    I, by the powers of Grayskull, humped mine foreskin unto the air to congregate her thrusts. Kims said, "Listen to my words! Wendy, mine fist is inside unto of thee and I'm fornicateing thee". I said, "Listen to my words! Oh Kim, fornicate me faster, thee fist fsckin' cunt". She said, "Listen to my words! Beget upon thine knees, baby. I covet to lick thine asshole whilst I fist fornicate thee".

    Oh my. This is funnier than Babelfish.

  7. Fermat's last theorem on Grok Goldbach, Grab Gold · · Score: 3
    Are mathematicians finally satisfied with Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem? Scientific American Ask the Experts section has comments about that and why has this theorem been so difficult to prove. Here's an excerpt:
    "Yes, mathematicians are satisfied that Fermat's Last Theorem has been proved. Andrew Wiles's proof of the 'semistable modularity conjecture'--the key part of his proof--has been carefully checked and even simplified. It was already known before Wiles's proof that Fermat's Last Theorem would be a consequence of the modularity conjecture, combining it with another big theorem due to Ken Ribet and using key ideas from Gerhard Frey and Jean-Pierre Serre.

  12. Re:Univerity distro on University of Michigan Linux · · Score: 1

    Since zombie processes are harmless (they already deallocated all used resources except the process table entry) I believe a more appropriate term could be luser or script-kiddy.

  13. Univerity distro on University of Michigan Linux · · Score: 3
    Humm... an University distro. iI probably has +2 bonus in research and -2 in probe (no prob, it's GPL anyway), gives a free network node in every site (great!), one free technology at installation time, extra drone for every four users (hmm, not good), and *may not use Fundamentalist policies* so no jihad penguins! (leave them for the Believers distro).

    OTOH a Morgan distro would be good for those who wanto to IPO, and a Hive distro would be good for security (since it already comes with a Perimeter Defense).

  14. Rhetorical questions and the dead fetus on Want More Geek Chicks? · · Score: 2
    1. Are your projects well managed and well documented in appropriate formats?
      Approprate, huh, yes. When I forget what a chunk of code or command line option does, I can guess it in quite a few attempts.

    2. Have you given attention to the user interface?
      Of course. I even used getopt_long(3) to manage long options, so clueless users can use a highly intuitive, self-explanatory interface!

    3. Does your software have the polish that's needed to gain acceptance outside the hacker community?
      Of course it does. Dominik Mierzejewski built the RPM packages, and he's not Chinese!

    4. Are your users being looked after and feeling as if they're a necessary and appreciated part of the Open Source development process?
      Except for the fact that all of them ask for an XMMS plugin (including here in /. -- thanks to all who sent me email, ugh), yes, why not? And I'll write the XMMS plugin for the next version! As I did in the previous five versions!

    5. Is your Web site up to date, and does it contain all the information it needs, presented in a consistent, logical format that makes it easy to find information?
      Sure. And what is not there is mentioned in the package docs somewhere, or if it does not correspond to the actual implementation the implementation has the authoritative information, so it's all there, just check the implementation following the steps of question 1.

    If the answer to any of these questions is "no", your software is falling short of its potential. If you've ever said that you wish there were more female geeks in the Open Source community, now may be your opportunity to welcome them into your team, not as mascots or hangers-on, but as an indispensable part of the project.

    Of course the answer of all questions is "yes", but if you're a female geek and want to improve my project by adding BP Soundmon, TFMX and VectorDean support, integrating an m68k emulator to allow Deli compatibility, you're very very welcome!

    Oh, ok. Maybe the project isn't as messy as I described... But I can't see why a female geek could make it less messy. I see female geeks as equals, i.e. as organized or disorganized as any male geek, no worse, no better as software developer. No need for Conjoined Twin Myslexia Day or whatever. Miod Vallat's MikMod, the competitor, has much better documentation -- and the last time I checked there was no girls in MikMod's credits.

    And yes, I will write the damn XMMS plugin! :)

    For "Bob" learned that the Yeti were the original race,

    As long as the user is aware that the "possible instability (or worse)" could be "filesystem trashing". I had 2.3.33 to 39 triggering BUG() calls in ext2, 2.3.40 had no such problem so far.

    I'm also trying to get ALSA 0.5.1 working but it keeps throwing up due to problems to allocate contiguous memory for DMA buffers. It doesn't seem to be kernel related however, since others have it working in the 30's and 40's. The CPiA (webcam II) video4linux driver doesn't like my system as well.

    Games were responsible for creating the market which enabled 3dfx and NVidia to mass-product $100 graphics chips which outperform $100,000 Silicon Graphics workstations.
    That's right, but for games. Many of the nice features you can find in an SGI box are not implemented in the cheap cards, like an accumulation buffer, or layers. In many cards the stencil buffer is missing. I'm currently working with OpenGL robot dynamics simulation with a high-end PC and a TNT2 card, and I would trade it for an O2 anytime.
