  1. Re:old systems on The Future Of The 2.0 Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    the fiasco was the few years before Y2K when we found the problem and had to spend a ton of money to make sure we could make it through

  2. Re:old systems on The Future Of The 2.0 Linux Kernel · · Score: 2, Interesting

    isn't this kind of attitude of "it works, leave it alone" that gave us that Y2K fiasco?

    then again we have the "it doesn't work, lets make it better" attitude that gave us Windows, so its your choice of the lesser of two evils

  3. wow... on Russia Loses Inflatable Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has the scoop of the launch right here

    and I was all excited that Slashdot might have actually done some real investigative journalism, oh well, another post

  4. backyard... on Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions · · Score: 1

    harvesting lots of capacitors to build a gauss gun. Insane...
    not quite insane when he needs the gauss gun to protect his backyard from being invaded by the government...

    i did enjoy how he prepared his website from the slashdot invasion.

  5. part way... on NASA Panel Says ISS Cuts Hurt Science · · Score: 1

    There's a bank being built in my neighborhood. Its about 40% the way to being completed. Its got form, you can tell what it might eventually look like, its somewhat habitable. Now I bet a panel that looked over the bank at this moment would say that it is not 'finacially-driven.' Much like the ISS not being 'scientifically-driven' at its current state.

    oh, and I just have to complain:
    2002-07-11 14:52:58 Panel: space station not 'science-driven' (articles,science) (rejected)

  6. Re:standard linux praise... on Software Engineering at Microsoft · · Score: 1

    on a 4way PIII with 50GB available?

  7. standard linux praise... on Software Engineering at Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Complete build of win2k time is 8hrs on 4way PIII and requires 50GB of hard drive space
    Is it just me or doesn't something just as strong at Win2K, say like Linux, not take quite as much to build?

    I think I'll go compile a kernel now...

  8. Its going to be a record.. on US Army to Test Laser Based Mine Clearing Device · · Score: 1

    ...for how many Dr. Evil "laser beam" posts we're going to get today

    plus, in a humvee? "laser beams" belong on the moon

  9. Judges... on Eavesblogging the Internet Law Program · · Score: 1

    Now how many Judges out there should take this?

  10. Storage space on Firm Pays 6.5 Million for Fax Spamming · · Score: 1

    Now, if we could just get this kind of settlement for all the crap in my inbox I could stay unemployed forever

    in the mean-time I will continue to invest in e-mail storage solutions and spambot technology

  11. tax $$ on Linux Games WIth Guns · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the problem with my tax dollars being spend on this is that when it doesn't work on my system, I can't return it for a refund

  12. Bipeds on Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Recommendations? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    or bicycles? I know the 50 miles is easily do-able, but that 65 mph might be a little tough at times...

  13. At least work together on Spielberg Denied Crack at Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Spielberg and Lucus make up in eachother what the other lacks. They could really make an awesome movie if they worked for it. Come on Lucus, go out with a bang on Episode III.

  14. Dilbert on Scientific Battlegrounds in Diets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My way to trim the pounds: Still pumped from using the mouse

  15. oooh... on Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    ...now it all makes sense, I think...

    actually did they make sure to note wether the short-tempered gamers were using a windoze box or not?

  16. Blind Man on Quake For the Blind · · Score: 1

    "I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

  17. the prize... on The Reverse Challenge: Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    ...for saving the honeypot, your own poohbear doll

  18. Warrenty on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    Will Earth Expire By 2050?
    Yes, because if you check the warrenty, the warrenty expires in 2049

  19. IPO's on EFF And MPAA On Broadcast Flags · · Score: 1

    Too bad mod chip companies can't go public (without lawsuit lashings) cuz stuff like this always would mean spikes in stocks

  20. More to it... on Dirty Tricks of Presentors · · Score: 2

    So are you saying there is more to it than woo'ing audiences with flashy PowerPoint(tm) shows?

  21. Closer on Xbox Runs Its First Legal Homebrew App · · Score: 1

    Ooo... That much closer to the sweetness of $200,000.

    But I'm sure that they're all in it just for the experience....

  22. A real use on An Application For 10-Gigabit Networking · · Score: 4, Funny

    This experiment shortly followed by a another showing how fast they could move MP3 collections

  23. Me too... on Lego Trebuchet · · Score: 1

    looks like a fun project if you have a pile of legos and a 4-day weekend ;)

    I wish I got the 4 day weekend too...

  24. Its one of those... on Cryogenic Mouse Mod · · Score: 1

    sites I'll have to wait until tomarrow to check, thanks to the slashdot effect.

    (wink wink.. mirrors)

  25. To me, its enhanced quality on Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms · · Score: 1

    CD's have been around about as long as myself(and yes I can legally drink), without much change in that time. For me, DVDs became the VHS movie and more, making it worthwhile. Though the CD has always been the same thing, though they could try to market better the DVD audio, which gives you the CD and more, which in turn makes it worthwhile again.

    On the other hand, there's really not that much music that I enjoy that is under control of the RIAA.
