  1. online forums on Richard Dawkins On Science Writing · · Score: 1

    That's an amazing coincidence, because the question I was just asking myself was why aren't any Nobel prizes ever awarded to comments in online forums?

  2. "hard work and talent" on Linspire Accused Of Misusing Creative Commons Art · · Score: 1

    I know this will seem trollish, but I don't see what in the images was worth worrying about. Aren't they just several bubbles put together? All the "coolness" of the image seems to be what the drawing program took care of, like the gradients for the spheres and their shininess. It seems more like the hard work and talent belonged to the drawing-program developers.

  3. another review on MySQL and Perl for the Web · · Score: 1

    I also posted a review on Perl Monks when the book came out. It still isn't in his list of reviews, though. :/

  4. standard on A Standardized Open Source Network Authentication · · Score: 1

    Yeah, let's make all the security systems the same so that it's more convenient - not only for the sysadmin, but for those trying to attack the system...

  5. Re:Here's an idea on EA Takes The Sims 'Street' With The Urbz · · Score: 1

    I really like that game. Except it gets too easy after you figure it out. Never fight the cops or bother with guns. Deal only with cocaine and herion once you have enough money. Buy as many bitches as possible. Put any extra money (more than you need to fill up on cocaine) in the bank so it collects interest. The last time I played it, I'd amassed quadrillions of dollars then quit from boredom.

  6. dcop on Rapid Application Development with Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Does mozilla have something like DCOP? I read an article recently on using DCOP with KDE and it seemed really cool. Now I want everything to have DCOP. :)

  7. Re:Your boss is right. on Is Experience in Programming Worth Anything? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what this has to do with 12 years of actual work experience.

  8. Re:So? on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 1

    Why is it that everywhere people can take pictures of me but I can't take pictures of anything? If I take a picture of a bridge I'm a terrorist. If I take a picture in a movie theater I'm a pirate. But I can be filmed all throughout the mall and/or cinema which I walk through to watch the movie.

  9. Re:set nitpicking = on on MySQL Clustering Software Launched · · Score: 1

    I don't think it means the most installs. For example, if MySQL had scantily-clad babes advertising it, then it could be really popular even if it wasn't installed a lot.

  10. Re:Great on Paid To Spam · · Score: 1
    There's not really any point in a widescale distributed email delivery system OTHER than delivering spam that I can think of...
    And nobody needs more than 640kb of RAM, and all the important science has been done already, and because I can't think of anything lets outlaw any new laws of nature.
  11. boring ride on 'Ice Highway' To Open Earth's Last Frontier · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That looks like a long, boring ride from the picture. I don't imagine the radio reception is very good there either. Actually, look at the picture makes me feel sad for some reason.

  12. Re:This is sick. on Scotts Testing Genetically Modified Grass · · Score: 1
    Once that grass spreads beyond the golf courses and invades the yards of peoples' homes, how are they supposed to kill it without killing their own grass.
    I know, who wants their lawn to look like a golf course. Wait a minute...
  13. Re:TWiki on Implementing a Knowledge Management Solution? · · Score: 1
    I was tired of keeping my notes in a giant text file though. It was growing to about 1mb and was difficult to deal with.
    Did you consider something like, oh, I dunno, separating your notes out into separate files? And when you get ready to go even further outside your comfort zone, try putting the files into separate directories.
  14. linux is not hard on A Babe in Tuxland · · Score: 3, Funny
    Linux is not hard unless you convince yourself that it is.
    Somebody let Eric Raymond know that.
  15. Re:Mod parent up on John Woo & Metroid the Movie? · · Score: 1

    I don't care about your arguable points, and besides you have no character to attack.

  16. Re:trust? on Are Computers Ready to Create Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 1

    I take it from the 'Flamebait' moderation that you people actually trust mathematicians? I trust them about as far as I could throw a philosopher.

  17. Re:Another Part for Angelina Jolie? on John Woo & Metroid the Movie? · · Score: 1

    ITYM Natalie Portman, no?

  18. Re:Mod parent up on John Woo & Metroid the Movie? · · Score: 0, Troll
    Hey, if it sells, go for it. Pornographic stuff, hey, even child porn or beastiality, I don't have a particular ethical problem with some publisher running out and doing what they want, because I still get to choose what I look at.
    You don't have an ethical problem with child porn? Because you get to choose what you look at? You self-centered piece of shit.
  19. trust? on Are Computers Ready to Create Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can we trust the mathematicians ?

  20. Re:stupid dang "goody two shoes" USA pollies on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 1

    Uhhuhuhuhhuuhhuhuhuhhuh, uhhuuhuhuhuhuhuhhhuuhuhuhhuhuhuhuhuhhuh, he said "coming".

  21. proverbial tortoise on Dan Gillmor Reconsiders Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's Dan who's actually the tortoise...

  22. quantum post on Chaotic Computing In Practice · · Score: 4, Funny

    We're already seeing quantum computing, as this story is in two places simulataneously. Remember, you saw it here first, and second, on Slashdot.

  23. Re:Zing! on Invulnerable, Waterproof PDA · · Score: 1

    or "seeing as it's Slashdot... I guess I won't".

  24. Re:Change of the rules on ICANN Cracks Down on Invalid WHOIS Data · · Score: 1

    I don't know why that comment was marked insightful, as hardcoding the snailmail address to the IP address just seems like bad practice. If I buy several domains, and I have a hosting provider who feels like hosting some in the Arctic and Antarctica during the summer, why should the addresses have to be kept in sync when the machines are moved back to Vanuatu during the winter?

  25. Re:What the EU did was perfect, fuck the DOJ. on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1

    What I was referring to was that the message "WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN" implies them hunting Microsoft. Hunting. Searching for. I get annoyed by people repeating phrases that they think sound cool but don't apparently understand what they mean. But that's what people do, I guess. Maybe that's about all we do.
