  1. Counter-strike on Linux And Innovative Simulations · · Score: 1

    Big on-line games of Counter-Strike eh?

  2. What is the index like? on SQL: Visual QuickStart Guide · · Score: 4, Funny

    If an SQL book isn't easy to search I'm not buying it.

  3. My first program on Software Archaeology · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    10 print "Hello World" 20 goto 10 Those were the days....

  4. Sounds like a job for a P2P network on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 1
    So if an artist plays a song to everyone who wants to listen to it it will probably take this amount of time too.

    Surely some laywer will work this out, then distribute a self serving auto-sueing letter over Kazaa?!?

  5. Mad isn't it on Pentagon Lets You Bid on Terrorism? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just read this on the BBC. I guess they will automatically arrest the people who get the best predictions as the perpetrators!

  6. VNC on a Psion 5mx on SSH or VNC From Your Cell Phone? · · Score: 1

    I used to use VNC on my Psion 5mx through the Java VNC viewer. I did experiment using the IR link on my mobile phone to my Psion a few times to check e-mail with pine in an xterm. I upgraded to a Palm Zire71 after my Psion died and VNC is the one thing I'm missing most. If I get a bluetooth phone, I'll probably buy a bluetooth upgrade for my Palm (if one gets releases) to use VNC on my Palm rather than get a phone with the display built in.

  7. Air con on China Building Linux-Based 10 Teraflop Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The big story should be about the air conditioning system for this baby.

  8. Life expectancy on Japan's War On E-Waste · · Score: 1

    When you buy a new device how long before new technology makes it rubbish? I'd like to see life expectancy warnings on products.

  9. Official support on Reverse Engineered 802.11b+ Drivers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I can see why a company will not want to provide multi-OS support officially, as if Linux changed they don't want the liability of having to support the changes. But, if someone in that company was already half written a driver, even if it is buggy as hell, surely they should give this away to the user community as a starting point rather than forcing people to reverse engineer their own solutions.

  10. Misread on AOL Lays Off 50 Netscape Coders · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I read that at first as 5.0 Netscape coders...

  11. Answers on Meet the DoJ's 'Anti-Piracy' Lawyers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Who owns the IP on their answers and are we allowed to distribute then on Kazaa if they do?

  12. Lets make people more aware. on Still No Federal Spam Law · · Score: 5, Funny
    Can we make more people aware of these law discussions?

    Lets forward it to all our friends, and tell them they have to forward it all their friends.......

  13. Ink costs on Giant "Inkjet Printer" · · Score: 3, Funny

    With Ink More Expensive Than Champagne printing a wall must cost thousands.

  14. Halo hack? on Hacking the XBox · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is there a hack in this book to help me complete Halo?

  15. Beer... on Scientists Grow Decaffeinated Coffee Plants · · Score: 3, Insightful
    And I thought alcohol free beer was bad enough.

    Isn't the caffeine in the coffee the point of coffee?

  16. Re:Anonymous Coward is a fool on Europe, Free Speech, And The Internet · · Score: 1

    This might go on for some time....

  17. Re:Anonymous Coward is a fool on Europe, Free Speech, And The Internet · · Score: 1

    And here it is.

  18. Anonymous Coward is a fool on Europe, Free Speech, And The Internet · · Score: 5, Funny
    Anonymous Coward is a fool.

    In accordance with European law Anonymous Coward may reply to this comment.

  19. Slashdot the web on Europe, Free Speech, And The Internet · · Score: -1, Redundant
    So we Slashdot the whole internet and everyone can comment on everything.

    We can even comment on this duplicate article.

  20. Slashdot the web? on Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication · · Score: 4, Funny

    So if the whole web works like slashdot we're covered? People can comment on any article if it refers to them or not.

  21. ICQ + AIM = on AOL Bridges AIM and ICQ · · Score: 5, Funny

    So now I can get spam from two places at once!

  22. Stick a Gecko to the tape? on Gecko Feet Inspire Sticky Tape · · Score: 1

    Wonder what would happen if you stuck a Gecko to this tape?

  23. I work remotely sometimes on Teleworking in the UK? · · Score: 1
    I work for a company that is based in San Diego but I'm based at a client in Stevenage, UK. I frequently take a day off from Stevenage and work at home over a VPN to the San Diego machines. I don't think I'd like to work from home full time, but it is great to have the option to do this.

    Savings for the employer are that when there is a traffic jam or freak snow storm, the employee can continue to work from home.

  24. Re:mozilla on State of the E-nion · · Score: 1

    Oh no it doesn't. I'm using Mozilla 1.3 and it works fine.

  25. UK prices are higher :( on Sharp Ships Zaurus SL-5600; 5500 Available Cheap · · Score: 1

    I'd love one of these but the cheapest UK retailer I can find it dabs where a Sharp SL5500 costs £233 or around $360. :(
