  1. Threaten? on U2 Threatens to Release Album Early on iTunes · · Score: 1

    You mean that they are going to force people to listen to the Edge play that same shitty guitar riff that he's been playing for the past 20 years earlier than scheduled?

  2. Re:6 billion people on earth.... on Microsoft Expects 1 Billion Windows Users by 2010 · · Score: 1

    somebody woke up on the wrong side of a BSOD this morning I see.

  3. 6 billion people on earth.... on Microsoft Expects 1 Billion Windows Users by 2010 · · Score: 1

    So that means that M$ will only be on 1/6 of the worlds PC's or roughly 16%. Does this mean that the rest of the world will be using Linux, FreeBSD and Mac? :)

  4. Re:FWIW : Mephis: As easy as it gets on Time to Try a Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Ah! Another fan of Mepis! I love that distro and I use it on all of my PC's. Warren has really created a top notch distro! As for support. I find it to be pretty good. I've gotten many friendly and helpful emails from other forum members on the Mepis site whenever I've had a question.

  5. What about M$ Cutbacks!?! on Gates: Open Source Kills Jobs · · Score: 1

    Didn't M$ just cut a billion bucks out of their budget last week? Ands what of all of their recent layoffs? Is this how a 'closed source' company saves us from the 'evils' of open source software??? :)

  6. Do inflatable space hotels on More on Inflatable Space Hotels · · Score: 1

    Come with inflatable bed mates :P

  7. It's just Like I've Always said... on Starbucks - Your Next Music Superstore? · · Score: 1

    Starbucks serves every BUT coffee.

  8. Re:He has a future at slashdot... Hire him ASAP on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 1

    who rated that one off topic!!!! that should at least be a +3 funny! remod this with both eyes :)

  9. Re:Weapons? on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    we'd call those duds... :)

  10. times are still tough. get your foot in the door on Recent Grads and Experience Beyond the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    get any sort of job first, even customer service or retail. all companies usually have IT departments, if you show that you have what it might take to be a part of their IT dept, your foot is already in the door, companies love to hire from within.

  11. And after hearing this news on France Considers Open Source · · Score: 4, Funny

    Microsoft canceled plans for it's latest product: Microsoft Surrender Suite. Freshmeat.net was soon overwhelmed with new releases of kSurrender, gtk-surrender, and gSurrender. Mirrors should be available for all French citizens to download the latest releases.

  12. ripped fine on my box on Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts · · Score: 2, Informative

    using Grip.... no problems at all.

  13. Small Logic Problem with using Win4Lin... on Windows Compatability on the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    When you use Win4Lin it still required you to own a copy of Windows. So your still getting screwed over by being forced to buy Windows. Sure it might 'fix' the compatibility problem, but you might as well just duel boot if your going to have to buy Windows.

  14. Re:nothing wrong on Do You Really Want to Meet People on the Web? · · Score: 1

    we've all met your wife on the internet :)

  15. Re:256?! on Fan-made Maniac Mansion 256 Color Remake · · Score: 2, Funny

    because 257 would just be silly :)

  16. rip once..... on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    write multiple times..... once it's in MP3, Ogg or Wav format there really isn' much that can be done to prevent copies from being made.

  17. Re:Yep, and you would have to take responsibility. on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 1

    True, but imagine someone using your router as a starting point for a DoS attack on a government server. The IP of the traceback will point right to your router...

  18. Re:Because I could use your network to do whatever on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 1

    there's nothing wrong with sharing with your neighbor. The problem comes from someone using your network to perform an illegal act. Because the IP address of the attack or other act will point right back to YOU.

  19. fun with wifi at apartment complexes on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 1

    At my apartment complex I have noticed a total of 8 netgear and linksys based home wireless networks that were left wide open all within the past 3 months. In every case I simply 'attach' myself to their router and then proceed to log onto the router with the default username and password. From there it allows you to lock out any devices, change the password, and change the network name (a dead giveaway of an unsecure network is one that is still named linksys or netgear). These default usernames and password are free and available online simply by downloading the docs for the brand of router that your attempting to log onto (another good reason why you should never keep the default network name). If one were so inclined *snicker*, one could easily lock out the owner of the router to his/her own network.

  20. flashblock is wonderful! on Flash 7 for Linux Released · · Score: 1

    http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation.html

  21. Babe Magnet? on Build Your Own Imperial Star Destroyer · · Score: 1

    Wow, what a babe magnet. I can just picture the women asking this guy if they can come over and see his Imperial Star Destroyer.....

    um....yeah....

  22. Re:Bad Idea on Factory Testing of Airborne Laser Cannon Completed · · Score: 1

    :) I loved Real Genius!

  23. Re:Do they call it... on KDE And Gnome Together At Last? · · Score: 1

    If RMS has his way it will be GNU/Knome

  24. Oh sure.... on Satellite Celebrates 20 Years Working in Orbit · · Score: 1

    Oh sure, a satellite that is hundreds of miles away from us gets a big listing just for turning 20. But my TI-35 calculator that's been working since 1983 gets no respect at all :)

  25. Hey! on Apple Now Debt Free, Says Internal Memo · · Score: 1

    The sad news is that the dollars they paid their debt with only appear to work on Apple hardware. Yet the banks admit they are really digging these iTune downloads :)
