  1. What they need... on Vehicle for Cockroaches · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is a way to give editors bad karma...

  2. Commuzombies!!! on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    We thought the cold war was over.
    We were wrong.
    When the communes get full, hippies walk the earth. And eat people!

    Disclamer: I have nothing against hippies or communism (not that a state that calls itself communist is necessarily good...).

  3. Re:Linux before Windows on Is There a Place for a $500 Ethernet Card? · · Score: 1

    I would think that high end equipment would be supported on *nix before windows. I doubt that ISPs or web hosts use windows for very high traffic sites that often. The largest of the local ISPs in my region (excluding Telus, not local) has red hat for its 250 mbps connections.

    What suprieses me is that other Unix drivers are not released at the same time as the Linux ones. Or is BSD dead?

  4. Re:Question is.. on Microsoft Wants P2P Avalanche to Crush BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    funny... I tried to send a wma to test it, and it did not seem to work... anyway, to get past it, I just make a copy and change the extension to mp_ and give good instructions on how to change it back...

  5. editors? on Municipal Wi-Fi Networks in London, Alexandria · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, editors. I have been reading slashdot too long... thought you meant EMACS or VI... didn't remember that there was another kind.

  6. We need a general forum on OpenSSH Turns Five Years Old · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If there was a general forum with no topic, then complaints could be discussed. Of course, then people could also complain about specific editors...

  7. Re:Food on North Korean Hackers Rival CIA? · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling that those 500-600 people will make little difference. And you talk about detering a threat they create. Ever heard of the Bay of Pigs invasion?

    Perhaps nuclear and computer threats will make other countries lift embargoes on North Korea (I am unsure what embargoes are in place). I doubt it myself... but it would do more good to have more trade and more skilled technicians than to have a few more farmers.

  8. And this on SCO Announces Q2 2005 Results · · Score: 1

    demonstrates that an American edumication is as good as any other!

  9. I had better uninstall PuTTY on PGP Ruled as Relevant For Criminal Case · · Score: 1

    I could be privatly communicating with terrorists on my college's UNIX server. I wouldn't need to be proven guilty. Proving guilt is SO 1900s...

  10. MOD PARENTS UP on Podcasting from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    They are humourus.

  11. agreed on Podcasting from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. · · Score: 1

    Of course, with all the music, getting liscence to put it in a downloadable form is a lot harder than to brodcast it online, afaik. Of course, the artists on BNW actually WANT to be heard...

  12. In Soviet Canuckistan on Canadian Music Swappers Win Court Battle · · Score: 0

    Freedom has YOU!

  13. I think it works well on Dvorak on the LinuxWorld Fracas · · Score: 1

    Any time I say anything about breats, I get modded funny (check my recent posts)

  14. this story has everything.... on Unmanned Aircraft Clustered via Bluetooth · · Score: 4, Funny

    unmanned planes, linux, bluetooth... wait, no breasts. Nevermind.

  15. which brings us to our next topic... on Mapping the Internet Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    Breasts.

  16. Al Gore actually did help, afaik on Mapping the Internet Evolution · · Score: 1

    Without his work, the US gov't would not have worked on backbones... or something. He was recently honoured by some internet award thingy. And actually, Al Gore just helped. Vin Diesel did all the real work.

  17. When my eyesight comes back.... on Mapping the Internet Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    I will have to take another look.

  18. wasn't as bad as it could have been.... on Mapping the Internet Evolution · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Tubgirl's clothed sister is not my idea of fun, though.

  19. unfortunatly.... on Mapping the Internet Evolution · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I don't think any mainstream browser even supports SVG. Correct me if I am wrong. But yes, vector graphics have their place.

  20. Slashdotted already.... on Mapping the Internet Evolution · · Score: 5, Funny

    They obviously don't know that much about internet evolution...

  21. Sounds good for distribution on Matrix 3D memory is World's Smallest · · Score: 1

    Who needs a CD or DVD when you have a high density ROM chip? I don't see how access speed could be slower than an optical device, but I am no technician. Is this the "CD killer" that we have been waiting for?

  22. Re:When the kinks get.... on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 2, Informative

    More like, "You are typing keys, see non-existant help topic 54321 once Java Run Time decides to load the help browser." If only it was written in portable C++... or COBOL.

  23. Re:No on Robots to Help the Blind · · Score: 1

    I don't think blind people would watch that. For whatever reason.

  24. Another good one I just saw... on Wink Chosen to Receive Noble Piece Prize · · Score: 1

    If you hear an onion ring, answer it!

    Seems to fit

  25. I wouldn't be suprised if this Alfred was at... on Wink Chosen to Receive Noble Piece Prize · · Score: 3, Funny
