  1. The original source of the story? on Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Did anybody else follow the links which point to the source of the article?

    The original slashdot story link
    http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/samsung_develo ps_machine_gun_sentry_robot_costs_200k.php

    which has a link to a story
    http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/sam sungs-200000-machine-gun-sentry-robot

    which in turn links to
    http://www.gorobotics.net/The-News/Military/South- Korea-Develops-Machine%11Gun-Sentry-Robot/

    that has a link to probably to the original story at
    http://www.metimes.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20060 928-042215-5882r
    by AFP

    The original doesn't have an image nor video but as story it's far better than the article (rip off) mentioned in slashdot story.

  2. The biggest issue on The Internet Black Hole That Is North Korea · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And the biggest issue here is the lack of internet access for citizens? That's really like no news. The internet hasn't been that long with us so how can you even think that it could be available in a such poor and controlled country. What you should be conserned about is their basic needs, food, healthcare, farming machinery etc. Of course internet, if it was available for them by some miracle, could help them break free from the crazy leader but still, that's like climbing to a tree backwards.

  3. Re:Shocking on Segway Recalling 23,000 Scooters · · Score: 1

    Yeah, $138m isn't very much money.

    No, it really isn't when you have to build an organization, pay sallaries, start production, actually produce those Segways, market them, storage them, shipp'em, etc..

    That would be a good way to ask but you should have witnesses when asking if she turns out to be a bitch and sues you.

  5. The Universe on Voyager 1 Passes 100 AU from the Sun · · Score: 1

    is about 14 billion light years or so wide. 15 billion kilometers = 0.00158553512 light years. Not very far when compared to astronomical distances but it's still nice.

    "linux-jkrise" search returned nothing and recompiling kernel isn't rocked science. That ain't wildy successfull open source project that needs to be lead somehow. And because there are more creators than one, you think Jani is not suitable for the task? wtf?

    Heh, I just about to write that hands up all of those who were ready to make test when they clicked on the link. So, yes, you're not the only one.

  11. Re:What? on FBI Agents Don't Have Email Access · · Score: 1

    > Indeed why should it cost extra money to assign e-mail addresses? For 2000 people?

    It might because then you'd have to provide computers so that agents could use'em to rea... Oh wait, you'd first have to teach'em to read - education costs.

  14. 6 weeks is not enough on Mark Shuttleworth Proposes Delaying next Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    It took about 5 months to discover <a href="http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03<nobr>/<wbr></wbr></nobr> 13/0525254">this</a> major and pretty simple bug in Breezy so will 6 weeks be enough for polishing Dapper?

    >Perhaps, but he also stated the cli was crippled.
    So? He was talking about different things.

    >> Your advice is way too complex for any regular user.
    > He said he wanted to be root, not a regular user.
    Regular as in average joe, not in as joe$. Most regular users run their own machines so they have to be root sometimes.

  17. Hmm on Personal vs. Work/Free Server? · · Score: 1

    Yes you are. Read the article. Informative my ass..

  20. Costs.. on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    ..so you savings which come from not buying MS Windows & Office are calculated but what about the costs which come from having to learn a new operating system and office suite? What about productivity?

    I used to use Debian unstable so that I'd have the latest and the greatest but then realized that I prefer stable over broken system, so I went ubuntu. Now I even have to wait for 6 months for new programs and I really don't mind as long as it works.

    Your comparison would only be true if English was a language for which you had to pay to use and it would tie you only using it.

  25. Re:GNU/Linux distributions vs. BSD operating syste on Korean MSN Site Hacked · · Score: 1

    Never the less, if you say that FreeBSD isn't a distro how can jaseuk's comparison on FreeBSD vs. RedHat and Debian be right. It should be compared to all Linux distrobutions. That's what I have been trying to say, jaseuk started comparing FreeBSD to specific Linux distrobutions when flithm talked about BSD vs. Linux.
