  1. Technically.... on What's The Fastest Growing Linux Distro? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "What's the fastest growing Linux distro?

    The fastest growing distro could only be Mandrake . Distributions can increase in popularity or number - but technically they can't grow like a plant or animal. A bit pedantic but what the hey...

  2. For god sakes no! on Europa's Acid Ice Fields · · Score: 2, Funny
    We should send a probe loaded with Red Devil lye to help even things out.

    What we have here is the worlds largest battery! what we need to send is lead. Instant power source for the entire planet.

  4. Psssst hey dude! on ATI PCI-Express Devices Revealed · · Score: 1
    If you base all your purchasing decisions on when the latest, greatest thing is coming out, you'll never buy anything.

    I have a Vesa local bus video card installed in my 486/66 - wanna buy it?

  5. Bah! kids these days... on ATI PCI-Express Devices Revealed · · Score: 1
    This just takes us back to the old PCI/AGP days.

    Back in my day our monitors only displayed ascii characters in floresent green and had no graphics at all. In fact, we had to print ascii characters together just to look at Pr0n.

    The more skilled hackers printed the ascii art on the corners of books so they could watch "flip" movies. Once an uber hacker printed the ascii image on every second page and achieved a 2-1 compression ratio which was unheard of at the time.

  6. Time is relative... on ATI PCI-Express Devices Revealed · · Score: 1
    If you bought a nice AGP card yesterday, it will continue to be a nice AGP card today.

    I bought a really nice Vesa local bus video card at the time and today it blows chunks in my 486/66 Mhz system. I doubt I could get 2 fps in quake3.

  7. closing arguments... on AMD Back in the Black · · Score: 1

    This is probably AMD's make-or-break year. I hope they make it. For all Intel's wondrous abilities, it's nice to see a two-horse race.

    with this release will i be able to change the timezone without requiring a reboot?

    Yes, I do this all the time when I fly from Chicago to LA with my laptop.

    We all will...eventually. You'll be dead anyway, so why does it matter if you get toasted in the months following your death rather than a few hundred million?

    Not Neccesarily.

  11. Wow! on Cell-Phone Wars · · Score: 1
    As a top IT executive for a fortune 50,

    I never knew I was in such esteemed company! Here I always thought Slashdot was only frequented by lowly underpaid geeks. Why did you post as AC? didn't want anyone to know you were slumming it?

    This reporter does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and critical systems that are based around these technologies that could be damaged by new exploits found in this source code is something that doesn't bare thinking about.

  25. Nope... on Energy Company Refutes Windows TCO Claims · · Score: 1
    On the numerous vendor and analyst TCO arguments flying around about Linux versus Unix and Windows, Peters said: "The battle is between Unix versus Windows rather than Linux versus Unix."

    It is common knowledge that Linux is better than Windoze for uptime. The best quote is that people are starting to shift away from the theory that Linux is only gaining market share at the expense Unix.
