  1. Re:So what took them so long? on Linux on the iMac G4 · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure which the joke is - iMacx (hmm, that SuperDrive http://www.imaclinux.net/images/imac-g4/install/su perdrive.jpg looks pretty hot) or the time.

    Another joke...

  3. Re:"Quantum" programming in Perl, oh brother.. on Quantum Programming with Perl · · Score: 1

    Yes, I have broadband (AT+T), but at the second some damn script kiddie is doing an ALL-ROUTERS mcast and I'm getting DoS'd. 56k BroadBand. Stay away at all costs. Err, and what does that have to do with what I wrote?

    OK, that's my off-topic bit for today. Mod me down now. *poof!*

  4. Blazer on Handspring Treo Now Available · · Score: 1

    From the article:
    Blazer(TM)--the award-winning wireless web browser

    Em, what award has Blazer won again? I thought that AvantGo won the awards. And, does it support typical PQAs or 'real' modem apps like the aforementioned AvantGo?

    Hmm...

    My only real gripe is it's price, looking at it. Looks schweet, too pricey. I'd have to give up the GF4Ti4800 from my new PeeCee for that ;)

    --pi, who is getting a new peecee soon...

  5. Re:Movement to Free Software on Open Code in Public Procurement · · Score: 1

    MS should open source 3.1

    Anyone else see some big WINE changes coming from that..?

    If nothing else, they should put it under the CE "shared source" license. That's pretty much freer than free, it's so free RMS would hate it because it's freer than the GPL!! *ducks* Ok, so I'm exaggerating.

  9. Re:"Quantum" programming in Perl, oh brother.. on Quantum Programming with Perl · · Score: 1

    don't start saving for that Pentium-Q just yet

    I know I won't; looking at the current P4's 'fuzzy math', the last thing I need is my PQ (Pentium-Q) or QPU (Quantum Processing Unit) getting me a decryption key for my database that's 'close enough' and will transform it into pr0n...

    Ah, Intel.

    No but seriously: Around here, there are two types of students. One is the canonical village idiot that plays sports, and hates the other group. The other is someone like me, who prefers to sit and h@x0r on his p33c33. *glances down at his heavily modded NEC, while staying warm in his ThinkGeek Linux blanket.* Bridging that gap would make for a good future. Just MHO (My Humble Opinion, IMHO without the I)...

    But only the inventor could patent something. So, are we saying that only God could patent it? Adam or Eve? And what about the Atheists among us? Some cro-magnon in that case? Were cro-magnons even smart enough?

  18. Dreamcast in Picture on Vibrating Controller Alert · · Score: 1

    Hmm, the picture has nothing to do with the article. The DC's controllers don't have the PuruPuru/Jump/Rumble pack in 'em, and the only ergo problem I see is the way they are seated. I'd break my neck like that. TV's too small, too, they're gonna kill their eyes.
