  1. Re:Hours on Coders Say Yes To Telecommuting, No To Ping Pong · · Score: 1

    Mod that up as insightful or informative.

    I always find that I work better at 2:35AM (like it is now), even after being out all night. I do not like mornings.

    Apart from the odd meeting, what differece does it make if that printf("Hello, World!"); comes at 10AM or 1AM?

  2. What does this mean for on Guinness Beer Really Sucks · · Score: 1

    What does this mean for sites like www.microsith.com, and even worse, http://www.mslinux.org?

  3. Guinness on Guinness Beer Really Sucks · · Score: 1

    I might search on Guinness and turn up a "-sucks" website, and then I might actually be curious and click on it, thereby depriving the real Guinness of my eyeballs

    Rumors about any page mentioning Sir Alec Guinness being forced to have a large disclaimer, and popup the guiness site, are unfounded.

    So when I next get a first post I'll have to look up "first, 1337 and petrified" in a dictionary (of course, if I cant spell it in the first place!

  5. Re:Napster on Indrema vs Xbox vs PS2 · · Score: 1

    Yeah I was wondering about that. Is the dvd player open source - or is the decoder hardware based?

    Will iredema games run on a normal linux box?

    A built in MP3 jukebox is all very well, but does this thing have napster?

    Yep, sure does, right after installing it for the first time. Any open mid I had was lost in a fit of giggles

    Hmm, what timezone *is* GMT-4? Somewhere in Brazil, or maybe greenland I'd guess

    Perhaps /. has moved from america because of fear of the Nuclear fallout?

  9. Re:Need to change clock multipliers? on AMD's DDR-Capable 760 Chipset Reviewed X3 · · Score: 1

    That would make sense, if they no longer support the older ship's FSB. Of course, many overclockers run iwth a higher FSB and/or multiplier.

    I've never truely understood the athlon bus speed though, nor why you need a 300W PSU, new memory etc. etc.

  11. Athlon is leaping ahead on AMD's DDR-Capable 760 Chipset Reviewed X3 · · Score: 1

    My next processor is likely to be something arround a 1GHz P3, perhaps in a years time, however I wont be buying another intel motherboard at this rate, with Athlon outperforming on price and performance.

    Most people I know have already jumped ship.

    I dont look forward to buying new RAM, a new motherboard and a new processor when the time comes though.

    Antartica, April 1 2007, 15:12

    Microsofts 18th, and final, appeal against the DOJ ruling was rejected today. A distraught Bill Gates strode out of the court this morning and was seen heading straight for a local internet cafe.

    2 minutes later every nuclear missile on the planet launched, while all anti-nuke defences blue screened, many cities were laid waste to. CNN's daily broadcast of "linux - the future, now", was cut short by an unexplained illegal operation.

    Mr Gates was unavaiilable for comment, however a spokesman for Microsoft stated that this was a tragic accident, probably caused by incompatibility between the few remaining NT servers, and any non microsoft software.

    You know I'm still pissed about the romans invading britain, perhaps I should moan at the italians now.

    In fact, I think that Og hit my great great great great ..... great great great grandfather over the head with a club, and Og is releated to you, so you owe me all that extortion money you got from your last employer.

    If someone scrawls some racist/sexist/agist/classist/anti microsoft slogan to a bridge, can you sue the council? No! (Well, I hope not). You tell them its tehir, they remove it.

    Everytime anything to do with decss is posted on /., a load of +5 informative posts pop up with the code. Slashdot refuse to take them off.

    If someone decided to post some key code to windows here, would it be kept on the server? How many nanoseconds would it take before 200,000 lawyers shut the site down?

    Since when do viruses appear in text files? When I type "vi LIFE-STAGES.TXT", will my computer explode?

    In windows, if you share (for example), your mp3 directory, as world readable, is there an exploit?

    A healthy dose of paranoia is acceptable, but is it worth reducing usablility?

    A much nicer security method is to decide who shouldnt have access, rather then who should.
