  1. /.'ed on Asteroid Impact Simulator Available · · Score: 1

    Looks like slashdot just had an impact on the server. :)

  2. Re:Who cares on FreeBSD 5.2.1 On SPARC64 · · Score: 1

    I agree. xBSD may be fine on silly old UltraSparcs, but when you get into the multiprocessor world Solaris is a tough game to beat. You can't beat Sun's support as well if you can afford it.

    I guess it's all about what you are most comfortable with and your budget/free time.

  3. Re:Sun Blade 1500 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 On SPARC64 · · Score: 1

    Have you tried updating the PROM before trying Solaris 9?

  4. organic = gas? on Recharge Batteries in 30 Secs · · Score: 1, Troll

    Isn't gasoline organic? Isn't a fuel cell "rechargeable".

    That would be great if they made a battery that recharged off of human methane emissions... heh.

  5. Heh... LoJack for geeks. on 500 EURO reward for finding car by finding laptop · · Score: 1

    Or should that be LoHack?

  6. Not right! on USDTV Announces Low-Cost, Localized Digital TV · · Score: 1

    I'm rather surprised that the FCC is allowing a service like this over public frequencies. It's like NBC all of a sudden scrambling their signals and require you to buy a box and pay a montly fee to watch their programming and commericals.

    On one hand I think it's pretty cool, but also it sucks because the airwaves should belong to the public domain for all to enjoy together. Rather this situation only benefits a small group.

  7. *Zap* on 'Brain Pacemakers' Being Tested · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have a brain pacemaker and it sucks...*ZAP*

    I mean they're fantastic.

  8. Sweet!... uh I mean bad virus... bad virus on MyDoom Windows Worm DDoSing SCO · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is there anywhere I can go to get this virus?

  9. I've done this before!!! on Obtaining Replacement Parts for Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend at the time smashed the LCD panel on her Canon laptop. All I had to do to fix it was to remove the offending part, get the part number off it and call up Canon's parts department. Fixed the laptop and saved a lot of cash.

    I've also done this for a Clarion car stereo's tape player (yeah tapes!), and a Mitsubishi 91TXM montitor's control panel.

    Besides, how can I break something that is already broken. Trick is to get the parts department and not the bobo head sales/support people.

  10. Great for Beginners and Pros on Core PHP Programming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I pretty much started out my programming career on the hot-off-the-press Core PHP book. The online documentation is good as a reference, but for someone getting started Core PHP is well balanced enough so the reader doesn't get crushed by details.

    Wore my book out...

  11. /.'ed on Better Search Results Than Google? · · Score: 1

    How come all my searches return:

    Problem occurred while using Vivisimo::

    Hmmmmm...

  12. Cellphone dead? on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll take all the cellphone interruptions I can get. Go sun go!

    -your sig here

  13. Sun SPARCstation 5 on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    I've got a Sun SPARCstation 5 with a new hard drive that runs as my home mail/web server. It think it's older than my Sun Ultra 2...

  14. Open-Source McCarthyism? on SCO Derides GPL, Will Revoke SGI's UNIX License · · Score: 1

    "The open-source movement is a communist affront to capitalism" If that is the case then... bottoms up comrades! :)

  15. Sweet! on Baltimore Inner Harbor To Go Wireless · · Score: 0, Funny

    Now the homeless in Baltimore can be geeks too!

  16. Re:What could be worse? on Building Better Spam · · Score: 1

    Ooooh. The old "Pork in your eye" thing. I hate when that happens.

  17. Voice of the People on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    50 million people have spoken against telemarketing. The Do Not Call list could be regarded as a petition couldn't it? So why is Oklahoma against the people? Smells like somebody is selling out...

  18. Go Diesel! on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had a 2000 VW Gold TDI and pulled 700 miles on a 15 gallon tank. I'm backwards-math-dyslexic but anybody should know that some crazy mad milage. Not bad for a car that has ~150 ft/lbs tourque. That and ya can fill up with the big rigs.

  19. I got an idea! on Mandrake Linux 9.2, Adware Version · · Score: 1

    RedHat!

    Bye Bye Mandrake. No diskspace for you!

  20. ...oh well on Bent Fibers Put Networks At Risk · · Score: 1

    You should see the physics my network defies!

  21. Dear SCO on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    SCO,

    Up your butt

    Down your nose
    with a rubber hose.

    Shhesh what a bunch of pinheads.

  22. tell that to RedHat on Ian Murdock: Linux is a Process, Not a Product · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Redhat makes a living by making Linux a product.

  23. Everyone likes subpoenas! on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    Let's all have a subpoena party! Everybodys gonna get one right?

  24. Just remove the #(*&!^ code on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 1

    If somebody removes the offending code and replaces it with something functionally similar that would be a nice kick in the balls (if they have any) to SCO right?

  25. too much matrix on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    dude has been watching too much Matrix. Besides, a robot can never beat a human when it comes to making awful fast food.
