  1. But. . . on Virgin Galactic Shows the Finished WhiteKnight Two · · Score: 0, Redundant

    will it blend?

  2. Headstone on Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life · · Score: 1

    The best way to track these people is with a well marked headstone over their graves.

  3. Hair Club on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll cancel my appointment with the Hair Club for Men till this is perfected. Just think how much data my flowing locks will store.

  4. Re:15 fnc, 4 cmd, 9 movement, and 5 misc keys on What's A 'Scroll Lock' And Why Is It On My Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to use that Rub Out key on some of my co-workers.

  5. We'll miss you Netware on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Back in the day, Netware was very nice. I remember using it at my first intern position in the windows 3.1 days. I guess the world has moved on. Its strange to think that many of the /. crowd has never seen it in action.

  6. Overseas Developemnt and National Security on Former Intel Engineer Pleads Guilty To Taliban Aid · · Score: 1
    What will happen when all (many) of the software development jobs are sent over seas? What controls are in place to do background checks, etc. in nations like India, China, and others?

    How about I/T departments that are sent overseas?

    Instead of trainging terrorists to fight, teach them to code.

  7. They'll regret this on Real Announce Helix Grant Program, Player · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    when SCO sues everyone who has released code that can run on Linux.

  8. Great! Now I just need. . . on Airborne Video With an R/C helicopter · · Score: 1

    to learn how to fly an R/C helicopter.

  9. Re:Woo!!! on Mozilla Rising ... As A Platform · · Score: 1

    Take 10 off of your 15 minutes of fame.

  10. Not just mainframes on IBM Will Include Red Hat On All Mainframes · · Score: 2
    I know this is getting tricky, since IBM decided to rename everything. Follow this chart.

    zSeries = S/390
    pSeries = RS/6000
    iSeries = AS/400
    zSeries = ? (Maybe the NUMA systems)

    What this really means is that Linux will run on all of these platforms. The S/390 port was done mostly in house. The AS/400 port is based on the LinuxPPC work as is the RS/6000 port. More work had to be done on the AS/400 port since the hardware is different than a 6000, although the processors are the same. I would really like to see Linux running on a 400, the hardware kicks ass.

  11. SMIT on AIX on HelixCode Releases Admin Tools · · Score: 2

    Smit solves these problems. It is a GUI system management tool and it shows you the commands that it ran. After you use it a couple times, you know what it touched, and you can just run the command yourself.

  12. Re:The Public vs the NSA on Crypto Guru Bruce Schneier Answers · · Score: 1

    I prefer to refer to the NSA at the Ministry of Love or Miniluv if you like.

  13. If Linux is such a piece of crap . . . on Microsoft Clarifies Linux Myths · · Score: 1

    then why are they wasting their time puting up web sites and paying for bechmarks? Maybe it isn't as bad as they say. Maybe it is quite good. Maybe they realize that now.

  14. Re:But.....? on Virgnia:Internet Capital · · Score: 2

    No no no! Al Gore, while in Virginia invented the Internet. Therefor Virginia is the birth place and true home of the Internet. Get your facts strait. P.S. Gore was working on his Open Source web site at the time.

  15. Available on EBAY on Geeks in Space: The Octagonal Mystery · · Score: 1

    I am going to be selling all eight copies plus the 3.1 service pack on ebay. Look for it later today! Bidding will start at $40 per episode and $20 for the service pack.

  16. Can't Find One? Make One! on Girls Like Linux Too · · Score: 1

    They may be hard to find but you can make them. No I don't mean you should code one or buy one at a store. Just introduce a girl you know to computers. Women will become just as interested as men. The problem may be getting them away from the screen after they get there. Be afraid, be very afraid!

  17. You can change your password on Network Solutions E-Mail Security Alert · · Score: 1

    Go to http://mail.dotcomnow.com and click on preferences. You can change your password from there.

  18. Yellow Dog Linux on the B50 on IBM takes aim at Sun · · Score: 1

    The press release is here. I guess this thing will run linux. I would like to see it in action.

  19. Another Great Episode on Geeks in Space 7: Cardboard Box · · Score: 2

    Thanks for another great one. It looks like there is a slashbox on the way too. I selected it in my preferences but it doesn't show up yet. This will make it much easier once its up and running. By the way, how big was that cardboard box? Washing macheine size or more like a match box?

  20. Looks like Rob is right. on On the Subject of Trolls · · Score: 1

    Since nearly all of the comments here are by ACs I'm guessing Rob is right. This won't help in the long run. In a way, it is a compliment. It shows how popular Shashdot is. You must be doing something right if all these people want to waste hours waiting for things like first post.

  21. Perl Script that Draws a Camel. on Review: Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software · · Score: 1

    The only question is one hump or two?

  22. Re:Geeks In Space on Geeks in Space 6: The Krull Invasion · · Score: 1

    Its not posted on the main page because people kept saying "Why are you posting this on the main page you asshole?" and "You said you wouldn't post this on the main page any more. Must be Andover you bunch of sell outs". Anyway, you guys are six out of six for great episodes. Keep up the good work. How about two per week? Maybe a daily show?

  23. Re:"I plead the 5th?" on Interview: the "Punk Hacker Kid" Responds · · Score: 1

    He is going to a community college. That's why. Just imagine what his questions looked like BEFORE the editors got them.
