  1. Battle Chess on Automated Chess Battling · · Score: 1

    Yeah... but do they have guys that fight each like Battle Chess for NES? Battle Chess could take any of these fools anyday.

  2. Re:Smalltalk is obsolete on Smalltalk Solutions 2001 Trip Report · · Score: 2
    Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Do not mention Scheme! It is the bane of my past semester at college.

    And it reminds me that I have an assignment due in about 4 hours. Waaaaaaa......

  3. Qwest/US West users may now relax on Security Issues For Many Alcatel DSL Modems · · Score: 2

    Qwest/US West DSL users (me included) may relax. They are not affected :)

  4. I always enjoyed my magical sword on Rewriting The Past With Zelda · · Score: 1

    I always enjoyed using my magical sword. Zwangggg!

  5. Re:wtf is bonobo? on Bonobo 1.0 released · · Score: 1

    not sure... but I did find a great link entitled Bonobo Sex and Society.

  6. Re:Putting Things in Perspective on NASA Prototype Plane Scheduled To Attempt Mach 5+ · · Score: 1
    Uhmm.. this makes absolutely no sense. Or are you just trying state the obvious?

    Here's your statement:
    If an (insert object here), which normally moves at less than (insert slow speed here) where to travel that fast, it would be travelling 5000mph.

    What object does not work here? Any object in the world, from antelope, to zipper, would work.

    If a stupid geek, who kept repeating 'all your base are belong to us' and normally moves at 2mph, where to travel that fast, he would be travelling at 5000mph (and hopefully would be ripped to shreds).

  7. 5000mph != Mach 5 on NASA Prototype Plane Scheduled To Attempt Mach 5+ · · Score: 1
    5000mph is good deal faster than Mach 5. Especially at higher altitudes, where it is cooler, with less humidity, and less pressure (STP).

    Mach 5 ~ 3750mph.
    5000mph ~ 6.66 mach

  8. Re:wtf is bonobo? on Bonobo 1.0 released · · Score: 1
    Well, the problem with that is most of those links are about the original Bonobo.

    It's a primate! And having taken an anthropology class, it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the link.

    So... from following your wonderfully discovered links, they'd learn that there was a post about a new version of a primate. Or perhaps the first, non beta version, of a primate.

  9. Re:Strongarm tactics on Rec.humor.funny Threatened by MasterCard · · Score: 2

    Parody is probably, by far, the most protected form of free speech. There are many many precident setting cases. Many of which date from the earliest years of the US when governors/mayors would get upset at a newspaper columnist's cartoons and try to get him arrested.

  10. Re:. . .but it could be a GODSEND to development. on Microchips That Evolve · · Score: 1

    and then we're all out of jobs... yippee!!!

  11. Oh... G4/AGP is aka Sawtooth? OH! on Apple: First to Latest · · Score: 1
    (all who knew that the G4 AGP was codenamed "Sawtooth" raise your hand!)

    Me was under the impression that it was common knowledge.

  12. Re:The Great Multimedia OS! on OS X · · Score: 1
    What DVD playback software comes with Windows? NONE.

    Except for the DVD playback software that comes with Windows. (dvdplay)
    Thanks though.

    And any computer you purchase that has a cdr drive comes with CDR software preinstalled.

    See... this is the kind of post that should be Score: 5, Funny.

    Squawking ASCII values into a tin can... that's great stuff.

  15. Re:The ultimate hacker movie on Hollywood and Hackers · · Score: 1
    How can you say that Hacker's was realistic? That's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

    Yeah, that part with the viruses was really realistic. How they danced across the screen like big packmans.

    And how the super computer was devised of those big pillars. That was realistic too. And how when you hacked into the super computer, you floated around in these big pillars and stuff.

    Wargames was far more realistic.

  16. Re:The Great Multimedia OS! on OS X · · Score: 1

    Workarounds? For semi-major features of an OS? There's no monitor support... but I could hook up a teletype. How's that for a work around? I just... for some odd reason... want a complete OS when I purchase one. If MS would try this type of crap, the out cry (and mockery) would be deafening.

  17. The Great Multimedia OS! on OS X · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's _finally_ out! Thank goodness for that, the latest iteration of the greatest OS for multimedia functions ever. Now, I got OS X installed. Let's go watch some DVDs! ... oh... er... wait.... no initial DVD support. Heck, watching DVDs isn't that big of deal. I think I'll just burn some new CDs to listen to in my car! ... oh... damn... again... uhm... shoot... I think I'll just look at the pastel colors... woop.

    No the empire state building is not the tallest in any category. Sorry, but you're wrong. and the truth.. shall whatever

  20. Re:a 64bit OS... on OS/390 Replaced By z/OS · · Score: 1

    not trying to be rude or anything... but if I had made that comment... I'd probably change my slashdot username. That kind of remark could follow you around for a long long time.

  21. Re:I would support a video game classification sys on B.C. Officially Proposes Video Game Regulations · · Score: 1

    Come on now... your child playing violent video games does not cause him/her to become a killer/rapist. Bad parenting/lack of good parenting is a much bigger factor. If you raise your kid right, it won't matter how violent the games they're playing. They'll still make the right decisions about life.

  22. Re:Hydrogen powered? on Hydrogen Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    neither... I prefer to store my gasoline in a rusted out metal gas tank. It matches my rusted out car.

  23. I figured it out! on Hydrogen Powered Cars · · Score: 2

    See... we'll make some hydrogen powered generators to create the hydrogen we need to power the hydrogen powered cars. Then to power those generators, we'll make even bigger hydrogen powered generators... and then bigger... and bigger! Amazing! Oh... and imagine a beowulf cluster of these things.

  24. Another bunch of non-news... woopie on Georgia Tech Implements Wireless Campus Net · · Score: 1

    Add Stanford to the list of universities who have had wireless internet/network access. For 4 years, or more (I'm pretty sure at least 5).

  25. Oh, really? on Emergence of SMT · · Score: 1

    and understand why under an OS such as Win 98 or ME, even a single Pentium III 1 GHz will handily outperform a dual-Pentium III 500 MHz setup. Wow... isn't that amazing? A 1 GHZ P3 will out perform dual 500mhz P3s in Win98/Me! WOW! One reason may be that Win98/ME doesn't support dual processors? Holy balls batman!
