    Inside the battery, which is the size of a personal CD player, a colony of E.coli bacteria produce enzymes which break down carbohydrates and release hydrogen.

    a couple of wires suspended is a good brownian motion generator, like a nice hot cup of tea... :)

  6. Re:Are they... on Polarized Screens to Hide Sensitive Data · · Score: 2

    Actually, on the TV production of HHGTTG, this was how the peril sensitive glasses worked.

    The glasses were polarised, clear normally, and when they were required to go black the polarising sheet on the camera was rotated, making them appear black.

    Yes, I have the DVD with the production notes. Yes, i read them all. Yes, I should be able to find a better use of my time, but I cant.

    *bite*

    Ok, AMD released a 150mhz 486 and Pentiums went up to 200mhz .

    That is all.

  9. Re:Good Cause on Vi IMproved -- Vim · · Score: 2

    Slashdot has a very nice FAQ section - please read it. You have misunderstood what the score means and have made yourself look a fool in front of thousands. ;)

  10. Has hacking ever killed anyone? on House OKs Life Sentences For Hackers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well, if hacking actually resulted in deaths, a life sentence would be applicable. Has it?

  11. Slashdot FAQ bogus on Elements 116 and 118 are Bogus? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Who cares about elements and boring stuff like that. The slashdot FAQ is bogus. Want proof?

    you can't just rack up big karma scores, and then post nonsense.

    Um... yes I can!

    Anyone know if this has the fix for the remote DoS when X/XFS is running?

    See, this is why I'm keeping with ext2. ;)

  14. Re:VIA Chipsets on Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released · · Score: 2

    I'm sure cdex works fine for you, but I dont have a copy of windows!

    This is what annoys me so much, that when I report a problem with a widely used chipset, that the response I get is "Buy a better chipset", or no response at all. The VIA/Lost Interrupt problems have been with the 2.4.x series since 2.4.9, searching the kernel mailing list brings up plenty of people having the same lost interrupt problems, and 99% of them getting ignored, or ridiculed for having a VIA chipset.

  15. Re:VIA Chipsets on Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released · · Score: 2

    I tried all of that, plus disabling DMA too. I still cant rip audio cds without a complete system freeze.

  16. Re:VIA Chipsets on Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released · · Score: 1
    Maybe you should buy a board with a better chipset then.

    Wow, you're a kernel developer, right? Well, its more helpful than the response I got from the kernel mailing list...

  17. VIA Chipsets on Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released · · Score: 2

    Can anyone tell me if its now safe to install on a VIA K7T266 board? I had lost interrupts and system freezes all over the place before.

  18. Re:nVidia latest drivers crash WineX on Review of Linux Gaming Using WineX 2.0 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Hello, whatever moderator was on crack and moderated that offtopic.

    It was a post to help people whose WineX (you know, the software the article is about!) get their WineX (there it is again!) back up and running!!

  19. nVidia latest drivers crash WineX on Review of Linux Gaming Using WineX 2.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I "upgraded" to 2930 yesterday. Glxgears was 500fps down and winex refused to run Jedi Knight.

    This was solved by going back to 2880.

    Hope that helps out some people whose games suddenly stopped working.

  20. Re:The 2.4 series. on Linux Beta Kernel 2.5.16 Out · · Score: 1

    Well I wish they would fix the annoying VIA bugs, or at least look into it.

    Since 2.4.9 I have been unable to use certain via chipsets without "lost interrupt" filling up my dmesg, either on bootup or when ripping audio tracks.

    The bugs are in 2.5 too...

    Perhaps you should take a look at this!

  24. Re:Editors PLEASE don't pick this one... on Ask Alan Cox, Activist · · Score: 2

    Geez... of course they shouldn't pick it!

    That was a humorous post intended to raise a smile. If I had wanted to ask a serious question I would have said something like... "Do you think the position on binary only modules should change?" or "Whats your opinion on subscription services such as Microsofts new licensing scheme and the Red Hat Network?"
