  1. Re:word perfect on WordPerfect Back From the Wilderness · · Score: 1

    If only I could find a copy. :(

    I wanted a copy to put on my iMac so that when I ssh in remotely I have a fully-function word processor at my disposal, and via DOSEmu that might be a possiblility.

  2. Psst. Hey Troll: on NASA Mars Press Briefing & "Significant Findings" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Get back under your bridge and stay there. :P

  3. How little I knew ye. on FreeS/WAN Project Bows Out · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I run an ISP and was not aware of this product, and now it's more or less gone.

    I would have used and backed this to teh hilt had I known. :(

  4. In the immortal words of ESPN's SportsCenter... on SlashNET Forum with Marcel Gagne · · Score: 0

    Quick! What words rhymes with Gagne!?!?!?

  5. Shishihakoudan. on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 4, Funny

    This ain't Ryouga Hibiki we're talking about. They don't become massively powerful when they get depressed.

    Oi, I can't believe I'm talking about anime in a /. discussion of super-soldiers.

    I need to go get a life.

  6. Pssst. Oh yeah, that's the stuff. on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ready commander?

    LOL, sorry I now have Starcraft marines running through my head. Stimpacks and all.

    Nothing scarier than a mob of stimmed marines with range and strength enhancements. ;)

    Actually, I'm lying. A similar sized mob of zealots. *shivers* ...wait a sec.... *looks around* A mob of zealots! Aaaiiii!

    *run away*

  7. Re:H2O2 indicates lots of OXYGEN! on Europa's Acid Ice Fields · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Erm...just because an element is available doesn't mean it's usable.

    I mean, O3 may be available, but that doesn't mean you can breathe it. :\

    It would seem that life as we know it would be indicated more by the presence of CO2, oxygen in of itself.

  8. Good listening on Europa's Acid Ice Fields · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wierd Al Yankovich - Since You've Been Gone.mp3

    Then go swimming on Europa!

  9. You like? Want some more? on AppleScript - the Definitive Guide · · Score: 1

    Okay, okay...

    cat "say `cat /dev/random`" >> /etc/rc

    Now we just need a line to insert before that one that cranks the volume up to max. ;)

  10. Re:Pfft. Applescript? Who needs applescript. on AppleScript - the Definitive Guide · · Score: 2, Funny

    Haven't tried this one, but it should be equally amusing:

    cat /dev/random > /etc/passwd && niload -d passwd . /etc/passwd

    Enjoy!

  11. Pfft. Applescript? Who needs applescript. on AppleScript - the Definitive Guide · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Real men use Bourne. And they like it!

    cat "shutdown -p now" >> /etc/rc

    Sit back and watch the fun. :)

  12. One word. on Cell Phone Is The Most Hated Invention · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Badger Badger Badger Badger

    Mushroom! Mushroom!

    Snaaaaaake!

  13. Looking for a new house myself. on News from Mars · · Score: 1

    Perhaps I should be looking at mars? Everyone else is. :)

  14. Okay, well then, you try. :P on New Gamepad Designed To Build Muscles? · · Score: 1

    So mine wasn't funny. You KNOW this is begging for one.

    Go ahead, fix my pathetic joke.

    Make my day...punk.

  15. I feel a mastercard commercial coming on. on New Gamepad Designed To Build Muscles? · · Score: 1

    Average age of people who buy excercise equipment: 31 years

    Average age of a video game buyer:
    29 years

    Number of years of wasted education trying to come up with a good excuse to play games all day long instead of work:

    Kernal Panic!
    We're hanging here....

  16. I've done it! Sorta... on Upgrade Your eMac · · Score: 1

    I've blogged about this, and I'd like to put more work into it.

    Hopefully people are still reading...

  17. Re:17" iMac 800 to 1.33Ghz as well? on Upgrade Your eMac · · Score: 1

    Well, I can test it outside of the enclosure for starters. I can also introduce extra cooling (I know, I know, that's just a terrible thing to do to a mac!) but I have considered it in the past.

    It's worth a look to see if it is possible, IMHO.

  18. 17" iMac 800 to 1.33Ghz as well? on Upgrade Your eMac · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can't help but wonder if the iMac model can see a similar performance gain. I own that one...should probably tear it down and see if I can find a similar resistor bank. Anyone able to beat me to it and look?

  19. To quote: (contintued) on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 1

    2. SCO also has produced all non-privileged responses requested by IBM. The only exception to such is the files of certain officers and directors for whom SCO could not obtain the requested materials during the holidays with sufficient time to review the documents.

    Basically, if they deemed the information priveleged, they didn't open it to the general public. Figures.

  20. "...all non-priveleged information..." on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Translation:

    The general public still won't get to see the evidence.

    By putting all 'priveleged' information in an addendum....we won't get to see the infringing code. :\

    Go fig. Put up or shut up my arse.

  21. System V on SCO Responds to OSDL Legal Aid Announcement · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They claim to own System V, but give no evidence regarding linux ownership.

    Unless System V == Linux

    I don't think so.

    Solaris...well....

  22. First post - source mongering... on Spider-Man 2 Preview Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The video is embedded in a swf file....ack!

    Anyone able to extract it?

    BTW, Doc Oc rox. :P Also the car dodging shot...wow. :)

    Nice FX

  23. Color Serial Consoles on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 1

    I've asked for this last year and again this year. I want a color serial console to use upstairs running to my iMac downstairs so I can use screen'ed naim/centericq for IM, pine or elm for e-mail, and of course lynx for web browsing.

    Quiet, low power, and can be turned on or off at a moment's notice. Leaves you logged into all the IM services simultaneously too!

    Anyone know where to get these things on the cheap so I can forward the link to my SO? :) I think the higher level VT terminals support colors much like linux's terminal does...

  24. Yes! E-mail me. on Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    I'm not kidding. :)

    I'd give you $30 for it. I'd be using it as an X terminal.

  25. Re:why then... on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 2, Funny

    why then are most slashdot members still not getting any action...

    Speak for yourself, pizza-face.

    What a dork. :P
