  1. Documentation on Will Open Source Ever Become Mainstream? · · Score: 2

    I'm going to have to disagree with your stance regarding documentation. If BSD's better documentation wasn't due to consistency then its longevity would actually work against it in regards to documentation. If it wasn't consistent then it would, rather obviously, be fragmented and disjointed and the amount of time it has been around would only magnify this fragmentation. The consistency is what has enabled BSD to maintain good documentation.

    I can't really comment one way or the other on your stance on Microsoft-to-Linux Linux users.

    *DISCLAIMER* I am not arguing about whether or not BSD has good documentation (or better documentation than Linux) only attempting to point out the logical fallacy in the parent post. Thanks.

  2. Re:all this cooling on Tiny Water Cooled System · · Score: 1

    Ahh I see. Sorry about the confusion on my part.

  3. Re:all this cooling on Tiny Water Cooled System · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to say, but I think I've got it. It doesn't actually take all that much power, esp. compared to some other components, to cool a case. Koolance cases, for example, only use about 10W. See: Koolance FAQ. Hope that helped.

  4. Re:Awesome on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 1

    You could also use Mineral oil. That's what a lot of Sodium is stored in.
    Well that and shakers..of course, that's only when its with Chlorine ;)

  5. Re:Someone tell me how Batman could beat Superman? on Warner Bros. plans 'Superman vs. Batman' Movie · · Score: 1

    Batman's only chance would be if he could get his hands on an oversized, rapper-style necklace of the Batman emblem made of Kryptonite. Better get one for Alfred too. Robin can just cower behind Batman and Alfred - saves money that way.

    Otherwise, Superman will just crush both of them with his super-human strength and then destroy their remains with his laser vision. Bye bye batty.

  8. Simple Interface on AllTheWeb Claims Bigger Index Than Google · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'll take Google's simple interface over the cluttered feel of AlltheWeb's any day. I don't know about AlltheWeb, but Google has so many cool tricks (phone number lookup, file search etc.) that it seems like I learn something new about Google almost every day. To AlltheWeb's credit, though, their search was fast, even comparable to Google's speed.

    For now, I'll stick with Google though.

  9. Bloated code? on NVIDIA's Pixel & Vertex Shading Language · · Score: 0

    But will this result in the bloated code so prevailant in other Microsoft applications? Anyone who has ever seen the source of Billy Joe's webpage that he made using FrontPage can attest to the fact that the Redmond crew love to throw in all sorts of extra nonsense. In an area that is already so resource intensive, can we really afford the bloated code? Hopefully it will be a non-issue.

  10. ICANN isn't accountable... on US Govt Wants to Control ICANN? · · Score: 0

    ..to anyone so the government should take over. Because as we all know, Big Brother is much, much more accountable to the individual than any sort of corporation.

    If you can't see the logic in that, you must have your eyes open.

  12. Pretty Cool on Game Boy Advance RGB LCD Project · · Score: 0

    This is pretty cool. To bad all my favorite games are all from the early Gameboy days. You know, back when the Gameboy was really large and rounded. Old school Tetris, Batman, stuff like that. It still works great on the new GBA but it sure would be nice if it were colorful too and not just the reddish color they try and put in to make it look colorful. Oh well, guess I'll just have to sit and reminisce about the old days (this looks odd considering im only 0x1F!)

  13. Sure is a struggle.. on The Almighty Buck · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The 'almighty buck' is a concept I think most people (even us geeks) battles. Even Linus in his book Just for Fun talks about how he wouldn't mind some more of it. Everyone wants it. Everyone would like it in huge quantities. Just some people are willing to do a lot more to get it.

    Guess that's the story of our lives. Some people have it. Most people want it. Few people get it. Oh well.

  14. It's a travesty.. on Scientific American Web Awards · · Score: -1, Troll

    ..that slashdot isn't on there!

  15. Pretty cool on O'Reilly Showcases PS2 Linux Gear · · Score: 0

    This is gonna be pretty cool. A lot easier to do than the Dreamcast mod at least. I'll more than likely get one of these (assuming I can get the $$). I agree with the other guy though, it'd be cooler if you could play games outta Linux.

  22. Re:dear taco, on Review: Atlantis · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between kissing someone's ass and sticking up for someone who is being flamed by everyone. I'm sure it's easy for you to sit at your computer and post on Slashdot as an Anonymous Coward, going along with what everyone else says and praying that you can get a few Karma points. Unlike some people, getting flamed isn't going to change the fact that I like Taco.

  25. Re:Just because... on Review: Atlantis · · Score: 1

    The article was a review of Atlantis, not 101 Reasons why Tomb Raider was bad. That would be the main reason for the lack of the in depth discussion of Tomb Raider. Not to start that here, but Tomb Raider was not that great of a movie. The story was alright, but the lines were horrible. The most redeeming quality was its adherance to the unrealistic quality of the video game. Anyway, back to Atlantis...
