  1. New use for WoTC? on Paul Allen Plans Sci-Fi Shrine in Seattle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I heard a rumor (which I never bothered to check) that the Wizards-of-the-Coatse plaza in Seattle's University district went out of business. If that's true, then I suspect I know where Paul Allen's 3-floor-sci-fi shrine will be located at.

    Would be a neat location!

  2. You forgot something on SonicBlue (Replay/Rio) Bought By D&M · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you'd have included the words eff and pee in your post somewhere, you'd have gotten the +1 bonus.

  3. Handjob... on Robotic Massage, Anyone? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...from the iron fist in the velvet glove?

  4. My Question on Talk It Over With Captain Crunch · · Score: 2

    Do you find telemarketers a problem? If no, how is it you've managed to deal with them?

  5. "Wonder what the DMCA would think about this..."? on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 5, Funny

    Whatever Microsoft TELLS THEM to think about this.
    (I may get an -1 redundant since that is the whole reason for the DMCA. Oh well. )

  6. Translation on Flaw Delays Shipment Of New 'Canterwood' Pentium 4 · · Score: 1
    An Intel spokesman contacted Hardware-Unlimited early this morning to let the publication know that performance "anomolies" have been discovered

    Microsoft and Sun are commiting to buying AMD's 64 bit chip...Oh Shit!!
  7. Remember, Citizens on Blackboard Campus IDs: Security Thru Cease & Desist · · Score: 5, Funny

    This in NO WAY implies we live in a police state.

  8. First reaction was "Great!" until I asked myself on Rolling Out Broadband Internet, On The Cheap · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What is the cost of living like in India?

    If it's decent, does that mean that there's a greater chance that Open Source will spread with the easier availability of iso's and ftp installs?

  9. slashdotted already. on Java for the Gameboy Advance · · Score: -1, Troll

    WTF is up with the net today?!?!?

  10. Re:Hmm on Tax Tips For Small Folks? · · Score: 1

    Sell drugs. Its risky, but supposedly the profits are great. The best thing is you don't have to worry about taxes, just skip them altogether.

    Taxes. It's my anti-drug.
  11. Gratuitous simpsons reference on Wired on Hollywood's Elite Message Boards · · Score: 1
    "that movie's gonna make some huge bank."
    "What buzz?"
    "The Internet buzz."
    "What the fuck is the Internet?!"

    "oh, the internet. is that thing still around?"
  12. Re:Hollywood Execs are a bunch of Trolls on Wired on Hollywood's Elite Message Boards · · Score: 5, Funny

    So, if I see a link on one of those boards to a film called "two hands and a stretched anus", does that mean I should NOT click on it? ;^)

  13. Re:This is stolen off another site.. on Tiny RC Tanks That Fight · · Score: 2, Funny

    Glad it's "mirrored" here, then; since Jesus Geeks appears to be down (at least from where I am at).

  14. Re:Volunteer... on FreeBSD Looking for People with Lots of RAM · · Score: 1
    At least they're better than OpenBSD

    at SMP, I mean.
  15. Re:Volunteer... on FreeBSD Looking for People with Lots of RAM · · Score: 1

    Now Linux 2.6 will have "good SMP". Not the best, good though. FreeBSD will probably scale OK to a few processors, don't kid yourself it will have "the best" SMP.

    True. I don't think either of them are on a par with Solaris or any other unix quite yet. At least they're better than OpenBSD, however!
  16. Re:Police "Hotmail" Hot in Beijing on Chinese Sites Band Together To Counter Google · · Score: 1
    Here's the text of the first seach result, in case china gets slashdotted.

    Here's the original link.

    The Beijing police "hotmail" has received more than 200 communications, including 69 e-mails, from local residents since it was opened a month ago, a spokesman with the Beijing Public Security Bureau said Tuesday.

    The bureau has classified all the communications, and dealt with those within their responsibility, while sending others to the relevant departments for resolution, the spokesman said.

    Beijing citizens reported clues to robberies, prostitution, sales of fake certificates, pornographic VCDs and security breaches.

    The police "hotmail" was opened for the public to report on criminal and security issues in the capital, and mails to "Mailbox 110" are free. E-mails can be sent to www.bjgaj.gov.cn. The police have promised to keep all information and details of the senders confidential.

    You cannot read this post!!!

  18. Re:Or just use Python on Extending and Embedding Perl · · Score: 1

    Slashdot runs on PERL. Python may indeed be better documented, but PERL is more suited to larger projects and it's more readily available than is Python.
    Just IME and IMHO.

  19. Re:Oh come on.... on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 1

    You're all missing the most important thing. .NET!!!

    Never tried it myself; but with the right serial/network links you can easily do an install/restore over the 'NET. ;)
  20. I haven't tried this with XP yet, but on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 1

    Traditionally I've always found the FreeBSD rescue cd to be indispensible. Before that, I used the two boot floppies from slackware (and still use that version of fdisk when the need arises.)

  21. but... on Windows Media Format Could Hit Linux-Based Devices · · Score: 1

    does it run on windows? ;)

  22. Re:A good thing, with some caveats... on Windows Media Format Could Hit Linux-Based Devices · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I (kinda) disagree. At least regarding the *BSDs. If they can get the program to work under linux compatibility mode (ala' Oracle, IIRC); then it will hit all open OSes (except, perhaps, HURD and OSX).

  23. I never, ever thought I would see the day on Windows Media Format Could Hit Linux-Based Devices · · Score: 1

    I could play my backed up *.wma files under *BSD (if it's ported to linux, it'll eventually make it to BSD. :)
