  1. Re:Won't somebody please think of the ATM machines on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Adam's machine is down for a while from a messed up Solaris upgrade, and he is running off of a backup file server, and then you post a link to it from Slashdot? Nice...

  2. Re:QWERTY not QWERY on Back and Forth Between Qwerty and Dvorak? · · Score: 1

    Lingua is a feminine noun, latinus is a masculine noun, so the endings will not match.

  3. Re:Plug Time on T-43 Hours and Counting · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I cannot wait to get on our club's TS2000, and see if we can hear anything from them. Plus, I have always wanted to transmit music...

  5. Re:I for one... on Shacktopus: Behemoth in a Pack · · Score: 1

    Well, my e-mail address is on there, which makes it trivial to get my address (the one where I am, not the one where I do not live, which is the one that you posted), but no one has actually gone and posted it on Slashdot. Now, I would rather that you not do that, but then again, you did once. It would be possible that you could point that out without posting my address, too, you know.

  6. Re:I for one... on Shacktopus: Behemoth in a Pack · · Score: 1

    Actually, when I went to upgrade to general, they messed up the code test, and so no one could upgrade. I actually do know code, I have just not bothered to upgrade.
    As for my callsign, yes, I know that the related info is readily available, but it has already posted on Slashdot and is trivial to get anyway. I am in college, though, so I am never at that address anyway, so it really does not matter (hint: KG4QXK/W3VC). So there you go, now people can find me if they actually care.

  7. I for one... on Shacktopus: Behemoth in a Pack · · Score: 1

    Wish 73s to him. If I had money, and I had upgraded to Extra, I would probably want to do somthing like that. It is nice to see hams still working on high-tech wireless solutions.

  8. Re:amazing! on Understanding Mac OS X Kernel · · Score: 5, Funny


    What, did it turn it into a G5?

  9. One Ring... on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 5, Funny

    This would not work. Other planets would become jeleous and greedy, all of them wanting to get The Ring from us. There would be wars, many would die, and entire civilizations would die. What we need to do is get a neutral planet, one without such greed, who can take the ring, and hurl it into Jupiter. Then, the universe will be free.

  10. Re:Cool on Looking at FreeBSD 6 and Beyond · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe that 616 is actually the Latin numerological number of the beast, whereas in Greek or Hebrew, it was 666. Interestingly, Nero's name in Latin cooresponds to 616. It depends, though, on the Alphabet being used and the translations.

  11. Re:FreeBSD on the laptop on Looking at FreeBSD 6 and Beyond · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It works great for me; I have an HP5600, and the only hardware not supported is the modem; Wireless works with NDIS (though I have a prism cardbus card as well). I have already backported the VESA drivers for a 1400x1050 console, and processor scaling for the P4M from 6, and it works great. I still love FreeBSD, and hope that it only gets better in the future.

  12. Re:Games industry isn't the only place for women. on More Girls Need Industry Jobs · · Score: 1

    ...Which is why they want more women - so that they might be better at getting females more interested in playing them. Of course, there will be debates as to what types of games are played by each sex, but the point is, it is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Hopefully, there will be more women involved, though; I should like to think that some day, the thought that anyone would even consider something like sex to be a barrier to such jobs would not occur.

    And at my school at least, even though they have a saying "if you are a girl, the odds are good, but the goods are odd", it still seems that there is a good number of women in the computer science school and studying the sciences and engineering in general. Which is a good thing.

  13. Well... on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In Soviet Russia, joke tell you!

    Oh, wait, no, that is the worst.

  14. Re:But you know what they say. on Desktop Linux on x86 - Adapt or Die · · Score: 1

    Ah, but for complex minds ... it is also a very complex OS!

  15. Finally... on Video Game Mixlist · · Score: 3, Funny

    Instead of quoting hearsay, rumours, and marketing ploys, there is finally an article on Slashdot from a legitamate news source: The Onion

    (I know, I know, the AV club is actually good, but I had to say it)

  16. Re:Trouble is, the VAX port is going nowhere on NetBSD Makes Plea for 'Cold, Hard Cash' · · Score: 1

    So, there is a VAX sitting on the floor of the Computer Club's room at my college (and a bunch in a rack too), which is there for people to work on independant maintenance of GCC. I think that it is running either NetBSD 1.6.2 or NetBSD 2.0, and has open access for people who work on NetBSD/vax and GCC/vax. The info about the vaxen for the guy who maintains them is at vaxpower.org.

  17. Re:"Seen by the Press" on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    ... or the NSA...

  18. Steve Jobs... on Fedora Core 4 Quick Tour · · Score: 2, Funny

    If Steve Jobs had taken over the marketing department, then I think that the announcement would be more like "Fedora Core runs on x86 now" or something ... wait a minute... OMG!

    Now back to my OSX/Debian Box ...

  19. Where is the Stuff? on Results in for UCSB Capture the Flag Contest · · Score: 2, Funny

    Capture the flag is not Capture the Flag unless it is Capture the Flag with Stuff

  20. Re:ok so i downloaded it. on Japan's Top Five Features Mario Inspired Beat · · Score: 1

    ... Then it must have the potential here in the US too!

  21. Re:What it means on Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, it is rather sad, but we were discussing trees in my graph theory class, and we got into a discussion about different names for them, and I commented that "shrub" is probably more common in the UK than the US, whereas "bush" is more common here, and EVERYONE in the class was thinking Holy Grail at that point, except the professor who thought that it was a political thing. Oh, when nerds get together...

    I did see the musical, though, and it was excellent.

  22. Re:Stanford's got this in the bag. on DARPA Announces 2005 Grand Challenge Semifinalists · · Score: 1

    Yeah, damn thing almost ran me over in the Morewood parking lot. I hope they win.

  23. Today... on Apple/Intel Speculation Running Rampant · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If they are going to announce it today, why don't we just wait and see instead of posting that "it could happen" right before?

  24. Re:More Like: Inductive Coupling on Mouse Uses RFID Instead of Batteries · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that is why you get a scroll of remove curse. I find that when I am playing, iron rings tend to be cursed. It is rather odd.

    Oh, wait, you are talking about inductance... Um... yeah, that would be annoying. Of course, you play NetHack with a keyboard...

  25. Re:Okay... on Vigilante Hackers use Old West Tactics for Justice · · Score: 1

    And that should be prosecuted, and mentally fix all the other spelling errors as well.
