  1. test on 101 Keys Soaking Wet: The Flexboard · · Score: 1

    just curious what would happen when I try to post on an article that I moderated...

  2. Re:Hit something? on Iridium Hardware May Burn · · Score: 1

    I thought the idea was that they would burn up...

    altought that would be an interesting way to go.

  3. Re:Innovatory Micro$loth? on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    2M... do you know how many single disk distros there truly are? my favorite is tomsrtbt but there are a bunch of others.

  4. Re:GEB:EGB... Oh! I just got it! on Jargon File 4.2.0 Out · · Score: 1

    or when I realized the meaning of _The_Integral_Trees_ by Larry Niven

  5. Re:so don't buy the VHS. on No Star Wars TPM on DVD · · Score: 1

    so there is no incentive for say linux or freebsd to be the best possible os?

  6. Re:so don't buy the VHS. on No Star Wars TPM on DVD · · Score: 1

    I have several friends who have laserdisc/DVD players, and they are nice and all that, but to not have a vcr is your own choice. To all those who say they own 3 DVD players and no VCR, I guess it serves you right for spending $1000 or more on DVD and not wanting to spend the extra $50 for a vcr. or maybe $200 for a top of the line model, if you are extremely concerned about quality. Admittedly, the tapes can wear out, but not before something like a thousand viewings...

  7. Re:compiling to jvm on Perl and .NET · · Score: 1

    heh, yeah, that is old. of course it has been a while since anyone called me Spammy as well :-)

  8. Re:Seems to me mirroring should be First Priority. on Slackware 7.0 (Stable) Released · · Score: 1

    I thought they did... guess I'll have to find out now...

  9. Re:Searching for search engines on Lycos: Can't Get There From Here · · Score: 1

    I work in a computer lab and we use (blech) ie5. You'd be amazed how many people open up the search frame and type in yahoo, or just type in some random url, in the search engine box...

  10. Re:A x86 emulator? on On The Transmeta Patents · · Score: 1

    the trouble is that it analyse your personal taste sense and nutritional data, but it would taste almost but not quite entirely unlike gum, and tell you to "share and enjoy"

  11. does this remind anyone else of.... on Robots Battle to the Death! · · Score: 1

    One Must Fall 2097!!! ie robots battling it out in rooms w/ spikes, blades, etc.

  12. Re:the heart of the problem. on Ask Slashdot: Cyber Patrol Censorship? · · Score: 1

    yes, but wouldn't you block anonymizer if you were CyberPatrol?

  13. Where to play (w)hookey? Looking for a BIG screen. on Playing Hooky to Watch Star Wars · · Score: 1

    it is rumored (but probably not true) that the IMAX will get it here in Missouri (Branson, about an hour drive from where I live) which would absolutely be the coolest movie event ever. Even though it wasn't filmed in 70mm imax format, it is still a huge screen for regular moves, not to mention iirc 25Kw of sound!

  14. Can't Skip... on Playing Hooky to Watch Star Wars · · Score: 1

    all of my finals are over by the 15th!

    Now I can camp out for tickets.

  15. Lies, damn lies, and.... on Playing Hooky to Watch Star Wars · · Score: 1

    soma, what book was that from, I forget. (it was good though)

  16. Hmm... reminds me of economics class on Playing Hooky to Watch Star Wars · · Score: 1

    or camp out, I know people who are doing it. In fact, I will probably join them. (just don't want to skip final exams...)

  17. microsoft analogy on The Myth of QWERTY · · Score: 1

    yes, but the article was refuting this belief, at least wrt qwerty.

  18. hmmm, redundancy... on iMac Factory Burns · · Score: 1

    > The fire was bad, but then the water damage
    > caused even more damage.

    right. You probably have a NIC card and use the cddb database. :-)

  19. Advantage of proprietary CDDB on Freecddb.org is up and Running · · Score: 1

    there are no secret codes, the cddb protocol uses a hash of the index of track lengths.

  20. Linux? on Linux 2.2.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Ah, the infamous finger memory bug :-) Who knows how many times I have typed Linux instead of Linus.

  21. Yikes. on Linux 2.2.5 Released · · Score: 1

    I think I have seen some that were a couple of hundred K...

  22. Patches *do* compile faster on Linux 2.2.5 Released · · Score: 1

    actually, the dependencies are handled very well, as near as I can tell. I mean if a file changes, it is smart enough to figure out what depends on that. if something major changes, it will probably need to be rebuilt, but there is no need to rebuild stuff that didn't change any code.

  23. Am I the only one who misses the old days? (+rant) on Pirates Crack FF8 3 Times Over · · Score: 1

    http://www.twars.com/micro/tw2002list

    or the ultimate conclusion of this... open source games are IMPOSSIBLE to pirate :-)

    err, Gilson :-)
