  1. Re:Speaking as a Military brat on Governmental ID System in Japan · · Score: 2

    Actually, given the current state of alert in the military, most bases are requiring 100% ID checks at the front gate, for civilians AND military... so if they live on base, any time he wants to leave to go shopping, out to eat, whatever, he'll have to show his ID.

    Sucks and stuff.

    psst, he didn't enlist. He's either the offspring, or the wife of a military member.

    Nah, the criminal gene is found more often in CFO's of large companies.

    This is what you want...

    Linuxcare Bootable Toolbox

    It will fit on one of those oddly cut business card sized CDs, so will of course fit on a 3 inch CD. Enjoy!

  7. The domain name I wish I had thought of... on Boulevard of Broken .dreams · · Score: 2
    Allyourbasearebelongto.us. If I had that, it would keep most people away from my site, unless they had half a clue about internet culture (is that an oxymoron?)

    I wonder if Barrysbistro.com is taken? I should buy the name and put my pr0n on it... Hmmm

  9. Re:moot strategy on High Definition DVD · · Score: 2

    As long as theatres are using the pancake platter system, movies can't go over 3 and a half hours and still be shown in the majority of theatres. The old ones that use 2 reels, and the brand new ones that use digital will have no problem... but all the rest will. This is a Bad Thing(tm) for studios, so they will have to limit movies to 3.5 hours at a time for now, for purely physical reasons. Any more than that, and the film falls off the platter and onto the floor of the booth. Whoops.

    "Dear Slashdot Readers,

    Thank you for your interest in the Information Technology field. I assure you I have read your questions, and will answer them sometime in the next 12 years that I'm in office. Of course, I'll never mail them back to you, because I'm a sadistic who doesn't have a clue about all this computer mumbo-jumbo. My intern knows all about them though, maybe I'll have her answer all the questions.

    Remember to reelect me,
    Congressman Soandso"

  14. Re:Richard supports the DMCA on U.S. Computer Security Advisor Encourages Hackers · · Score: 1

    Well, that explains the Microsoft thing from Feb or March (forget which).. when they said they were spending a month looking for security holes, nobody could actually do anything because they weren't security "specialists".

  16. Re:PS/2 vs. USB on USB KVMs Compared · · Score: 2

    Actually, USB mice do take advantage of the extra bandwidth they're given. They send updates to the machine twice as often as the older style PS/2... this is a Good Thing(tm) when playing FPSs and such.

    As for the keyboard... I dunno, you'd have to type pretty darn fast to notice a difference. (:

    If you need a broadband adaptor, look above the second tile on your left when you go to work tomorrow. It should have a Dreamcast attached, too. Enjoy your new dev platform! (:

  22. Re:Godel, Bach, Escher on Escher and Elliptic Curves · · Score: 1

    Far less people see things from ACs than they do from logged in people. The default is set to reading at 1, remember? And it's been proven that once 1 mod point is given, you're much more likely to get another one, than the average post is.

    So the AC post is relegated to a life of 0, and the logged in post (which, truthfully, is worse because it doesn't have a link to Amazon), will probably make it to 5 before too long.

    I'll take a comparatively rectangular Kyocera phone with an antenna that can transmit from the center of a movie theatre

    No! Don't you dare transmit from inside a theatre!! They really should make theatres cell-phone-proof. If you want to make a call, go out into the lobby. If you're expecting a call, don't go to a movie.
