  1. Re:Not good enough on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 1

    Well, considering the monthly charge for local channels is $5.99, it seems perfectly legitimate to me. Besides, Dish stills carries national feeds of both East and West coast networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, UPN, WB, and PBS). I hardly ever watch my locals, instead sticking to the nationals.

  2. Fedora Core 2 test/development on Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community is Available · · Score: 1

    I like my redhat/fedora distro's, but I've been trying for the past couple of evenings to get Fedora Core 2 development installed on my x86-64.. The real issue is support of SATA drives, which Fedora core1 test 1 for AMD64 doesn't provide (it's a 2.4.x kernel). the daily development build will probably work (but I gotta update my boot cd every time they update, talk about a PITA).

    The other issue is lack of RAID SATA support, as it just sees the individual drives and not the raid. This I can live with, I would like an actual cd distro that supports sata and x86-64 w/out this huge hassle, but I don't know that I care to switch distros, but I'm willing to consider it if someone can suggest a good x86-64 distro that actually supports sata drives.

  3. Re:The Walking Dead of ... India! on The Walking Dead of Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    Taxes on what? They had all their land stolen from them, and I doubt dead people can be employed.

  4. Re:Wow... on Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle · · Score: 3, Informative

    ESA not NASA this time...

  5. Re:A gig of RAM on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    I can't trust my parents to buy decent computer components, and they dont buy anything online, so no gift lists.. sigh.

  6. New Business Model on TSL Is Dead, Long Live TSL · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. Start new company
    2. Create Product
    3. Declare Bankruptcy
    4. Start new company selling product made by previous company!
    5. Profit!
    6. Rinse and Repeat!

  7. Re:Its good to see TSL live on on TSL Is Dead, Long Live TSL · · Score: 1

    I agree wholeheartedly with you on this. How can a company declare bankruptcy, and then the ppl involved with that company start a new company and continue on as usual without any repercussions?

  8. Poor people on Virus Knocks Out U.S. Visa Approval System · · Score: 1

    Terrorists need credit cards too!

  9. Re:If we had openings, we wouldn't hire you on Linus to SCO: 'Please Grow Up' · · Score: 1

    I would think if someone is working at SCO, they may not be happy w/ the current situation, but they certainly would much rather get a paycheck than no paycheck. It seems foolish to disallow resumes from one group of people, who may fit the job requirements.

  10. Re:Best line ever: on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but I do believe her parent(s) can be held accountable.

  11. Re:WRONG on RIAA Sues 261 Major P2P Offenders · · Score: 1

    So, an artist who sells 1 million cd's only makes $45,000? Anyways, I'd like to see an artist w/out a label get their music played on most radio stations in the country and still be able to make $45k on an album. There are reasons that record labels exist, and one of them is advertising and promotion.

  12. Isaac Asimov's Multivac on Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge · · Score: 1

    What we need is what is described in Asimov's short story "Franchise". Multivac is able to determine the result of an election by interviewing a single voter (whom it determines). A must read! :)

  13. Lilo & Stitch :) on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Oh, we have to gas the planet.
    Hold it!
    Hold everything!
    Earth is a protected wildlife preserve.
    Yeah. We've been using it
    to rebuild the mosquito population
    which, need I remind you, is an endangered species!

    ---

    And another one! Why, it's a whole flock.
    And they like me!
    They're nuzzling my flesh with their noses.
    Now they're, um, they're....

  14. He should be happy on $180 Million for Piracy Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    ..he had actually succeeded in selling this device. He'd be in jail for life and facing a $180 billion dollar fine.

  15. Re:How? on $180 Million for Piracy Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should

  16. Re:0 is 0 on Solar Powered Helios Plane Destroyed in Test Flight · · Score: 1

    sheesh people, I was just trying to be humorous. :)

  17. ft or meters on Solar Powered Helios Plane Destroyed in Test Flight · · Score: 0, Funny

    I wonder if they thought they were at 8k meters and tried dropping the altitude, and ran smack into the ocean.. NASA's good at confusing ft and meters

  18. "Magic Box" on Slashback: Transparency, USB, Europatents · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can he not show us the inside of the box because then the cat will be dead?

  19. Re:Standard Pratice on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    Because when they counted the drawer at the end of their shift, they'd be short $20. Duh.

  20. Re:970 PowerMacs? on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: 1

    OMG! I used the wrong "to" above. The world is coming to an end as I write this. Get a fucking life you rabid cocksucker.

  21. Re:970 PowerMacs? on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know.. but it seemed to obvious to say it.

  22. 970 PowerMacs? on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd think that'd be a rather low estimate on the number of PowerMacs they'll be able to ship.

  23. Okay.. on Microsoft Flouting DOJ Settlement? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So, we pay $100k to find out they have no communication protocols, and only get $50k back? I'll charge half that if anyone's interested in seeing my communication protocols.

  24. 80 contiguous lines? on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The question I have is whether this is 80 lines of contiguous code, or if it's a line here and there. If it's just here and there, then it's quite easy for them to find matches, heck I bet it'd be pretty easy to find some comments that match too.

  25. 80 lines... on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 1

    ...of code that SCO copied into UnixWare from Linux?
