  1. Odd... on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    9 instead of 8.1?
    Could this be an early April Fool's joke?

  2. Damned photino birds! on A Hotter Sun May Be Contributing To Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Always messing with our sun!

  3. Re:Which would be better... on SuSE may drop out of UnitedLinux · · Score: 1

    Well, a few of these articles have surmised that SuSE and Red Hat are next on SCO's list of companies to sue. So no matter what, SuSE may get hit anyway.

  4. Re:As long as the result isn't Knome... on KDE & Gnome Usability Engineers Interviewed · · Score: 1

    I reached my breaking point on the K-names when I first heard about Kroupware.

  5. Throw out their case on More on SCO vs. IBM Lawsuit · · Score: 2

    I think legal arguments should have to be logically sound. This one is clearly begging the question. "It's not possible for them to be as good as we are unless they stole from us. So we're suing them for theft."

    Cripes, sounds like 5-year-old whining to me.

  6. And when everybody subscribes... on Slashdot Subscribers Now See The Future · · Score: 1

    We'll find that in actuality the links will be slashdotted before the story is posted!

  7. Re:dangerous?? on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't think several tens of thousands of kilometers of anything could ever be described as "falling harmlessly".

  8. That's okay. on Another Garbage Patent · · Score: 1

    I've already patented the process of symbolic visual representation with icons. I've got the Eastern Orthodox Church by the goolies, and I'm going after Apple next.

  9. Re:Lose/Loose? on Slashback: Humility, Patents. Vapor.com · · Score: 1

    Umm, he also used the wrong homophone for "but", "it's", "there", "are", and "right" all in the same sentence, and capped it off with a smiley. Half of those were more glaring errors to me than "know". There's a lesson in there...

  10. Re:So, what is this? on Aspect-Oriented Programming with AspectJ · · Score: 2, Informative

    I read about it about a year ago in Java Pro.

    Here's an article

    And here
    And here

    Hope that helps.

  11. Re:Alex should have just waited on Half Mast · · Score: 1

    Most of you prefer to be tired, over-worked, miserable computer geeks with carpal tunnel syndrome. I'm sorry, but I don't see the appeal to that.

    Sure. You're the one with "1337" and "God" in your nick. Tell me that doesn't ooze great globs of geek essence.

  12. Re:Well on Trustworthy Computing At One Year · · Score: 1

    If SP1 was supposed to protect you from that worm, I'd say it failed - period. The other infected machine on the same network is a moot point. I mean, SP1 didn't protect you, so the lack of it on the other machine probably isn't the reason the infection was able to spread.

  13. Confused code names on Sun Introduces Subscription Solaris · · Score: 1

    I think they confused the code name for their licensing plan with the code name for their desktop linux distro. Clearly this licensing scheme should be called "Mad Hatter".

  14. Funny on Overture Buys Fast Search · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that I was just reading an article about how FAST came up with a lot of the things that geeks idolize Google for.

  15. Re:PHP scripting/coding/whatever on Do Scripters Suffer Discrimination? · · Score: 1

    And if you were to tell him that Capital One also uses PHP, he'd say they were exercising poor judgement as well.

    It's exactly like religion or politics. You believe what you want to believe regardless of fact.

    I wonder if he holds the same bias against, say, Python.

  16. The site is no more. on MicroBSD Is No More · · Score: 2, Informative

    The site is down now, with a notice explaining the shutdown of the project.

  17. Shouldn't there be on Toms Hardware Reviews 65 CPU's, Past & Present · · Score: 0

    some kind of software check to prevent double-posts?

  18. D'OH! on My Short Life As An Unintentional Porn Spammer · · Score: 1

    Tabbed browsing before morning coffee: BAD

  19. I've just patented on My Short Life As An Unintentional Porn Spammer · · Score: 1

    the process of surrounding the letter 'C' with the letters 'N' and 'R'.

  20. Re:huh? on First Cosmological Results From MAP · · Score: 1

    Reader's Digest version:

    Baryons are normal matter - quarks, electrons, protons, neutrons, etc.

    Dark matter is a term that collectively describes theoretical particles that have mass, but interact very weakly with baryons. We infer the existence of dark matter because there simply isn't enough baryonic matter to account for the universe's mass.

    Dark energy is used to describe the force that is causing the universe's expansion to apparently accelerate. The expansion should be slowing due to the force of gravity, but something appears to be counteracting that - we call that something dark matter.

  21. Re:I'm more amazed.... on Baked Apple · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe she was trying to reproduce PC Computing's old laptop trials - where they would freeze, bake, spill sugary coffee on, and drop laptops.

    Or maybe she's just dumber than the average rock, and thought she would get a pie out of the attempt.

  22. Re:How to program in the 21st century on How to be a Programmer · · Score: 1

    3.75 Cry when you realize that you now have no programmers and your spec is now ashes at the bottom of said hole.

  23. Prior Art? on SBC Patents Links, Dynamic Pages · · Score: 1

    How about the entire fuggin' web? Would that be prior art? Pretty sure what they're patenting existed long before 1996.

  24. What, you mean... on Ain't It Cool Announces Game Site · · Score: 0, Redundant

    lie, bitch, and moan, like they do about movies?

  25. Gotcha! on MS SQL Server Worm Wreaking Havoc · · Score: 1

    Got you, you bastard.
