  1. Redesigned connector, unbreakable tabs on $10K Ethernet Cable Claims Audio Fidelity, If You're Stupid Enough To Buy It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe 10k$ is a little bit over my budget, but trust me, I would pay a lot for an Ethernet cable whose connector has virtually unbreakable tabs.

  2. Physicists! on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    In the Physics Department where I study students' terminal are all named after famous physicists.

  3. eheh! on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    !first post!

  4. Re:Kudos to the Slashdot editors... on Find Linux Torrents Quickly · · Score: 1

    d'oh!

    i was using adblock...
    i've just seen it after disabling the plugins and i've seen the google ad-bar...

    excuse me :-)

  5. Too many distro?!? on Find Linux Torrents Quickly · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's quite a pity to see all these distros... the opensource communit is wasting a lot of efforts on reinventing one hundred times the same things...

    I know that this will never happen but why not focus on a "server distro", on a "desktop distro" and on a "minimalistic distro" rather than developing hundreds of clones of themselves?!?

  6. Re:Kudos to the Slashdot editors... on Find Linux Torrents Quickly · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the site is not exploiting hijacking /. power for his own gain...

    i can't find even a small banner on their home page...

    they are just offering an useful service to the community... sure those thing aren't hard to find but i would have to browse the distro home page following 3-4 links and wasting, let's say, a minute...

    now i can download a distro torrent with just a click!

  7. A big error... on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    In the last days bt was blamed just for allowing users to download illegal material from other sites (just like blaming a vcr recorder for allowing you to sell copied cassettes)...

    I cannot imagine what is going to happen now, as you can find links to illegal torrents even on the bt homepage...

    Perhaps Bram Cohen knows well what he's doing... But I think that this is a big error...

    The end of bt is near?!? No, bt is opensource...
    Bram is just going to jail for quite a long time :-)

  8. Re:Google == Linux, yet no Linux Client?!? on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 1

    they understood the real role of linux: TCP/IP web server...
    there's no space in the immediate future for linux as a desktop system...
