  1. It was a joke on Brill's Contentious ID Card · · Score: 1
    What's the problem? You've got two, and you only sold one.

    He was just kiddneying!

  2. Re:It may scale on PHP Scales As Well As Java · · Score: 1
    But does it run java?

    Yes, but does it run PHP?

  3. Yeah but... on The Step-By-Step DIY Approach To The X-Prize · · Score: 1
    A one-off launch is one thing, but to return the craft to service within 14 days is something else entirely.

    Especially if the pilot tries unsucessfully to perform a rocket jump.

  4. In this case... on Online Journalists are ISPs? · · Score: 1

    ISP does not mean Internet Service Providers. When talking about online journalists, ISP means I Spell Poorly.

  5. Re:All this homogeneity on Plug-and-Play for Automobile Embedded Systems · · Score: 1

    I am going to write a worm that will roll down all of the car windows in the middle of winter when it hits -40.

  6. Re:Invalid Results on Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards Announced · · Score: 1

    I checked, most of the Debian support came from Florida...

  7. Microsoft's Distributed Statistical Debugging on Distributed Statistical Debugging · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Microsoft has been using this feature in XP and it apparently does not work. One of our applications crashes frequently for no reason at all. I have told all of our users (1600+) to just click the "SEND" button when it asks to send the "encountered a problem report" back to Microsoft.

    In my calculations Microsoft must have gotten at least 30,000 reports of this bug and it is still not fixed yet...

  8. Not necessarily bad on Multiple Monitors Increase Productivity · · Score: 1
    Yeah, I hate it when all developers have to share a single monitor. Sucks.

    It depends on who you are sharing with. We have 5 developers in my department and 3 developers are of the female persuasion (which is good). But, I think the other male developer is of the female persuasion too! (this is very bad).

  9. Full Steam Ahead! on New 3D CPU Water Cooling Method · · Score: 2, Funny

    If we put in a miniature steam turbine we can generate power to charge laptop batteries and perhaps add a steam whistle to the sound system. Actually, since I can't get any sound out of my laptop a steam whistle would be a nice addition!

  10. Calm down McBride... on Get Paid To Crack? · · Score: 1

    Linus was right, you are smoking crack over at SCO....

  11. Re:I see the problem. on Viruses and Market Dominance - Myth or Fact? · · Score: 1

    and what lame ass admin would ever give the root password to their users?

  12. Femtosecond? on Femtosecond Lasers for Nanosurgery · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is that perhaps because cosmetic surgery is performed mostly on females getting a second face lift?

  13. Is this a comedy??? on Review: 'Bubba Ho-Tep' · · Score: 4, Funny
    An old man in a walker trying to escape a slow-moving mummy

    sounds hillarious...

  14. Bah coffee... on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1
    I almost spilled coffee on the floor via my nose

    Try that with a fresh can of Jolt cola - That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!

  15. Ah technological advancements... on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 3, Funny

    I remember fondly making spud cannons and now this. Soon we will have backyard nukes!

  16. I can do one better... on What Counts as Music and Why? · · Score: 1

    Take innagoddadavida convert it from a wav file to an image file to see what the fuck they were talking about!

  17. Where are the comedians?? on Merrill Lynch Rips Sun · · Score: 1

    One would think that this story is ripe for the pickings...

  18. Re:I heard Solar was going to get cheaper in 1976 on New Solar Cells 20 Times Cheaper · · Score: 1

    Technically it is. $1 in 1976 is worth about $200 today...

  19. Can't wait for Italy to look at the code on China Prepares To Examine MS Windows Code · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sure the Chinese invented noodles, but only Italians can truly appreciate spagetti code at its finest.

  20. Re:and if they steal it? on China Prepares To Examine MS Windows Code · · Score: 1
    or use parts of it to make similar products who is going to stop them?

    Why, Darl McBride of course!

  21. Ha! on HyperSCSI Examined · · Score: 1
    My experience is that a properly installed and tested Ethernet network is very reliable.

    An therein lies your problem. You just can't get around the human error factor. People incorrectly install equipment and configuration mistakes abound in a corporate environment.

  22. Re:Reliability on HyperSCSI Examined · · Score: 1

    I see you never had an Ethernet duplex mismatch or encountered a bad cable have you? It happens more often than you think...

  23. No error checking or recovery?? on HyperSCSI Examined · · Score: 2, Insightful
    While putting SCSI on raw Ethernet may speed up performance, there are also disadvantages associated with skirting TCP/IP, Smith says. "Without TCP/IP, it has no real error-recovery mechanism or guarantee that packets get delivered. It also appears to be quite limited in scaleability."

    And this is a technology breakthrough? I wouldn't want my data travelling down a wire with no error recovery no matter how small the error rate.

  24. A better way to achieve their goals... on Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship · · Score: 2, Funny
    raising young people's awareness of the dangers of spending too much time in front of a computer

    Actually, all they have to to is introduce these young people to regular slashdot users. That should scare the pants of them enough to swear off computers forever. Don't do computers or you will look like one of these sorry saps...

  25. Huh? on Interview with Linus Torvalds from NYT Magazine · · Score: 1
    You go out for dinner, and all the tables are filled with engineers talking about things that won't be available to "normal people" for a few years. If ever.

    Who are these normal people he speaks of?
