  1. Re:Oh my God! on HP To Kill 3000 System After 30 years · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    They've killed wizbit's karma! You BSDards!

  2. Re:Free link? on SuperK Neutrino Detector Severely Damaged. · · Score: 1

    The money is not the issue - the site is available via free-beer registration. But why should we give them all our confidential information 1984-wise? The level of suction on that idea is pretty high, approaching pure vacuum pretty well.

  3. Re:Wait a minute ... on Intel 4004 Turns 30 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everything that was invented by Al Gore was subsequently innovated by Microsoft.

  4. Re:how about a beow... on Intel 4004 Turns 30 · · Score: 3, Funny

    4004 Not found.

  5. Free link? on SuperK Neutrino Detector Severely Damaged. · · Score: 1

    Anyone have a no-reg-req link for nytimes? channel/archive[s]/partners prefix seems not to work. As a matter of principle, I'm not going to register, or use any of the publicly known usernames. Information like that should be free, dammit.

  6. Re:Does Maxtor have ATA133 patented? on ATA133 Controllers Have Arrived · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Are other ATA standards patented like this, by Maxtor or other companies like Western Digital or Seagate?

  7. Re:Why overclock? on AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Review 6 Weeks Before Release · · Score: 1

    An hour's work against months of waiting. Maybe you're just being lazy.

  8. You didn't get it.. on AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Review 6 Weeks Before Release · · Score: 1

    They overclocked a presently available processor, making it equivalent to one that will be released in 6 weeks.

  9. Marcel Duchamp on Are Videogames Art? · · Score: 1

    I'm aware of Duchamp's ideas, another piece of _art_ being a bottle rack, but how the fsck do you put a wheel upside down?

  10. love glove on New "Power Glove" for the PC · · Score: 1

  12. Shrinkage (was:Re:Amazing) on Ballooning into Space · · Score: 1
    What kind of shrinkage can we expect at -25C?


    I've spent weeks out in the cold (about -30C) during a military exercise. Of course we had lots of clothing, and we slept in tents with stoves. But trust me, the only thing that shrinks markedly is your bagpipe. ;-)

  13. Someone please enlighten me on Slash 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I can't use w3m anymore for /. because the current code has these stupid links:


    <a href="//slashdot.org/whatever.pl...">


    So. w3m interprets this as http://slashdot.org/slashdot.org/whatever.pl. OK, it's probably valid html since it works correctly in Mozilla and friends. But still, I wonder why the fsck does such a convention exist in the first place. More importantly, what's the point of repeating the host name for local links?

  14. Re:Make your own CDR-Audio? on Slashback: Solidity, Sneakiness, Recovery · · Score: 1

    Huh? I haven't seen different CDRs for data and audio in a long time. I've recently burned audio CDs usign Xcdroast on these 'general purpose' CDRs without problems, and they even play in my ~10 year old AKAI player without a glitch.

  24. "X" on Diagonal Design For Chips · · Score: 1
    "Dubbed the X Initiative, this consortium ..."

    So are they going to call themselves The X Consortium? ;-)

    Also, if they make this a free standard (as in free software), maybe we'll see the XFree86 line of x86 (X86? Xx86?) compatible chips.

    Not to mention the X architecture of future graphics chips being called 'the basis for windowing user interfaces'.
