  1. Ahh, I see... on RIAA Seeks Estimated $97.8 Billion From MTU Student · · Score: 1

    the numbers provided show the RIAA is seeking some $97 billion dollars, not trillion.

    So you meant trillion with a b! It all becomes clear.

  2. Re:Isn't this the problem with Linux? on Duke3d in Linux · · Score: 1

    The Build engine has a certain feeling that Quake and Doom couldn't replicate. Just let them port it and leave the Quake hacking for the QuakeForge guys. (Yes, I know the site is down at the moment. Google if you care.)

  3. Alright... on Calamari Anyone? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who read the headline and thought it was about a merging of the Camino and Safari codebases?

  4. Re:Sale of DVD Burners on First Certified DivX/DVD Player Released · · Score: 1

    why encode the DVD onto DivX, and then burn it onto a DVD-rom?

    To shove 4.7GB of DivXed crap on one disc.
    4.7GB / 700MB = ~7 average DivXed videos
    That's a signifigant physical space savings.

  5. It's a conspiracy, I tell you! on OpenBSD 3.3 Pre-Orders Available · · Score: 1

    Hmm, they have shirts for 3.0, 3.2, and 3.3. What the hell, I really liked the 3.1 artwork. Oh well, bow to Theo's wishes and all that.

  6. Just a suggestion... on British Telecom Pushes Universal ID Check System · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't 'RUU' be a better ancronym for an ID system? I guess it loses its graphics designer-friendly symmetry then, though.

  7. Re:Just a little reminder on Linus Has Harsh Words For Itanium · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, he writes the x86 emulator (the 'code morphing' part) that runs on the Crusoe's bare hardware.

  8. Bah, this isn't that big of a deal... on Ogg Vorbis Portables On The Way · · Score: 1, Informative

    Now Xiph.org merchandise, however, is something I've been waiting a long time for. Go buy some, kids. The Xiph dudes get some cash out of it, and you get to pimp your fly audio compression.

  9. Re:The photo on PCMCIA Announces NEWCARD Format · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I've never seen a 6 MHz 64-bit PCI bus before. Maybe I'm just behind the times a bit.

  10. Just a thought.... on Celeron 2GHz Cache Detection? · · Score: -1, Troll

    from the matching-what's-reported-with-what's-really-there dept.

    I think Slashdot could use some help with that at times, too.

  11. Re:Just recently bought a Mac... on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    Ahh, the Apple Proatmeal keyboard. Damn things make it feel like you're typing into a big Jell-O cube.

  12. Re:Hardware dependent speed increase? on Safari Beta Updated · · Score: 1

    If you like Chimera and you don't to have to wait, just throw it into your Login Items and click the Hide checkbox. Works pretty well, although I need to figure out a way to turn off the splash screen.

  13. Re:Leakage on Broadband over Powerlines · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, there were URLs. I heard the streetlights were blinking them out in binary. Talk about privacy invasion!

  14. Re:Thank you Apple... on Apple's X11 Beta Updated · · Score: 1

    I hadn't even thought of that! Damn, there goes that idea. Well, perhaps focus follows cursor in the current application? That'd be okay too, I suppose.

  15. Thank you Apple... on Apple's X11 Beta Updated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The lack of focus follows cursor in the pretty Aqua-y WM is the one thing that really bummed me out about 0.1. Now if I could only get it for the rest of the operating system...

  16. Well, it's finally happened... on Corporate Espionage Leads To Faulty Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has gone bureaucratic on us and is filing stories in trip li cate.

  17. Re:Sheep born with pig's heart on its neck on Slashback: NWLink, Vivendi, Gatherings · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I heard about that.

  18. Re:Obviously right == controversial? on KDE And Gnome Cooperate On Interface Guidelines · · Score: 1

    By the way, the paper goes over the top so it's easy to reach.

    (+1, "Obviously Right")

  19. Re:NOOOOO!!! on KDE And Gnome Cooperate On Interface Guidelines · · Score: 2, Funny

    emacs I still haven't figured out what it is ...

    It's an operating system with a mediocre text editor and insane interface. It makes Windows XP look like BeOS.

  20. Wow... on Xbox Losses Double, Xbox Shrinks · · Score: 1

    I guess somebody finally showed them a picure like this.

  21. Re:OS X on Major Step Forward For SVG in the Desktop · · Score: 1

    contain your icon in three (four? - can't remember) different formats

    Four: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 128x128.

  22. Re:The OS world from the 'GO' perspective on ReactOS 0.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    3D Go? Sir, you just melted my brain...

  23. Re:screenshots? on ReactOS 0.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I certainly hope you realize that those are all screenshots of ReactOS running under Bochs running under Windows XP. Only the second image shows off the ReactOS GUI, which seems to be a WINE derivative.

  24. Re:I don't understand this. on SDF Punted, Due to DDOS · · Score: 1

    Well, I went ahead and RTFA, and it turns out that the machine *was* shut off, but it sounds like it would have happened no matter what the OS.

  25. Re:I don't understand this. on SDF Punted, Due to DDOS · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe their *network connection* was cut, not the machine itself. Bandwidth is not immune to DDoS attacks.

    (uugh, IHBT)
