Dumbass. Do you even know how PSX mod chips work? I'll explain, and I'll even use small words so you can understand.
1) A Playstation CD without the North American region encoding (either import or copy) is put into the North American Playstation.
2) N.A. PSX asks the CD, "Where are you from?"
3) Mod chip throws its' voice, pretending to be the CD. "I'm from North America. Run me, please."
4) N.A. PSX: "Duh, okeydokey."
As I recall, PSX mod chips were originally designed to play imports. Allowing copies to play was just a bonus. So, there's no different types, they all work the same way.
Oh, that's silly! A perpetual war against The Enemy, designed to keep the lower class complacent and under control so that those in power can stay in power? Nonsense, that could never happen in real life!
I agree with you on most points, but Molson does put out the occasional good commercial. (Not that stupid Joe one, I'm thinking about pet beavers.)
Ah, Tim Horton's, home away from home! Any overseas tourists who come here, please go to a Tim Horton's and order a medium double-double. It's the only way to properly understand us.
And the hell of it is that most of those hijackers weren't even from Afganistan. They were from Saudi Arabia. Afganistan just happens to be a conveniently located, militarily-weak country for President Cheney's oil company to run a pipeline through once a puppet government was set up.
Granted, the Taliban weren't exactly on Amnesty International's best-loved list, but the ends don't justify the means.
I'd argue that a lot of Slashdot readers hate, unreliable, insecure software. Hating a signifigant fraction of Microsoft's offerings is merely an effect of that.
Makes me wonder if those GBA compact-flash adaptor cartridges might be useful for this kind of project. That is, if the company that makes them hasn't gone out of business yet.
Technically, they own the "Canadian" trademark as it relates to beer. You could still decide to go open "Canadian Discount Used Cars" or "Canadian Flapping-Headed Pigfuckers, Inc" and it would be legal. (Err, the name of the business, that is. I'm pretty sure pigfucking itself is illegal.)
Uh, yeah. Metric is quirky. Only about 99% of the people on earth use it. And I think you're referring to the attempted 0 longitude back during the Revolution, not latitude. And as for slang, most France French speakers I know are pretty open minded. It's the more old-fashioned of the Quebec French speakers that get the most pissed off. Acadian French speakers just shrug and ask you to "pass une autre beer". Long live Franglais, breaking down barriers between cultures!
Loop-AES. Assuming you don't have the loopback filesystem module built right into the kernel, but have it as a module or not at all (look for loop.o), no kernel recompile or patching or even a specific kernel version is required. Patching losetup and mount, on the other hand, is required, but it's painless. And Reiser FS is a perfect companion to Loop-AES.
One handy little thing about Loop-AES I love is how the encrypted loopback filesystems can be burned straight onto a CD. The upshot of this is secure backups, like if you've got nosy roommates.

Slashdot should cache pages to prevent the Slashdot Effect!
Sure, it's a great idea, but it has a lot of implications. For example, commercial sites rely on their banner ads to generate revenue. If I cache one of their pages, this will mess with their statistics, and mess with their banner ads. In other words, this will piss them off.
Of course, most of the time, the commercial sites that actually have income from banner ads easily withstand the Slashdot Effect. So perhaps we could draw the line at sites that don't have ads. They are, after all, much more likely to buckle under the pressure of all those unexpected hits. But what happens if I cache the site, and they update themselves? Once again, I'm transmitting data that I shouldn't be, only this time my cache is out of date!
I could try asking permission, but do you want to wait 6 hours for a cool breaking story while we wait for permission to link someone?
So the quick answer is: "Sure, caching would be neat." It would make things a lot easier when servers go down, but it's a complicated issue that would need to be thought through in great detail before being implemented.
Yeah! Goddamn those people who compile from source themselves. Those idiots don't appreciate the power of open source. They should just apt-get the binaries!
Sigh.
You're a real fucking retard. Or a Debian and/or Mandrake user. Same thing, really.

Ergo, you're an idiot.

You've only tried GAIM's ICQ support, and it's lacking a bunch of useless extras, ergo all the other protocols under GAIM also suck? You're an idiot.
If I remember correctly, Venice was wiped out by a very small asteroid strike, which led to Spacewatch starting, which led to the discovery of Rama.
As usual, CNet gets some individual facts right, others a bit wrong, and totally fucks up the connections between them.
Dammit Berny Ebbers, don't try to destroy more lives than you already have.
Maybe. (goes back to munching on his Chocolate Jesus)

I don't know, I always found 3.1 rather stable. Totally non-functional and utterly useless, but stable nonetheless.

No, those of us who hate Windows are very much aware of why we hate it.
Exactly right. But at least they're a good source of free AA batteries for us photolab monkeys.

Homer: "Look at these low, low prices on famous brand name electronics!"
Bart: "Don't be a sap, Dad. These are just crappy knock-offs."
Homer: "I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox, and Sorny!"
It's the price, stupid. It's only US$200. Also, not everyone needs a server farm rivaling Google.

Amen to that! And ROX-Filer makes a nice, lightweight companion for Windowmaker, too.

You're a real fucking retard. Or a Debian and/or Mandrake user. Same thing, really.
Or, install the source to openssh by hand, and solve all the damn pam errors.
At this point I would like to thank Patrick Volkerding yet again, this time for being dead-set against the wretched abortion known as PAM.
Damn you! Now my coffee is decorating my desk via a trip through my nose. Jerk. :)
Well said, sir. Thank you.
