  1. Re:Smurf! on Verbing Weirds Google · · Score: 1

    Dude, that's pretty smurfed up right there.

    Anyhoo, if I am writing a post on web searching, is the present progressive form spelled "googling" or "googleing?" Last thing I need is to have incorrect spelling on slashdot. :)

  2. In other news... on Microsoft to Buy Vivendi Games Division? · · Score: 1

    Did we ever get back word on the other rumored MS acquisitions including:

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/12/0732 16 &mode=thread&tid=109
    Borland

    and

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/23/1223 23 2&mode=thread&tid=109
    Macromedia?

    Next thing you know, MS will be buying the U.S. government or something.

  3. please to be listink Columbia Internet on 100 Best Companies To Work For · · Score: 1

    A linux-shop ISP with great co-workers...what more could you ask for? Even Stef is good for a few marketing-related jokes and 1000 Quake frags. [userfriendly.org]

    In this economy (and the latest unethical corporate practices), a fictional company would get my vote. Even then, A.J. would argue the "fictional" bit.

  4. The Iron h4x0r on Computer Attack and Defense As Spectator Sport · · Score: 4, Funny

    Today's secret ingredient is...a Tux webserver!!!

    Fuki San! (yes, go ahead!) The challenger is now going into the KDE menu and invoking nmapfe!

    (one of the guest judges:) Hahaha, he'll soon find out that the people running the server took notes from a different competition and firewalled everything but port 80 on the server.

    Fuki San! (yes!) The Iron h4x0r Linux commented on the challenger's methods by saying true l337 people run nmap from the command line. The Iron h4x0r has also already discovered that only port 80 is open and is now launching a brute-force attack on any default CGI scripts the secret server may have installed.

    Ah yes. They could call it the I 0w|\| j00 Stadium and have Iron Cracker for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and I guess Iron Cracker Windows would be like "Iron Chef TV Dinner" or something.

  5. Re:None of you understand this on Apple Hawks Madonna iPods · · Score: 1

    So this is Madonna's atonement for that deal allowing Microsoft to use "Ray of Light" to promote XP? Gotta jump over to Apple, eh.

    Can't wait 'til she re-shoots the "Express Yourself" video to include a dancing penguin and male models wearing crimson fedoras.

  6. Forget Mothra... on Godzilla Getting Ready to Stomp Mozilla? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...we need Robert Smith of The Cure to save us now. Nothing like a good ol' roshambo to settle this dispute.

  7. Obligatory Marley Comment on Canadian Government to Jam Radio Signals · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since the Pope's involved, They can say:
    "We're jammin' in the name of the Lord!!!"

  8. New and Improved... on Remote Controlled Rats · · Score: 1

    Um, so does this mean we can expect to see a more elaborate live-action hamster-dancing site anytime soon?

  9. A few questions on Linux On a Used Cash Register · · Score: 1
    Just a few questions regarding this great hack --
    1. does it run some form of GNUCash?
    2. does it GPL the ingredients of products bought?
    3. anyone consider a beo...nevermind
    Seriously, though. Even if it's just really a funny looking computer, just the thought of making it work has to be pretty cool.
  10. Re:Business are very Reactive instead of Proactive on Can Technology Make The Money For You? · · Score: 1

    There is also the case that some people tend to procure technology for the sake of technology without justifiable application. It's a matter of balancing the amount of productivity gained vs. the cost (both time and money) of the technology.

  11. Re:GOOGLE! on $24.5 Million Linux Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    I distinctly remember them saying that they ran on pigeon power...right?

  12. Re:Hmm. on Should Virus Distribution be Illegal? · · Score: 0

    I always thought that those who virii with vbscript are just supporting the MS Shared Source initiative. Now they're saying this is bad? :)

  13. Re:wehavethewayout.com on GameBoy Web Server · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Shhhhhh, when too many people find out, they'll switch to an X-Box server!!!!!!

  14. Schrodinger's Cat on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 1

    Isn't this a lot like Schrodinger's Cat -- or is anyone actually going to go see if this is true?

  15. Re:receptions on Earth to...Earth? Are you there? · · Score: 1

    Wait, are you implying that the Jerry Springer Show is taped here on Earth? I was using that as a postulate for my "life on other planets" theory!!!
