  1. This is a Job Ad on Hot Rod Job For SpaceShipOne · · Score: 1

    SpaceShipOne has been modified to provide more thrust, for a longer amount of time.

    -Need engineer 24/7 willing to travel to repair the engine.

    -Pay rate $14 an hour US dollars. Contract to perm.

    -Will be reporting to 6 managers globally.

    -Time and a half pay on holidays.

    -No visas excepted.

  2. Too many Distros on Review of Yoper Linux v2.1 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Come on, everyone is constructing their own distro just to add more confusion to the linux name. We don't need 100 distros. Damn, we don't even need 10.

    We can settle for Debian, Suse and Redhat. Though I'd prefer seeing ALL distros unite (without SCO) and call it "Final Fantasy Linux".

  3. Re:Good, though already outdated on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 1

    Linux world has been begging for a visual basic .net port too. QT and visual QT seems overly complicated in comparison.

  4. Re:the bad one on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well if it's using "grep", then this has to be a unix virus.

  5. Giant Cock on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 4, Funny

    No no no. A gun would work in the 80s. Now criminals have stinger missiles and humvee mounted machine guns. You'll never outgun them.

    Just get a giant wobbling sculptured cock at your front step. Any criminal walking by will be reminded of Clockwork Orange, and they'll say "Cool" and walk away.

  6. Re:Yeah on Simplifying Linux Driver Installation · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know why people are marking the original poster flamebait. Even I am skeptical of drivers on demand. Last time I installed linux with a HBA with storage area network, it was the most work I have ever seen.

    1.) Download the driver
    2.) rpmbuild kernel source
    3.) update kernel to new kernel rpm to be compatible with driver
    4.) compile the .o using the source
    5.) insert .o as a module
    6.) modify lilo / grub
    7.) reboot and pray

    Now I don't know about you, but Hardware Abstraction layers probably work for some video game control pad driver. Unfortunately any real device needs serious attention in linux land.

  7. BUT... on UserLinux Releases First Beta · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    But there are only 2 legit version of linux for corporate use, Suse and redhat.

    Simply because they are the only linux distros with HBA drivers that can have it sit on a storage area network. Before you run any giant App, you need storage.

  8. Re:I was wondering when this would come up on John Carmack Retiring? · · Score: 1

    Retiring? Isn't he like in his upper 30s or lower 40s?

    And isn't he always in favor of Nvidia? Maybe ATI will win from here on.

  9. Jeopardy doesn't worry me on They Killed Ken! · · Score: 2, Funny

    I swear there is a conspiracy going around making Americans look stupid.

    We aired Baywatch. A show about a beach full of drama, where millions of people drown everyday at the same beach.

    We aired Southpark. Enough said.

    We aired who wants to be a millionaire. The contestants are absolutely no comparison to Jeopardy contestants.

    We aired A-Team. No one can hit a target from 5 feet even though they were all vietnam vets.

  10. Re:Whatever on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's at the filesystem level. I think they mean at the device driver level.

  11. Re:Digital Zoom is a MYTH! on Sony Develops TVs That Zoom in for True Close-ups · · Score: 1

    Well it's actually 3D digital zoom. Not only can you see the faces closer, but most movies allow a complete 360 degree head rotation. Not to mention every police station database has all the criminal's info like full names and addresses. Yet they can never arrest them.

  12. Re:One hour in 56 seconds on DVD / Hard Drive Recorder With 28-Day Capacity · · Score: 1

    I don't know.... it's like someone marketing the water bottle being able to hold 12 gallons, when it's clearly a 1 gallon bottle.

  13. Re:seems like... on Robot Eats Flies to Generate Power · · Score: 1

    No no no. The sequence have to go... Robot eat

    flies

    dirt

    shit

    corpse

    human

    other robot

  14. Re:Return of Internet Keywords? on New Google Toolbar Brings Browse By Name · · Score: 1

    Isn't the concept of AOL keywords more or less the same as MetaTag? With the exception that the keyword must be unique within the AOL database?

  15. Re:I want to see... on WinFS' Spot on Back Burner Nothing New · · Score: 1

    Why not just have DOS classic. It'll be the exact same thing as before, except M$ will market the hell out of it. They'll call it

    Windows Ascii Edition

    Digital Operation System

    Windows Commands Edition

    Windows Secured Studio

  16. Re:High performance Q3/D3 graphics engine on Quake2 Engine In Java · · Score: 0, Troll

    High performance java... that's like saying fast Geo metro.

  17. Greatest Conspiracy on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    If you read the book "70 Greatest conspiracy of all time" there was a chapter about the initial gulf war. That despite Saddam being the opposing side, there was actually a financial transaction from Bush senior account to Saddam's. Now before the FBI show up at my frontdoor... how much is Bush junior paying Michael Moore.

  18. Re:people still have those things? on When Emulation Isn't Enough · · Score: 1

    Pff.... NES systems didn't work in the 80s, why would they work now. Coming from Japan, the country with the highest quality of engineering in the world, NES is considered a financial success but engineering disaster. How many times did people blow into the cartridge slots just 1 year after system purchase. The flashing white screen was an eye killer.

  19. Reinstating the Draft on Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2003-2004 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Heh, god knows how many Bush wannabes say the Bill was dead. The National Act was pretty damn close to reinstating it IMHO. Someone will scream out "No it wasn't". The saddest part is Kerry will do no different. All a part of conspiracy 101... population control. Whoo wheee.

  20. Umm... on The Video Game Revolution · · Score: 1

    So it's a show about pacman and how games transitioned from mario to grand theft auto.

    No matter how the stories are presented, there is probably not much that gamers don't already know.

  21. Re:solutions to health problems... on Stress Costs U.S. $300 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    I don't know why Americans complain about stress. Go to some third world countries and see how the sweat shops work, and I guarantee there are few American job conditions that even compare.

    Many still use punch cards like systems, and wages are subtracted by the minute for every second they become unproductive. Americans do work many hours, but they remind me of the olympic US basketball team. By world standard, they have the best skills, but they are lazy and downright spoiled and whiny.

  22. Don't piss Mark Cuban off on Three Minutes With Mark Cuban · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you can't tell already this is like the 4th article on slashdot about Mark Cuban. His cash has already invaded the slashdot space.

    Don't piss him off or he'll pay the modders to put you at "-5 troll for eternity."

  23. Forget the math for a second on SETI Finds Interesting Signal · · Score: 1

    What prevents someone from hacking into a Seti network packet and make it seem like the signal meant something?!

  24. Re:Helllooooooo Curse!! on Secret Chamber In The Great Pyramid? · · Score: 1

    The curse would be if the Robot ran windows and somehow came back with a virus that no anti-virus can quarantine. So let's hope the robot runs linux.

  25. HolyShit on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    I am not a mac fan, and even I have to admit that's the most insane looking computer I have ever seen in my life.
