  1. Re:how to handle slang? on Universal Free Dictionary · · Score: 1

    The first MySQL joke I've ever seen! You win.

  2. Re:I did this, but not in Europe. on Getting an IT Job in Europe as an American · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's difficult to rescind your US citizenship, and if the US State Department gets the idea you're doing it to avoid taxes, you may get blacklisted from entering the US. Check out the State Department site for more details.

  3. Re:So the footprint would be? Developed on? on Embedded Gentoo? · · Score: 1

    You could setup distcc on the target machine, and have it farm out compilations to the big, fast, cross-compiling development machine. GCC can spit out ARM stuff while running on an x86.

  4. Re:So where's the apology? The backpay? on EA Reconsiders Overtime Position · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Say, genius, how can you verify what someone says they're going to do?

  5. Re:Here's a game that ole Teddy would REALLY like. on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: 1

    Silly dave240. Don't you realize, these people can't even *see* the words "Well-regulated Militia"?

  6. Re:Compiling from source on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: 1

    I hope you're not serious about the McDonalds thing. Honestly, if you're that paranoid about spit in your food, you should avoid *all* food you don't prepare yourself. It's not just McDonalds, it's not just spit, and it's not always malicious, either. It happens.

    Oh, and I'm a gentoo user. :)

  7. Re:What if you're Jill stuck in Barry's body? on Best Buy: 20% Of Customers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    I just had the most nauseating "Planetfall" flashback.... Thanks!

    Thanks for the new (to me) word!

    Roman numerals?

  10. Re:Something most of you will not never understand on Greatest Equations Ever · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's really deep. Maybe you should get together with this guy.

  11. Re:question of character? on Ted Turner's Beef With Big Media · · Score: 1

    No, ranchers have been contributing to the destruction of the environment for a long time. Agribusiness is incompatible with environmental health.

  12. Re:The space question I've never dared ask.... on More on Inflatable Space Hotels · · Score: 1

    Google for "masturbation". It may answer your questions.

  13. Will we see a new era of game compatibilty? on Transgaming releases "WineX" 4.0 "Cedega" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Based on my experiences with winex, not fcking likely. I suppose if you bought games you knew worked with winex, you'd be happy. Picking games you like, and trying to get them to work with winex is another problem altogether.

    Of course, I haven't tried this grape thing yet, but I have a month left on my Transgaming membership. Maybe I will be bitchslapped by reality, but I am low on optimism....

  14. Brilliant Idea on Mozilla's Mini-Me · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey! Let's just crosspost everything from OSNews, and like, not even change the titles much. Oh, wait!!! It's been done! Nevermind.

    Yeah, but I read somewhere that's it's dying....

  19. Re:article is biased on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1

    Uh, hello? It's a *technical* article, not an application count....

  20. Re:One more curious search. on MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86? · · Score: 1

    I know that when I think "XFree86" and "porn," the next thing I think of is Slashdot! Not that this happens frequently. OK, it does. Never mind.

  21. Re:Try branching out.. on Singularity Sky · · Score: 1

    Word. Just *seeing* the book depresses me, now.

  22. Re:Sorry, I meant Eric... on Sun's Simon Phipps Answers ESR On Java · · Score: 1

    Whoa! Slippage! Brief moment of confusion with RMS, maybe????

  23. Re:Mirror anyone? on Review: KDE 3.2 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm using a release candidate of 3.2, so naturally I kept 3.1.whatever handy in case 3.2 didn't work out. Hah! I *tried* to go back to 3.1, and just hated it (I had loved it before trying 3.2).

    So far, tabbed browsing in konq and kwallet are my favorite features, but I haven't had much time to dig around looking for KDE easter eggs. I'll bet there's more neat stuff in there!

  24. Re:"Timepieces" means what it says on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    Telling time via an old-fashioned analog clockface is probably not the prized skill it was in your day, Abe Simpson. Why would that be pathetic? Gonna rag on them for not knowing how to use a dial telephone, too?

  25. Re:Excellent - OS ones worked OK though... on NVIDIA Drivers for 2.6 Kernel · · Score: 1

    OK, I can usually pass these by, but....

    The thought of a voltage regulator *literally* poping just grabs me. I can hear the heavenly choir from here!
