  1. [OT] About cygwin 1.0 on Borland C++ Now Free-as-in-Beer · · Score: 1

    I saw on their website that the source in cygwin 1.0 is "released under the terms of the GPL", but I have not found a download location to get it, so I guess I must buy the CD to use it.

    Can someone point out if it is available and where I can get it?

    I know it is not in the GPL to require the company to put it on the net, and to only include it in the cd is fine by the terms, but usually a GPL'ed product of this size is usually available for download.

  2. Comic Guy from Homer's Internet Business episode. on Let the Simpsons be Your Free ISP · · Score: 0

    CBG (Comic Book Guy) sits at his computer

    CBG: Oh, Captain Janeway. Lace: The Final Brassiere. Oh hurry up, I'm a busy man. Ugh, this high-speed modem is intolerably slow. (The download is interrupted by a banner advertisement) Hey, what the? Huh, the Internet King. I wonder if he can provide faster nudity.

    (scene changes to Homer's office)

    Homer: Welcome to the internet my friend, how can I help you?

    CBG: I'm interested in upgrading my twenty eight point eight kilobaud internet connection to a one point five megabit fibre-optic T-1 line. Will you be able to provide an IP router that's compatable with my token ring ethernet LAN configuration?

    Homer: (after long pause) Can I have some money now?

    oh the memories...

  3. Re:[OT] /. messed up my sig! on The Geek Compound Prepares for Y2k · · Score: 1

    of course i already know this, but even after i type this in, and save it under slashdot, it does not change (save does not work well for some reason). This is pretty new, it had worked before, but now it just messes up.

  4. [OT] /. messed up my sig! on The Geek Compound Prepares for Y2k · · Score: 1

    don't even try compiling...

  8. New College Food on Mashed Potatoes Directly Enhance Memory · · Score: 1

    That's why they seem to have an "infinite supply" of potatoes at New College... mmm... potatoes every day...

  9. cool! but does it run linux? on The Ottoman PC · · Score: 1

    Maybe the built in video camera works with the PIII chip serial identification number!

    (oops, almost forgot the comment about the be0wulf thingy...)

  10. Slashbox for Geeks in Space? on Assorted Changes to Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Can we have a slashbox to download the latest slashdot radio? I know it is already a slashdot section, but many users like me don't like to go to a separate page to check for stuff.

  11. Reminds me of... on NASA's X-37 · · Score: 1

    If proportion is right... reminds me of a certain aircraft of Dr.Evil...



  12. Interesting on Loki Games for PPC · · Score: 2

    It will be interesting to see the performance difference when games that were written for windows are ported to Linux x86, then to Linux PPC. Games have such low level code that it will be a challenge to port.

    ... nah ...

  14. But we already have it! on DSL modem standard gets final approval from ITU · · Score: 1

    At least I do... Up here in Ontario, Bell "Sympatico" charges my company (available at home to) $39.99 CDN per month for ADSL. Fast too!

    This, was a hidden advertisement.
