friends, they will treat you the same. You have to bite the bullet and ask someone out on a date. Unfortunately, men are still usually expected to pursue their mates. Let her know you are a Man while making her feel like a Woman. Women want someone who's a friend and a worthy mate. It's all biological. You've passed the friendship test, now you have to prove you are a worthy mate. This is where "jerks" and "bad boys" succeed. If you're afraid to risk your friendship, consider this: you already have because you think of her as more than just a friend.

    The highly recommended film TAO OF STEVE demonstrates how to prove yourself a worthy mate:

    The Tao, of course, can be loosely translated as The Way. Steve refers to the quintessential cool American male: Steve McGarrett (of "Hawaii Five-0"), Steve Austin (of "The Six Million Dollar Man") and, ultimately, Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape." The Tao of Steve relies on three essential steps. First, you must eliminate all desire for the woman. Second, do something "excellent" in her presence to make yourself desirable. Then, retreat -- and wait for her to pursue.

    good luck!
