  2. Re:What is going to run on these computers? on Quantum Computing Breakthrough in Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    we'll have to say goodbye to https, ssh, pgp, etc.

    No more etc!? Where will we put all our configuration files?

  3. Re:Not snow white anymore... on Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor · · Score: 1

    Don't know what you mean. It looks just like the one I'm holding. (original white dual usb 500)

    White on top and bottom, Silver (Magnesium frame) around the middle.

  4. Re:Powerbook premium--fan? on Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor · · Score: 3, Informative

    All iBook (dual usb) have a fan. Take it apart and look. Normally can't hear it though.

    Woohoo, found one.

    "She was slim, darkish, humanoid, with long waves of black hair, a full mouth, an odd little knob of a nose and ridiculously brown eyes. ...she looked vaguely Arabic."

    Not blonde.

  7. Re:2.6 and Longhorn on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test6 Released · · Score: 1

    OK, you clearly don't know what you are talking about. More and more stuff is coming OUT of Kernel mode because they were tired of Blue Screen problems. Graphic drivers are were the biggest source of these in my experience. Can you point to even One thing that has gone into Kernel mode?

  8. Re:X++ on Y: A Successor to the X Window System · · Score: 1

    No, the successor to C is D

  9. Re:Since dust can be a problem on More on BTX Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Aren't there air cleaners that work on electrostatic principles? So maybe there's a market for electrostatic PC air filtration systems with high air flow. What would that take to set up? What kind of power are we talking about here?

  10. Re:I'm as stumped as my girlfriend usually is on Telstar 4 is Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    You forgot "Where shall we have lunch?"

    They were just trying to be hip.

  12. Are you kidding!? on LavaRnd: A Open Source Project for Truly Random Numbers · · Score: 1

    You'd get ONE number followed by endless arguments about it, including offtopic posts and all the other crap.

    A better way would be to sample the actual post number of all the attempted First Posts. At least it'd almost never be 1.

  13. Re:Maybe it's time for splitting up arches on Linux 2.6.0-test3 Released · · Score: 1

    Uhh, that's why they make patches available.

  14. Re:Mac OS X Mail on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    The Panther preview has a new Mail.app that does this. The preview pane says "This message contains unloaded images" and there is a Load Images button. Works well for me.

  15. Re:just another example... on PKWare Files a Patent Application for Secure .zip · · Score: 1

    Yes, it started that way. But little by little they replaced any need to shell out to PKZIP/PKUNZIP and wrote their own library code.

    This was necessary to support long file names at least.

  16. Re:sweet on DVD Player With DVI Output · · Score: 3, Funny

    Go there and pick it up in person. :) That'll show 'em.

  17. Re:Damn hollywood on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, I had the same reaction. That was one horribly, depressingly BAD movie. Made me want to move into a bomb shelter for the rest of my life just to avoid the possibility of ever seeing it again.

  18. Re:intelligent? on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is smart enough to avoid capture at least. They programmed it to avoid obstacles; like people with nets.

  19. Re:Evolution not for everybody on Ximian Evolution's New Clothes · · Score: 1

    "One should not believe in an ism. Ism's in my opinion are not good. I quote John Lennon:
    I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.
    I good point there. After all, he was the Walrus.

    I could be the Walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off of people." - F.B.

  20. Actually... on Linux v2.6 Begins Testing · · Score: 1

    There's a project looking at moving _everything_ disk/disc related under the SCSI layer. Supposedly it streamlines quite a lot of things. Read the latest Kernel Traffic if you're interested. Not ready for Prime Time yet, but looking for testers it seems.

  21. Re:Sorry on Linux v2.6 Begins Testing · · Score: 2, Funny

    How long has 2.6.0 been out again...? :)

    Well, since the news has hit /., at least a week or two I'd guess.

  22. Re:one reson why on Online Voting In 2004 To Require Windows · · Score: 1

    "Think Different" is all well and good, but right now, I'd settle for just "Think".

    But Think is IBM's slogan.

  23. Re:The Fast User Switching I Want to See... on Apple Tries to Patent Fast User Switching · · Score: 1

    What, specifically, makes any chip a 'Server Chip' in your mind?

    Man, I can't wait for T4.

    Why? Because T3 Sucked so Bad!?

  25. Re:Quite an insightful paper on Disk Drives Explained · · Score: 1

    Assuming that was sarcasm...there is a class of USB device called USB Storage. As long as the 'drive' adheres to that class most OS USB stacks will support it without the need for device specific drivers. Linux supports this under the SCSI emulation layer so the drives show up as SCSI drives.
