  1. compilers are 'smart', but... on Optimizations - Programmer vs. Compiler? · · Score: 1

    It's always a good idea to practice good coding. This way you'll not only depend on the compiler to do all the coding, but you'll also remain Sup3R l33t.

  2. Time to switch to exeem? on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Since exeem claims to be completely decentralized, would this be the time to switch torrent sites over to there?

  3. On it's way now, thanx to LiveCD on The State of Linux Gaming · · Score: 1

    With LiveCD's from Knoppix and Gentoo, things are already heating up. I usually recommend a LiveCD to my all-Windows-users friends, who then get a thirst to learn the rest of Linux.

  4. Movie ++ on A Brief History of Programming Languages? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think they forgot Movie++, which of course, runs on MovieOS. It's a great programming language, you navigate classes and objects in full blown 3d floating experiences!

    Every video can be programmed to zoom up until you can see microscopic particles WITHOUT any loss of resolution!

    My personal favorite is when hackers run virus attacks against giant "Gibson" computers. See, you just don't get a BSOD, you get an awesome 3d graphic eating your desktop!

  5. SPAM! on Can-Spam Increased Spam · · Score: 0

    I don't understand why people hate fake meat so much? I mean, put it on sandwich, with some horseradish, and you're all set to go!

  6. IBM, Red Hat or Novell (SUSE) on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    My company runs Red Hat Enterprise. Upper management likes big names. So, when you tell them, "Hey, I think we should run Mandrake", they'll stare at you like you're retarded.

    But now say, "We're thinking of running IBM, RedHat, or Novell", they'll say, "Oh, I read about them in the Wall Street Journal. Go with it."

  7. Re:Global Warming...Global Schmarming on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Newsflash, before you go around accusing folks of being Bush-loving a-holes, I voted for John Kerry. Second, it's not "think-tank bullshit" that I'm saying. Can you find any scientific proof of global warming? Can you?

    I don't understand what global warming has to do with George W. Bush? Your logic is completely irrelevant to the situation at hand.

  8. Global Warming...Global Schmarming on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We are arrogant, mankind is, to think that because of a half-century of climate fluctuations, that we are all going to die tomorrow. Please, the climate has been changing in HUGE ways for much longer than the life-span of a human being.

    Global Warming is alarmism, coming from political agendas of people who want attention. Remember how we all laughed at those people who purchased electric generators and resurrected old bomb shelters for the Y2K scare?

  9. I resent that. on This Just In - Gamers Are Human · · Score: 1

    You know what, maybe you are human and your parents and most of the people you deal with on a daily basis...BUT

    I am a mushroom-eating, fireball spitting, red-blooded plumber!

    We have feelings too.

  10. I'm still waiting for... on Are Nanotube Monitors In Your Future? · · Score: 1

    RD-D2 Droids to come out, so I can play Doom III in 3d Holographic Projection mode!

    Now to just program the R2 unit to fetch me "Cold Ones"...

  11. Plan of Attack on Infogrames Could Help Ubisoft vs. EA · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's quite simple, Infogames will turn off the lights and EA will be eaten by a GRUE!

  12. past discussions on Creative Commons For Science · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With all the discussions in previous years regarding the government trying to decide what scientists can and cannot post in journals, I am hoping this can further put the government at a distance and allow free information to remain, well, free.

  13. Largest Natural Disaster Ever? on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    OK, let me rephrase that question, largest natural disaster to affect mankind?

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it is.

  14. Not To Sound Silly... on High Speed Steam Powered Car · · Score: 0, Troll

    But doesn't it strike anybody just a bit odd that we're reverting to very "old" technology?

    Maybe it's just me, but lately, going retro seems to be the new trend. Hello 1880's!

  15. Outsource this... on Two Reviews of Yourdon's 'Outsource?' · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this is simply a trend, or maybe it has something to do with the way the government treats business. Let's tax and tax some more. Oh, you can't do this because it'll piss off the environmentalists, you can't do that because it'll piss off the group that pays me to vote their way.

    Here's my Guide To Stopping Outsourcing:
    1) Cut H1B, L1 Visa laws
    2) Stop rewarding companies for outsourcing
    3) Lower corporate taxes
    4) Big f'ing tax breaks for companies that keep work here

    Or, we could just outsource Congress and see how they like it!

  16. Just like the President said... on Poland Blocks European Software Patent Vote, For Now · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You forgot Poland.

  17. Who stole... on Welcome to the Future of DRM Media · · Score: 1

    DRM is the digital version of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

    That was my Christmas Slashdot Discussion Contribution this year!

  18. Blagojevich Is Evil on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 2, Informative

    As a resident of the Chicago area, I have to say, it seems like Blagojevich is out to destroy business in Illinois. First raising the tolls for truck drivers, and now he's about to cripple the video game business in Illinois!

    This guy has had tons of static from the Illinois Congress regarding many issues such as passing the budget and getting medicine from Canada! I hope they fight him tooth and nail on this one too.

    Plus, this will hurt more than just video game retailers. What about arcades? Is he just going to put an age limit on who can get in there because of game violence? Most of the people in arcades are under the age of 18 anyways.

  19. Beta Testers getting out of the country... on World of Warcraft Launches · · Score: 0
  20. We can turn this to our advantage... on Color Laser Printers Tracking Everything You Print · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...by printing tons of encoded, "dots", so when police read them, they will read, "All Your Base Are Belong to Us!"

    The Geek revolution has begun.

  21. EFF on CBLDF Auction with Sim & Gaiman · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't forget guys, these are the people who are fighting against the DMCA, the USA PATRIOT ACT, and any other civil liberty limiting crap legislation.

    Good job guys, we love ya all.

  22. What about... on Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens · · Score: 4, Funny

    Getting a Mr. Fusion to power a vehicle? I mean, they did it back in 1985!

    And that was with a DeLorean.

  23. Buying it from AOL on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Anybody out there in Slashdot land think we might be able to put together an initiative, gather donations for funds, and buy the source from AOL?

  24. Best time to upgrade? on When Is A Good Time To Upgrade? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Easy, when Carmack puts out a new first person shooter.

  25. Next T-x Model? on Automated Sentry Robots · · Score: 1, Funny

    Now if it'll only be able to save John Conner AND lower taxes...
