  1. Re:Just follow the physics diet. on The Mathematics of Obesity · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link.
    I have a huge interest in weight loss, mainly because I used to be a bit overweight, (although never really "fat") and have struggled to keep my weight under control ever since I started trying to.

    In fact, I've published an app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cachapa.libra) based on the Hacker's diet: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet

    If you haven't done so, I really recommend you read it. If you have, then I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how it compares with the link you posted.

  2. Re:Dear God on Microsoft Kills Skype For Asterisk · · Score: 2

    Exactly why I'm very worried about this. Here's my prediction just in case it really happens, so I can link yo it and appear to be a keen industry analyst: over the next year MS will start changing Skype's protocol, until it's incompatible with current software. The Windows version will (of course) always be up to date while other platforms will lag behind, according to their userbase: macos will be fine, android and ios a bit less so, and Linux will simply be forgotten. This will enable them to slowly kill competition without scaring the userbase into adopting an alternative. Fortunately Google talk now works on more devices with voice, so there might be a decent alternative in the near future.

    WTF!!!
    Thanks, man!

  4. Re:The EC will love the iPhone on Does the UK iPhone Plan Add Up? · · Score: 1

    I don't think there will be a problem with the O2 lock-in, as most mobile phones in Europe are already sold with carrier lock.

    I do hope that the EC will intervine, tough I seriously doubt it.

    I'm still waiting for an answer to my complaint about regional lock-in in consoles and dvds (at least a "forget it, dude" would have been nice).

  5. Re:A very tough task on Microsoft Plans An Overhaul For Patch System · · Score: 1
    Right. And every time Microsoft talks about distributing more stuff with Windows, the FTC starts talking about lawsuits and antitrust.

    Right, but the difference is the software RedHat is distributing isn't theirs; it can be removed without breaking your system; and in some cases there's even competing packages (Gnome/KDE, Mozilla/Galleon/Konqueror) available to the user.

    Besides, RedHat doesn't have the responsability of being a monopolly.

  6. Re:1.8 GHz per second on PPC 970 Confirmed for Apple? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually that would be
    1.8 Billion instructions /sec/sec
    or 1.8 Billion instructions.

    Use them wisely ;)

  7. Why he came to slashdot on Just One Page a Day · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think he was just watching all his volunteers working on one page a day and thought:
    "Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!"

  8. Re:Openbrick Off The Wall on Tiny Boxen · · Score: 1

    If they are, then I'm impressed.
    From the bottom of their website:
    "We are currently being slashdotted. Due to stupid Apache settings on our side, performance has been very low. We appologize for the inconvenience. We have now allocated 300 processes to Apache in order to provide faster access"

    And yep, the site's zooming right now

  9. Correction... on Wardriving From 1500ft Up · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Then it should be warflying

  10. Re:cambridge pot was the first on Coffepot Computer · · Score: 1

    You were lucky. When i first got on the internet, i made a search for dogs and well... Let's just say i now know more about dogs than i ever wanted to.

  11. Re:New Slogan! on OpenSSH Vulnerability Disclosed, Version 3.4 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's better than the alternative:
    "5 hours without remote holes in the default install"

  12. Handspring on Palm m100s - A Pattern of Defects? · · Score: 1

    Have you thought about the Handspring? It's almost the same as the Palm, for about the same price and it's even pretier IMO. Sony also makes palmtops with PalmOS, but they're a lot more expensive.
