  1. Re:This is actually good! on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Soon, it will be illegal to sell or loan books containing violence to persons under age 18. That would include the Bible, and keeping that mind-warping drivel from our youth will help break the cycle of these right wing conservative fucks who keep making these retarded bills!!!!!

    RTFA!

    "Rep. Joe Baca (D. Calif.)" has been working on re-introducing this bill, I somehow doubt that a Democrat from California is a right wing conservative fuck.

  2. Re:Simdesk is the app not the os... on Microsoft Loses Showdown in Houston · · Score: 1

    Microsoft makes a lot more money off of Office than they do windows. Who knows, SimDesk could run under windows 98, and not give MSFT the 2000/XP upgrades they want.

  3. Re:Simdesk is the app not the os... on Microsoft Loses Showdown in Houston · · Score: 1

    Calculator? SimCalc is a spreadsheet, much like StarCalc.

  4. Garage on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What would be cool is if your driveway could have a sensor in it that reads the RFID on your tire and automatically open the garage door for you. No more worrying who has the remote.

  5. Re:Obviously... on Linux in Enterprise Environments · · Score: 1

    I remember many delicious incidents installing Linux and running into real trouble with the graphics card.

    I had no problem installing graphics cards on any of my linux systems.

    1. Go to nVidia website, and download drivers

    2. Un-targz drivers.

    3. su - (Enter password)

    4. make

  6. Re:We need to see more of this... on Linux in Enterprise Environments · · Score: -1, Troll

    I am sick and tired of supporting MS.

    Do you support MS? Or does MS support you? Think about it!

  7. I can see it now... on Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep · · Score: 1

    Since you are not running a "trusted OS", whenever you try to listen to a copyrighted song from CD, the BIOS shuts down the hard drives and CD-ROM drives. When you ask the BIOS manufacturer they will say "It works, as long as you don't try to open copyrighted material on an untrusted OS".

  8. Microsoft on Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Will you refuse to give M$ a key until their OS is trusted?

  9. Two versions on Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why can't we have two versions of the BIOS?

    K901 (Trusted Computing enabled)
    K901B (Trusted Computing disabled)

    And enable users to crossship the chips if they want a different version...

  10. Ghetto on Requiem for the Disappearing Pay Phone · · Score: 1

    If you want to see payphones, go to a convienience store in the ghetto. Some have like 4 or 5 payphones right next to each other. I wouldn't suggest using them though. :-)

  11. Re:What I want on Red Hat Linux 8 Bible · · Score: 1

    Why do people always run Linux on their crap PCs? I am personally opposite.

    Windows Machine : PII 400Mhz with 256MB RAM

    Linux Machine: AMD Athlon 2100+ 512MB RAM, and GeForce4 4200.

    I only maintain my Windows machine for Quicken, and because my University basically standardizes on MSVC++ 6.0.

  12. Re:great, but... on More Drooling Over The Opteron · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't consider the Athlon a clone of the Pentium III/4. The only thing the athlon and Pentium III/III++ share is their instruction set. The architectures are completely different. The K7 series of processors marks the first time that AMD has really designed their own architecture. The K5/K6 were Pentium/Pentium II clones, but the K7 was basically AMD's coming out in the Microprocessor realm, and has been extremely successful!

  13. Re:Computers don't make the man on Apple Applies For Color-Change Patent · · Score: 2

    I remember a friend of mine hacked the server on our high school computer lab LAN. If you could call it hacking, he just guessed really good at the teacher's password, and deleted a bunch of stuff and screwed with all of the settings. There was a consultant there for a week trying to fix everything, and I bet that cost some real $$$$$$.

  14. Cheap Jewelry on Japan Developing Diamond-based Semiconductors · · Score: 1

    I don't know if they will be able to find enough of those diamond flecks (what they cut off while making REAL diamonds). It seems like people these days are buying more and more of that ghetto jewelry with diamond flecks. They might need to use the synthetic diamond material that is use in diamond cutting edges....

  15. Re:Bill Gates on Single-Chip Linux Computer · · Score: 4, Funny
    When is the windows version coming out?


    You couldn't even fit the Windows bootstrap program on this thing, much less the web browser that is integral to the OS.

  16. Re:SPAM? on Spam Blocking Engine for OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    I got Karma to waste, so here it goes!

    Flamebait, are you on crack! SPAM is a problem we will have to deal with forever. If the US imposes effective restrictions on it, US marketing firms will start sending their work overseas where the US can't control it. My post was just saying that spam is here to stay, so just deal with it. If you set up descent mail filters that filter out anything with XXX, Viagra, etc.... Or these shitty spoofed e-mail addresses that spammers use, you shouldn't have a problem.

    I personally have filters set up to filter potential spam into a potential spam folder, and known spam to be deleted, therefore when I have time I open up my potential spam folder and look through it and delete the spam.

    Mod this what ever the hell you want!

  17. SPAM? on Spam Blocking Engine for OpenBSD · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Spam really sux, but I can usually tell spam from real mail by the subject line, and it only takes me like 2 sec./message to detect it as spam and delete it. I get roughly 20/30 spam messages/day, therefore it takes a WHOLE 1 minute out of my day to delete spam. Spam is annoying, but it isn't that big of a problem that we need Slashdot posts every day about it...

  18. Re:The USA Government are world terrorists!!! on U.S. Proposes Centralized Internet Surveillance · · Score: 1
    "I think it's time to use that freedom we have to "bare arms" and stock up on anything you can find. It seems to me that the same thing is happening here that happened in England. And history shows us if we fight for what we believe in we will prevail."


    Wear short sleave shirts (bare arms), or pick up our weapons (bear arms). I as an American have no problem with the govt. taking a look at my internet traffic, as long as they have a court order.

  19. Yahoo should catch the bounce on Killing Unwanted Text Messages from Yahoo! Alerts? · · Score: 1

    You would think that before you recieved the number there was a period where the number was unused. It would also be safe to say that your wireless provider would bounce the e-mails to that number while the number was out of service. Therefore Yahoo should have taken that bounce and cancelled the service.

  20. Mannheim Steamroller on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 1

    At least American Gramaphone (Mannheim's Steamroller's label) isn't on that list, because those have been the only CDs I have bought in a year.

  21. This Sux! on Microsoft to Buy Rational and/or Borland? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Compaq buying DEC was bad enough. Microsoft buying Borland is horrible. I remember in the early 90's it was like "Wow, Microsoft makes a compiler too? No thanks, I will stick to Borland", and now it's like "Wow, Borland is still in buisiness". What is left for all of the tech giants of the past like Cray, DEC (err Compaq, no HP), Borland. IBM's only saving grace is that they were quite diversified, and MSFT will never be able to topple them.
