  1. Re:What's wrong about the video game industry on What is Wrong With Game Development? · · Score: 1

    Grand Theft Auto 3

    It represents the first major game in a new generation of games.

  2. Re:culture comentary on Cyberbees Score MIT Prize · · Score: 1

    If the winner is black, you can point out that he is black and get away with it. If he is white and you point it out you are racist.

  3. Good and bad on Dell CIO Says "Unix is Dead" · · Score: 1

    Rad Hat said that it was going to set out to conquer Unix as a server platform. After that it may look at the desktop.

  4. Re:where can i sign up for longhorn? on Longhorn M4 Build Review · · Score: 1

    You can't, or at least not for a while. When it is made available Microsoft will announce signups or you could get a TechNet subscription.

  5. Re:Karma Whore [n/t] on XFree86 4.3.0 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    'He' implies male in gender, but not to say it isn't statistically most likely the case. And 'they' does not always imply plural. In fact, it is often used in circumstances where gender is not known.

    Person one "who was just here, I saw someone run through the lawn"
    Person two "Who ever it was they left the door open"

    Why is this +5 Funny, how lame.

  8. Re:What's worse... on A Music Industry Case Study · · Score: 1

    It is? I think body piercing is trashy. I'm glad it's around though. It's like wearing a big "I'm trashy" stamp on the forehead. Saves time.

  9. Re:Their trying on Mandrake Linux... Not Dead Yet? · · Score: 1

    And don't forget Sun

  10. Re:Kinda expensive on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 1

    Good point, I was thinking the same thing. But I believe the C3 also runs with very little power and runs very cool. Take the heat sync of any Athlon processor and you will see smoke in under 5 seconds (I've done it). You can air cool a C3. Low end ultralight notebooks are the market that via needs to be in.

  11. Re:Like asking telephone companies to block on Pennsylvania Court Forces ISPs to Block Porn Sites · · Score: 1

    A couple (bad) methods of blocking it are.

    Block it at the proxy server, set up the routers to route all http traffic through proxy. cisco/cacheflow can do this with a couple simple commands.

    Block direct IP addresses with the cisco access list. i.e
    deny ip 66.35.250.0 0.0.0.255 any

    Buy one huge firewall (i.e. China) and route all traffic through one location.

    or (best method) just permit only msnbc.com, cnn.com, and disney.con followed by a "deny any any all"

    Anyone know a something more practical? Will all PA ISP's get stuck with cost of proprietary stuff? Maybe they will have to charge more for internet in PA because of the additional equipment required.

  12. Re:Nothing's so good... on MS Youth-Culture App Gets Gushy Advance Reviews · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's called the .NET framework.

  13. Re:the dumb answer... on Buying a Small, Light Linux Notebook Computer? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can get a new Apple with Yellow Dog Linux preinstalled.

  14. Re:performance on Buying a Small, Light Linux Notebook Computer? · · Score: 1

    I think I'm going to put Jedi on my next set of dog tags.

  15. Re:Patriot Act on The Making of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    You were a Lt. Colonel? I doubt it. I know enough Colonels to know you are not the type.

  16. Re:Patriot Act on The Making of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    Slashdot reviews one book I have read and they pick this on?

    Not to mention download managers.

  18. Re:PASV mode still opens a separate data connectio on FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Thank you Mr. AC and well said. Someone please mod this to something that doesn't suck to help eliminate the blind confusion that is Slashdot trying to figure out what FTP is.

  19. Re:Http/Ftp which is slower? on FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    FTP uses UDP and gets modded "Score:3, Informative"? I though this was a technical news site.

    I forgot hte exact number of available addresses with IPv6 but it's something crazy like 200 available addresses for every sqare foot on the planet.

    I guess I don't get dirty enough here in my parents basement to need a a washing machine anyway...

  24. Re:Solaris is better than Linux. on Sun Releases Solaris 9 for Intel · · Score: 1

    Because it's a complete product. It feels like a commercial product. Using Linux feels like testing a beta product. Solaris also feels _much_ more stable. I have solaris 8, mandrake 8.2, and a windows 2000 workstation I use at work.
