  1. Re:Glass half empty on Downtown Baltimore To Get Massive Surveillance Network · · Score: 1

    LOL! Police do investigative work?? I thought they just handed out tickets...Anyways...Just because you're in a public place doesn't mean you aren't seeking a certain degree of anonymity. Cities are a great place to be isolated because everyone is so busy with their day-to-day lives to pay attention to you.

  2. Re:Sun will Shine at the Big Blue on SCO Says No Way To a GPL Solaris, Moves Trial Back · · Score: 1

    Ooooo. AIX and IRIX. Linux shivers in it's POSIX boots. Should we fear HP-UX as well?

  3. Re:Solution on Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship? · · Score: 1
    Jesus. You think during the three times I hit preview I would have actually read it.

    Not if her name is Anya...

    "Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes
    They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
    And what's with all the carrots
    What do they need such good eyesite for anyway"

  5. Re:I doubt it... on Rendering Shrek@Home? · · Score: 1

    Why do I keep reading comments like this. Who cares if you were to gather a few minutes video (like you'd be able to collect that many consecutive frames anyway). You still wouldn't have any of the dialog or sound. Previewing the movie ahead of schedule would be a non-issue.

  6. Re:24 "named" individuals declined to settle on RIAA Sues Nearly 500 New Swappers · · Score: 1

    Now *THAT* is an excellent worm. I like that. "Sorry, RIAA my computer was infected by the jukebox worm in April." That would be priceless.

  7. Re:Great site & Favs on Weblog System Features Compared · · Score: 1
    First, you can't say it's unbiased--it only has PHP.

    I noticed that. I was scanning for the blog that used mysql and perl with a GPL license only to be sorely disappointed. I would have thought that would be a represented configuration.

  8. Re:here is why they'd use 2.4.19 on Sun Java Desktop 2 Review · · Score: 1

    If you use SCSI you'll take 2.4.21 over 2.4.19 in a heartbeat.

  9. For you country folk... on Monsanto Wins Case Over Patented Canola · · Score: 1

    Put some sidewalk over it. That'll kill it. You don't see any Canola popping out of the Empire State Building...

  10. Re:I took that bit as a personal challenge on THX-1138 Finally Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    That's only registered users, not a hit-counter.

  11. Re:Worst Explanation? on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    They probably meant the amount of weight the plane was carrying. Too much fuel or too much cargo.

  12. Re:Dear Mr. Editor, on DNA Sculpture Constructed with Shopping Carts · · Score: 1
    What next? Caffeine molecules made out of mountain dew vending machines?

    Wait. You're saying youwouldn't want to see that??

  13. Re:It's all about battery life on Nintendo, Sony Start Handheld Gaming Battle At E3 · · Score: 1

    The PSP is supposed to be as powerful a system as the PS2. While the DS on the other hand does have a 3D processor, it's nothing on the scale of the PS2 or GameCube. Nintendo intends to create a device with good battery life from the start, while Sony just wants to impress buyers with flashy graphics.

  14. Re:Article Troll on Bill Gates Fined $800,000 Over Stock Purchases · · Score: 1

    Hey, Killjoy. We're talking about Bill Gates not Windows so your anti-slashdot, linux smear campaign has sunk to a new low. This would be just as note-worthy if it were happening to Linus, but, of course, it's not.

  15. Not really so bleak... on Red Hat Linux 9 Reaches End-of-Life · · Score: 1

    I started using Linux with Red Hat 4.2, and I've been a loyal Red Hat customer for years. Lately, I have begun to dalliance with other Linux distros. Personally I now use Slackware 9.1 and am very satisfied with it (The installation is absurdly easy and the system runs solidly). Nevertheless, I understand Red Hat's decision and even respect it from a business standpoint. Red Hat's backporting 2.6 features into thier Enterprise product will really strengthen Linux in the business market. Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies need strong, fast, stable kernels with support for more memory and processors. Red Hat has decided to fill a niche of the market in a way that other companies haven't. I think this is an interesting move and I wish them lots of success. While it is unfortunate that they cannot continue to reach out to both users, I think Fedora will turn out to be great distro in the future.

  16. Re:GNAA presents.. on 419er Lost in Space · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why is this modded up? I'm sure many Slashdotters (like myself) find it offensive and off-topic.

    1) The nigerian is not said to be gay.
    2) Nigger is an offensive word that shouldn't be used to describe *anybody*.
    3) Said Nigerian is not *actually* from Outer Space.

    Moderators please mod parent to *OFFTOPIC*.

  17. Re:is 35 MB enough. on Iomega Ships 35GB 'Son of Jaz' · · Score: 1

    The 35GB drives hold 90GB compressed (according to Iomega).

    Remember, at one point in time, auto mechanics were considered a very skilled white collar position.

  19. Another personal favorite... on Building a Large Linux Knowledgebase · · Score: 5, Funny
  20. Re:We live in interesting times.. on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If FSF pulls together and attempts the same stunt that could cripple SCO. I don't know why we didn't do this earlier. This is getting good...

  21. Re:How nice of IBM.. on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would anyone really care if AIX were Open Source? I think of it as the Windows of the unix world with that silly registry-like system it has.
