  1. Re:Why were there so many negros in The Matrix? on Java Performance Urban Legends · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's spelled "negroes" dumbass

  2. "Laid" some people? on Telemarketer Blows Whistle on Tape-Altering Scam · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Seems like the ones not getting layed would be the ones to blow the whistle

  3. The phone number is listed in the letter on The End of the Free PCI Device List (Update) · · Score: 1

    Call them up and let them know what you think.

  4. In Soviet Russia, the hot sulfurous pitch had you! on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    Bluh blah blah blah

  5. Re:Garbage collection on Ask Larry Wall · · Score: 1

    Ref counting works if you don't use circular references. Ergo, don't use circular references without contemplating the consequences. This is really not hard.

    Java has garbage collection, yet is a big fat memory pig, except for the embedded compiler which uses mark and sweep.

    Yeah, I know. You run Lisp on your mach kernel box and it's fast even though the syntax makes perl look clean.

  6. CDPD is unbearably slow on Wireless Net on the Zaurus · · Score: 1

    CDPD is slow, expensive, lossy, and otherwise sucks ass. Just say no.

  7. Lean mean perl? on Ask Larry Wall · · Score: 1

    A while back a subset of java was ported to embedded processors. Instead of being its typical bloated and slow self (if garbage collection is so great why is java normally such a memory pig?) it's lean, mean, fast, and compact.

    Have you ever considered such an implementation for perl? It would be very cool to be able to write very high performance compilable programs in pure perl, even if one only had access to a subset of the syntactical language features.

    The 'Inline' module makes C much easier, but that's not quite the same thing. One problem that it doesn't solve, for instance, is that C isn't
    portable, where Perl is very portable. perlcc is interesting, but isn't really the same thing.

  8. Non-issue on WiFi, Light Bulbs, And The FCC · · Score: 1

    Put a thin wire mesh over the bulb during manucaturing. This will act as a faraday cage blocking all 2.4ghx radiation. 2.4ghz is microwave frequency. Every burned your eyes looking at a microwave oven? No? Maybe blocking 2.4Ghz isn't that hard after all.

  9. Slashdot is not Freshmeat on Linux Development Kernel 2.5.18 Released · · Score: 1

    Unless there is e.g. a security issue, all these articles do is increase the s/n ratio.
