  1. the best code construct ever created on Lego Vs. Meccano & Engineering Knowledge · · Score: 2

    GOTO

  2. They didn't test the most important feature on OSX/Win2K Deathmatch · · Score: 1

    That Win2k would have won. The range of games available for the platform.

  3. GPLed Code is then subject to export restrictions on "Cplant" Parallel Computing Tool · · Score: 1

    as it allows the creation of super computers based upon a clustered set of smaller computers?

  4. What a load of ass on Four Companies Get Half Your Clicks · · Score: 1

    The 4 companies with the biggest legal and marketing departments... thus the 4 companies best placed to lie/stretch the truth about how many clicks they get and get away with it. Either that or they're counting page views on their banner ads from their various advertising subsiderys.

  5. Winblows implementation of sockets saved him? on Post-mortem of a DOS Attack · · Score: 3

    "Surprisingly, the thing which saved him is Win 9x's non-standard implementation of Sockets"

    - Wasn't it the crappy security in windows that allowed the DOS attack to occur in the first place?

  6. Its easy to get rid of on What Do You Do To Relieve Lower Back Pain? · · Score: 1

    Sex and lots of it

  7. The answer is easy on Kubrick's AI Spawns Distributed Client / Cognition · · Score: 1

    its "42"

  8. I also have an illegal copyright infringin network on RIAA Trains Legal Sights On Aimster · · Score: 1

    It is called a paper bag. It could allow me to exchange contraband and copyrighted materials with my colleagues covertly. When are the men in black coming to confiscate my paper bag?

  9. DDE + Watermarked DVDs = BAD? on Digital Display Encryption Details Leaked · · Score: 2

    So I'm guessing that a DDE compliant display will refuse to display a dvd or other type of media information that has been watermarked unless the media source is also compliant. If this happens it will make it alot harder to play copied media files on you brand new 42" DDE COMPLIANT (simultaneously destroying your fair use rights)

  10. Re:roblimo ate my balls!! on High-End VR QuakeIII Arena · · Score: 1

    Spent too much time in Reponngi?

  11. x-box may reduce presence of windows on desktop? on TuxBox: Rising from Indrema's ashes · · Score: 1

    Right now the only thing I reboot to windows for is to play games. I'm guessing the xbox will run 99% of windows DirectX games. So hell... I might just buy an xbox (shock horror... supporting the evil empire) and kill that windows partition on my desktop machine once and for all. Its a toy operating system...so it may as well be used that way. ....yes this post isn't all that relevant. Get over it. anti-flame note: will probably get Tux Box anyway for all the other cool stuff like MAME etc

  12. There should be more info about articles like this on Kurt Seifried On The Danger Of Binary RPMs · · Score: 1

    in the slashdot posting.

    Something like - "This article is aimed at sponge headed morons who don't know how to tie their shoelaces" would be nice. Then I wouldn't have wasted my time reading the article.

  13. John Carmack's .plan on the event on GeForce 3 Demoed - Running DOOM 3 · · Score: 2
  14. Re:Oh No! -Linus starving on the street on Microsoft Clarifies Jim Allchin's Statements · · Score: 1

    Linus T. has done a whole s#!t load for open source software. But remember it isn't open source software which is supporting him financially. Its his work for Transmeta.

  15. Spastic Medusa indexer on GNOME 1.4 Beta 1 Is Out · · Score: 2

    Last time I tried Nautilus the spastic medusa file indexer thing keep sucking away all my cpu time. Kinda reminds me of that crazy fastfind.exe process in windows many years ago that did similar things.

  16. Whats the range on these devices? on Sun, Motorola Want Radio Tags In All Consumer Goods · · Score: 2

    Here's a nice scenario: Thief wanders down the street and decides he need a Sony DS9 VCR. Pulls out his handy radar transmitter and thinks to himself - hey look like there's a DC9 VCR at house number 3, 10 and 12b. I think I steal the VCR from 12b. Now that he has the VCR, he can tear off the radio tag to prevent anyone using a similar technique to trace it back to him.

    Guess this will probably end up being another device that provides very little benefit compared to the loss of privacy endured by consumers.

  17. So like current tags on Sun, Motorola Want Radio Tags In All Consumer Goods · · Score: 1

    They'll b rendered useless and unreponsive to the radar devices with a simple swipe of a pocket knife down the centre cutting one of the circuits.

  18. Re:Remote administration on Remote Administration vs. Phone Support? · · Score: 1

    VNC piped of SSH - duh!!!!

  19. There's a really simple reason on Linux Applications And "glibc Hell"? · · Score: 1

    Because Oracle has the most bi^#H a$$ crappy install system in the world for linux. Its the most amazingly crappy piece of $h1t I've ever come across for a long time.

  20. Re:The Corel Failure on Corel Chief On Corel, Open Source, .NET And Others · · Score: 1

    There are people in the world who don't read SlashDot?

  21. What do you mean Bill Gates is President on Microsoft, Unisys & Dell To Make New Voting System · · Score: 1

    He wasn't even on the ballot sheet!!!

  22. Microsoft Downgrades the X-Box Spec a bit on First Looks At XBox · · Score: 1

    Here's a nice little story on Gamasutra about how the spec for the X-Box has changed over time.
    - Check out the difference in the polygon counts and having to fork out more cash just for a remote to play DVDs.

  23. Send beer on How Should Companies Grant Recognition To Developers? · · Score: 1

    Lots of beer and vodka

  24. Re:Finally Stable - Just want TV-OUT support for on XFree86 4.0.2 Released · · Score: 1

  25. Lord of the Rings, Linux and SGI on Slashback: Mainstreaming, Lux, Ports · · Score: 1
