  1. Wow.... on Hydra: Rendezvous-Enabled Text Editing · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's an editing orgy!

  2. Whoa man.... on TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security · · Score: 0

    I don't know about you guys...but I base my day on the stories I read on slashdot. It is a measurement of time for me.

    I was about to go nuts, I thought it was still morning when I saw the same topic more than twice!!!

    I need a vacation.

  3. Flash Memory sizes on Flash Memory And Its future · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Well...that kind of depends on what kind of flashing you're doing.

    To some, there is already a well thought out system...
    Don't know how it works...but:

    Mardi Gras Method of Flash Measurement (Also Known as the "Girls Gone Wild Method")
    A
    B
    C
    D
    DD

    Along with measurements that usually range from 24-36.

  4. Earthlink Commercials on 56k Times Five: Myth Or Moneymaker? · · Score: 0

    Now they can just run those "Are we there yet?" commercials in fast forward.

    And they'd save on advertising.
    How much does a 5 second timeslot in an average cable company's timeline cost?

  5. Apple?? on Wi-Fi Enabled Stereo From Philips In Beta · · Score: 0

    I wonder if this is the first incarnation of Apple and Philips' little venture with iTunes and zeroconf wi-fi stereos??

  6. I HATE... on EU Anti-Hate Laws On The Web · · Score: 0

    I absolutely cannot stand those anti-hate laws.

    So much, that I HATE them!

  7. OS X...Linux....duhr on Linux Outpacing Macintosh On Desktops · · Score: 0

    Well...seein's how there is no "Linux" brand computer (Like Dell, Gateway, etc...) and Macintosh has a new OS that IS Linux...yeah. This is quite possibly the most accurate survey conducted with a blindfold on. I happen to know that the marketshare of Apple's has almost doubled in the last 4 years, and is growing quite rapidly. Last I knew it was at around 3.9%. Wanna know why Apple will still CONTIUE to grow?

  8. Alarm clock? on First-Person Account Of Today's Attacks · · Score: 0

    My Uncle Todd (Todd Porter, former CEO of Ion Storm) was sleeping in a hotel room, late for a meeting, when he was suddenly woken up by the most devastating noise. It sounded oddly like a whining jet engine. He was still groggy, up until he FELT the WTC explode. He jumped up to see what was up. He looked out the window to see debris. He only had to wait a moment longer before FEELING the next explosion. A little while later, he FELT the first building fall. Then the second.

    The hotel my uncle had been in was 3 blocks away from the WTC. Scary shit.

  9. FireWire and i.Link on Firewire Receives An Emmy · · Score: 1

    There is one MASSIVE difference between FireWire and IEEE 1394 and i.Link. The difference is that FireWire has a powered bus, whereas the others don't.

    There has been talk of replacing even the standard electrical configurations of future homes to be low-power FireWire. FireWire may become an intregal part of in-home networking in future homes through their "wall plug".

  10. Re-invent the wheel? on Submersible Robot Diesel Recycles Its Exhaust · · Score: 1, Funny

    Man...my dog has been recycling his exhaust for years. Nothin' new to me.

  11. The ending... on Review: Planet of the Apes · · Score: 1

    The ending: They all die.

    You know, it was incredible to see the faces of people who wen to to see The Perfect Storm, whom I had told the same thing, come out and say, "They DO all die! I didn't believe you."

  12. It seems to me... on EPIC Makes Privacy Case Against Windows XP To FTC · · Score: 1

    Okay...now somebody has to create an image of Tux holding a sling with a rock in it, or having thrown the rock, at the image of the Windows boot logo.

    That's funny, Paw.

  13. Strain on the neck... on Open Source Convention 2001 Wrap-up · · Score: 1

    Has anybody been doing the same? I've been watching the proceedings of the MS vs US trial and it's like watching a tennis game...back...fourth...them back....oh!, Fourth!

    I wanna see some gore. Gimme that rackett...

  14. It seems to me... on EPIC Makes Privacy Case Against Windows XP To FTC · · Score: 1

    ..that Microsoft has sucessfully dug a very large hole for their very large Conglomerate selves. I wonder how many people (and companys) now will have the gaul to go up against Goliath now that the supply of stones and slings has grown significantly.

    Now the question is, of course, who is David?

  15. Now taking bets for... on The Joys of HDTV · · Score: 1

    ...the duration of time that it will take before every encryption code and codec has been broken and HDTV becomes a new route onto the internet and P2P file sharing becomes ABSOLUTELY HUGE.

    You thought Napster was bad, RIAA? Try this: mega-bandwidth cables transferring GIGS through the line. Song takes 30 seconds to download. DVD takes an hour....he he he...HAHAHA.

    The preceeding has been a power trip. Now you try it.

    The ability of a community to keep a great project going despite adverse circumstances is one of the things I love about open source and the community around it.

  19. Fans on Terrasoft Selling Non-Apple PPC GNU/Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    These systems undoubtably have fans due to their arcitecture. The iMacs have heat sinks that are designed to convect heat throught the machine. These are designed to be packed together and therefore cannot use the same principals. Please refrain from comparing PPC processors to AMDs or x86s as far as heat. You could cook an egg on a P3. You can light a cigarette with a P4.
