    As I said in another slashdot story, "N$I strikes again".

    That's ok though, their days are numbered.

  2. duh on Intel Issues Gag Order on Pentium III Speed · · Score: 1
    The added speed and 70 new instructions make 3D games come alive and voice recognition sing.

    Um, ok.. That line convinced me to get one. .. .. NOT.
    Show me the numbers.

  5. yay on Enormous 80s Textfile Archive · · Score: 1
    There's some super-neet content here, I'd recommend it highly. I've spent hours looking through all the stuff on there.

    Also, his site was the only site to email me and thank me for linking to him on my page, which I thought was pretty nice. You don't find many webmasters like that around.

  6. foo on New York Times on Linux · · Score: 1
    Damnit.. What the hell are they doing hanging that thingy over Torvalds' head.. It could fall and break.

    Oh well. Most of the article was good.. I see they managed to fit another mini RMS rant in there about the whole Linux/GNU thing..

  7. Great read - but where's the animal? on Review:Open Sources · · Score: 1
    One thing does bother me about this book - where's the animal?

  9. 2nd edition on Review:Open Sources · · Score: 2
    Will the 2nd edition include the much-talked-about "Why openly-coded software scares the shit out of me and my money" chapter by Bill Gates?

    Anyway, I guess I'd best get this book right now.

  10. hmmm on MP3.com Ad in Grammy Magazine Pulled! · · Score: 2

    This is why I don't listen to any "canned" music any more. If the mu$ic industry just can't help shooting itself in the foot, well, then T.S.

  11. No Subject Given on "King of Spin" Breaks Record · · Score: 1

  13. nak! on Linus to give COMDEX Keynote · · Score: 1
    Oh no!! Comdex is a major M$ gathering, not to mention that it's backed by the FUDmaster general: ZeeDeeNet!

  18. VNC on Accidental Hacking? · · Score: 1
    Back Orifice + a hacked-up version of VNC + a fast connection = better potential

  20. Different USR question: stopages on Getting the most out of your USR Sportster in Debian · · Score: 1
    My sportster 56k v.90 modem does the exact same thing.. The rightmost light will go out for about 10 seconds, and then it'll come back on and everything will flood through.

    I doubt it could be "line noise", I've tried it sitting about 10 feet away from our dialup server on an internal line and it does the exact same thing.
