  1. I hate annoying puzzles on First Great Star Trek PC Game? · · Score: 1

    I hate annoying puzzles, and I don't mean to say that you are wrong, just that different people want different things. To all those concidering this game: if you are looking for Deus Ex style puzzles, look else where.

    I play most FPS games to kill stuff with interesting weapons, and it was immensely fun to kill stuff with phaser rifles and shoulder mounted photon launchers.

  2. The format is... on Slashback: Guido, Games, Felines · · Score: 1

    The string before the first period (.) is the Serial Number. The second piece (between the 1st and 2nd periods) is the barcode type, and the third pieces (after the 2nd period) is the actuall barcode.

    Between any two CueCats, the entire first piece might be difference. It's just coincidence that only 5 characters are different in your two devices (the serial numbers are similar).

    If you want other people to use your mp3s, only store the 2nd and 3rd pieces of the string.

  3. Duh... It was a joke... on Cracker Endangered Astronauts · · Score: 1

    Obviously, he made these names up as a joke. They're not real. Relax there dude.

  4. Re:uh, I think yes on MSIE's Cookies Are Public · · Score: 3

    Actually the article just says that you can't get to credit card info or other account maintenance things because you are asked to type a password. This is correct. However, if the user has set up one-click on the computer you stole the cookies from, you probably can one-click order stuff. There is no password required for one-click (just "one click"). It's all based on cookies. Of course, whatever you order will be shipped to the victim and not to you, but you'll still run up their credit card bill :(

  5. Re:Mindcraft's lack of Netiquette on Mindcraft Posts Linux Hate Mail · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid I have to disagree. It is my understanding that emails, like any other form of correspondece, are copyrighted material even if the author does not explicetly include a copyright notice. You may not copy and/or distribute the email without the author's permission.

    In practice, this is not always done, but that's not the point.

  6. This is NOT A BREAKUP on Microsoft to Split into Four Groups? · · Score: 1

    They are just reorganizing their people into new departments so that they will be organized by function from the customer's perspective vs organization by product. For example all the developers together and all support people together vs all windows nt people together and all ofice people together.

    Seems like this reinforces integration not hinders it.

  7. damn I can't type on Ask Slashdot: Is SMP worth it? · · Score: 1

    oops. I meant -j. typo

  8. hold on there on Ask Slashdot: Is SMP worth it? · · Score: 1

    > Isn't compiling a kernel really a single process.

    No. It is lots of little processes. Each source file gets individually compiled, an linked at the end (into a library, and then the library into the kernel).

    try 'man make' look for the -k parameter
