  1. Coming up next on Slashdot Book Reviews... on QBASIC Programming for Dummies · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Making your own Apple I keyboard in 21 days"

    "Changing Vacuum Tubes in your ENIAC for Dummies"

    "4004 Assembly Made Easy"

  2. Re:They aren't trying to scare IBM... on SCO Gives Friday Deadline To IBM · · Score: 1

    SCO has users?

  3. Re:Wow, Kettle meet Pot, Apple on Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark · · Score: 1

    They have also "threatened" to sue mfg'rs of toasters, PC accessories, and other computer mfg'rs for using pastel and bright color schemes on their products.

    Heh heh... Maybe they should sue Slashdot as well...

  4. Re:ZX-81 - Manuals really meant something on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1

    Not like a PC manual of today which tells you how to plug in the keyboard and monitor (the ZX-81 manual had this)

    I'd imagine you'd need a lot of guidance to figure out how to plug the keyboard into a ZX-81.

  5. Re:What Linux needs on IBM Launches Linux Desktop in India · · Score: 1

    ...anybody can cp & paste.

    As is perfectly exemplified by your double posting! :>

  6. Re:Halleluiah.... on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only real innovation in Xbox has been done "illegally" by modders

    You mean... Running i386 Linux on i386 hardware? Hooray for innovation!

  7. Re:SPAM is more enemy to net. on Death of Internet Predicted: Film at 11 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I assumed this is just because you have to pay for aol accounts.

    Um, I assume you've never seen any of those extremely rare "XXX hours free!" AOL trial CD's...

  8. Re:The description is very vague on Gentoo Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think GCC has support for that yet. I've tried it several times with different software, no luck.

  9. Re:Stupid argument on Unix-Haters Handbook Available Online · · Score: 1

    but you can't even change your window manager! (that would be explorer.exe

    LiteSTEP

  10. Re:mini ITX on NES PC · · Score: 1

    Midgets? How baroque! You mean "vertically challenged people!"

  11. Re:Windows Clients/hosts? on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    That would be Joseph Goebbels.

  12. Re:HDTV out on S3's DeltaChrome Examined · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Will anyone ever be able to provide a REAL alternative to Nvidia and ATI?

    A few years ago, you would probably have said the same things about 3Dfx and Matrox, or something. And before ATI released their Radeon, which wasn't long ago, most of their cards were rather cruddy. Card manufacturers come and go.

  13. Re:Pretty Cool on New Generation of Cases? · · Score: 1

    To prevent that they have the so-called "Protect belt", as shown in the Flash animation.

  14. Re:Shouldn't it be 'E'? on The D Language Progresses · · Score: 1

    After 'B', 'C', 'P' and 'L' comes '\0'.

  15. Re:Old hardware? on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think the only major Nintendo console not being produced in one form or another is the N64. What about the Virtual Boy? Tee hee.

  16. Re:Why Doom Sucks. on Doom Archive Reopened · · Score: 1

    It IS possible to complete Fallout without killing anyone. It's just not nearly the easiest way, but it goes to show that there are nearly infinite ways to complete the game.

  17. Re:uh on SACD-CD Hybrids -- A Way Out For Us Both? · · Score: 1

    Maybe Dolby 5.1 headphones would be overkill, but I wouldn't mind having two speakers behind me and two speakers in front, each playing different stuff. That's QUITE an improvement over stereo.

  18. Re:uh on SACD-CD Hybrids -- A Way Out For Us Both? · · Score: 1

    That's what they said when stereo audio was introduced. "Two speakers? Who would want TWO speakers anyway?"

  19. Re:30,000,000 Kazaa hosts on How to Own the Internet In Your Spare Time · · Score: 1

    I hope you don't actually think all 30,000,000 hosts are online at the same time?

  20. Re:I could do the world a favor... on How to Own the Internet In Your Spare Time · · Score: 1

    You mean, so the world has to wait even LONGER for pages to load because their browsers try contacting doubleclick.net for 30 seconds or so on every page with DC banners? Excellent idea!

  21. Re:If you want to order this new 3CDset: on OpenBSD 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Me too. But then I figured a silver crucifix (and a wooden stake, as in the right hand.. err.. fin of the fish) is the correct way of killing a vampire.

  22. Re:Well, golly. If only I COULD patch mine. on MSIE Uber-patch Of The Month · · Score: 1

    And define "fatally crashes". It's probably your poor excuse for a box, or some other pile of crap software you've installed that's caused IE to bomb out.

    Whatever program one installs, as long as it's not Internet Explorer Destructomatic, IE should not "bomb out."

  23. Re:GeForce 4 Ti4600? on Arprotek e-Cube/gBox Barebones Review · · Score: 1

    It's here and that's not even big. This is big.

  24. Re:Why all the negative comments about Caldera? on Love Says Caldera's Doing Fine, Despite Losses · · Score: 1

    They're not releasing the source for their proprietary stuff. Which makes them evil

  25. Re:pedantry.. but.. on The Stallman Factor · · Score: 1

    ...and then you assemble that code mith GNU as.
