  1. 3G Phones ? on Two-Legged Home Robot, Coming Soon To Japan · · Score: 4, Funny

    War driving to conquer japan with mad freaking robots .... hopefully they'll not think about bluetooth ... :)

  2. Re:The Slashdot experience - By the Rubyx author on Rubyx OS - A Testament To The Power Of Ruby · · Score: 1

    Does the new init thing support parallell startup ? there was some way to start stuff like apache and mysql at the same time instead of serially ... though the original guys who tried this used "make" to handle dependencies

  3. Re:There's plenty to keep them busy on Future Directions Proposed For Mozilla · · Score: 3, Funny

    1. Fire - Everyone
    2. ?????
    3. Profit !

  4. Re:Cell locations on Using the GPS Features of Your Cell Phone? · · Score: 1

    India as well

  5. Cold Fusion on How We Knew AL00667 Would Miss Earth · · Score: 1

    Hmm... maybe they should try Cold Fusion for their rockets as well ? :)

  6. Gimp was always cool on A First Look At The GIMP 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I have been using gimp for more than 3 years now ... and I really miss some of the features I had in FireWorks or Flash (yes, people do use flash for images as well). But that said , I think the new gimp screens look ugly ... I liked the old thick buttons and B/W buttons.

    A Good tool is just that, it does not let you do what you want , but gives you what you need :)

  7. It would mean the end of life as we know it ? on How We Knew AL00667 Would Miss Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    Onlooker1: It would mean the end of life as we know it ?
    Scientist: No, but it might burn up a few cities and destory 70% of the humans ... but we don't really see a threat to the human species.
    Onlooker2: So I'd be dead ?
    Scientist: But the people left alive will have an excellent chance of survival due to the systematic culling of slashdot trolls .... not to mention rabid money hungry CEO types... along with a few cities as collateral damage.
    Onlooker1: Why did you keep it under the wraps ?
    Scientist: We were kinda hoping it would slag Sanford Wallace in location... and have the Pope claim it was divine intervention
    Onlooker3: What about SCO ?
    Scientist: Looks like the next one from Kuiper belt would do that clean

    PS: maybe you should read "God's Debris" to be frightened by Slashdot.

  8. Now you know where good statistics comes from on Study Recommends Gnumeric Over MS Excel · · Score: 1

    Like Douglas Adams said ... Bistromathics ... the only way to process "awful" numbers :)

  9. It's not Kerviza ? ... what happened to the 'K' on Learning CVS Using KDE's Cervisia · · Score: 0, Troll

    I would have thought that they would name it Kerviza or KommonCvs or something wierd :)

  10. human computers or cybronic humans ? on Nerve Cells Successfully Grown on Silicon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Will this make computers more human or otherwise ?.

    Maybe it's time to admit that nature does a better job bruteforcing (OK , what else do you call SEX and EVOLUTION) the secrets of this world than all our mathematical precision.. (E=MC2 ... Forty Two ... naah... doesn't work) ... Of course, nature did a better job making us humans than we would have achieved ... :)

  11. DotGNU on XBox (was :XBox rules!!) on Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hahahaa... DotGNU Tron on XBox ...
    It's still an x86 box :)

    There is a FreeBSD port IIRC ....
    Here's the OS X Darwin Port.
    Btw dotgnu.org has a screenshot of Winforms running on OS X .

  13. DotGNU ? on MS .net vs Mono, Open Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ever heard about DotGNU ?

  14. Re:What about GUIs on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 1

    QT# and GTK# work with Portable.Net ....

    And we have our very own X11# (*ugh*) ...

    Last but not least , we could create wx# ,
    but I'd rather be hacking the compiler ;-)

  15. Kparts ... if KDE can do it , why not us ? on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 1

    IF KDE could embed ActiveX components , what's stopping us ? But well we lose the "Portable" part of OCX .. We cannot just run it in OS X or Solaris then..

  16. Re:Hmmmm on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    >> Microsoft saying things like Lookie Here C# code is portable just like Java code !!

    They already built Rotor for that .... We're now
    plain mean competition ....

    Especially they cannot take new patents on this
    coz we hold prior art as on today !!

    When MS invented .NET, we have to replace it with
    DotGNU to prevent MS from doing a "Run this
    binary and trust us !" strategy

  17. C Compiler for DotGNU on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 1

    Hehe... We have a C compiler for DotGNU as well .. (just don't let the MS guys on our little secret ?)

  18. Re:DotGnu and Mono on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Someone care to explain... on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 1
    The Ximaain guys have written their C# compiler in C# ... So their code needed MS CSC to start out ... Now it just needs a working copy of the compiler to compile the compiler ....
    gcc worked the same way ... but everyone now has the gcc .. so it's not a problem .... All very confusing

    AND Pnet needs none of that !

  21. Re:Another Look on Portable.NET Now 100% Free Software · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yup they have copyrights but we are reproducing our implementation from ECMA spec (334 and 335) which are public

    So their copyrights don't matter as we're not using their code . Their patents can be contested as ECMA does not look lightly on submarine patents

    And we have GNu to support us !

  23. OS X and .NET == DotGNU on Microsoft .NET CLI · · Score: 1
    Hey .NET on OS X is not all MS 0wned..... we have our peice of sh*t as well ...

    It's called DotGNU ... It works in OS X ... not in older MacOSes.. And it's GPL'd. And it builds here as well.. (which is rare)
