  1. Re:Highlander on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1
    Seriously Google, take them ALL take all their fucking people. EVERY ONE OF THEM.

    Uhm, wouldn't it be better to simply take the good ones. Afterall, somebody had to write all that awful code the slashdot community derides, no?

    Sheesh.

  3. Re:Gygax, what a guy! on Interview with Gary Gygax · · Score: 1

    Gamma World is the post-holocaust game you're probably thinking of. Not sure how much Gygax had to do with it, but the first edition was essentially Metamorphosis Alpha (By James Ward, IIRC) on a future Earth. Top Secret (first edition) was written by Merle Rasmussen.

  4. Slightly OT on Latest WinWorm Spreads Via ICQ And Outlook · · Score: 1

    Y'know, maybe we shouldn't be calling these trojans attachments, but maybe "attackments"

    Just a thought :-)

  5. Re:Programs like this did not prompt open source on Pine/Pico License Misconceptions · · Score: 1
    PINE never included the functionality to plugin your own editor. You have to use pico first, and then exit to your own editor. That is a bad design, and I cannot fix it for others - only U Wash can.

    Well, not really true. Add "enable-alternate-editor-cmd" and "enable-alternate-editor-implicitly" to the "feature-list" entry in your ~/.pinerc (don't forget to set your favorite editor in the "editor" entry). This automagically launches your editor when you move into the body of the message. Works like a charm.
