    The slashdot1234/slashdot1234 trick doesn't work anymore.... someone must've changed the password.

  2. Oh yeah??? on Wicked Cool Shell Scripts · · Score: 0

    Well, I wrote a script that writes customized scripts to do just what you guys said. And I wrote the entire thing using only mind bullets!

  3. Re:TIPS FOR ARGUING FOREVERYONE on 'Operation Cyber Sweep' Nets 125 Arrests · · Score: 0

    Did anyone else notice that he used the first 6 prime numbers for numbering his list? Damn, I feel like a geek now

    Isn't 1 also prime? If he used the first 6 prime numbers he would've started with 1.

    Anyway, the original poster also posted in all prime number. 4 and 6 are actually prime, they're just embarassed about being prime and repress their primeness very well.

  4. Re:Time for plan C on Lunar Polar Ice Not Present · · Score: 0

    Which is why the post read sealed as in closed, and not isolated.

    Uhhh, no, the Earth is not a closed system... Haven't you ever listen't to MC HAWKING?

    Are you down with entropy?

    "...creationists always try to use the second law to disprove evolution but their theory has a flaw. The second law is quite precies about where it applies, only in a closed system must the entropy count rise. The earth is not a closed system it is powered by the sun, so fuck the damn creationists doomsday get my gun..."

  5. No... on The Art of Unix Programming · · Score: 0

    Nope, you can read the book, there is nothing wrong with that. However, if you read the comments....

  6. I for one... on Realtime Concert Program Notes on a PDA · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I for one welcome the new PDA overlords.

    First Post!

  7. EASY! on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 0

    Just buy them an SCO license, afterall if they're geeky they're already using the stolen code, errr, I mean comments!

  8. I've used mplayer on and off for a while now.... on Mplayer Revisited · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've used mplayer on and off for a while now, and it is the preferred media player in linux for me... are there any other alternatives out there that are as easy to use and accept as many file types?

  9. Good :-) on Arcade ROMs for Download, Legally · · Score: 1

    There is a want out there, and someone finally realised it and looks like they will be able to make it legal and profitable. Good job guys

  10. Have to say it.... on Major Problems with Cingular Network · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Russia, the phone network knocks out you!

  11. Re:Why do teens have guns? on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 0

    No, there are much worese things that people can do without guns than shoot people with water pistols... Guns are not the problem. That's just like blaming the video game makers. The parents and the up-bringing of the children are the problem. I grew up around guns and video games. I had access to guns when I was young, but I knew better than to mess with them without an adult around.

  12. Re:A Democrat Problem on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: -1, Troll

    Please consider this before you automatically support the Democrats next time. Some of us would really like these types of lawsuits to stop. Yeah, and some of us would like to have our economy back to what it was before bush got in and fucked things up good. Republicans have never done anything good for the middle class man.

  13. How many times does it have to be said??? on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 0

    Anyone that would go out and do something this stupid had something way wrong with them before they ever played the game. I grew up around guns and video games and I've yet to go out on a shooting rampage such as this.

    It's not the games!

    When are people going to step up to the plate and take responsibility for their own actions. It seems like everytime something happens, instead of going after who is at fault, the people look for who has the deepest pockets and somehow manage to misplace the blame onto them.

  14. SPAM! on Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed · · Score: 0

    Give them the slashdot effect and spam them to hell!

  19. Re:Why isn't the Earth a PM machine? on The Museum of Unworkable Devices · · Score: 0

    Earth will eventually be enveloped by the sun. The travel around the sun seems to stay constant, but we are always getting just a little bit closer to it.

  20. Uhh... Human clones have been around for a while.. on First Human Clone Born? · · Score: 0

    Anyone ever heard of identical twins?

  21. I've got it! on Computer Attack and Defense As Spectator Sport · · Score: 0

    If the competition is to just make the other team's server worthless... Just post a story on slashdot as "New linux kernel!" and point the link the their box....

    If that story doesn't work, just pull a headline from slashdot, and resubmit it... They'll never suspect a dupe, and the box gets hosed!

  22. Re:usb fixes? on Linux Kernel 2.4.20 Released · · Score: 0

    Can you please post portions of your .config???

    I put my .config from my 2.4.17 kernel in the new 2.4.20 directory... Checked everything, it looked alright.... Same exact setup as my previous kernel.... But USB doesn't work

    It even detects my USB mouse etc... but if I do a cat /dev/input/mice and move the mouse, it doesn't have anything.... So it's like it is finding it, but is never getting mapped out to /dev/input/mice

    Thanks in advance :-)

  23. Re:Salamander on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 0

    Salamanders are NOT lizards! They are amphibians. Urodels to be more specific.

    Anyway, if you want to go with a name like that, why not go with Plethodon, or Desmognathus (salamaner genera).

    Personally, I think Heloderma (genus which contains the Gila Monster and the Beaded Lizards, the only two venomous lizards in the world) would sound neat :-)

    Heloderma, just has a nice ring to it.

    I guess I'm kinda weird with the way I name things... afterall, one of the gators I work with is named Phideaux (way of spelling "Fido").

  24. More powerful than who's brain??? on IBM Working on Brain-Rivaling Computer · · Score: 0

    What human brain are they talking about, and what did they use to measure the processing power?

    Obligatory slashdot remarks:
    But man, just think... Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these?????

    1) measure processing power of human brain
    2) Build $184M super computer
    3) ???
    4) PROFIT!

  25. I'll go for it! on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 0

    I mean, if radio waves don't cause brain cancer, maybe nuclear power sources will!

    And for the laptop... Yeah, I want a neclear power plant next to my nuts... I mean, who doesn't want a kid with 18 arms????
