  1. Re:Movies (addition) on XFree 4.1.0 Out · · Score: 2

    the other video players that use avifile play divx/asf much faster for me than aviplay. You should give Mplayer a try.

    ..,..?..,,.,..?.,,

    Just balancing out parent post.

  3. Re:AI aboard on A.I. Software To Command NASA Mission · · Score: 1

    Yep, the NASA engineers had IRC on the big screens for a half a day trying to track down the rip.

    Over your head.

  5. Re:OT: Slashdot Submission process... on First Legal Test of the GPL · · Score: 1

    With elegant prose like that how could you have been rejected so much!

    Holding breath.

    Wow, so what's it really like growing up w/ a learning disability?

    3 cheers for I2!

  11. Re:Hey hey hey, good bye on Courts Gives Napster 72-Hour Deadline · · Score: 1

    "Do we arrest gun dealers when an angst filled teen kills his tormentors?"

    Bad analogy.

    Do we arrest gun dealers (pawn shop proprietors) who traffic in merchandise they have GREAT reason to suspect stolen? Of course.

  12. I call it progress... on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 4

    30 Years ago they'd have teargassed and shot!

  13. Re:IDE RAID? It's already been done. on More Juicy Dual-Processor Goodness · · Score: 1

    Whoa there captain obvious!

    Pretty sure the fuss here is over the dual socket a -- the kt7-raid is one of many boards to have the hpt370 controller integrated.

  14. Geek Profiling? on Voices From The Hellmouth Revisited: Part Ten · · Score: 1

    to encourage students to anonymously turn in classmates whom they consider depressed, dangerous or potentially violent, this horrifically stupid Geek Profiling would be blatantly unconstitutional...

    They aren't being asked to turn in geeks, with the point being that geeks have a high(er) tendancy towards these things. They are being asked to turn in people who _are_ depressed, dangerous, or potentially violent.

    If loving taffy was a crime, and It was shown that blacks love taffy at a statistically higher level than non-blakcs, reporting suspected blacks for investigation would be 'profiling'.
    Then again, if it isn't sensational it probably can't stretch out for 10 installments.

  15. Re:Oh no! on Corel to Sell Off Linux Division · · Score: 2

    A couple more posts and you'll bang out Hamlet.

    Don Giovanni?!? Who's that dude!

  17. Re:Will go wrong choice... on Best Supported Video Card For Linux/XFree86? · · Score: 1

    Yes, stay away from the GeForce 2 MX, UNLESS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO READ AND/OR OPERATE A COMPUTER.

    Sure you have to be careful to get rid of old GL stuff, but it is pretty well documented, and pretty logical which files will cause problems.

    The GeForce 2MX is pretty damn sweet under xfree86, although I believe my shady motherboards APM was causing crashes.

  18. Re:teaching method on Tutoring A Child Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    I'm always surprised when I see people brag about having large IQ scores at an early age -- isn't that supposed to be the case? By the design of the IQ test, if you take it as a child doesn't it get cut by a fourth or so for your 'adult' score?

  19. If I had a linux arm... on Corel To Sell Linux Arm · · Score: 1

    I'd enable fingerd and drive by Redmond, WA.

  20. Re:'Supporting 30 PHD's' on A Pair of Google Bits · · Score: 1

    Whoa, "burnt out from some other _profession_".

    Burnt out from finals, myself :)

  21. 'Supporting 30 PHD's' on A Pair of Google Bits · · Score: 1

    Ouch ouch ouch. I hope a good number of them are in it 'for the love of the game' or maybe burnt out from some other impression.

    I could see how they would be difficult to sustain on 'sponsored links' and selling to netscape/yahoo etc. I wouldn't mind seeing more corporate sponsorship, i just don't want another all-encompassing portal to stare at.

  22. Cute link. on Linux 2.2.18 Released · · Score: 3

    'mirrors' points right to www.kernel.org!

  23. Alternate Reality on Warez and Abandonware · · Score: 1

  24. Re:no offense... on How Can New Programmers Contribute to Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Don't put words in his mouth. He claimed only to have taught himself these languages, and openly admits to being inexperienced.

    Because these statements come so closely together, if you manage to misconstrue them you either have a chip on your shoulder or a sack of shit on your neck.

  25. Re:question about Linux on S/390 on Major Linux Deployments · · Score: 1

    Another big point is the speed at which the VM's can communicate with eachother.
