  1. Re:Request to Slashdot editors on Slashback: Pong, Economics, Stability · · Score: 1

    You must've copied that from the last slashback, since it's been a while.

  2. Re:I'm wondering... on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 1

    Not sure, but it sounds like Monty Python (the roman emperor in The Life of Brian).

  3. Re:Duplicate? on Russian May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 1

    of course you can. the real question is, will you make it across intact.

  4. That's what I used to think... on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 1

    That's what I usually do when on a remote computer, but it won't work all the time. A couple of months ago, for example, I was stationed at Ft. Lee (VA) for two weeks, and the security on those computers was completely airtight (menus were disabled, you couldn't download anything, you couldn't browse the hard drive and run programs even with the SaveAs trick). Gmail worked just fine however, as any other webmail would have. It was nice to have that option available, that's all.

  5. Re:Neat on Bash 3.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Download curl, then you can do stuff like

    curl http://hugetractsofland.com/{amy,crystal}/[01-05]/ img[1-99].jpg -o "#1#2-#3.jpg"

    The perfect command....which I've yet to find a use for. um..yeah.

  6. Re:Motives on RIAA Forgets to Make Royalty Payments · · Score: 1

    Nah, he's talking about the Hell's Grannies episode.

  7. Re:Good vs. Bad on CA Secretary of State Bans Diebold Machines · · Score: 1

    I'm a Diebold stockholder, you insensitive clod!

  8. Re:Stickdeath link for Lazy click people =) on Legodeath - Twisted Lego Constructs · · Score: 1

    Help! I'm too lazy to click!

  9. In other news... on Australian Argues for Freedom of Mooning · · Score: 5, Funny

    Australian authorities have released the goatse guy, who was in their custody after an incident involving a passing police car, a jelly doughnut, and a koala bear.

  10. Re:Keanu Reeves typecasting hell on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 1

    It's probably The Watcher.

  11. Re:I've placed an order on Rabbits' Male Members Grown In Labs · · Score: 1

    I don't know, dude. 5" is very average.

  12. Re:Sade?? on A User's First Look at GNOME 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Heh. For a moment I thought you meant Marquis de Sade. Well, considering some of these UI interfaces, I guess that's not too far from the truth. :)

  13. Re:after such a long process on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    Well, if it's of any help, I'm using 1.0rc1 on windows and I installed the calendar from http://mozilla.org/projects/calendar/

  14. Re:There are a few applications for write-only mem on April 1, 1972: Write Only Memory · · Score: 1

    Still. You input your password and the black box compares it with
    the internal password. Letting you know the results of the comparison
    contradicts the assumption that the device is write-only (by reading
    at least one bit of information). That's what he was saying.

  15. Re:No, you're not alone. Gladly condur on this one on Are Computer Graphics A Fine Art? · · Score: 2

    I believe this is the slashdot article you mentioned.
    (For the goatse paranoid: http://slashdot.org/articles/00/10/17/1152230.shtm l).
    I have to agree with you there. That is a fine example of computer art.

  16. Re:GPLed multiplayer? on OpenQuartz: A GPLed 3D Shooter · · Score: 1

    Right.

    But he was trying to say that in this case, you can't trust the server. If your complying client connects to the cheater's specially compiled server he'll be able to to cheat regardless, even if he too was running a complying client. For example, the server could recognize his ip and give him infinite ammo.

  17. Re:Watch it live... on The Quickly Descending Unix Timestamp · · Score: 1
    or even better:

    while sleep 1; do echo -ne "The time is near: `date +%s`\r"; done
  18. Re:Duh on Bush Won't Be "The Online President" · · Score: 1

    Those emails would be classified, as they are a matter of national security.

  19. Re:George Dubya use encryption? I don't think so on Bush Won't Be "The Online President" · · Score: 4

    Er..this isn't about encryption. That would just prevent any middleman from intercepting and reading his emails while they are being sent. It's the fact that the emails he sends thru Government networks become public record, and so people can request them thru the Freedom of Information Act. He'd be required by law to give up his encryption keys.

  20. Re:Recent MS break in? on Interbase Backdoor, Secret for Six Years, Revealed in Source · · Score: 1

    he was talking about the V6 part of the parent post.

  21. Re:pr0n-O-Matic on Even More Porn Image Recognition Software · · Score: 1

    Wow. That's quite a filter there. It filters the wrong stuff though. :)

  22. Re:This is only logical. on Squatting On Life · · Score: 1

    Well, considering that the software was already written by someone else, should we still be allowed to patent the gene? I guess we can go off patenting half a microsoft dll and that'd be ok. Right?
