  1. Let's do it! on HP Uses DMCA To Quash Vulnerability Publication · · Score: 0

    "Does that mean we should ban guns since they are a possible copyright protection circumvention device?"

    That's a great idea! Wow, you should be a senator!

  2. Re:What is wrong with SDL & Full screen games on Cube: A Modern 3D Game Engine · · Score: 0

    xinit -e cube -- :1 (from another tty) Just use ctrl-alt-f[78] to switch. Another advantage of X is that it multitasks well and support multiple virtual displays!

  3. Word format? on The Open Source Cookbook? · · Score: 0

    How can it be released in word format? As an open source endevour, it really should be released in RTF instead. PS: I know i can't spell...

  4. Slashdot /.ed! on Easter Eggs in Web Sites? · · Score: 0

    Due to the massive amounts of traffic to that server, it appears that slashdot got /.ed! Hopefully it will be back up soon...

    Sure helps the spammers-nice job obfuscating that.

    I've always associated slashdot with stability and relyability.
    And good spelling!
  7. Convection-not just up on Giant Firefighting Blimp · · Score: 0

    A fire wouldn't just generate an updraft, but would cause air from all around to flow towards the fire to feed the updraft. Controlling an airship around a fire sounds like hell. I'll wait until there are some full-scale trials before i get my hopes up.

  8. Re:How did he do that?! on Fake Light Sabers Making Real Cash · · Score: 0

    Well, if you read the article you will find out that he machines these from solid pieces of metal, not assembles them like the SW props people do/did. Also, he designs his own instead of replicating the ones that appear in SW.

  9. Re:What? on Moshe Bar on Programming, Society, and Religion · · Score: 0

    Yes, the risk of violating the commandment "Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain" is great enough that His name is never spoken or written in full.

  10. Re:congradulations... on ReplayTV Users Sue Hollywood · · Score: 0

    The Truman Show was funded entirely through product placement, but it was driven by the fact that billions of people wanted to tune in anyway. Nowadays there isn't nearly that much demand.

    the standard, because 99% of the web uses it. A lot of people have a hard time with this, but it's true. It's not how it should be, but it's how it is.

    Fantasize, fantasize.

  16. Re:Crackers? on X-45 Makes Debut Flight · · Score: 0

    a DOS-style attack would be almost as devastating, as it would render the play immobile and might make it crash. $10-15 million isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things, but to lose it over a cheap transmitter would really be a bad thing.

  17. Re:You just don't get it do you on The Computer and the Skateboard · · Score: 0

  18. Re:Ouch! on Do-it-yourself CPU Water Cooler · · Score: 0

    Well, you'd want a water cooler for yourself first. Of course, you'd have to buy that one commercially which would kind of defeat the purpose...

    The air force obviously tests vision rigerously before allowing potential pilots to fly. A person with a visual handicap should NOT be flying a F-16.

  23. Think Douglas adams on Humans Will Sail To The Stars · · Score: 1

    This happened in Douglas Adam's book(s) "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy". Two civilizations light-years away would declare war on one another, and send fleets of warships at the other's planet. A short time later a faster ship would be sent and overtake the slower ones. The faster ships would battle, and the slow ships then arrive several years later. This proved quite bizzare as the antiquated ships would either encounter technology much greater than theirs, or a people totally oblivious to the fact that they were at war.
