  1. One word: on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 1

    lzip.

  2. Re:This is heaps good on The Unemployed Working on OSS Projects · · Score: 1

    One of the problems with work-for-the-dole is that it drives all wages down to have government-mandated sub-minimum-wage workers out there. All those people who claim that OSS puts proprietary programmers out of work would have a fit over it.

  3. Re:Is it kernel 2.2 yet? on Sarge is Now Frozen · · Score: 2, Funny

    We've been around Slashdot this long and you actually expect sense out of us?

  4. Re:so theoretically on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 2, Interesting

    in which you can travel anywhere in time after the machine was switched on

    I can do that, but unfortunately the speed is fixed. One second per second.

  5. Re:Censored or Mindfucked? What's better? on Microsoft Demands Removal Of Longhorn Images · · Score: 4, Funny

    He'd probably claim that they were an integrated part of Windows and couldn't be shipped separately.

  6. Its target rendezvous target? on DART Succumbs to Fuel Problems · · Score: 1

    This NASA mission brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department...

  7. Re::scratches head: on Newspapers To Offer Their Own News Aggregators · · Score: 1

    I imagine The Guardian already pays for news feeds they can reprint from, and that they'll have negotiated this usage as well.

  8. Re:Begin the racist rants on Indian Call Center Employees Hack US Bank Accounts · · Score: 2, Funny

    'Ivan Samuel Thomas' doesn't sound like an Indian name... but that could just be my racist background showing (?).

  9. Re:When will it end? on Gamespot's April 1 Rumor Control · · Score: 1

    No, the previous years had many, many lame jokes which all sucked too.

  10. Re:Fingers Crossed... on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1

    What about Chris Morris?

  11. Re:Gone already? on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Weird... doesn't work with a Slashdot 'Referer:'. I wonder why? Anyway, change the %23 to a # when Google gives you a 404 and it should work.

  12. Re:Gone already? on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Worked for me before, directly from that link... I suspect Google.

  13. Re:So did you on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but not the clickable version. Thus the reason for making it clickable. Otherwise we'd all have to recode our URLs to make them fit Slashdot's width limit... besides, your link is to a different page, with different content.

  14. Re:9th, not 10th on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1, Funny

    Withnail in Spaaaaace!

    No, seriously, I think he'd be good (I liked that Flash-based audio story). Given what I've seen him popping up in, too, he could use the work... although I liked 'Posh Nosh'.

  15. Re:Gone already? on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not sure if it changed, or if the submitter or editor mangled the link...

    http://www.google.com/webmasters/faq.html#prefetch ing

    Based on where it's inserting the space, I'd say both. (Submitter mangled, editor posted without checking.)

  16. Re:legitimate uses of P2P on Interview With Mark Cuban About Grokster · · Score: 5, Funny

    If they think free porn is cool, they could post nude pictures of themselves on their blog.

    Please, don't encourage them.

  17. Re:But of course! on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1
  18. Re:All the founders knew they were breaking the la on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1

    Please set me as a foe.

  19. Re:So that means... on D&D Blamed For Stabbing Deaths · · Score: 1

    Well, it's definitely a fantasy.

  20. Re:Again, stop lying! on UN Wants To Regulate Internet · · Score: 1

    I can't hold him responsible for this. It isn't his job to tell his subordinates to double - or triple - check their facts.

    It was pretty obvious that the leadership knew the answers they wanted, and were marginalising anyone who actually told them the truth on WMDs. Look at that guy whose wife was named as an FBI agent... allegedly a Rove leak.

  21. Re:Wait a minute! on Four Inducted Into SF Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    Blade Runner could easily have been made without Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep as a source text, and the film was hardly a 'blockbuster' in the mode of Total Recall or Minority Report. I can't say my life is materially improved by the presence of those two films in the world. Also, I could really have done without Spielberg pissing all over A.I.

  22. Re:Wait a minute! on Four Inducted Into SF Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    without Star Wars, there wouldn't be sufficient public interest in science fiction to get Hollywood studios willing to fund Spielberg sci-fi flicks or blockbusters based on Philip K. Dick stories!

    You say this like it's a bad thing.

  23. Re:Defrag first, man. on Comprehensive Guide to the Windows Paging File · · Score: 1

    Only for eunuchs... oh, I mean Unix. Sorry.

  24. Re:Prison? on First Swede Prosecuted For File Sharing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  25. Re:Other news sites removed by Google on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 1
    you are a flaming retard ... and let the big boys talk?

    Way to undercut your own point.

    Is the paper a religious periodical?

    No, it's a real newspaper published by a church -- The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Mass., USA.
