  1. related news on Incas Used Binary? · · Score: 1

    In related news, the longest still-running joke has just been announced to be the "There is only 1 kind of people in the world..."

  2. Screw JohnKatz!!! on IRC Forum w/ CmdrTaco & Hemos Tonight at 8pm Eastern · · Score: 1

    screw JonKatz...I want my slashdot radio!!!!

  3. V the second generation? on "V" Sequel Coming to NBC · · Score: 1, Funny

    Then there will be "V Outer Space 9", then will come the show about the generation before the first generation, and that will be call "V voyaging".

  4. Carmageddon on GTA Creator To Make GTA-Beater? · · Score: 1

    It sounds like carmageddon to me. ;-)
    Race and run over people for points/extra time.

    Of course, if it doesn't run on Linux, I won't play it anyway --hehe

  5. Re:They should really swap to IPV6 then.. on Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    Funny thing is, the ipv6 site seems to be /.'d! And it was only mentioned in passing.

  8. Netboot on Massively Updating to Mac OS X? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wouldn't it be cheaper and worth the effort to do a netboot setup? THen you jsut go around to all the OS 9 machines and set the startup disk to be netboot (or whatever they call it I forget) and reboot :-).

    Of course you might want to invest in gigabit ethernet and some switches at the same time. Other than that, you'd have to around to each machine individually with the OS X CD.

  9. Re:Critics are not so positive... on Electrolux Robot Vacuum Cleaner · · Score: 2, Funny

    A vacuuming robot with mood swings? Might as well get a wife ...
    At least it doesn't have a rat brain. At least with the mood swing robot you'd only questioned about why you were home late, and why you forgot to vacuum. If it was a rat powered vacuum you'd here it late at night vacuuming in the crawl spaces, you'd never be able to catch it, and your cheerios box would have a hole eaten in the bottom corner, all the cheerios being of course, sucked out.

  10. Re:Huh? on Fizzer Worm Uninstalling Itself · · Score: 4, Funny

    FizzerCorp is too busy to sue. They are trying to prepare their defense to say that in fact fizzer does _NOT_ contain SCO code.

  11. Matrix on Hybrid Robot Uses Rat Brain · · Score: 1

    oh sure until one of these little rat thingies gets a hold of the red pill, then we're all doomed.

  12. Re:my favorite on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember a game for Macintosh in the early early 90's that had a menu option called "Quick! the Boss is coming!" it would not only hide the game from view (including the finder menu), but would open a mock spreadsheet and propogate it with values....

  13. Use snort!! on Sniffing Out Cancer · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anyone else think of snort when they said "sniff"?

  16. Re:Those service calls... on Microsoft Rolls Out iLoo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    now now, don't get all pissy about it. ;-)

    Seriously though, would you really want to touch the keyboard? They'd need those paper toilet seat covers only for keybpards now.

  17. but uhm on The Must-Fix List For 2.6.0 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd propose that 2.6.0 means that users can migrate from 2.4.x with a good expectation that everything which they were using in 2.4 will continue to work, and that the kernel doesn't crash, doesn't munch their data and doesn't run like a dog..."

    Shouldn't we wait till the 2.4.x branch does that?

  18. Re:Speaking of Jurassic Park on Cloning Endangered Species · · Score: 1

    Ah yes. Quoting from bad Spielberg movies is a terrific form of argumentation.

    I wasn't, I was quoting a good Michael Crighton book. I think Mike (I can call you Mike right Mr Crighton?) has a lot of interesting quotes on the state of science and the drive of those scientists to do what they perhaps should not. I admit though, I am a bit of a hypocrite as the woolly mammoth cloning project really interests me.

  19. Speaking of Jurassic Park on Cloning Endangered Species · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
    - Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

    We are witnessing the end of the scietific era. Science, like other outmoded systems, is destroying itself. As it gains power, it proves itself incapable of handling that power. Because things are going very fast now. Fifty years ago, everyone was gaga over the atomic bomb. That was power. No one could imagine anything more. Yet, a bare decade after the bomb, we began to have genetic power. And genetic power is far more potent than atomic power. And it ... will force everyone to ask the same question - what should I do with my power? - which is the very question science says it cannot answer.

  20. or... on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1

    "...However, many analysts believe a successfully Google IPO could rejuvenated Internet-company investments."
    or, it would kill off the best search engine around thus far.

  21. mirrors beautiful mirrors on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available! · · Score: 1

    Can I have some more?

    Some lucky people already got it. I am unfortuanelly victim to the dreaded "421 too many users" message. Anyone with a high speed connection that can mirror this?

    and by high speed I mean more than a t-1 cuz it's gonna get saturated.

  22. Nagios on Monitoring Your Unix Boxen? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm running Nagios. It was SAINT, and before that it was known as SATAN. I've also used big sister before. That's a pretty good big brother clone. Nagios will do what your after though. Just remember that whatever you build will probably take awhile. Creating the config files takes forever.

  23. Support OSDN on Which LED Flashlight Do You Use? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Imagine a beowol....ahhhh forget it.

    If you really wanted a cool flashlight you'd get one of these from thinkgeek and support OSDN! :-)

  24. Run on Selling your Inbox Instead of Chocolates? · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Run from schoolmall, run hard run fast run far.
    I don't like this one little bit. People I know turning in my address for $$$? That's sneaky and underhanded. I think spam has gone far enough. I do beleive it is the #1 threat on the internet right now. Marketing people need to find another way to solicit me.
    • Like maybe get a giant size board and put it next to freeways and such. People providing such services could bill to have people put up their ads. We can call it the "billboard".


    • -or-

    • purchase time on television sets in between shows or during a break time. During these breaks, commercial advertisers could show their wares. We could call these "commercial breaks".
    There's lots of ways to target me. But cramming 45+messages a day in my inbox is dammed annoying! If people checked their postal mailboxes everyday and got 45 junk emails there'd certainly be a lot more done about it at the governemnt level do'nt ya think? Maybe if the governement charged $0.10 tax per commercial email that went out spammers wouldn't be so happy to have their "45 million email opt-in lists". That would come out to $4.5 million. I'm sure that would get the spammers to trim the fat out of their lists.
