  1. Re:"Essentially" the same data? on OpenOffice Bloated? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have an old P3-500, on that machine oo's spreadsheet app takes forever to render a simple chart, no such problem with xls. Other than that I use oo often enough (I don't have ms office installed anymore)

  2. back to OT times then I guess on Humans Could Live For 1000 Years · · Score: 1

    Those early OT people had mega lifespans as well.

  3. Re:Too late for PR stunts BG on Gates Donates $15M to Preserve Computing History · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that Bill Gates is a little like Robin Hood?

  4. Re:F7 for Spellcheck! on Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Detailed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Agreed, it's a bit disrespectful to the ones that make this site (the readers/posters). Without readers/posters this site would be nothing.

  5. Just an idea... on Classed as Spam by Large-Scale Free Email Servers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have you thought of spelling viagra as V.1@gr4?

  6. Re:Days are numbered? on Guitarists, your Days are Numbered · · Score: 1

    Don't forget John Scofield. Apart from that there's tons of great players out there, just visit some local bars where they get a chance to play. Now that the hair-metal and grunge days are over the "record industry" seems to think that guitar bands aren't as profitable as britney. This doesn't mean there aren't loads of good players or bands around.

  7. Re:Ambitious targets on City of Vienna Chooses Linux · · Score: 1

    hmm, the euro symbol was lost somewhere, seems like slashdot doesn't support euro symbols.

    alt 0128 (on the numeric keypad) does the job:

  9. subject goes here on Protecting My Daughter's Notebook? · · Score: 1

    uh, you want your daughter's laptop to "phone home". Are you not just a jealous dad?

  10. Re:OH NOES! Videogames kill blue-eyed baby jesus! on Feeding Frenzy Over Violent Game · · Score: 1

    I am all for a common sense approach to violence in video games, however violence in the media does have a desensitizing effect on people (naturally children are more impressionable).
    Read this book for example if you are interested in the subject.

  11. Re:profit! on RIAA Supporting Commercial P2P · · Score: 1

    that's not p2p, just a good old pyramid scheme...

  12. Re:bush judges on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I am not an american but I have the impression that all mr. Bush has done is take "freedom" away from america whilst (the patriot act for example), furthermore it appears that he is certainly pro-big business. Keeping these things in mind I don't see how "bush judges" could have helped in this case.

  13. Re:Outlook 2003 on Where is the Killer Calendar? · · Score: 1

    there's also a nice windows version (free for personal use).

  14. Re:Fine. on Illinois Game Law Passes · · Score: 1
    "and allowing laws to ruin it for kids whos parents allow them to play said gams for certain reasons, such as proven maturity."
    You really think that not playing violent or sexually oriented games is going to ruin someone's childhood?
  15. what me first post? on Illinois Game Law Passes · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    where's the rush?

  16. Re:So that's how they did it. on Human Blood For Electrical Power · · Score: 1

    maybe the human body produces a lot of heat, but on our planet heat isn't that useful at 310 degrees K, remember the 2nd law of thermodynamics?

  17. nah on Cars that Can't Crash? · · Score: 4, Funny

    nah, the question is:
    "where do you want to go today"?

  18. Re:Indeed it is on Airbus A380 Completes Maiden Test Flight · · Score: 1

    Jet planes only get reasonable miles/gallon if you consider the number of passengers they carry.

    The maximum theoretical efficiency of jet engines is not very high. This has to do with the fact that the pressure difference (and thus temperature difference (carnot efficiency)) in axial flow turbo-machinery is limited.

    A supertanker is much much more efficient in terms of miles/gallon/tonnes transported.

  19. right on on U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country · · Score: 1, Insightful

    yeah, the global war on terror is used as an excuse for the current regimes totalitarian tendencies. You americans better read 1984.

  20. Re:This reminds me on Building a Silent, Air-Cooled System · · Score: 1

    SUV's spend their lives on congested highways, stop, go traffic is not very good for an aircooled engine.

  24. Re:Go Software Patents! on NoSoftwarePatents.com Industry Campaign Launches · · Score: 1

    Hi, I own the patent for the use of the lowercase letter "a", rates are currently $.005 for first use and $.001 for each subsequent usage. You would owe me $0.023, however since I used some of your patented mathematics in calculating what you owe me this amount is reduced by .0002 for one use of + plus .001 for use of * which makes the total, eh .0002 + .001, which brings the total on eh .0002 + .001 + .0002, which brings the total on eh .0002 + .001 + .0002+ .0002.... Ah well screw it...

  25. Re:Chess computers have ruined the game of chess. on Saitek Maestro Travel Chess Computer Review · · Score: 1

    It is not really true that "computers" are better than humans. Not all chess programs are equally good, good programs will have different strengths depending to the type of hardware they run on and the way that they are set-up. I doubt the handheld computer being reviewed has the Elo rating of say Fritz. But I suppose that it is true that some programs on some machines are better than 99%+ of all chess players.
