  1. And... on Intel Releases "Fastest Chip Ever" · · Score: 1

    You can use it as a furnace. The other ones were just good as space heaters :)

    (Shouldn't they be making "the fastest chip in the world" on an architecture that isn't horribly crappy?)

  2. Re:How very microsoftonian on Microsoft Puts SourceForge Clone Into Beta · · Score: 1

    True... I'm 14, and am significantly better at OS X coding/porting than most of the people who come to #fink on irc.freenode.net for tech support :)

  3. "Bill, we're on slashdot again!" "Shit!" on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 2, Funny

    MS just pulled that ad, and it's not in the Google cache.
    Anyone got a copy they can upload somewhere (or email it to me, i'll handle it)?

  4. Re:Fink? on Which Coding Framework for Mac OS X ? · · Score: 1

    Right, that was his point.

  5. Re:Readme for 10.2.1 Update on Mac OS X 10.2.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I once wrote a kernel extension that crashed your computer so you could see the image, but I lost it.

    Sometimes you can trigger a panic with a 'sudo kill -SEGV 2', but that may just fux it enough to not let you reboot and not do a full panic.

  6. Re:Readme for 10.2.1 Update on Mac OS X 10.2.1 Released · · Score: 1

    It should be in /Library/Logs/panic.log (unless it's /var/log/panic.log, can't remember).
    It'll only get written if the panic didn't mess up the filesystem code in the kernel.

  7. Re:Readme for 10.2.1 Update on Mac OS X 10.2.1 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    * Addresses various potential kernel panic situations.

    Now all the users won't get to see the nifty "You need to reboot your computer" image....

  8. Re:what if you delete .cvspass? on KDE Ported to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... maybe we should add that to the FAQ.

  9. Re:Nice! on KDE Ported to Mac OS X · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Alright, I remember my password now :) To clarify: I am both on the Fink and the KDE-Darwin project. I can't get to KDE-Darwin CVS right now because my SSH keys are messed up at OpenDarwin.

  10. Re:It's simple. That's it. on Why So Many Mac Fanatics? · · Score: 1

    On #5:
    I've heard several people use the phrase "Reality Distortion Field" in conjunction with Steve Jobs. He's too charismatic. It's annoying.

  11. Re:Here's why on Why So Many Mac Fanatics? · · Score: 1

    Errr, I thought pico was a text editor... (with a nasty habit of hard wrapping things when you don't want it to). I'm a complete Unix newbie (longtime Mac user, discovered Fink, and read lots of man pages), and pico is a LOT easier to use than emacs or vi.

    Yes, I know it's asleep.

  13. Re:Bungie.net are a bunch of fucking nazis on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Right, I'm going to sic the Webmaster on you.

  14. Re:Don't forget the original... on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    As a developer for Aleph One (and a mapmaker for M1A1) , I think I'll add some stuff...

    1. The Mac OS X version doesn't work very well; however, the stuff in CVS works great.

    2. M1A1 is now available for the SDL version of Aleph, too.

  15. Re:not so fast on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Take2 Interactive owns Myth, yes, but Bungie still owns the metaserver.

  16. Re:They do claim that it's open source on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    And that's the meaning I usually use. It's just a matter of semantics.

  17. Re:linux? on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Yes, it runs on Linux (Mandrake 8.1, I believe).
    See http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/09/21/154925 1

  18. Re:We may be seeing a Myth 3 server soon. on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Marius.net is already hosting a Myth: TFL and Myth 2 server, not based on this code.

  19. Re:why stop there? on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    I should have added "...or any OS with a Berkeley sockets implementation".

  20. Re:Why Spam is Right on CA Appeals Court Upholds Spam Law · · Score: 0

    It's HipCrime!

    I should think of something useful to post.

  21. Re:MAC OS X??? on LindowsOS Marches On · · Score: 0

    So, an OS running Linux and Windows programs reminds you of a BSD4.4/Mach1.4/Darwin OS that runs BSD,MacOS(Carbon),and OpenStep(Cocoa)?

    Sort of, but the MacOS X people had access to the code for NeXT and Classic MacOS. Lindows doesn't have Windows code.

  22. Re:Looks very yummy... on First Review of Halo · · Score: 0

    Bungie is fairly independent from Microsoft. Halo for PC and Mac WILL be released when they say it will.
    Don't make me get Matt Soell on your case.

  23. Stop panicking! on iTunes 2.0 Installer Deletes Hard Drives · · Score: 0

    It only deletes hard drives with spaces in their names :)
    For all the rest, it just wipes the privileges so that only root can see them.
    A simple
    cd /Volumes/whatever;sudo du;
    will tell you what happened.

  24. why isn't this article a yro? on Report Security Problems, Face The Consequences · · Score: 1

    It's definitly more of one than the article below it..
