Amazed? Why? Take a look at

this Slashdot Meta Comment. Yes, it's also linked in my sig.

I wonder how they taste

with Hot Grits.

Sad

On: Black Hole Information Loss Paradox Solution Proposed

A Slashdot article on black holes, with no goatse link.

Slashbots these days. Boring, boring, boring. No hot grits, no Natalie Portman naked and petrified, no goatse links.

Oh, for the halcyon days of OGG THE OPEN SOURCE CAVEMAN!

Film at 11?

On: Mozilla Exec Claims Apple is Hunting OSS Browsers

How last century. These days it's all YouTube Video Right Now.

Judging from the situations in those places

On: EU Considering Regulating Sale of Violent Games

What's wrong with HFS+?

On: Apple Confirms No (Default) ZFS In Leopard

Fat32 isn't exactly young, it's used in many places. NTFS has been around for years. Ext2 likewise. They all work acceptably in the arenas they are designed for.

works perfectly fine on Macs

On: Apple Safari On Windows Broken On First Day

You've never used Safari on a Mac, have you?

It's not so much lack of caring

On: Satellite Images Used to Document International Atrocities

It's lack of options. What can the US do about Darfur? Stop trading with Sudan? What trade do we have? So do we stop trading with Sudan's trading partners? That would be China. Not a good plan.

That last reason

On: Satellite Images Used to Document International Atrocities

Is one of the main reasons. Nothing can be done through the UN because of the Chinese veto, and we all know that action taken without UN sanction is illegal, and possibly a war crime.

This is Slashdot

It's how we roll. Check out the comment linked to in my sig for the best flame on this issue.

Also Spanish and Italian

It comes from the Latin videre: "to see".

Remember when Comdex was the big geekout?

On: Computex and Gigabyte's Slick UMPC, Linux SmartPhone

I wonder when Computex will have a Slashdot Booth, and CowboyNeal as the Booth Babe.

What, you don't have custom ringtones?

Been needing one of those...

I post a variant of that

People would want to look at

this?

Yes, that is me. On my board last summer.

I've quit smoking and put on weight since then.

The Cylons Have A Plan

On: Battlestar Galactica's End Officially After Season 4

And they're finally going to let the writers in on it!

There's a solution to that

On: Google Street View Raises Privacy Concerns

People like me, 42 and overweight, should leave our blinds open at all times. Eventually we'll start showing up in Google Views buck naked.

And that will be the end of google views.

release notes points to a 404

On: Fedora 7 Released

Which means, I guess, that they aren't available.

But C doesn't have classes or methods.

On: How to Keep Your Code From Destroying You

It has functions...

for some strange reason

On: New Gentoo 2007.0 Release Gets Mixed Review

The reason is "security". Login root or sudo to run admin apps.

It's a laundry soap /and/ an operating system!

All we need now is the bad 70's hair...

Nukes change the rules
