  1. Ethiopian Fair Trade on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Grounds For Change Ethiopian Yergacheffe Nectar of the Gods :)

  2. Hey, run condor on Run Linux as a Windows Screensaver · · Score: 1

    This would be great for running Condor flocks in a University computer lab. Distributed computing, only when not being used.

  3. This thread is useless without light, colour, ... on Philips amBX: For Ambient Gaming · · Score: 2, Funny

    This thread is useless without light, colour, sound, heat and airflow.

  4. What will this mean for SVG? on Adobe Buys Macromedia for $3.4B · · Score: 5, Insightful

    SVG is Flash's biggest rival, but Adobe has always supported it. I hope this means there will be more open standards in Macromedia Flash.

  5. Redhat's still running 2.4 on Linux Has Fewer Bugs Than Rivals · · Score: 1

    The report, set to be released on Tuesday, states that the 2.6 Linux production kernel, shipped with software from Red Hat, Novell and other major Linux software vendors
    I just ran up2date and got the latest... 2.4.21-20.0.1.EL
    I guess they were back-porting a bugfix :)

  7. IMAP over WebDAV on GmailFS - The Google File System · · Score: 1
    What would be cool is IMAP over WebDAV, so I could script my email.
    find /mnt/mail -name *VIAGRA* -exec rm -rf {}\;
  8. It's all stupid crap on Metisse - New Looking Glass Alternative · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This spacial desktop organization is just crap. Who wants this stupid stuff? Tabs, panels, expose', alt tab, etc... all solve the problem of navigating a workspace. This is a 2D environment based on flat pages of text, get over the desire to jazz it up in stupid crap ways. What we need is a real 3D computer, with knobs, dials, and levers; a little interaction. 3D is great for games and movies about hackers ;) but stupid for modern desktop applications.

  9. also used in the Phone Book on Who Makes MapQuest's Maps? · · Score: 1

    Navtech's map databases are used in everything from Garmin GPS units to Alpine in-dash auto navigation systems.
    Southwesten Bell also uses their (mapquest) city maps for our phone book. Although not with an option to zoom.

  10. Where's the big red N topic icon? on Putting Novell's SuSE Purchase In Perspective · · Score: 1

    You gotta get one of those. Or maybe a penguin with a red N on the chest?

  11. Mirrors are out of date on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    So please use a mirror if possible could have just read wait a day or two.

  12. Don't BFast, Amazon's $2 Cheaper. on First New Gaiman Sandman In 7 Years · · Score: 1

    Seriously, Gaiman rocks. I'm reading American Gods right now and it's very consuming. Sandman, MiracleMan, Neverwhere, etc, he doesn't stop putting out original quality stuff. He's also got a blog http://www.neilgaiman.com. Isn't Amazon always cheaper than bn? The O'Reilly books especially.

  13. Ching, Ching, Ching...! on SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/search.pl?topic=88

  14. Employers like limited skills on Ostrich Lessons In Oregon? · · Score: 1

    Some employers would love it if they could get people who only know MSWord97. For data entry, they want to keep you with just enough knowledge to do your job. Not enough to find another job and ask for a raise.

  15. Blade Runner? on Flexible Computers in the Future? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does this remind anyone else of that picture browser in Blade Runner?

  16. Fun and Artsy - Haring Kids on Interesting and Educational Web Pages for Children? · · Score: 1

    This site is fun and artsy: Haring (, Keith) Kids

  17. A small book on unix/linux administration. on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 2

    I definately need the dead tree version. A small book on unix/linux admin would be nice. Just cover adding users, wrappers(firewall), ssh/sftp, bash, vim, apache, samba, and installing from source for newbies. Less than 10 chapters, less than $20.
