  1. Windows Desktop on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: 1

    I bet I could simulate on my actual desk using bits of people and a complex arrangement of folded paper for the Start button.... Would probably be more stable. :)

    Anyway, since I got my first printer, I've wasted far more paper than I ever did before having one...

  2. Hmmmm on Spy v. Spy · · Score: 1

    If black holes don't exist, where does stuff I send to /dev/null go? ;-)

  3. Re:I almost wish... on KDE 3.0RC3: Prepare to Fall in Love · · Score: 1

    Here's a link to the page about KDE3 in SuSE 8 - for people who can't be bothered to find it themselves :-)

  4. Re:I almost wish... on KDE 3.0RC3: Prepare to Fall in Love · · Score: 1

    I'm glad SuSE have waited a bit. ;-)

  5. Re:Star Trek and geek critics on Messing Around With The Prime Directive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    > Spock's pure logic
    I agree with that.

    > The dilithium crystals
    I thought they are used to direct the anti-matter, rather than as a power source themself?

    > Warp factor 9:
    errrmm... don't forget sub-space. Also warp 9 is NOT nice times the speed of light. The warp factors are an exponential scale.

    > No plants on the enterprise:
    I can't remember if I've seen any or not to be honest, but can't air be recycled anyway?

    > Artificial gravity:
    IIRC, there are devices that emit gravitons, which are theoretical conveys of gravitation.

    > Beaming down:
    People are working on the problem.

  6. Re:Lexx has an answer on Higgs Boson Discovery Questioned · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean: We Worship His Divine Shadow!! ;-)

  7. Re:Information should be free! on Congressional Hearings on WHOIS · · Score: 1

    errmm.. don't forget bank details! and while you're at it, why bother encrypting anything??

  8. Re:Cant wait for the crash. on Mir 2 · · Score: 1

    So.... when are we gonna start betting on the date it'll finally burn up in the atmosphere? ;-)

  9. Re:Cool! on Water/Complex Carbon Found In Distant Solar System · · Score: 1

    yeah, yeah, but can you make a Beowulf cluster out of their computers? ;-)

  10. Re:Kalvin on Atomic Optics Uses Light To Focus Atom Beams · · Score: 1

    I thougth absolute zero was -273.15 degrees Celsius (to 2 dp) ?

  11. Re:GAY HOMO LOVE on When Should You Go Back To The Drawing Board? · · Score: 1

    Why did that post get +2??

  12. Re:I love you, Xev/Zev! on Exponential Assembly Top Down Nano · · Score: 1

    If you're gonna say Lexx awful, at least say why you think it's awful. I enjoyed it, it's not for everyone though....

  13. Re:Hey stupid moderator! on Exponential Assembly Top Down Nano · · Score: 1

    yup... I've seen it ;-) It was Mantrid who started it, and IIRC he was part human, part insect, part mechanical himself. (He minds was trasnfered to a machine using an insect organ I think.) The robot arms eventually turned most of the universe into robot arms... How do you stop these tiny tiny robot arms? with a giant bug? ;)

  14. I shouldnt really say this, but... on NASA's Odds For Iridium De-Orbit Casualties · · Score: 1

    Imagine a beowolf cluster of these falling out of the sky! :)

  15. Re:Mull THIS one over... on Dreamcast Runs Linux · · Score: 1

    oh the irony!

  16. Re:Dreamcast on Dreamcast Runs Linux · · Score: 1

    yeah, I just cracked into it to, you are one sick perverted person! *resolves 127.0.0.1 to localhost* *realises what he's done* errrmmm.... this isn't my computer, I'm.. err... at a friends house.. yeah, that's right, a friend, he name is John. The sheep porn isn't mine, really... *runs off*

  17. Re:And that's a representative sample right? on Reasoning Behind The KDE League · · Score: 1

    I am studying statistics at college at the mo, and often complain that samples of 50 or so are quite small ;-) (well it depends how big the population is)... Anyway, most of the people I know who use Linux use KDE ;-) (I think only 1 uses GNOME, a couple of other WMs instead)

  18. Re:XAnim is a bit obsolete ... try aviplay on The Next Generation of XAnim · · Score: 1

    *bangs head on wall* Sorry for that, I just tried freshmeat and gave up, sometimes I forget there are other places to look for linux software :)

  19. Re:XAnim is a bit obsolete ... try aviplay on The Next Generation of XAnim · · Score: 1

    Where could I get aviplay? I did a search for it but couldn't find it...

  20. Re:Damn! on Mir Lives · · Score: 1

    how would they get evicted? a) send a shuttle each time (very expensive)? b) have 9 escape pods to send people down in (the winner gets to stay there)? c) toss 'em out the airlock?? :)

  21. Re:bookmarks everywhere... on A New Tack In Search Engine Formulation · · Score: 1

    "as they can not read my memories" I bet someone out there is working on that though....

  22. Re:Damn! on Mir Lives · · Score: 1

    Damn! Now there is even less chance it will "accidently" crash onto Redmond :-( Anyone wanna bet how long Mir will last now?

  23. Re:If you make knowing about exploits a crime... on 'Hacking' To Be Declared Illegal · · Score: 2

    I have found that knowing about various exploits has helped me to protect my box against them. By not knowing about them, people will be less prepared...
