  1. Re:Realistic? on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 1

    You can decode oggs in your head? Neat LAN party trick!

  2. Wow, it sounds exactly like... on Cloak of Invisibility Coming Soon? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...Metal Gear Solid! Honestly, I think the bandana would be more fun to have, but I'd settle for invisibility, even if a cardboard box works most of the time.

  3. Re:Can you run Wine? on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How the fuck is this modded to +1 Insightful?

    Some mods are complete jackholes.

  4. Re:I wish I could find a way to... on Paging Eliza: Patenting IM Bots · · Score: 1

    I'm patenting the idea that Bill Gates is evil.

    Sorry, but you can't technically patent ideas. However, it would be perfectly okay to patent an implementation of an evil Bill Gates, but there is at least one (and possibly two others) case of prior art.

  5. Time to start saving up... on Linux Video Editor Cinelerra 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    With Cinelerra, Ardour, and Blender, I may finally have reason to buy a new machine and stuff this Celeron 366 in a car or something. It's been going strong for 5 years and I'd hate to have to replace it, but there's sadly not enough power in it anymore. :(

    Ahh, the joys of been a poor (as in beer) teenage geek.

  6. Re:Flame-baitey topic on Should "B" be the Same as "b"? · · Score: 1

    capsation

    I believe you were looking for "capitalization".

  7. Re:On my way home today.... on Conspiracies And Probability · · Score: 1

    Anonvmous Coward, meet Sarcasm. Sarcasm, Anonvmous Coward. I hope you two get along.

  8. Re:Music samples on Reborn 1.0 And The State of Linux Audio · · Score: 1

    The samples are low-quality mp3s. How LAME.

    Was that supposed to be some kind of really bad pun?

  9. That's great and all... on How Many Cowpower is That? · · Score: 1

    ...700 cows to power 1,000 100-watt bulbs

    But can it power 1 100,000-watt bulb?

  10. Re:So My $1300.00 on Using Your Computer to Repel Pests · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but you can still get this very effective Eternal Life Device which uses magnets to MAKE YOU LIVE FOREVER.

  11. Re:Am I a freak?? on Audio Format Listening Tests Concluded · · Score: 1

    I can hardly tell the difference between ... CD and my old vinyl.

    I recommend that you look into a new set of ears. ;)

  12. Re:One Idea I've Been Poking Around... on Modern Retro computing · · Score: 1

    I was about to get nostalgic there, but I realized you weren't talking about the Coco. Ahh, to be a kid again. Well, a younger kid ;)

  13. Re:How annoying, and no way I would order one. on Modern Retro computing · · Score: 1

    I was really disapointed that there were no photo galleries for the Atari and NES cases. I mean for all we know those are just mockups and there are no pc parts inside.

    It sucks that they're not more obvious, but I found these pictures of the 2600: atari2600-1.jpg, atari2600-2.jpg, atari2600-3.jpg.

  14. Re:um, am I missing something? on GCC 3.1.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess that's a good reason to obsolete the architecture ;)

    Seriously though, MIPS (I believe) ported Unix to their processors, and called it RiscOS, independent of the RISCOS guys.

  15. Re:Notepad - Here's why. on Recommended Text Editors for Win32? · · Score: 1

    Of course, if you use only Notepad and then go to a *nix system, you'll have a hell of a time with Vi.

    The reverse is also true at times. I find myself typing ^[:wq! in Notepad all the time. :)

  16. Re:Okey-dokey... on A New Free Software Donation Directory · · Score: 1

    (6) ???

    (7) Profit!


    I'm sorry, it had to be done eventually.

  17. After Hours? on Hacking the Starbuck's Muzak Machine? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about other people here, but I read this as the Starbucks employees wanting to listen to their own music after hours, while they were cleaning up, closing, or whatever, not that they wanted to muck with the company's chosen mood music. But that's just me, you can read it however you'd like.

    By the way, I'd love to see an image (and damnit, not a scan of one;) of one of these disks, if only for shits and giggles.

  18. Re:Another Way to Fund Open Source Software on Public Software Fund's First Project · · Score: 1

    Eh, what? Did you just say Open Sores?

  19. Re:Who is this girl? on Quirky Open Source Convention Photos · · Score: 1

    A bit more research (actually a 5 minute trip to Google) shows that her name is Geneva Wall. Hooray for Google.

  20. Re:Who is this girl? on Quirky Open Source Convention Photos · · Score: 1

    One of lwall's daughters. She is pictured with his other daughter, Heidi, in this picture and this other picture.

  21. Re:Forgive my naiveness but on The Reverse Challenge: Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    *rimshot* mod parent up!

  22. How hard is apache to compile? on Apache Binaries Available for PS2 Linux · · Score: 1

    "the PS2 only has a 300mhz MIPS processor, and the compile time for Apache is quite hefty."

    I built Apache 2 on a Pentium 100 running OpenBSD (and ended up using the 1.3.x binaries that came with it anyway:) and it only took a couple of hours. How bad could it be on a machine that has not only 3 times the clock speed, but many more times the raw processing power?

    Now X11 or Mozilla (it's sad when a web browser takes nearly the same amount of time to build as a windowing system, but I digress) might be bad, but I can't see a huge chunk of time for Apache.

  23. Re:Let's hope Apple gets quicker.... on OS X Security Update: Apache, SSL and SSH · · Score: 1

    And the best part... I'll have $500 left over to spend on other things. Like operating system and office suite upgrades?

  24. Re:There's a very simple solution on FTC Tells Search Engines to Disclose Paid Links · · Score: 1

    You have to love that the third, umm, "featured" link has instructions on walking backwards.

  25. Re:Theora? on New Open Video Codec From Xiph/On2 · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on, Xiph is great at marketing! I mean, how could you forget Moaning Goat Meter?
