  1. Re:Awright... on New Sandman Book and Signing · · Score: 2

    I agree. Those are my top 2 as well.

  2. Re:Zounds. on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 1

    They will be up later on.

  3. Re:Donations? on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 3

    Red Cross is also amazing - I highly recommend Habit as well. Please - everyone take the time to check your fire safety, and make sure you know how to get it. Buy a fire-proof safe. And contribute to causes around you - tithing is a good idea, regardless of religion/creed.

  4. Re:Wow, sorry.... on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 2

    Thanks - I've got my parents close by, so I might crash there. Until I wanna by on my own.

  5. Re:Donations? on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 2

    Thanks - I'll take good words, but you are right - I've got stuff under control. Now, if it's irreplacable data - I'll ask.

  6. Re:The most important question on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 1

    Nope - all of the computers are in the office *whew*.

  7. Note: I am Insured. So is Nate. on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 5

    No one got hurt - and thank you for the kind words.

  8. Re:Wanted: Nano-Parts on Haptic Feedback Nanomanipulator · · Score: 1

    They're on the same pipe as metalab - I don't think they'll *notice*. *grin*

  9. Re:OT: Intelligence test on Slashdot Introduces YRO · · Score: 1

    7 is right. And you're score is 1. No worries.

  10. Re:Another Great Episode on Geeks in Space 7: Cardboard Box · · Score: 2

    More like a refrigator box. Double sided doors, so it was the luxury box.

  11. Re:Moderated down.. on Review: GTK+/Gnome Application Development · · Score: 2

    Other distros would be, if they made as much press. We only post what we can link to-and we only get work with the submissions. As it is, GTK is submitted 6 to 1 over Qt, Red Hat by as much as other distros.

  12. We agree. Sorta on Review: The First 20 Million is Always the Hardest · · Score: 1

    Oh, I think this book did have some classical moments, and that Benoit is a great character. But a string of good scenes, scattered across a void of flatness does not a good book make. That's why I said there's part of a good book in there, because it's there. It's just weight down with a vast majority of not-so-good.

  13. Re:'the world writ large'? on Review: The First 20 Million is Always the Hardest · · Score: 0

    Hmm...I do have an interesting choice of words and phrases. Spent too much time reading primary source material as a history major, probably.

  14. Re:disclaimer:Hemos owns shares in Red Hat on What if Red Hat bought SCO? · · Score: 1

    Um....no. First of all, because it's stupid/cenorship, and quite frankly, no comments here are going to make any difference to the stock.

    Also, the SEC would put anyone who did that in jail/big fines.

  15. Shares won't show up until the evening on "The Word" from E*Trade About the RH IPO · · Score: 1

    So, if you think you've got shares, wait until this evening to check out whether you got the shares or not. Due to SEC regulations, they can't give the shares out until they've talked to everyone about the price. Don't panic yet.

  16. Still Trying on Metcalfe claims Linux Can't Beat Win2000 · · Score: 1

    to beat the next one.

  17. Discworld on Review:The Science of Discworld · · Score: 1

    The series that is based from is excellent-it always makes me laugh.

  18. Re:end of an era on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1

    I don't suppose there's much point in responding anymore, but...
    I'm sorry you feel that way. What that means is that your estimation of our intelligence is incredibly low. We've done what had to be done, and we've got the contracts we want. If they do want to vote us out-fine. dotslash starts, and we do the same thing. believe me-we've got a nice situation.

  19. Re:What happens if Andover.Net sells Slashdot? on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1
    Bankrupt: We can move on to other stuff.


    They have a /really/ hard time firing us. The lawyers we got our really really good. We do have goals, but they are achievable, and fit within our overall vision. Basically, we can't commit felonies, other then that and we're fine.

  20. Re:URL Change ? on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1

    Source will be open. If they fire us, we start dotslashdot. And we had /really good/ lawyers-it's all on paper.

  21. Re:Advertising control? on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1

    Yep-we do. Creative Control Clause for us.

  22. Re:Business is hard; good call. on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1

    Our contractis inviolate-so we'd be fine, no matter who bought them. We'll always be us.

  23. Re:Mirrors in Europe and elsewhere? on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1

    Hey, you guys have coasts. :)
    Yes, there will be mirrors coming to Europe, as well as more European posters.

  24. Missing the Point on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 5

    It's not about the possibility that more money could have been made. It's about not having taken a vacation for over two years, and working 70+ hours per week. We're not business people, and didn't want to swim with the sharks (VCs). We're happy-and we've got control.

    Well, the site's on T3. It's us that's on the damn single channel.
