  1. Sqant! on Mutant Tetrachromat Females Found · · Score: 1

    the fourth color was found a while ago: check out www.negativland.com for more information on squant.
    and, contrary to this report, anyone can see it with an appropriate monitor (and browser plugin)

  2. Doom & Quake on Windows ME - The End Of UMSDOS And BeOSfs Over Vfat? · · Score: 1

    actually, doom and quake will run, but thier installers won't.

  3. Re:Answer (probably) on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    i was bothered by that too, best i could come up with is that she meant when she warned him that he was about to get stabbed.

  4. Re:Magneto on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    just to be the devil's advocate a bit, rouge was a lot less of a frail old man than he was. If he died right after lighting up the torch, the plan (and his posse) would be pretty SOL

  5. Re:your sig... OT on Tech Stocks Tumble · · Score: 1

    is that because of a matter/antimatter sort of thing, or a huge DBZ-style duel-to-the-death?

  6. Re:This is worse then Daikatana on Interview With 'Populous' Creator Peter Molyneux · · Score: 1

    Oh, lord molyneux! smite the unbeliever! smite! smite! seriously, 15:1, you'll eat those words when you play the game.

  7. Re:approved? on Sun to Release Forte CE Under Mozilla License · · Score: 1

    IANESR, but i believe that "approved" would mean it falls under the Debian Free Software Guidelines, which i didn't think mozilla's did.
    shows what i know.

  8. 1G < 1000M? on 1-GHz Pentium III Due This Month · · Score: 0

    If I was intel, I wouldn't rush to put out chips labeled 1Ghz. here's why:
    a 333 mhz proccessor sounds a good deal faster than a 200, and clock chip speeds have been increasing at a couple hundred mhz per whatever time span it is (wow, i'm out of the loop)
    but a 1.2 to 1.3 gigahertz chip dosen't have that appeal to induhviduals as "massively faster".

  9. Network traffic? on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    really? it seemed to me that the article was trying to make someone believe it would work accross a network, even though it didn't. in other words, I thought MS was trying to make people believe that if they "read between the lines" but wasn't about to outright lie about a feature that they don't really have.

  10. posing as females? on Men Playing as Women · · Score: 1

    just like the males who post on /. with nicks that imply femininininity.
    these sickos must be stopped.

  11. GNUStep on Super LCD Screens: 200 PPI · · Score: 1

    suddenly, the DPS support in GNUStep seems more important.

  12. Re:FreeDOS ... CLI on Interview: FreeDOS Leader Jim Hall Answers · · Score: 1

    the only thing I want in the dos cli is command-completion. I've managed to become so addicted to it that it becomes a matter of phyisical pain to try to use dos (& dos boxes) NT makes this a thousand times worse. cd C:\winnt\profilles\administrator\desktop /me hits face with keyboard

  13. Blasphemer! on MP3 Player in a Watch · · Score: 1

    re-read the rules for armor. or maybe you think a suit of plate is useless unless its magical. I should be able to quote you the exact page and such, but all my books (except book of humaniods) are beyond arms reach.

  14. Re:MODERATE THIS UP!!! on The 2.3.x "Things To Fix" List · · Score: 1

    whatever mr. 13373R-than-you. go use the HURD or something. I want smp support.

  15. Re:...cereal on IBM to Unveil Major Tech Advances · · Score: 1
    A new space age cereal that doesn't immediately become soggy in milk...

    the cereal you refer to is sold by phillip morris' as "grape nuts".

  16. last odd day? on Happy Odd Day! · · Score: 1

    funny, windows tells me that the next odd day is only eleven years away, on 1-1-1911

  17. Geeks, ready your non-commercial distributions! on A New 'Linux-Based' OS? · · Score: 0

    debain. The project name is pronounced Deb'-ian, with a short e, and emphasis on the first syllable. This word is a contraction of the names of Debra and Ian Murdock, who founded the project. (Dictionaries seem to offer some ambiguity in the pronunciation of Ian (!), but Ian prefers ee'-an.) -debian FAQ

  19. good article, bad reassurance on The Big Bang Generator That Wasn't · · Score: 1

    I liked some of the points made, but a couple of sentences sent chills up my spine:

    Would that we could, but we can't, any more than you can make a black hole by shooting two billiard balls together.

    this reminds me of the PATOS (PATEOS?) from Zodiac, as in: "by using a down-to-earth metaphor, we'll displace all your silly, uninformed fears"

    From a theoretical viewpoint then, the risk of catastrophe is probably negligible.

    I think it's the wording of this that gets me. "probably negligible"? I know I'll sleep well tonight because the PR flacks have told me not to worry about it.

  20. Re:Linux game development. on Ask John Carmack About Quake - or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    forget "nerd factor", many linux/bsd users I know are much more ethical about thier software aquisition (read: less of them are warez d00ds and actually _buy_ games), if the user base ever gets to say 20% of the desktop market, it would seem to me that there would be much more actual money (not #people playing, actual green paper (or checks, whatever)) going to the software developers.

  21. Re:KVM? on More details on the Visor/Handspring (Update) · · Score: 1

    or maybe even hardware java decoding (picojava?) it would be nice to see a consumer portable that could run java, quickly, using the springboard modules. hell, i'd buy one.

  22. Re:Also was in "Neuromancer" on New Patented System Brings the Dead Back to "Life" · · Score: 2

    you mean "Brain tape" don't you? i loved that term, it'd be great to have my entire being summed up in a linear-access storage medium.

  23. Moft? flaky grammar? on MS response to NSA key backdoor in Windows · · Score: 1

    must be another "de-facto standard"

  24. Re:If they can put bsd on a dream cast... on Wacky port of BSD to Dreamcast set top box · · Score: 1

    as far as i know, the bsd kernel has no support for vaporware.

  25. Re:Less interesting than!? on Final Episode of MST3K to Air Today · · Score: 1

    go, right now and (rent || buy || borrow || barter with sex for) one of the episodes w/ joel, and fear for your immortal soul, having made such a blasphemous statement.
