  1. Re:How paperless is paperless? on Iowa College Goes Paperless · · Score: 1

    I'd hate to see how their all-digital bathrooms are going to work.

    The three seashells, of course.

  2. Re:the WHAT department? on A Contrarian View of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Shows what I know.

    Actually, it shows that you didn't read the article/speech.

  3. NSIS! on Software Packaging Formats for Windows? · · Score: 3, Informative

    an installer for Windows that is easy to use, can uninstall whatever has been installed, can manage the registry and also (maybe) have versioning controls

    The Nullsoft SuperPIMP Install System does three out of four...and it's quite possible that you could script the versioning yourself. Check it out.

  4. What a twisted pervert! on Marcelo Tosatti on UnitedLinux (And More) · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not like working on 2.5 (the development kernel).
    Yeah, that kind of thing is really sexy.


    Marcelo is a kernelophile! He should be locked up for having feelings like towards kernels! ;)

  5. Re:Peer-to-peer pioneer kills self on Public Software Fund's First Project · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It would be wrong to jump to conclusions here.

    What if I have a mat specifically built for this purpose?

  6. Wait til the RIAA hears about this! on Public Software Fund's First Project · · Score: 3, Funny

    If I'm not mistaken, N'Sync has a little-known song named "apache.tgz". Also, Brititany has done "kernel-2.4.19.tgz".

    Oh, well...it was a nice idea while it lasted.

    ;)

  7. Voice-activated wearable? on Laptops for the Disabled? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps I'm mistaken, but wasn't that one of the "futuristic" commercials that tells ya that IBM will be bringing this to you...but not for a few years yet.

  8. SIMMs? on Small Footprint PCs? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a modern machine that uses SIMMs. And I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a 486 with 2 10/100 ethernet ports on-board as well.

    Do you have any idea what you are really looking for?

  9. Re:Editorial and the Article on The True Story of Website Results · · Score: 1

    I saw no reference of being able to kill anyone. Did I read the same article? (yes I read the article)

    Read it again. Here's a hint: first two paragraphs. And I think that your local community college offers reading comprehension classes. ;)

  10. Re:twilight zone on The True Story of Website Results · · Score: 1

    Doesn't TV teach us anything?

    Well, one thing is for sure: once you pushed that button, someone else would be offered the chance to press the button for $LOCAL_CURRENCY. And you can bet your ass that the button would be located precisely halfway around the world from you.

    It's been probably ten years since I saw that episode...but a nice twist at the end! I will never press any button like that.

  11. New Zealand? on When Trademark Protection Gets Ridiculous · · Score: 1

    Silly, anonymous NZ reader. Doesn't he realize that he's at Slashdot? All we care about here is the rights of Americans! Someone point this lost soul to slashdot.nz.

    ;)

    It's a joke, mods...calm down.

  12. Good? on Drawing For The Blind · · Score: 4, Funny

    blind people know how to draw, and they're as good at it as other people.

    Well, if the poster had seen any of my "artwork", he'd know that that isn't saying very much.

  13. Re:Microwave Pizza?? on A Foundry in Every Kitchen · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who in the world microwaves pizza? It gets very soggy and loses almost any redeeming qualities.

    A lot of people. And the ones that know how to operate a microwave properly enjoy it more than the twits that don't.

  14. Imagine that. on Music Companies Convicted of Price Fixing Again · · Score: 1

    It's rediculous that these companies are permitted to do this at all. CD prices keep going up while manufacturing costs keep going down. Any common person can see that all the music labels and distributors are 100% guilty of price-fixing.

    And that's why I don't bother to pay for CDs anymore. I would rather support my favorite artists directly by going to their shows, buying their merchandise or even buying the CDs direct from them. (Yes, the label and distributors still get their cut, but the artist gets a bigger cut than their usual pennies.)

    Call me a thief and tell me I have no morals. I really give a shit what someone on Slashdot thinks of me. Really.

  15. Re:Definition? on Windependence Day · · Score: 1

    Well, I've always found it a bit questionable. All that twitching and winking seemed a little "sweet" to me...

  16. With apologies to Mr. Chekov from ST:TOS... on UVA Computer Science Museum · · Score: 1

    "You've never experienced the Apple II until you've experienced it in it's original communist red..."

  17. Re:Well done to the team (again) but.. on Mozilla 1.1 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    Many web designers charge more, sometimes much more, to produce standards-compliant web pages without all their Javascript and IE-specific tricks.

    In that case, they are unprofessional and you should look elsewhere* for your needs.

    * Yes, this was a shameless plug.

  18. Fuckin beaurocrats. Slightly OT. on Testing Roller Coasters WIth Fred · · Score: 1

    In New Jersey, ride regulators have proposed what would be the nation's first ride design standards. The regulations would include standards for ride restraints and limits on G-forces.

    Markey says eight people have died from brain injuries on thrill rides worldwide in the last 10 years.

    Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen.

  19. Six minutes later... on First Benchmarks of AMD Hammer Prototype · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...and Slashdot has declared war on Germany!

  20. Re:Home page on Community Sets Up Their Own DSL · · Score: -1

    Bah. So Slashdot already had it. At least I read the fooking article!

  21. Home page on Community Sets Up Their Own DSL · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Here's a link to the Ruby Ridge Internet Cooperative Association.

    Or in plain text: http://www.rric.net/

    It gives a lot of details on the setup and such...

  22. WOW! on Milky Way Leaves Devastation in its Wake · · Score: 4, Funny

    It slices! It dices! It cuts through old galaxies!

    And it's only $19.95...BUT WAIT! If you act within the next 10 minutes, we'll include ANOTHER milky way with your order! That's right! Not one, but TWO Milky Way galaxies for only $19.95! Call now!

    1-800-MILK-WAY - Please allow 6-8 billion years for delivery.

  23. WTF? on MacSlash Domain Stolen · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it's just some of you people, if Dotster fixed the problem already, or what...but macslash.com points to macslash.com.

  24. I have an idea. on Questions for Town Meeting with Congressman? · · Score: 1

    Ask him if he sells out the American public to corporations that bribe-- er..."contribute to his campaign."

    Maybe I'm just bitter, but at this point I'm convinced that all politicians are crooks.

  25. To distill it all down to one quick sentence... on 1936 Perspective on Television · · Score: 1

    "It ain't all that great." And now, 66 years later, I can say the same thing about network television.

    HBO, on the other hard, well...it's not TV, it's HBO! ;)
