  1. a fond memory from my monochrome youth on Glider PRO Becomes Freeware for the Mac · · Score: 5, Funny

    can't beat 2-bit nudie splash screens!

    Glider+ 3.1.2 ruled my ass, although not quite as hard as Falcon.

  2. Okay... on Your Own Linux Wireless Access Point · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Props to Seebs, but exactly HOW is this better than dropping $30 on a Linksys access point?

  3. Re:Emacs people: on The Open Group's New Open Source Strategy · · Score: 1

    the -p stands for 'predicate'. it denotes something that returns true or false (T or NIL).

  4. Let's make a deal on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Eureka! I've got it.

    We can switch lives. I bike everywhere, including to work, so exercise is omnipresent. How about I take your job drinking beer ten hours a day, and you get some exercise. To keep it fair we can split our pay evenly. You can even fuck my girlfriend sometimes (again, good exercise).

    Now, does your workplace have taps, or is it all bottled beer? Domestic or imported? Is there a good bitter or porter there? I must know these things before we continue.

    You're welcome.

  5. LSC... on Linux Security Cookbook · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    SUCKS!!!!!!!

    (if you know, you know)

  6. Imminent death of IPv4 predicted!! on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Great, another "we're running out of IPs, really, for real this time guys we mean it" story. I mean, sure, IPv6 will eradicate this problem (while introducing a slew of new ones) but IPv4 is fine for a while. We should just revoke the IPs for China and other firewalled nations who dont' play nice with DARPAnet.

  7. fuckin whatever on AOL Lays Off 50 Netscape Coders · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    web coders are destined to be jobless any damn way.

  8. Linux? on Review Of Yopy 3700 Linux PDA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Isn't a PDA OS better suited to be a low-footprint gem like QNX?

  9. Re:for heat, go retro on AMD's Next Generation Processor Technology · · Score: 1

    I carried it there (5th Floor), of course!

  10. for heat, go retro on AMD's Next Generation Processor Technology · · Score: 3, Funny

    one (Boston) winter, I heated my dorm room quite adequately with a Sun 4/260, also using five big 2GB SCSI drives to fine-tune temperature. warm as hell.

  11. Re:Finally I can use the Lab MACs on Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs · · Score: 2, Informative

    NetBSD's run on macppc for a long, long, long time.

  12. you're half right on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 1

    Audiophiles will give up a little reproduction quality for a more pleasing tone; the sweetest pure-triode rigs on the market yield about 6% total harmonic distortion (as opposed to <0.05% on the best solid-state amps).

    But you can tear the Watt Puppies out of their cold, dead hands. Frequency response is everything; audiophiles like it even and wide.

  13. Re:Why do this? on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 1

    hey, at least us drummers can make it to 4 (or 8, if we can start from 5)!

  14. a REBUTTAL on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Congratulations - this troll got modded much higher than your last one.

    Bet you're proud of finding that one. Even the most cursory check through my posting history confirms that you are wrong. Furthermore, the fact that your only two comments ever have been trollbusts that you posted today points to you as lord of the lower moral ground between us.

    Your astroturfing has also been effective. I like how Bold Marauder (impressive trolling history) both posted in this thread a request to "mod the parent up" and also posted a similar request to the Trolltalk forum.

    Sorry. I'm not Bold Marauder. He has existed for several days. As evidenced by the five-digit UID, I have been around slightly longer.

    I like how the troll journal to you linked to says these people are ignoring him because "they have almost certainly been advised by legal counsel not to speak about it in public"!

    I cannot speak for sllort; however I'd bet my firstborn that sllort is better-informed than you, and has thought about it much longer than you have.

    If you guys really think he hacked you boxes and aren't just trying to garner attention, why don't you contact the police instead of whining incessantly on Slashdot.

    What are you, in fucking Kindergarten? This is real life. You contact the authorities with something less than $1000 and they'll bury your case so deep it pollutes the water three counties away.

    The point is not that hacking a troll is excessive, or totally undeserved. The point here is that Fyodor, although a brilliant security hacker, is legally and morally corrupt and Slashdot sends the wrong message to young geeks by interviewing him. He was trolled, he didn't like it, and he saw fit to break federal law to exact his childish revenge on a minor.

    With great power comes great responsibility (where have I heard that before?). Fyodor hacking a 16-year-old's Wintendo is bullyish to put it lightly. I don't think such men should be glorified without disclaimer.

  15. Slashdot News Flash: Fyodor is a black-hat on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 1, Interesting

    There's a good writeup here, but the gist is that Fyodor is not above r00ting the Windows box of someone who fooled him into thinking they were a linux chick.

    Don't mess with a black-hat's untapped sex drive, I guess. Still seems weird that we're looking at small-time black-hat scum as Intervew material.

  16. furthermore on RTCW: Enemy Territory Full Version Released · · Score: 0

    why am I seeing red in Light Mode?

  17. Re:Old news... on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    Good for the end user, but going to be a pain in the ass for software developers to take advantage of, is my guess. :-) ...Until someone ties it into the OS, a la Macintosh Quartz.

  18. Re:My open source contribution to NASA on NASA Report Advocates Switch to Open Source · · Score: 5, Funny

    Again, in Ada please.

  19. You're being stupid on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 0, Troll

    too bad, Dr. dre.... being bit by your own is the only way to get you to wake up.

    You clearly demonstrate miscomprehension of the situation.

    Dr Dre has never been against sampling. it is suicide for a hip-hop artist to be against sampling. this is the one thing that basically all rappers/producers can agree on.

    Dre is against file sharing of music. Not sampling. Are you too dim to see the difference?

  20. Re:What keeps 'em going on Still Life in the Apple II Community · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nonsense! The Z80 was the finest 8-bit architecture ever!

    OH YEAH ASSHOLE? WELL HOW ABOUT <40kB deleted> YOUR WIFE AND YOUR DOG!!!11

    on the other hand, perhaps we should unite and revolt against the 16-bit word heretics...

  21. What keeps 'em going on Still Life in the Apple II Community · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What is it that keeps such an old platform going?

    Anyone who knows the joy of programming machine language for the 6502 knows the answer.

  22. maybe not accidental? on "False" Open source Representative Tells EU Patents OK · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I believe "1488" is a number with White Power significance (14 = 14 Words, 88 = Heil Hitler).

    But don't take my word for it, the Anti-Defamation League knows.

  23. that's illegal too on Suing Telemarketers Made Simple · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I believe that telemarketers are prohibited by law from blocking their phone number, so add that to the list of infractions.

    Heh, a little more digital action, and I'm liable to spew DNA all over my bowl of hot grits!! I blame the jpgs of Natalie Portman.
