  2. Re:How sad... on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Oh, and don't worry. It'll me open-source. I'll put it in my journal, just to add insult to injury ;)

  3. How sad... on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 2

    Now I'll have to run slashdot through a perl proxy to filter these...

    Can someone provide an overview?

  5. Re:Sick, sick, sick on SSSCA Hearing · · Score: 0
    No, the end of civilization comes when the beast conquerors all other OSes, as they all use open source in at least one critical component now...

    • OS X - Darwin
    • BSD - BSD itself
    • Linux - Linux itself

    See?

  6. Re:I will accept copy protection. on SSSCA Hearing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You don't understand. Open source software will become illegal.

    If this gets passed into law, the holywood computers would be illegal! Serves them right...

    Now we'll have to reflash our Ipods!

  9. But... on SSSCA Hearing · · Score: 1, Funny

    Do you seriously need copy-protection for your microwave because it has flash rom?

  10. Another use for it on Augmented Reality: Enhanced Perception · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When you're walking down the street, an arrow shows you how to get to your destination. No need to pull out your PDA when you get lost! It could also be a way to do 3d videoconferencing...

  11. Re:Privacy issues - not necessarily on Augmented Reality: Enhanced Perception · · Score: 1

    Or it could show an excerpt from a manpage whenever you look at something and scratch your head...

  12. The rumor on iWarez · · Score: 1

    >And while the iPod has a built-in anti-piracy mechanism that prevents music files from being copied from one computer to another

    When will this rumor end? There is no such thing. It's just not automatic; you can drag-n-drop the music into the iPod.

  13. My isp on Are Public NNTP Servers a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    Roadrunner supplies NNTP access, though in my area they only keep messages for three days (on average). Why don't you set up your own? Anyway, public news servers can be prone to abuse (ie spam) and might be blacklisted.

  16. Bandwidth? on Web Hosting - Roll Your Own vs Hosting Company? · · Score: 1
    How much traffic could a typical, residential DSL connection take out there, anyways?

    Not enough to survive the slashdot effect, that's for sure...
