  1. Industrial song titles on Knuth Releases Another Part of Volume 4 · · Score: 2, Funny
    I bet Fear Factory would kill to have song titles like the names of Knuths chapters:

    decoding the octacode

    Gray binary clusters of subcubes

    medians of bit strings

    Gray fields

    constructing large-gap codes

    an infinite Gray path that fills n-dimensional space

    loopless generation of fence-poset ideals

  2. Imagine ... on One-Machine Linux Cluster · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Imagine a Beowolf cluster of these!

  3. Re:Uh oh... on Xena To Join X-Files · · Score: 1

    ...and according to this Norwegian tabloid newspaper that is just what's in store...

  4. Re:Listen!! on Insanely Audiophile · · Score: 1


    The thing is, most people have never tried heroin (or other opiates). So it's easy for them to dismiss it as people blowing money.

  5. anagrams on 2001 Book Author Responds · · Score: 1
    TMA-One could also be permuted into "Monate", which is plural for "month" in German.

    This either shows that the anagram theory is far fetched, or further supports the "God Birth" mentioned in the answer to the review...

  6. Re:I have read one similar to this on The Three Hat Problem · · Score: 1
    This is a trick!

    The three men should have paid 25 dollars, but were cheated for 2 dollars by the woman behind the counter. Therefore, the 2 dollars should be subtracted from the 27 to equal 25, not added to 27 to equal 30.

    =)

    I believe you forgot an 0 there! Login : slashdot2000 pass : slashdot2000 Worked for me!

  8. A real shame on Internet Ad Network Commentary · · Score: 1

    Lowtax made lots of content for his site, excellent satire on the gaming scene and some real funny characters (JeffK will not be forgotten). I'm sad he's probably gonna quit this.

  9. Re:Norwegian Hotmail Service? on Norway Bans Spam · · Score: 1

    Try this one: start.no It's in Norwegian, could be a problem...

    Partial translation

    Be careful who you give your email address. If you participate in news groups, mailing lists or competitions on game sites, you are in the danger zone.

    "Spam" is the term for unwanted ads to your email box. Spam (pronounced "spæm") got its name from an old Monthy Python joke, where a bunch of vikings interrupt in the action singing "Spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam.

    This spam is mailed by more or less ruthless business people hoping to sell services and merhandise. The method is flooding your mail box with offers.

    Illegal in many countries
    Spam is illegal in many countries, and on the 1st of March Norway will get one of the strictest regulations in this field, as will Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria and Italy. A new and more EU-adapted law of marketing becomes effective, and prohibits advertisements via email and SMS (text messages) unless the consumers have given their consent in advance.

    Companies violating the prohibition, will have to deal with the Forbrukerrådet (Consumers' Directorate). The reactions for breaking the new law of marketing are definitely harsher. One risks having to pay expensive tickets or having to serve up to six months in jail. Or both.

    Possibly.

    Where does this put the weapons industry? =)
