  1. Gattaca on The Future of Crime - Biometric Spoofing? · · Score: 1

    Yep, and I just picked up a copy of Gattaca for $5 yesterday...

    Coincidence?

  2. Re:Old... on How America Changed the Mario Brothers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...final fantasy VXIII...

    Is anyone else trying to figure out which one this is?

  3. List order on The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    FYI, it's just in alphabetical order.

  4. Re:Bad attitude on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 1

    If you're asking if I could create lvl 60 WoW characters instead of spending tons of time grinding them out, the answer is a resounding "Yes."

    Granted, WoW is a timesink in and of itself, but I'd rather waste my time in the parts of the game I find fun.

  5. Re:What kind of questions are you so sick of answe on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 1

    You've never seen a file cabinet?

  6. Re:What Next? on SCO Tells Courts What IBM Did Wrong · · Score: 1

    While the comment is pretty funny, you should try this:

    cd /usr/src/linux
    find . -name *.c | xargs grep -n for\(\;\;

    for(;;) seems to be the typical kernel version of while(1).

  7. Re:The one thing keeping me from using Opera on Opera Turns 10, Gives Away Free Registrations · · Score: 1

    Or if you prefer clicking buttons, just go grab the Tabbrowser Preferences extension.

  8. Re:Been there. Done that. on Idaho Companies Tout New Wireless Record · · Score: 1

    Ya, they probably do claim that.

  9. Re:Great Caesar's Ghost! on Reconciling Information Privacy and Liberty? · · Score: 1

    I think everyone wore themselves out on the other thread, thus the apocalypse may be averted.

  10. Re:News? on How To Conduct Your Very Own Buffer Overflow · · Score: 1

    Ya, we need a machine that can stop people from hacking into it via social engineering.

  11. Re:Sun=good hardware Dell =cheap hardware on Linux to Replace Solaris at Duke · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hmm, 1/3 the cost, 1/2 the longevity.

    Sounds like a good deal to me!

  12. Re:EXAMPLE: What is a first post? on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    I prefer frist psot

  13. Re:No Servers Allowed on Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders · · Score: 1

    Of course they don't enforce this. If they did, no one could host a multiplayer video game, and that would seriously upset their customers.

  14. Re:Who cares? on Mac OS X Panther On A 25MHz Centris 650 · · Score: 1

    Actually CNN is a much better choice for "news." Slashdot is more a place for stuff that may make you think, "Oh, that's kind of cool." You may not think this particular story is cool, but I sure hope that you don't use Slashdot as your only source of information on world events. :)

  15. That's strange on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 5, Informative

    They haven't even upped the normal 2 meg ones yet...

    Not that I'm really bothered by it, it's just always fun to see huge claims. :)

  16. Re:Missing Stats? on Security Statistics and Operating System Conventional Wisdom · · Score: 1

    You betcha.

    Security IS a binary state. This state is false.

  17. Re:Repeat After Me on Linux vs. Windows: What's The Difference? · · Score: 1

    Article? What's an article? :)

  18. Re:The answer is ... jedit on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    I'm curious what (if anything) these text editors have to do with the X copy/paste problem.

    Vim/emacs are very sophisticated programs that aren't meant for "newbies" at all. Most distros that I've seen come with much simpler notepad clones.

  19. Obvious joke on Manufacturing 1 PC Takes 1.8 Tons Of Raw Material · · Score: 0, Troll

    /me waits for all of the comments about the newish small form factor PCs...

  20. Terminator 2 on The Universal Card · · Score: 1

    Hey, didn't John Connor already have one of these? His would even crack PINs and stuff too!

  21. Re:Microsoft mice rock on Logitech Ships 500 Millionth Mouse · · Score: 1

    I don't know... I'd probably rank MS software "up" there as well. I've had quite a bit of trouble with Logitech's mouse software...

  22. Re:this is news?? on Perfect Pitch for Those Without It · · Score: 1

    "Of course, there are people with perfect pitch who can't carry a tune with their voice."

    Seriously?? Wow... I've never heard of this.

    On another note...I WISH I had perfect pitch...

  23. Re:Potential Power Source! on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    You're new to the human race, aren't you? :)

  24. How silly.... on Morse Code Migrating To The Net · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Could the next must-have computer input device be a morse key?

    Um, no.
  25. Re:Nice, but not really a positive thing. on NVIDIA's Latest CineFX Card Under Linux · · Score: 1

    They could only do this if their competitor(s?) raised their prices accordingly. Otherwise, they'd just lose the consumer market.
