  1. Re:Two Weeks! on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 0

    He's not talking about the installation of the Linux distribution, he is talking about installing SAP on top of (RedHat) Linux. Still, that is a very long time.

  2. Re:Efficiency? on Wireless Power Recharging Nears Fruition · · Score: 0

    I magine it could be weight activated so that it's not always on.

  3. Re:Anyone else... on Longhorn to be Released in 2006, Sans WinFS · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    instead of clicking the goatse.cx joke link (which actually works BTW), you can substitute your favorite theme by replacing the "it" in the it.slashdot.org url with one of the other themes (yro, apple, games etc). I myself prefer developers.slashdot.org.

    All my invites are gone. Thanks.

  5. I have four gmail invites on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 0

    With my bad karma no one is seeing this but here it goes: I have 4 gmail invites for the first four people who ask fo them.

    Last time I got modded as a troll for giving out 5 accounts, don't know why.

    I have 5 gmail invites, with no one to send them to. If anybody wants one, send me a note.

  8. T-Shirt says: on PC Case For Hamsters, EZ Bake Oven in a Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    I shopped at ThinkGeek on April Fools Day, and all I got was this lousy shirt!

  9. This is lame on IF Quake Takes Fragging To Whole New Level · · Score: 0, Redundant

    not a very good start for April Fools.

  10. The www.gmail.com page has changed on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 1

    The sign-up if you're interested form/button doesn't work.

    except if you are a perfect shot nothing happens. :)

  12. Re:Mock Websites on Domain-Name Protest Is Protected Speech · · Score: 1

    I think goatseblows.cx would be more appropriate.

  13. Re:Heresy! on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    they taste like bugles to me...

  14. Re:My favourite C++ introduction book on Practical C++ · · Score: 1

    I have this book, and found myself reading it recently. I think this book is incredibly dated, with examples that use #include .h>.

  15. I'm thinking about getting out of CS on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    and taking up a career in business or bio-tech. I am very worried about current trends with CS and IT jobs moving overseas. I do not see any relief from this trend, and I would not recommend jumping into this industry, unless you plan on working with or for government.

  16. Re:Why No Bronco II? on Worst Cars Of All Time Rated · · Score: 1

    I wondered about that myself. It just made me want to go find a picture of it. Gotta love google's image search.

  17. Legacy on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    I know of a few older scientists who would give anything to go down in history as the first humans to step foot on / colonize Mars. My Step-dad for one. This is truly an exciting prospect, and I believe after a few years we may even be able to get them back.

  18. Re:Swipe Card on Biometrics in the Workplace · · Score: 1

    I would guess that people lose cards often.

  19. Why *doesn't* Apple include Ogg on their iPod on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 0, Troll

    What's the harm in supporting an open source format that technophiles and some audiophiles clamor for? I mean I can understand the hesitation to support WMA, as that would be propping up a competitor (Microsoft), but I don't see who else benefits from supporting Ogg except consumers. I personally would love to own an iPod, and I would like to pick and choose what format my audio is stored in. Most of my collection is in MP3. I've got a few songs in AAC, perhaps 3 songs in ogg, and to my ears it all sounds pretty good. It can't be that difficult to add ogg handling to the iPod, can it?

  20. Re:Legal Documents on Fax: Technology That Refuses to Die Under Attack · · Score: 1

    As many people have already stated, there are faster fax machine speeds, i.e. G3 (AKA V.34 Fax), which can transmit a unidirectional 33.6 speed. There is even ISDN Fax (64 kbps) and IP fax.

    > but also debilitates an additional 500,000,000

    I would love to see something to back this up. 500 Million? We are talking about 5% - 7% of the world. I am really doubtful this is true.

  23. And some people actually like slow computers on No Need to Upgrade that PC? · · Score: 1

    My Fiancee has a couple of games from that she really likes to play, that on a PII 400 are very playable, whereas if she tried to play them on a P4 2ghz+ they would drive her insane. She had an opportunity to play a Shockwave game on both types of systems and she was very happy to go back to her PII. :)
