  1. Re:Lan parties... on 3XS Isotope - 11 Sided Gamer's Computer · · Score: 1

    non-morons would use eye and probably ear protection at the very least. consider it equivalent to make -n install :-)

  2. Re:Europe leads... later on the US follows... on Bar Coding The World Away · · Score: 1

    In the good old days there wasn't moderation and scoring at all, I think. Is a pretty hazy memory now, though.

  3. Re:Why the hell are they doing this? on Bar Coding The World Away · · Score: 1

    Wow, you sure showed him! :P

    Fighting fire with fire... I am superior to you, as my slashdot id has less digits

    Pretty convincing argument, yes?

  4. Re:OS Comparison on FreeBSD Based Live CDs · · Score: 1

    and i'm a /. user with a user id that is approximately 5% of yours, thus my $OBJECT is FAR bigger!

    i think this is the first /. comment i've bothered posting in several years. apparently unlike a lot of posters here i've been very happily using fvwm since late 1994 when i first installed lunix. i did spend a couple of years using enlightenment instead, and i do occasionally trick myself into thinking that the apparently modern "desktop environments" are worth trying again, just in case they aren't as stupidly overcomplicated as they were when i last looked. i always end up thinking (after a period of self-induced torture lasting between a day and a few months):

    "dear $DEITY, you were stupid, fvwm is happiness, peace, love, a dash of vintage port, and all those other lovely things"

    i suppose one advantage of these livecd type arrangements is that you get to try out various bits of dubious flavour-of-the-month software, without polluting your serious computing setup. :D

    i recently installed openbsd 3.4 on an old quad-cpu (what a waste - no smp in 3.4 :/) hypersparc ss20, as a 9-interface firewall. hme[0-3], qe[0-3], le0. it works quite nicely. pf is good. some parts of openbsd are much nicer than solaris. recommended.

  5. Re:screwing with food "cues"..? on Mmm ... Purple Disease-Resistant Potatoes · · Score: 1

    i've had green+yellow striped pear-shaped tomatoes, and they were very tasty. better in fact than most breeds of the regular red ones.

    also had bright yellow pear-shaped tomatoes, they were good too. and i vaguely recall some weird red ones that were like a zucchini shape.

  6. Re:3dfx is the cause on Linux Unreal Tournament Available · · Score: 1

    PFFFT.
    if you're that worried about it hogging your display after it dies, put the 3dfx on a separate monitor.

    as for people whinging about bugs, why don't you give the developers a chance. i'd be willing to bet that most people complaining about it being "NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR LINUX USERS" have never written a line of code in their life, nor have they the mindset to do so. i know *I* certainly don't have the skills to come up with a game of this calibre.

  7. Re:Are we moral sensors now? on Ask Slashdot: Privacy in the Workplace · · Score: 1

    Does the fact that he can't download any child porn off the net to jerk off to mean that your neighbor will molest your boy looking for his high?

    his ? whats this his business? perhaps a large slice of sexual offenders are male, but NOT ALL.
