  1. Re:Children and RotS on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    dude, i saw the melting face scene in IJ when I was... 4.. I think... it scared the piss out of me. Almost as much as watching Alien (the first one) not too long after that one. (I was told not to watch it, but I sat about 40 feet behind my brother anyway and did, unbeknownst to him.. at least unbeknownst to him until I was so scared i did wet myself)

  2. Re:Children are little people on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    Of course you do. Virtually everyone who is in this conversation still lives with their parents. I don't. But I haven't seen Ep 1-3, either. And I saw Ep 5 and 6 in the theaters when they came out, and haven't watched them since.

  3. Re:spoiled? no. on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    Actually, I kind of figured that if there were to be 7,8,9... we'd find out that Han was actually a Prince, .. er, i mean was actually in tune with the Force, and could've whooped Luke's ass if he believed.

  4. Re:5.56 vs 7.62 on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    "The loudest sound in a gun fight is *click*" .. I have GOT to remember that.

  5. Re:why the new series sucks on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    I read the first 3 Foundation novels front-to-back, in one volume, back in school. I can't remember one bit about them. For that matter, I didn't even remember reading them, until someone asked me a few weeks ago "Have you ever read Foundation?" ... and I thought about it for a few minutes.

    Foundation holds the interest of a 12 year old, but sucks worse than Star Wars to an adult.

  6. blah blah on Tor Named One of the Year's Best Products · · Score: 1

    If they'd just let the things I wanted IRC to do before there was a split from one unified IRC network, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

  7. what'd i tell ya'all on Meaningful MD5 Collisions · · Score: 1

    last time we had this discussion , maybe 3-6 months ago.. and they were meaningless collissions.. i told everyone "give it another 6 months or so, and someone'll figure out how to spoof properly"

  8. if you need things like this on When Is It Random Enough? · · Score: 1

    ...the odds are you are way too paranoid.

    either that, or you're probably doing something you shouldn't be doing.

  9. slashdot submitter on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1

    If the slashdot submitter had just bothered to google for "rexx", then that would've answered all of his problems.

    RTFG.

  10. Re:I don't think you understand economics on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Well, I haven't looked at Amaya in years, and it was virtually not useful when I did. links is in a totally different classification, and i'm not familiar with w3b.

    There's a difference between being in a classification WITH IE/Mozilla/etc and not being a target, vs. being OUT of that classification.

    Apples, oranges.

  11. Re:I don't think you understand economics on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Absolutely agreed. I don't think anyone's ever built something to specifically target Opera, and it's instance of found security issues is very low.

  12. Re:tdma? on Cellular Phone Programming Guides? · · Score: 1

    frightening.

    TDMA doesn't support E911 does it? How does that work?

  13. tdma? on Cellular Phone Programming Guides? · · Score: 1

    Umm.. who still uses TDMA? Cingular/AT&T hasn't been activiating TDMA for like a year now??

    CDMA autoprograms, GSM is programmed via the card, and TDMA basically doesn't exist anymore.

    So, what's the issue?

  15. there's nothing on Figuring Out the Font System on Linux Desktops? · · Score: 1

    There's nothing going on under the hood. Or, there's everything. It's not likely anyone will ever figure it out, because it's a freaking MESS.

  16. blah blah on Cuban Says RIAA Damages Should be $5 Per Month · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, this is only true if Yahoo has everything the RIAA has copyright for. Which is not the case, I'm sure.

  17. bleah on Dvorak on the LinuxWorld Fracas · · Score: 1

    Everyone here hates Dvorak, because he's older than everyone here, and he's been involved in the industry for longer than everyone here.

    He's almost always RIGHT every time some Slashdot article that upsets everyone is posted.

  18. Re:This ought to be interesting on Hyperthreading Considered Harmful · · Score: 1

    but the machine required to actually do this, would be ten times more powerful than the machine that you're trying to steal the key from.

    Yeah, ok.

  19. news? on Aquarium Full of Oil For PC Cooling · · Score: 1

    News? 7 years old is news?

  20. etc on The Rise of ARGs · · Score: 1

    didn't EA do one of these? Majestic? Majestyk? Mirsomething? don't remember.

    Anyway, as someone else on this thread said, the hype created outweighs the actual playing of it. bleah.

    I was going to mod this thread, but I had to reply to this.

    That box must've been well worth the copy of Playboy alone. WELL worth it.

  23. uhh.... on CherryOS is dead! Long live PearPC! · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    about two months ago, wasn't CherryOS a derivative of wine? Slashdot's getting weirder and weirder and less cohesive every day.

    it doesn't auto cache anything that uses GET. people thinking so are wrong.

    Something Awful is absolutely aptly named

    The site is horrible, the content is garbage, and if he thinks he's got more than 10 true words in anything he says, he's wrong.
