  1. Next time, write it in Perl on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 5, Funny

    If these functions were implemented in Perl, they would be guaranteed to look different than the System V!

  2. Re:Conga drums? on Not Donkey Kong, But.. Donkey Konga? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Why don't they do something worthwhile, like a standard Mario-style platformer (something Nintendo pretty much has yet to accomplish on GC)?

    Maybe because it's been done a million times before?

    I don't get why Nintendo is the butt of every criticism in the game industry. They're either:

    • condemned for making the same "franchise" games over and over.
    • condemned for deviating from the norm.


    Does anybody remember the Sega game Samba de Amigo, you know, the game with maraca controllers? That game was critically acclaimed, yet it never had commercial success in America. Game companies want to create the summer blockbuster, not the art film. Thankfully, Nintendo, Sega, and Namco are still willing to take risks.
  3. SCO check? on IBM Countersues SCO, And More! · · Score: 1

    I already have that program for free... it's called grep

    cd /usr/src/linux
    grep -n "SCO" *

  4. Story not posted from Gentoo 1.4 on Gentoo 1.4 Final Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Obviously this story was not posted from Gentoo 1.4, unless it was compiled on a 16-way machine or something.

  5. Re:IBM in the apple.slashdot.org section ? on Ars Technica Interviews 970 Designers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Strange... the eight bar logo lines up with the aqua-style bars perfectly.

    conspiracy!

  6. Matrix? on Linux vs. SCO: The Decision Matrix · · Score: 5, Funny

    Morpheus: SCO is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your operating system. Or when you boot your AIX box. You can feel it when you surf the web. When you compile your kernel. When you mount your filesystems. It is the lawsuit that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

  7. Re:Which formats are the most durable? on Video Codec Comparison · · Score: 5, Informative

    Fully standards compliant mpeg4. It's not going to look nearly as good as XviD or DivX5, but it will be "durable."

  8. Re:QuickTime is Evil on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I just tried it in Xine and Mplayer. Xine plays it perfectly with sound and video. Mplayer does just video. YMMV

  9. Re:Someone proposed this in the last 2600... on Simpson's Cast On Bravo This Sunday · · Score: 1

    You're talking about a software tv tuner? What software supports file input? I guess you could make some fake V4L device.

  10. Re:Not Simpsons related, but..... on Simpson's Cast On Bravo This Sunday · · Score: 1

    Very interesting thought. I'd really like to know this too!

  11. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Xbox Losses Double, Xbox Shrinks · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    These jokes are old even in Soviet Russia.

  12. Re:It better come with on Warner Brothers Announce The Matrix: Special Edit · · Score: 1

    That would be kinda cool. Like a Blue and Red jelly bean or something!

  13. Re:Bust a Move Rip Off? on Snood, the Simple Game · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Yeah, I remember Snood... back when it was called BUST A MOVE

  14. Re:Check out MythTV!!! on Windows XP Media Center Edition Review · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This Website has some good info on how to build a Myth box. I believe you can also buy one from them if you're lazy :)

  15. Re:Serious question... on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    They say on their website that they maintain an x86 port just to ensure that their code is relatively portable - not really for our benefit.

  16. The Geek Party? on The Rise and Fall of the Geek · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Since when has being a geek been political? Granted, I agree with the majority on Slashdot on certain issues, but not with others. I thought geekdom was about a love for technology.

    If being a geek means I'm some kind of political activist hippie, count me out.

  17. Re:Transparency? on KDE 3.1 Beta Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I believe it just takes a quick screen shot to create the transparency effect. It does cause a little lag to render the transparency, but I do like the effect. It's not enough of a lag to be annoying on my 850MHz PC.

  18. God on Godzilla Getting Ready to Stomp Mozilla? · · Score: 5, Funny

    On a related note, God decides to sue Toho for using the word "God" without His permission.

  19. Re:Totally OT on New Power Mac G4s Announced · · Score: 2

    Yep.

  20. Oh yeah! on New Power Mac G4s Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    I never knew that I could be sexually attracted to a computer!

  21. It's not the Borgs.... on When Brains Meet Computer Brawn · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not the Borgs, it's the Borg!

    Do not underestimate an angry mob of Trek fans!

  22. Re:Ah... I thougt it was just me on Hacker Survey · · Score: 1

    cat code.cpp > /dev/dsp

  23. Re:Bill still goes to the bank on Xbox Runs Its First Legal Homebrew App · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I don't know how this is a "troll." So much for the power of the purse, we're helping Microsoft!

  24. Re:How Can MS Effectively Prosecute This? on Xbox Runs Its First Legal Homebrew App · · Score: 2

    At least running 26 miles ensures that you're in good physical condition.

    Sitting behind a soldering iron all day only guarantees a shirt full of burn holes :)

  25. Re:I declare Sue-War on Baby Bells! on Baby Bells Open to Antitrust Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Right now! I got the RIAA's, Microsoft's and O.J.'s lawyers. Should be interesting.

    You mean they're in the same room? Quick, someone hack into a DoD computer and launch the nukes!
