  1. Re:C'mon SCO! on SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence · · Score: 1

    Oh. Well they'd report that as 80*148 lines :)

  2. Re:C'mon SCO! on SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...*80* lines in *148* files?

  3. Re:Whoa! That is a lot of Pac Man! on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 1

    Yeah, an other couple hundred thousands.

  4. Re:Action Plan on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 1

    They'd probably get you by saying that the songs' titles are copyrighted and that the programs' titles are trademarked.

  5. Re:hm on The Future of Science Revealed! · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Dare I put forth a selling-as-much-ad-impressions-as-possible conspiracy theory? :)

  6. Re:hm on The Future of Science Revealed! · · Score: 1

    Ah. Well.. er it's silly to put that at the bottom! *ahem*

  7. hm on The Future of Science Revealed! · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Any reason why the questions weren't transcribed as with other Ask Slashdots?

  8. Re:The MS link on SCO Calls IBM Countersuit "Unsubstantiated Allegations" · · Score: 1

    Eh? If the insider information is anonymously leaked, how would you differenciate between actual information and made up BS? Would you actually want to?

  9. Re:International distribution - no go. on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Time to come up with cheap room-temperature superconducting wire :)

  10. heh on Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 1

    To quote Seinfeld for a change...

    *phone rings*
    Jerry> Hello? .. I'm sorry, this isn't a very good time. Can you give me your number and I'll call you back later? What's that? You don't like being called at home by strangers? Well now you know how I feel. *click*

  11. Re:Why this is sick... on Pentagon Lets You Bid on Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    Yeah? Immolate yourself in public and I'll say you're determined. Blow up innocents (you included or not) and you're a fucking coward.

  12. Re:USB Pen Drives (again . . .) on Lindows Webstation · · Score: 1

    64mb for 10$?! Where? :)

  13. Re:It don't mean a thing... on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    if you have read the parent post, he refers to kids and not the 23 yrs old in the article

  14. Re:It don't mean a thing... on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    Wow, you're pretty naive. The RIAA isn't suing to get money, they're suing to scare people into stopping their sharing activities. Obviously, they can't sue teenagers, so they do the next best thing: sue the parents, who in turn make sure that the kids will never share anything ever again. (Until they're major, at least)

  15. Re:Moore's Law on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Hm a robotic 'brain' would probably be quite different from a human brain in that you could just duplicate it's software onto a new brain.. You might have to wait 5 years to train one robot, but you could do the other ones in a few seconds.

  16. Re:Let us overwhelm them on Skeptical Reactions To SCO From Around The Globe · · Score: 1

    "WTF!! Complains jumped from 2 in the last hour to 20414 in the last 30 minutes!!"

  17. Re:Student scared off Linux in .AU on Skeptical Reactions To SCO From Around The Globe · · Score: 2, Informative

    TIAOT (this is an obvious troll), but anyways..

    Code compiled with gcc is not GPLed. Code DERIVED from gcc is (e.g. compiler optimizations or something).

    You don't need to make the source to your GPL-derived applications available unless you want to distribute that application.

  18. hm on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    Isn't this a dupe from a couple of years ago?

  19. Re:In case of slashdotting: on SCO Extorting Unixware Licenses to Linux Users? · · Score: 1

    Well that 'hate me' link sure comes handy :)

  20. Re:shakespear? on Picking Up the Pieces · · Score: 1

    Take a random-lenght binary or ascii file. Now sort all the bits so that all the 0s are at the beginning of the file and the 1s are at the end. Unless the file is 1 bit long, I seriously doubt that you could come up with the original file.

    Same thing with docu-dust(tm)(c)(r)

  21. Re:I'm not surprised about Fanning. on Napster, Audio Fingerprinting, and the Future of P2P · · Score: 1

    No he didn't! He stole it from Seth Green when he was napping!

  22. woah on NASA Test Shows Foam Could Be Culprit · · Score: 2, Informative
  23. Re:hang on... on First Dual-emission OLED Display in a Phone · · Score: 1

    You could make a switch that is depressed when the phone is closed and that mirrors the data on the screen. Problem solved.

  24. Re:It's not new, but it's big and expensive on Backscatter X-Rays Coming to Airports · · Score: 1

    at full scale, you can count the change in the guy's pocket

    Kinda easy since he only has one penny, eh?

  25. hmm... on Backscatter X-Rays Coming to Airports · · Score: 1

    A: Each full body scan of the SECURE 1000 produces approximately 3 microREMs of emission. This is equivalent to the exposure every person receives each five minutes from naturally occurring background environmental radioactivity.

    Yeah, except that you get that dose in a few seconds instead of five minutes.
