  1. Re:Dreading the Day on BitCoin Card To Launch In 2 Months, Says BitInstant · · Score: 1

    Satoshi
            The base unit of Bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC) is sometimes called a Satoshi, after Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

  2. Waze on TomTom Flames OpenStreetMap · · Score: 1

    This attack was mainly targeted at Waze (surpassed Twitter (!) in the App Store), which has around 20 million users, and becoming a real threat - OSM navigation is not nearly that popular (yet?).

  3. Re:Server-to-Server Communication? on Facebook Now Supports Jabber/XMPP · · Score: 1

    You get the '503: Service Unavailable' when you entered your password wrong.

  4. Re:Keep the sticker on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 1

    My server only runs on 105 leaded race fuel, according to the sticker on it.

  5. Re:Pig iron, I've got pig iron. on Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro Unveiled · · Score: 1

    What European brand offers an engine reach 100bhp/l normally aspirated? And then again, why does it matter?

    And with respect to american sportscars: I think the ZR1 is the quickest production car to go around the nurburgring at the moment.

  6. Hmmm on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 1

    From the one and only linux/ati/amd source:
    AMD will be providing NDA specifications, an open-source library, and there is a new open-source graphics driver as a result.

    NDA???? Read the rest: ttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item= 826

  7. AMD to open up graphics specs on AMD Launches New ATI Linux Driver · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It was announced today at the Linux summit they will open up specifications for all graphics cards, and release a 'reference'/minimal open-source driver for all cards.

  8. It ain't over till it's over! on Linspire Signs Patent Pact With MS · · Score: 1

    We have not yet lost the battle.. War's only over when Debian signs the deal :).

  9. What about Mac OS X in a virtual machine? on Microsoft Slugs Mac Users With Vista Tax · · Score: 1

    I can't run Mac OS X at all in a virtual machine!
    (Sure, there are ways, but none of them is supported by any virtualization provider: vmware, paralells, virtual pc....)

  10. Re:Improved Windows Update experience on Microsoft Offers Phone Support For IE 7 · · Score: 1

    Guess once which site doesn't work correctly on my machine anymore after installing Beta2 :D

  11. W3 validator on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 1

    Nice, slashdot blocks the w3c validator (validator.w3.org) from accessing their site :D. However, firefox finally uses 'Standards compliance mode' as the Render mode!

    Now let's wait another 10 years for XHTML 1.0 Strict so we can do some funky XSL transforms

    I'm sure he will sue you for this comment using the linux (TM).

    I'll guess I'll get sued too...

  14. Re:Anyone see any bit torrents yet? on Windows Vista & IE7 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Google for IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe :D.

  15. Re:Maybe because it's slow ? on Why is Java Considered Un-Cool? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's really time to dump your 386 and move on to at least a Pentium.

  16. glibc on New Red Hat Beta · · Score: 1

    Too bad it ships with glibc 2.3.1.. It's buggy to the max (just look at the recent debian unstable/sid troubles)..

    Ah well.. I sure hope RH has fixed all the remaining problems :).

  17. Re:SVG support? on Mozilla 1.1 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

  18. Re:SVG support? on Mozilla 1.1 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    Compile with --enable-svg-support or something like that...

    It was dropped for 1.0 (might appear in 1.1 though), for some reason that slipped out of my mind :).

  19. Re:kbuild on Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released · · Score: 1

    From kgi-project.org:

    Welcome to the KGI Project

    Hmm.. doesn't look like somebody's working on it anymore...

  20. kbuild on Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What happened to the new kbuild system? Last time I compiled 2.5, I included the new kbuild patch, and it worked great.

    Ah well.. It will probably end up like kgi.. Great project, but dies because some finnish guy doesn't want to include it into the kernel...

  21. Re:A very stable kernel on Linux Beta Kernel 2.5.16 Out · · Score: 1

    Hehe this one's funny :).

    Be sure to enable the new input layer (or is it only in the -dj (with other words: compilable) kernel?) you need to do this?

  22. Re:Wow.. this was one way to put it on Two Helpings of WINE · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe we can mod the story itself to -1 :).

    Of course most of the stories here on slashdot are kind of biased (towards open software), but this one is really bad (and in the wrong (non-open) direction this time).

    Who says you can't make money with open software? Ximian does it, Codeweavers (with *tada* Wine) does it, Eazel did it (they spend more than they made however :)), I do it, lots of other people do it!

  23. Re:Windows Update on Mozilla 1.0 RC2 is out · · Score: 1

    Weird, I can even go there with Galeon 1.2.1...

    Don't know where you get your information from..
