  1. Re:Mod this up! on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 1

    Don't call people you don't know idiots. I'm Russian, I thought others could be interested in the translation. That's it.


  2. Russian meaning on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 3

    If anyone is curious, 'Zvezda' means 'Star' in Russian, 'Zarya' means 'Dawn'.

    just my .02$


  3. Re:YOPY Go Home on New YOPY Screenshots · · Score: 1

    if you were in an accident, for example, you could send a memo to the hospital.

    Haha. If you were in an accident you would not be able to send anything. Type recognition works like magic when your hand (head, spine, legs, fingers...) is broken. :)

  4. Yopy links (FULL) on New YOPY Screenshots · · Score: 3
  5. Another site on New YOPY Screenshots · · Score: 2

    You can find out more (including price) at This site

  6. Box blown to bits on Geek Flavor · · Score: 1

    I would not be surprised if his Sun box could not handle all the /. pressure. Oh, you guys! It was an opportunity to take it slowly, tenderly. It could be the new something... vandals! :)

  7. Re:Format on Geek Flavor · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about root access? Does this username have it?

    Oh, and don't take 'format c:' literally. I meant any bad script.


  8. Somebody is cracking on Geek Flavor · · Score: 1

    Broadcast Message from ??? (pts/7) on vux2 Tue Jul 25 08:01:44... Hmm, root is editing /etc/passwd... Wonder why ;)

    I rest my case. Just read. :)

    Poor guy, poor computer. Good idea though.

    The host should've been called 'Slashdot Challenge'

    :)
  9. And now that somebody changed the index.html on Geek Flavor · · Score: 1

    Nobody else knows the login/password to the website. I wonder if /. is going to put up some mirrors of this web site with full access as well? :)

  10. Ha, only 3 minutes and already on Geek Flavor · · Score: 2

    Somebody just fscked it up:
    "r0x0r" - that's the content of the index page.
    Good luck.

  11. Format on Geek Flavor · · Score: 1

    Simply place all html files in the /htdocs directory, and cgi scripts in the /cgi-bin directory.

    What is somebody wants to put a 'format c:' script in there or something else very malicious. What's then?


  12. Dual G4 in a cube. on Slashback: Recusement, Homecoming, Cubism · · Score: 1
    Dual G4 in a cube.

    This is wrong. There can be only one processor. For Dual G4 you would still need the same big box.

    The thing that bothers me the most is that all those Mac designer guys in my company are going to be even more obnoxious. Stupid.


  13. Downloading on Indianapolis Restricts Display Of Violent Games · · Score: 1

    What about downloading a new Quake Arena Demo or something? How would they want to regulate that?

    This is really upsetting that some people in Indiana are so stupid they pass this law. Grow up and don't live in the past! This is similar to having the law in one of the states that you can't have doggy style sex.

    This sucks!

  14. This is stupid on Interesting Way To Protest Napster · · Score: 1

    This is also called as a Napster bomb.. but don't those people understand that this thing is not going to last, it is not going to propogate itself and replace the good versions. Yep, somebody will waste time downloading this cuckoo song, but think of how many people are out there with cable? That guy will have to allow a high amount of uploads to prove anything.

    Another thing is that he, that person would be the only one on the internet to offer this, nobody else would do that.

    Oh, and the guy is going to get banned by Metallica or Dr. Dre pretty soon because they would scan for their songs and will find them on his/her server and will not know that he/she's doing them a favor... Ha-ha.

  15. Very very funny on Slashback: Buzzwords, Fruit, DIY · · Score: 1

    Go eat a carrot.

  16. Broken Link on Slashback: Buzzwords, Fruit, DIY · · Score: 1

    That joke isn't funny any more. A number of readers wrote in with harsh words about the report that Apple forced the removal of rumors regarding an alleged next-generation translucent-cased machine.

    The link points to http://slashdot.org and not to what it supposed to. Please fix.

  17. Such people/companies should be punished. on Web Site "Lock-In" · · Score: 1

    This is one of the most annoying features. Could there be some law issued against that? Somebody's got to do something about that.

  18. Re:Sure, it's not important for you, but... on ITU Agrees On V.92 standard · · Score: 1

    where Linux users can't actually USE the local DSL provider's system because the proprietary logon software is Windows only...)

    Try using Samba.


  19. More juice for us on ITU Agrees On V.92 standard · · Score: 1

    Less household people will have cables the more bandwidth our providers give us. Already in some cities @Home is almost as slow as 56k modem. :)

  20. Cluster on IBM Constructs New Fastest Computer · · Score: 1

    Why can't they use like a 1000-unit cluster of linux? That would do the trick.

  21. UofT Sucks!!! on Two Scoops Of Wearable Computers · · Score: 1

    This comes from Toronto, people. York University rulezzz, your University sucks.. Get real and become less uptight, your parties suck. That is not a f***ing achievement to do this wearable computer stuff... Try passing MATH2090. Bye

  22. F#%k MediaEnforcer on Gnutella Copyright Enforcement? · · Score: 1

    Those bastards should be neutered. C'mon, why would someone want to create an app like that?

    All digital goods will become free on the net, deal with it, people, and try to think of some other way to make money. Leave the MP3s alone!!!

    MediaEnforcer people should be ashamed of themselves, they can not be called programmers.

  23. Re:OOP on Who's Afraid Of C++? · · Score: 1

    You have to let yourself grow out of the boundaries of procedural programming. I agree that all these programs are in C > 1000 lines and are good, because the programmers who wrote them are gurus.
    OOP is a real way to design smart programs, so that they will be trully extendable and modular. C'mon, casting, inheretance, you need all this and it does make your life easier.

    I admit that not everyone is as smart as you or those other C programmers are, but programming should not be a challenge that only you can do, it should be a mean of doing something useful.

  24. Not true on Who's Afraid Of C++? · · Score: 1

    Ok, here's the case. My dad is not a programmer, but he wants to be one. I would love to recommend this book for him, to learn how to code. But, I am afraid C++ syntax will be too hard for him, where else Java would be just fine. And he wants to become a Java programmer, so he does not really need to know another language. And you have to understand, that after reading this book he'll have a lot of mess in his head about C++, although he will not be able to program in it - you'll need more time then that, at least a year to become decent. They should've just chosen some obscure language such as Turing or even Eiffel for teaching. They are much simpler, and easy to transpose to other languages. C++ is just way too hard. Really. Just to mention, I know C++ pretty good.

  25. OOP on Who's Afraid Of C++? · · Score: 1

    Object Oriented Programming man.. that's what it is all about. Classes, inheritance, good stuff. Without it, it is hard to write programs which are greater than 1000 of lines.
