  1. Re:Imagine a DVD... on Iomega Patents 850GB DVD Nano-Technology · · Score: 1

    Since you've done the math already, about how many .mids will it hold?

  2. Re:Better Photograph on Linux and OpenOffice save Microsoft Presentation · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nice try, but the last time I clicked on a link with "collegechix" in the url, I was distracted at work for an hour.

  3. Re:Finally! on Virus Hold Computer Files 'Hostage' for $200 · · Score: 1

    Hahahah, good job. At least 5 people already were tricked to looking at the images. Probably many more are just too horrified to post a reply (for some reason I think of the people's faces from "The Ring").

    Most people try underhanded ways to "get" someone by linking to those images in their posts, you got many with no amount trickery. I applaud you.

    Those images are burnt in my retinas for all of eternity, even the thought causes loss of appetite. It is all of our mission to bring those pictures to the masses, so they can suffer^H^H^H^H^H^Hexperience them as well.

  4. Link to the computer on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 1

    For those interested, here's a link to the computer described: Poet 6000

  7. Re:What this means on What to Expect from Linux 2.6.12 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Windows will only assign a USB drive the next drive letter after the last physical device. For example: if your cd-rom is D: then the USB drive will try to mount at E:, however, if you have E: mapped to a network drive, the USB drive will not be mounted.

    Whatever can be done by a man, a probe can do better.

    A female on slashdot?

  10. What? on Dell Might do AMD · · Score: 1

    The promise comes from none other than CEO Kevin Rollins, and is probably just another indication that Dell is twisting and turning like a twisty turny thing with the mighty Intel or is hanging out for a better deal with AMD.

    Who in their right mind would write that?

  12. Re:Mr President, Dr. Evil is on the line... on Hole Drilled to Bottom of Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    From the wikipedia page:

    Later came Marshall Gardner (distinct from science writer Martin Gardner) who wrote A Journey to the Earth's Interior in 1913 and then an expanded edition in 1920. He placed a interior sun in the hollow earth. He even built a working model of the hollow earth and patented it (#1096102).

    So if Earth had turned out to be hollow, would we all have to pay licensing fees to use it?

  13. Re:First DEAD BEEF on Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Somehow, I read "Bad Boob" in there.

  14. Re:Selling some sort of hardened Linux, perhaps? on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 1

    Come on, in Swordfish, the guy could break security codes in less than a minute... Just admit you aren't that good.

  15. Re:This isn't really a problem on Microsoft Warns of Impossible to Clean Spyware · · Score: 1

    How popular is Apache compared to IIS and which has more exploits?

    Yes, the number of known exploits will increase for Linux, but I doubt it could match Windows even when it becomes the dominate OS.

  16. Re:Be calm, relax, things aren't that bad... on Following the Chips in Wynn's New Casino · · Score: 1

    I live in Vegas.

    All the casinos have "player's cards" that you use in any machine you want to gamble on, and some places have slots on the blackjack and other tables for you to use your card in. They are already tracking all those (just like the supermarket); what's to stop them from using RFID tags in these as well and place readers all over the casino? Maybe they already do.

    Content still exists?

  18. From the Article: on Boeing Successfully Tests Anti-Missile Laser · · Score: 5, Funny

    And apart from a loud "BOE-ING" sound when the laser was discharged, all went well.

    You know darn carriage returns just pop in there sometimes.

  21. Re:For Windows platforms... on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 1

    Radmin Viewer and Server runs perfect under vanilla wine too, been using it for a couple of years with no problem, ever. It is the most responsive remote desktop setup I've used outside of Citrix.

    It would suck to find out my Debian ISO was really Windows ME.

  24. Hmm on Top Ten Linux Configuration Tools? · · Score: 1

    fte (I just need an editor most of the time, not an automation tool)
    perl
    dd (I am amazed at the pure simplicity, yet effectiveness of this program)

    cups (maybe offtopic, but simple printer administration is always welcome)
    ssh (really, is there any argument?)
    bash

    I meant 120+, I have seen thermometers pop if left out in the sun here. The temp inside the vehicles can get extreme (cds melt in cars).
