  1. Re:we KNOW it's the laser! on Is Sony Turning Its Back On CD-Rs? · · Score: 1

    Interesting, this is the first Troll moded up to 4 that I know of (I guess I just need to check back a bit more regularly).

  2. Re:Who owned Helix trademark? on Helix Code Changes Name To Ximian · · Score: 2
    I thought a trademark was localized to a specific trade, but corporate America is screwed up.

    It probably has something to do with Helix Educational Software.

  3. Re:What's It? on What is 'IT'? · · Score: 1

    I only give a shIT if IT is open source.

  4. Re:Linus should have his own action-figure line on Linus Talks About 2.4 · · Score: 1

    Scarry, just what we need: a bunch of geeks playing with open source paper dolls. If yoou look carefully you can see Linus' nipple.

  5. Re:Hsn't anyone explained the carbohydrates theory on A Robot That Runs On A Sugar High · · Score: 1

    I honestly forgot I did that page. I had to do one for some highschool class and I really didn't put any effort into it.

  6. Re:7.0 on Kernel Pool Is Back For 2.6 · · Score: 1

    This is the kind of reasoning we need if we are ever going to catchup to windows. if it takes a year or so to increment by .2 then it will take 10000 years to get anywhere near 2000.

  7. Size on A Robot That Runs On A Sugar High · · Score: 1

    I think it could be faster and last longer if it were smaller, I know it's a prototype but i've seen smaller battlebots.

    I don't think he's worried about the robots getting fat, infact this could prevent the overconsumption of glucose.

  9. Re:Linux 2.4 isn't vaporware, honest!!! on Linux 2.4.0-prerelease is Released · · Score: 1

    I was pissed at them because Linus has not missed any deadlines or release dates (there are none), and there are already two (2.0 & 2.2) very stable versions of the kernel available. What exactly are we missing? I think giving an open source project a couple of months between projected and actual release dates is enough.

  10. Re:How do you feel about education? on Ask An Ordinary Teenage Slashdot User · · Score: 1

    I don't dispise education.
    I dispise the American Education System
    I dispise certian Educational Institutions
    Actuallly, I love education. I admire the educated and have the deepest respect for those who teach.
    School still sucks

  11. Re:Greatest Generation on Ask An Ordinary Teenage Slashdot User · · Score: 1

    I (17) find myself driven by freedom. Not just free software, but total liberty. I live my life on my terms. It is disturbing having no goal or absolute direction. So I have found I can only trust in myself. This is particularly hard in a world run by old people who have implicit trust in a cause. So I find myself fighting the society I have rejected. I fight for my own liberty. And it really sucks. I am always on guard against people pushing me over with the defacto rules. I have even been suspended from school for voicing my oppinions and disturbing calss. I find myslef questioning my own views at times, which kind of makes me feel paranoid. Still, I live for myself.

  12. Re:What are you listening to? on Ask An Ordinary Teenage Slashdot User · · Score: 1
    If I could get a no-vocals version, I could stand to listen to it.

    That is why I primarily listen to techno music (Oakenfold, Orbital). I think creating good music that meshes well with good lyrics is hard, and I'm really just wanting something cool to listen to. Also, Kid Rock may be the lead vocal, but I'm pretty sure there is someone else writing and mixing the actual music (which just happens to be the good part).

  13. Re:What are you listening to? on Ask An Ordinary Teenage Slashdot User · · Score: 1
    you have to search out what you like from a mountain of garbage

    Isn't that true in any genera? I mean no matter what you listen to there is crap, but people don't realize that the crap is filtered out. MTV filters the pop crap. Radio filters the Rock crap. and DJs filter the techno crap. Techno is not just a means of mixing other artists' work, DJs like Moby, Paul Oakenfold, and Orbital have 90% of their songs 100% original so it make sense to focus on the work of an individual.

    the (sic) do hire some of the best writers in the business

    True, they are good lyrics, but they don't say much and have the worst presentation I can think of. I think I'll stick to TS Eliott for good writing.

  14. Re:What are you listening to? on Ask An Ordinary Teenage Slashdot User · · Score: 1
    The OLDER Beatles stuff really did suck. (She loves you yeah yeah yeah?). But some of the other stuff they did later and especiallly Lennon's solo stuff was far superior.

    These statements are valid because I am 17, and I have an objective oppinion.

  15. Re:reminds me on Free Cable Modem From The Shack · · Score: 1
    Dunno... I've heard stories about morons at the Cable company that have open connections to houses, only requireing a cable modem at the other end.

    Can't say anything for sure, I can't find any open specs about my (or any other) cable modem.

    Come on, don't leave us hanging like that!

    Look for yourself. If you go through any search engine you can find hundreds of sites about corn. The problem is that they all require proof of age...

    Oh, no wait...

    That's PORN. sorry.

    Just to be fair, there was one shot @ 16fps.

  18. Re:Why confined to a language? on College Board AP CompSci Exam Will Be In Java · · Score: 1
    True. I have learned and can write code in C/C++, Pascal (not my decision), Basic, Perl and sh. But am having a hell of a time finding any resources that actually deal with programming in general. Everything I find is learn the syntax of X language.

    Nothing about how to structure code, implement structures or Algorithms

    I'm open to suggestions.

  19. Re:Bah, none of those are dead. ;) on Ten Technologies That Shouldn't Have Died? · · Score: 1

    I actually went looking for my Dad's old slide rule about a month ago, and I like it. Airships are still used, they just are not as fast, so the are not used for transport. A company, I forget which one, recently came out with a new model of automatic watch. So not all of these have died, they just left the public consciousness.
