  1. Happy Birthday! on SPECIAL BIRTHDAY REPORT!!! HEMOS IS 30 :) :) :) · · Score: 1

    Happy b'day Hemos !!!!

    Thanks for Slashdot

  2. Only difference on Real Warriors Trained In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    They don't respawn when they get killed, and they
    will run out of ammo and run in circle looking for stim packs
    and extra ammos. So. Scary.

  3. Re:Bugs on Google Hiring Programmers to Work on OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    I can imagine MS Office buglist isnt that far. The problem here is more structural, and waiting for the bug count to go down may not be indicative.
    MS Word to load the same 27 MB word file takes a couple of seconds, while OO Writer took a few minutes ( not including starting up ). The footprint of MS Word with the document load was roughly 1/3rd of OO. OO 2.0 performance once the document is loaded was OK, but there's definitely lots of space for improvement.

  4. Re:gaim works for me, but loses ground from here on Linux Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact, due to its multi-messenger, multi-account capabilities, i use Gaim even on Win32. Allows me to chat with every other user, using multiple accounts. Except for the eye candy ( which lately means mostly annoying advertisement and pay features ), OSS in this case is really one step ahead, not behind. Effective and functional. After all i need to talk not to send animated hearts full-screen or buzzes that make the windows shake.

  5. Re:Message sent, but will it be received? on IBM Shifts 14,000 Jobs to India · · Score: 1

    And I sincerely EU countries will make sure that IBM loses in terms of profit what was gained with this move.

  6. Re:Very Stressful... on ISS Oxygen Generator Fails for Good · · Score: 1

    It's stressful if you think the supplies may be due on a balky american shuttle

  7. Re:Seriously? Unexplainable Phenomenon? on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    The bottom line is that the understanding of our "reality" is so limited, that this list itself it's really the only thing that doesn't make sense. If a lab comes out saying that a phenomenon doesn't make sense then they should probably invest their funds on someone else...

  8. Great on Microsoft Loses Key Engineer to Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now google will start crashing too.

  9. Re:Russia seems different since the school inciden on US to Pay to go to ISS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure most the money will go to finance their space program, which is keeping the ISS alive while the shuttles are stranded. Given this fact, it seems only fair that NASA shares part of their budget... just my 2 cents...

  10. Re:RTFM is the fix? on Saving Huygens · · Score: 1

    They -would- if they signed the NDA, which they didn't.

  11. Re:Suspicious to say the least on HardOCP Wins Against Infinium Labs · · Score: 1

    Lol, "generates"

  12. Suspicious to say the least on HardOCP Wins Against Infinium Labs · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Given the giants Infinium is competing with ( Sony and Microsoft ), I find highly suspicious that
    a web magazine has the money to go do personal searches about the CEO of a small time competitor, to the point of paying laywers to bring them to court with this kind of results...

    just my 2 cents

  13. Next step on Robot Eats Flies to Generate Power · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Invent flies that can survive highly toxic and high temperature environments

  14. Re:Rude Awakening... on On Training, Recruitment Uses For Army Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And most of all if you get killed the game should remove itself from the HD and prevent further installations :)

  15. Re:Business plan on Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think it goes more this way :

    1. Fake a source code leak of some of the shittiest code in your projects
    2. Act surprised
    3. Wait for people to upgrade to XP where these (old) bugs are not present
    4. PROFIT!
    5. Wait 4 years, goto 1

  16. Get a lawyer on What is the Best Way to Handle a GPL Violation? · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    1) Get a lawyer

    2) force them to release your own source code.

    3) find out it's the same code you have in your HD, so you just ended with another copy

    4) profit ( for the lawyer )

  17. And now on Phoenix School to Install Face Scanners · · Score: 1

    They just have to convince sex offenders to put their face on the scanner

  18. Solaris cheaper than Redhat ? on Solaris 9 x86 Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The license starts at $99 for a single cpu commercial license...

  19. Re:A Tipping point on Phoenix Sounds Death Knell for BIOS · · Score: 1

    Sure, but they still have to face the market. Maybe they will pull it out on the home desktops but i fear the will lose all their server market in a shot: they release trusted computing, all mb manufactors jump on it. Then they notice the sales drop down dramatically, because companies and people shift to other platforms that do not have DRM built in. Short after web sites that require DRM notice a dramatic drop in their traffic, while their sponsors move tho sites that are visible to everyone. Microsoft then abandons the desktop /server market to focus on gaming consoles ;)

  20. Re:Why on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    I suspect they canceled Red Hat linux because their "Enterprise" line wasnt making much money either. Now they just have to wait and see if they community will simply forget about them and let them silently go bankrupt of it will go crazy and start paying them astronomic fees for the free software they repackage..

  21. Question to mr Szulik on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why the OpenSource community should contribute to what's effectively your open beta test ( Fedora ), a project that will never be stable, and then have to buy back from RedHat their own work ? Don't you think the users will simply shift to other distributions, especially given the ludicrous price you set for an operating system that is 99% based on free software ?

  25. Re:Is manned flight really necessary ? on Goodbye, Galileo · · Score: 1

    I am not against space exploration at all, on the contrary think it is a necessary evolutionary step, I just thing that humans should be sent where really necessary, not as a "stunt" or where a remote controlled lab would prove more effective and/or economic. While i respect an astronaut "decision", i think the whole space exploration thing its of global importance and shouldnt depend on a single person's ( although respectable ) will.
