  1. Hmm.. on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    So, we can use this on companies when we find they have violated GPL, right? Since GPL works off copyright? I see some vigilante style action comin' on..

  2. Re:OT: a related funny joke: on PPC 970 Powerbooks and Powermacs in Production? · · Score: 1

    Way to completely botch the joke.. it's not even that hard to get right.. I guess there's no minimum IQ requirement to post as AC.

  3. Re:The three axis of evil: SCO, SCO & SCO on Did SCO 'Borrow' Linux Code? · · Score: 1

    Adobe I can understand, but Unisys is just misunderstood.

  4. Re:I love my GBA SP on Game Boy Advance SP Sells 1.1 Million in U.S. · · Score: 1

    When you close the lid on the GBA SP, you can see the light leaking out the sides.

  5. Re:Pop quiz on Walmart to Push RFID · · Score: 1

    Can you name any items where the barcode is integrated in such a manner?

    Cans of soda. Books. Boxes of cereal. Bottles of vitamins. Magazines. Spiral bound notebooks.

    Pretty much anything where the package is also the product, which is a shitload of stuff.

    It's sentence.

    Don't pick on other people's writing skills unless you're prepared to have the same done to you. :)

  10. Re:So what's new? on ISS Discovers A Remote Hole In Sendmail · · Score: 1

    My gods told me, obviously.

  11. Re:So what's new? on ISS Discovers A Remote Hole In Sendmail · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Anyone that uses sendmail knows that it will never be bug-free + exploitless.

    Hate to break it to you, but ANY program of medium to large size will never be bug free and exploitless. It's the nature of complicated projects.

  12. Re:Prediction on Microsoft: 2003 and Beyond · · Score: 2, Funny

    But thanks again for pointing out the mistakes that I often make in the haste required to get the "FIT" (First Intelligent Post).

    Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but did you mean FIP? :)

    Microsoft will continue to implement proprietary standards.

    ...proprietary standards? :)

    Or, if I wasn't a dumbass, that would be speech to text.

    When TTS technology has near perfect recognition without need for training, is my guess.

    Hm, maybe with an Ask Slashdot feature. :)

    Too bad ./ doesn't let you know how many other posts are "in the queue" then you do it.

    You got the joke wrong.

    They get Halloween and Christmas confused, because 31 OCT is 25 DEC.

  21. Re:First post! on 3D Mark 2003 Sparks Controversy · · Score: 1

    Why do you care? Just let them do their thing.. who are they hurting? You make it sound like you have insecurity issues of your own.

  22. Re:what the.. on Turing Test 2: A Sense of Humor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Er, did you read the article? Funny thing about articles, they often have information very relevant to the corresponding Slashdot story! I know, it's hard to believe! I highly recommend reading one sometime.

    Since 1989 Loebner has spent, by his account, more than $200,000 and a thousand hours of unpaid time to hasten the arrival of intelligent machines. He has set aside a gold medal and $100,000 in cash for the creator of the first machine that can pass for human. In the meantime he gives out annual prizes for programs that come closest to a long-sought holy grail in the artificial intelligence community: passing the Turing test.

  23. Re:Hello on Root-server switches from BIND to NSD · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'd go for Chimera personally, I love Omniweb, but the standards support is about on par with Netscape 4.. I'd rather use browsers that don't hold back web development. Maybe OW5 will be good though.

    As no-one in the Slashdot edotrial team has apparently enabled Jaguar's built-in spelling service on their expensive Powerbooks, allow me to assist.

    Apparently they aren't the only ones..

  25. Hehe on Root-server switches from BIND to NSD · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well.. I guess they're not in a BIND anymore!
