  1. Re:Most Important Things to Have in a Cubicle on How Can I Make More Of My Cubicle? · · Score: 1

    I'm so LUCKY! I've got a beatiful blond in my cubicle! Really!

    Now all I have to do is get rid of her husband......

  2. Re:vi - was: Re:look out people who use ISV answer on Best "Visual Studio" Alternative On Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The beauty of VI is your hands never leave the key board, and you never have to hit 2 keys at once (except maybe shift).

    Plus you then add in the power of regular expresion matching and you begin to see the value of vi.

    Once practiced in VI you can very rapidly make changes.

    Eg Windows Notepad to delete a line:
    "HOME" - "SHIFT" and "END" then "Delete"
    in VI
    "ESC"-"d"-"d"

    note that in Notepad you must move your right hand off the keyboard to get to the home,end, and delete keys. Where as VI your hands never leave typing position.

    Now add delete two lines:
    Notepad: add a down arrow after the delete
    vi: add a 2 before the first d.

    I really recommend visiting a VI tutorial such as http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/vi.html.

    And Yes I use WinVi when I have to use Windows :)

  3. Re:Boycott Damascus Steel!! on Recreating The Lost Art Of Damascus Steel · · Score: 5, Funny

    OK, lets invent our own process of making Damascus Steel, and make a bunch of swords (our slogan? We put the SLASH in /.)

    Then, all of us armed with the swords will first go get Dimitry freed, then proceed to the whitehouse to make some demands.

    Remember Congressmen (and the pres for that matter) wear SILK ties.

  4. what the? on MSNBC on Slashdot · · Score: 1

    What the heck is this poll?

    Is slashdot a little worried about their financial situation of andover.net?

    And why is there over 3000 votes but only one comment.

  5. Re:True story. on Are The Digits of Pi Random? · · Score: 1

    in vi
    :%s/666/666/g

    Vi will find and replace all occurances of 666 with 666 and give you the number of replacements.

  6. Re:porn is... on US Congress Wants .kids TLD · · Score: 1

    At minimum the .xxx would enable the begining of some segregation. .xxx would only indicate that the content may be considered of a sexual nature. be that nude art, erotica, or hardcore pr0n.

    What about *.er.xxx for erotica, *.art.xxx, *.hc.porn for hardcore, and even .biz.xxx for porn business information? as volentary measures for the porn industry of course...

    the way .ca works: *.province.ca - you only have presance in that province, *.ca - you are national. Applied to .xxx: *.hc.xxx only hardcore, *.art.xxx only nude art, *.xxx must have some of everything *lol*

  7. Re:.xxx? on US Congress Wants .kids TLD · · Score: 1

    Thank you :)

    I like the .disney point to..

  8. Re:.xxx? on US Congress Wants .kids TLD · · Score: 1

    I agree the .xxx would be excellent, but we don't need the .kids.

    if the .xxx is enforced to be porn only, itallows a simple filter to adequately block all access to .xxx. Also it allows indexing of porn pages to be specifically targeted without relying on content. This means that it will be even easier for those who want to see porn to get it, and easier to advoid it for those who don't.

    I do think porn is a type of free action and free speech, and as such (pedofiles, and beastiality excluded) should not be restricted as such. But having the .xxx would quickly become easier to find than .com's.

    Plus it would save unsuspecting people at work (from likes of whitehouse.com).

  9. Re:Profits on Indrema's John Gildred Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    The console probably will be a bit more than the others but what is key that you seem to have missed is that it will be free to give a way a game (shareware anyway). But as for profit making games? Thats probably where they are looking to make their money

  10. Re:How much faster is ATA/66 over ATA/33 anyway? on Linux Now Supports Ultra ATA/100 · · Score: 1

    Actually ATA/66 has support for up to 4 devices per interface.

  11. Re:My thoughts? on U.S. is "Just About OK for Y2K" · · Score: 1

    I too am afraid of the public. With all the hype in the media about Y2K and banks losing money, people may choose to withdraw large sums of money out of banks and stocks.

    I feel this may have devisitating economical implications. Imagine the losses as the stock market goes down and the banks have no money.

  12. Re:offshore confusion on Nauru: Real life Kinakuta · · Score: 2

    Even the working stiffs pay income tax on intrest earned.
    With an off shore bank account such as this you could earn your money (paying income tax) then transfer it the the offshore account.

    From the offshore account you invest it. Intrest earned goes back to the offshore account. No tax's on the intrest.

    Yes this would probably be illegal.

  13. enough on Red Hat's Certification Program Questioned · · Score: 1

    Enough of this fighting.
    As long as Red Hat remains compatible with all other distributions of linux what does it matter?

    We need to advoid the bickering and concentrate on maintaining OpenSource and standards that will allow distributions to remain compatible.

  14. Some good code on Open Source Windows · · Score: 1

    All MS code is note junk. Remember that microsoft hires leaders and genius's. With the $$$ they pay they do get some of the best programming talent available in the world today.

    Their downfall has always been a lack of direction within the company. 2 or 3 groups of people all designing similar products with different goals. Their other downfall is the attempt to reuse too much code.

    Releasing the code could allow the development of api's to support more os's: just think releasing a
    /.office suite for windows,linux,bsd,sun etc.. with no porting required...
