  1. Re:That's my prof! on Physicists Finally Solve the Falling-Paper Problem · · Score: 0, Troll

    While I always admire university researches, I sure hope all these findings mount to something. On the contrary I still haven't found legit use for Calculus.

  2. Re:Should be obvious but... on Security Responsibility Without the Authority? · · Score: 1

    I know so many folks who worked at big network companies like Lucent, Nortel, Cisco. And from what they admit, there are infinite number of security holes everyday for every customer they provide service for. To get fired over a security hole, something catastrophic would have to take place!

  3. Re:Advice: Get lots of RAM on Experiences w/ Software RAID 5 Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    Stay away from hardware RAID at home that's my advice. Software RAID has the luxury of always being able to see the filesystem while you move data.

  4. Re:Hasn't Halloween passed its useful life? on Halloween Fun · · Score: 1

    If you go around wearing the Bill Gates mask asking for money instead of candy, Halloween might just have a new meaning.

  5. Re:Why not just.... on NASA Considering Early Retirement of Shuttle Program · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Everytime some shuttle explode is because some management guy hid some engineering specs so he can get a bigger paycheck when his engineers deliver the projects faster. Fire the management team! Outsource them to Mars!

  6. Re:the real story on Dept. of Homeland Security Enforces Expired Patent · · Score: 1

    Damn I thought the six sides rearranges to spell "SADDAM". You must be a cube guru to get 3 letters out of that many sides.

  7. Re:Microsoft Security Focus on Latest Ballmergram Bashes Linux TCO · · Score: 1

    The linux world should start advertising their software with the word "SECURE". We'll call it....

    Open Office Secure Edition

    Apache Secure Edition

    Firefox Secure Edition

    There is NO WAY in hell M$ marketing can successfully counter this.

  8. Re:Must...overcome...AOL...prejudice... on AOL Files First Spim Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    As long as AOL don't become another SCO, where they use lawyers to raise hell for profit.

  9. Re:A++ hacking on Grand Theftendo Homebrew port of GTA III to NES · · Score: 1

    ROFLMAO, this guy is good for sure. If he was doing this in the 80s, he would have started his own video game company and dominated NES with his home-brewing programming skills all by himself.

  10. Re:Try Instiki on Are we Headed for a Wiki World? · · Score: 1

    Yeah like "MICROSOFT" is not a laughable name. Just sounds like some limp pornstar. Any name including Wiki is respected if marketed correctly.

  11. Re:Privacy: West versus East on Blunkett Backs Down on UK ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Americans naturally have more privacy because they are more spread out.

    Population in Hong Kong is jam packed, which allows 1 camera spying on 1 spot and watch 400 people.

  12. Re:Better Working Conditions - More Stable Softwar on IBM First To Receive UNIX 2003 Certification · · Score: 1

    I would never ever blame any engineers for bad code. No American company takes any responsibility for putting engineers in a position to code properly. Schedules are always too tight, money and resource is always a joke.

    Western programmers and engineers have had to carry the load for management, HR and sales department in every company that came within 2 feet of me. I think the East is just starting to see the swing of things.

  13. Re:of course on Researcher Only High Bandwidth Network · · Score: 1

    There is a conspiracy that saids the U.S government might never let home broadband bandwidth exceeding X-number of bits per second for piracy reasons. I guess don't put these 10 gigabit toys in your christmas list anytime soon in the next decade or two.

  14. SGI and University on Open Source SpeedShop Project Opened · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anytime I hear a company is teaming up with any university to do any project, it just scares me.

    Too many times I hear of stories where students time and effort can't be capitalized. They work just end up counting toward school property.

  15. Roman Empire on India Outsourcers Find Back Door in Canada · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The Roman Empire failed because in too many places it required the senators / soldiers to be born in Rome along with other strict ethnic requirements.

    The US Empire must allow people who CAN do the job to do it. Otherwise it too will collapse.

  16. Re:A side thought on Interview With Lucas Gonze of Webjay · · Score: 1

    Screw BitTorrent. They need the ULTIMATE P2P application that can p2p from different p2p software. Kind of like Trillion can talk to ICQ, AOL, MSN, Yahoo etc.

  17. Re:Cheap shot... on If You Had To Vote Based On Candidates' Web Pages · · Score: 1

    Well from what I understand the U.S democrazy offer just 2 choices. That's republican / democrats and that's about 1 more than Iraq. Every year the ballot results reads the following. I am not making this stuff up.

    1.) Republican or Democrat

    2.) Ralph Nader

    3.) Mickey Mouse

    4.) Howard Stern

  18. Re:As I remember... on The Return of the Sun Workstation, With AMD's Help · · Score: 1

    If the real world was based on benchmarks, we'd be in alot of trouble. Last I check ATI Radeons offer Doom III with 40fps on a 2gig processor. Not in reality, it doesn't.

    Benchmarks for AMD are hyped equally as bad as Intel. I have known companies who bought 64bit Opteron and ran their own benchmarks. The results are always far from what these marketing websites propose. Basically...

    Marketed Speed - 35% of Marketed Speed = Real life performance

  19. Re:wait a minute... on Nintendo Threatens Suicidegirls Over IP Use · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nintendo is officially out of sync with reality and society in general.

    Every nintendo game that is not a 3rd party title is already a cross between pure fantasy and hardcore Sci-Fi. No Zelda is not real!

  20. Re:Pricing looks good on Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders · · Score: 1

    At 5MB/2MB, that has got to be near heaven in terms of playing any games online with virtually ZERO ping times.

  21. Re:or on SGI & NASA Build World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    If someone computed with a 30 teraflop box as to whether the Sox would win this year, I think every bit and byte would say hell no. Even I can't believe my eyes. Yankees need to buy one of these machines so they can better compute their return on finances next year.

  22. Re:Yeah, but... on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    I am very convinced most people who develop allergy over the years wore down their immune system from Detergent Residue on clothes.

    Afterwards, cats, dogs, fur, trees and everything else sip into your skin and you sneeze your brains out or have major hives breakout.

  23. Re:YES on Stanford Predicts The Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    I do hate both candidates. If there is a reason to vote for Bush, is that there is only 1 sector of the economy left for him to destroy "Real Estate".

    If he's president for 4 more years, I am sure the interest rates will stay low. But because the unemployment will be so severely high, every other person will be forced to move. Forcing a drop in Real Estate prices because everyone is moving out forcefully. Afterwards, we are back to affordable housing when everyone is scaling down.

  24. Re:I heard you on the wireless back in Two-OhOh-Fo on XM Portable Satellite Radio Receiver with Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    I'd been researching like crazy to see if there is a way to get XM service for free. I don't think there is anyway in hell possible. Any slashdotter is welcome to prove me wrong!

  25. Re:EQ2 si teh sux!! on Everquest 2 Premium Services Preview · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People play Everquest because it has something FEW games in the entire industry can brag about.

    It has a history of people dying, losing jobs, divorcing, suffering from insomnia, and emptying out bank accounts over.

    Any game that has this much addiction is worth people's time.
