  1. Re:Not a problem... on Boeing Scraps In-flight Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Now just be careful and do not confuse the laptop for a pillow or a blanket, as a pillow you're prone to break the screen, and if you use it as a blanket, if it's a newer model it CAN keep you warm, but it might be a Dell and set you suddenly on fire.

    Hmmm maybe that's really why they've been banned from flights?

  2. Re:Mining Wikipedia and other online reference sit on OpenCyc 1.0 Stutters Out of the Gates · · Score: 1

    And at the same time, the informality and errors in the data might introduce a human factor on the engine.

  3. Re:Wal-Mart wouldn't print my General Ackbar! on Your Digital Photos Are Too Professional · · Score: 1

    Huh? are we in fark? I tought this was slashdot..

    Wait...

    It IS slashdot... what the...??

  4. It's not so hot... on Pure JavaScript Unix-Like Web Based OS · · Score: 1

    The shell manager has no tab autocompletion.

    Porting bash anyone?

  5. Not only in Russia on Russian Firm Pays to Infect PCs with Adware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Recently I was contacted by a friend of mine in the United States who wanted to hire me as a programmer to develope an email borne virus with a certain advertisement payload for one of his clients.

    I graciously declined the offer.

  6. Re:Q: on Dissidents Seeking Anonymous Web Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Q:What's the difference between a dissident and a terrorist?

    A:Terrorists commit criminal acts to further their agenda.

  7. Re:SCO and Godwin's law on PlayStation Sales Halted? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think it's time to invent Godwin's law part II, "any conversation held long enought in Slashdot will inevitably end with someone comparing the whole matter to SCO or Microsoft, and it will mark the end of the conversation for reasonable people"

  8. Re:Hungry? on Adding Pizazz to Your RAM · · Score: 1

    Easy, if you use the laptop carry box disguissed as a pizza box, it will be very easy to make a mistake and add pizza to your ram (and the rest of the system too)

  9. Re:Not all that bad.... on Getting Help Building Your Computer · · Score: 1

    I am sure the last pc you put together has lasted a loong loong way, or else you'd know motherboards have been practically jumperless for a long time now (except for the old clear cmos jumper and intel's mania to disable bios programming via jumpers)

    Lol

    Btw in modern computers if you want to set clock rate you have to rig your cpu to overclock it, and bus rate is of limits now. :)

  10. Re:I really don't get the big deal. on OSNews on the LinuxWorld Exhibition Floor · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's more than just parsing, when you work with XML you work both with a totally flexible data storage system and at the same time you work with a data storage system with a common well defined basic structure. The advantage of this? Portability, with a common base structure you can exchange data between applications based on XML data storage with veyr much ease as long as theyr use is similar, and some dissimillar applications would be able to share data too whereas before it was a tedious and long task to archieve so.

    That is the real beauty of XML, portability from one source to another. Wich is also helped and aided by it being both an Open standard and a Human readable way of storing data.

  11. Re:AOL+RIAA - 2 Birds, 1 Stone on When Spun Really Fast, CDs Explode · · Score: 1

    But think it over, with CDs you can create big solar mirrors with any kind of concave surface you can glue them to, then you can use the mirrors to generate electricity or fry your neighbor's dog.

  12. Merchandability anyone? on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    How about books on merchandability, and looking for one's audience and it's needs and tastes and applying plans for succesfull comercialization in a software enviroment? I don't mean more of these "why everybody says open source will fail" that turns my stomach inside out each time I see on slashdot or similar... I mean more like "why BeOs died and windows and linux survive?" "why did adobe succeed with pdf and possible competitors didn't?" "how did the gnome people gain it's way into Solaris ahead of all other options?"

    That kind of stuff.

  13. Slipknot on Slashback: SmoothWall, Gopher, Be · · Score: 1

    Woot..? did none of you guys ever used slipknot? please tell me I'm not the only one who used that project, it was hard, buggy but great.... slipknot used lynx, wget (or something similar I think) and rz (zmodem) to enable you to navigate www graphically from a windows (I think they had an X tree too) using a dialup without slip or ppp :)

    Ps. Don't try and search for slipknot today all you'll get are page on a musical group, if anybody finds a link please oh share it.
