  1. Re:Tupolev on Concorde to be Grounded · · Score: 1

    Well, that French a/c was not up there for grins. It was an recon a/c. It was trying to get good spy shots of the Tu-144 in flight.

    I'm not saying that the French wanted the Tu-144 to crash, but they weren't innocent there, either.

  2. Party Mixing on Stations Can't Play Crippled Music Disks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This really screws the event DJ who uses a computer for mixing, like NI's Traktor (been playing around with it lately, really cool).

    The computer can do things that only very, very expensive DJ CD players can, but I guess the RIAA would rather have the DJs just play the song, without using loops, effects, etc...

  3. Cost of Patents on Fishing for Ideas · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah. Good idea. Let's make patents free, so anybody can patent thousands of things!

  4. Re:Sheesh on Enlightenment goes 1.0 · · Score: 1

    I (the poster you replied to) am an American. I'm just sick of people using the f'ed up American ways. I use dd/mm/yyyy, meters, kilograms, etc.

    (Alright, I've just opened up a can of worms here. Let the US bashing begin)

  5. Re:Not even trying on Enlightenment goes 1.0 · · Score: 1

    American centric bastards...
    It's 1/4...

  6. Re:I want one. on LCD Price Fixing? · · Score: 1

    I play with the Dell 1702FP that came with my workstation, and love it. I use it for both CAD work (it's great here because lines are actually straight...) as well as games (no ghosting problems, just less eyestrain ;-)

    The minimal ghosting problems people complain about (I don't see them anymore on new displays) is outweighed by the lack of eyestrain. I can use the computer for much, much longer.

  7. Benchmark? on Flash Memory And Its future · · Score: 2, Funny

    What, like "1/4 fingernail sized"?

  8. Ogg? on Slashback: Revolutionism, Media, Oregon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can it play Ogg Vor... Oh. Never mind.

  9. Endian? on Sun to Build Alternative Desktop ? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Would those be Big Indian or Little Indian programmers?

  10. Re:But... on Slashdot Subscribers Now See The Future · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't have so many problems with understaffing if they didn't post every story 3 different times.

  11. Re:I think it's just an animated "scratch-off" on CT Lottery to Offer PC Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but this is Slashdot. Here, we post articles, but don't ever read them. Instead we have debates about what they probably say.

  12. Re:Best DOOM WAD on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: 1

    On LANs. That's the only place I can get people to play.

  13. Re:Best DOOM WAD on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: 1

    Theres a Half-Life GoldenEye that's really, really good. Surprised more people don't play it, really. It's _exactly_ like the N64 version, just with higher res ;-)

  14. Re:Huh? on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: 1

    Obviously you haven't seen Lord of The Rings

    Which means, of course, that you are not welcome here.

  15. Re:Deja Vu on TarProxy Creates Tar Pit... For Spammers · · Score: 1

    Maybe we can use statistical techniques on the client side to help the editors avoid duplicate stories. TWB Yup, it's a dupe. There wasn't anything better to post at 2pm on a sunday, so you can just bitch about me instead ;)

  16. Re:Will it ever stop? on CollegeLinux Released to the Public · · Score: 1

    Really. All this time I thought that you had to use Debian for The Hurd.

  17. Re:Who needs a screen? on Barebones Notebook · · Score: 1

    You had body parts to move the stuff? I had to will the bits to move up the hill. I was lucky if I could get 1/week.

  18. Re:Glowing cloth? on Perfumed, Glowing Cloth · · Score: 1

    Yeah. We need to talk about your flair.

  19. Re:The most interesting thing... on Turing Test 2: A Sense of Humor · · Score: 1

    kick ass at quack
    So, you must be using an ATI card.

  20. Re:I don't think it's in danger on More on Columbia · · Score: 1

    Once again, a /.er is making the all too common mistake of confusing real life with Fight Club.

  21. Re:Worse than the UK! on The Demise of Model Rocketry? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the contents of 8 A engines is the same as a couple of D engines, which is the same as an E class engine. What's your point? It's like saying that having 1 gram of the stuff is a hazard, so we'll ban more than 500mg/box. You can buy, two, though.

  22. Re:Maybe I just don't understand... on The Fastest Video Card You Can Buy · · Score: 1

    Compare the demands on a system between Quake/Quake 2 and Day of Defeat 3 (HL mod [for those living under a gaming rock]). Same engine, vastly different requirements.

  23. Re:How long is an XBOX signature? on Linux Xbox Project Seeks Microsoft Signature · · Score: 1

    Or hardware emulation.
    One could create a Franken-XBox with an emulated DVD drive, no?

  24. Re:Dominion of Columbia? on uk.co Domains Knocked Offline By Registrar Dispute · · Score: 1

    Now, is that embarassing for the poster, that he made that reference, or you, because you didn't remember that part of Star Trek?

  25. Re:Uh-oh on uk.co Domains Knocked Offline By Registrar Dispute · · Score: 1

    Trust me, the domain would be scary enough even if it had just the one picture.
