  1. From the /. perspective.... on The Evolution of Linux · · Score: 2

    Just how many new SIGs are going to come from this one thread?

    -Spackler

    I'm not claiming to be deep, I'm claiming to do it for fun. -Linus

  2. Chicks? on DreamHack Winter 2002 · · Score: 5, Funny

    All 7 women in the room have strategically placed laptops right next to the door, for quick exits.

  3. Well... on Digital Sound Editing Under Unix? · · Score: 1

    This is probably not the answer most /.ers would give you. I use CoolEdit, and I found it performed MUCH better and was MUCH more stable under Win2K. That is assuming that you are using hardware that performs well. An app like CoolEdit is not going to do much on a Pentium Pro, no matter how good the OS is.

  4. Amd? on Intel Cites Breakthrough In Transistor Design · · Score: 5, Funny

    It goes on to say that Intel plans to present two major elements of the new "AMDhurtz" transistor structure at the International Electron Device Meeting in Washington on Dec. 3.

  5. For the guy who has everything! on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 3, Funny


    Osama bin Laden's nuts on a stick planted at ground zero!

    ~price = $25,000,000

  6. From the pictures... on MAME On Xbox · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you notice in the pictures, he only has one cup of Starbucks on the desk. If he was truly 1337, he would have had one for each hand. Then we could have seen this running on a normal Xbox!

  7. Hey on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "...where you see Sun machines, IBM, etc and ask them what they running on those machines"

    Fess up Linus, you wrote this, didn't you?

  8. Re:Dropping the standards? on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 1

    MCSE - Damn, missed preview again!

  9. Dropping the standards? on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 4, Funny

    First they want to be a hacker with no recourse.
    Now they want to be a "script kiddie".
    What's next, they'll want to be an MSCE?

  10. Re:Have you seen the download page for Sol 9? on No GNOME For Solaris 9 · · Score: 2

    I don't think my work would like me downloading the 700 MB worth of image files.

    You aren't kidding! Why can't they learn from those nice svelte linux iso download. What's Mandrake, 30 or 40 meg?

    Oh, 1800 for the whole dist? I'll just take the 600 meg install CD, thanks.

  11. It's all clear... on Linus to speak on "The Origins of Linux" · · Score: 5, Funny

    When you RSVP, please provide: For US citizens: Full name, affiliation, address, phone number, and notification of US citizenship. (Please bring your picture ID.)

    Bush: How can we get rid of all these commie bastards that the MPAA keeps bugging me about?
    Ashcroft: If we grab their hero, and make them want to come here for him, we can get them all in one place.
    Cheney pulls off Bush mask
    Cheney: They would never fall for that, it's a military base!
    Ashcroft: I got two words for ya, slash dot!
    Linus: Um, Mr. Asscroft, that's one word.
    Ashcroft: Guards, sieze him!
    Cheney: IANAL, but BWahahahahahhaha!

  13. MSNBC Hypocrites? on Still More Advertising Links · · Score: 1

    Using technology similar to NBCi's QuickClick or Microsoft's smart tags, the green words are really links to outside Web sites.

    They send a pop-under ad for X10, they have a similar technology, and they have the balls to say "That effectively turns sites like MSNBC.com -- in fact, any site -- into unwitting portals for the seedy side of the Internet"
    Sorry guys, but until that seductive chick in the X10 ad is gone, you don't have the right to discuss the seedy ads on the internet.

    PS: No, the pop under ad does not come up on my screen anymore, but it is still there until it gets munched, and a lot of inexperienced users don't know how to get rid of it.

  14. Slashdot Megahertz Myth on Intrinsity Claims 2.2 Ghz Chip · · Score: 1

    As soon as Slashdot adds a "Gaussian Blur" tag, I'll get a Mac and FP my butt off.

    Sorry Steve, but beating my computer in Photoshop won't cut the mustard!

  15. Re:Necessary? on Broadband Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Oh, and: Any halfway decent webserver allows you to run on another port -- they're only blocking port 80

    Actually, I'm kind of irritated that you are making me defend Microsoft after all the bandwidth that has been chewed up over the last 5 days. I guess, by your rating, IIS is a "halfway decent webserver".

    Microsoft IIS 4.0 to 5.0
    1. Open Internet Service Manager.
    2. Right-click the Web site that you want to change.
    3. Click Properties.
    4. Click the Web Site tab.
    5. Change the TCP Port Number in the TCP Port edit box (or click Advanced for multiple Port settings).
    6. Click OK to save the changes.


    Moderators: I'm sorry for defending MS. I throw myself at your mercy.

  16. Great! on Affordable Wearables May Arrive By Christmas · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    And then (seeing they are running a Microsoft OS), CodeRed III r00ts them all, and everybody turns into remote Zombies attacking anything open source!

    No Thanks!

  17. Nasty as it gets? on Code Red II: Shells for the Taking · · Score: 1

    Or just plain simple?
    Just type the following into a browser using one of the infected systems from your log file:

    http://infected_system/scripts/root.exe?/c+dir+c:\

    You are greeted with a directory listing of the root of C:\!
    I just LOVE windows!
    This is going to get MUCH worse!

  18. OK, this is now scary! on Code Red Back For More · · Score: 1

    Who needs telnet?
    Just type the following into a browser using one of the infected systems from your log file:

    http://infected_system/scripts/root.exe?/c+dir+c:\

    You are greeted with a directory listing of the root of C:\!
    I just scared the crap out myself by trying this, and it worked.

  19. Re:What these guys do after hours. FAKE ALERT on Final Fantasy Movie Interview · · Score: 4

    but did these guys get this desperate?

    This is not really Aki!
    It is well constructed fake image of her face pasted on to some other body from a porno flick!
    Aki has never done nudity in any of her films!

  20. Baloons galore! on Fusion Gets Closer With Magnetic Field Correction · · Score: 1

    Inside the cavity a plasma of deuterium is heated to 100 million kelvin and held in place with powerful magnetic fields. Deuterium is a heavy isotope of hydrogen, and when its nuclei collide under this intense pressure, some of them fuse to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy.

    The consortium on the global "Funny Talk" crisis will be starting up next year!

    Oh, I can see it now. A whole ARMY of Spacklers coming down from space to rule the world! I (as the original) would naturally be their leader. We would first take over, and then start cloning Natalie Portmans as our love slaves. Imagine the dDoS we could have at the DMV as we all went in for our license renewal. Fear me, or beer me you puny mono-people!

  25. Bad idea because... on The Next Generation of PVR has no Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    the other name for this device is a digital cable box. This would allow the cable company to show what they want at the time they want. In other words, the value is gone. So much for fair use!

    Note to self - Don't buy this.
