  1. Re:can anyone else hear on ffmpeg: Free Software's WMA decoder · · Score: 1

    Yeah but... "Proprietary! Proprietary! Proprietary! Proprietary!"
    doesn't have the same ring to it as "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!"

  2. Re:farscape still cancelled on Stargate SG-1 Gets A Seventh Season · · Score: 3, Funny

    I click on the watchfarscape.com link. The page loaded, including a picture of Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black).
    For a split second (before I looked at her face, and realised who she was) I thought I'd been re-directed to a soft porn site.
    ...and thats the real tragedy of the show being cancelled.

  3. Notepad it on The Very Verbose Debian 3.0 Installation Walkthrough · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Last time I installed Debian, I wrote about 20 points of installation instructions in a notebook. The instructions are simple, and let you quickly set up similar systems without needing to search online for more information.

    Soon I'll be creating a webpage, so you too can run an open-relay EXIM server.

  4. Re:Another angle on Debian, Past Present & Future · · Score: 1

    Once Dotnet gets established, the relative cost of writing cross-(hardware)-platform applications will plummet and Linux will be unable to catch up.

    The cost of writing cross-platform applications may fall. However, the costing of OWNING them is what MOST PEOPLE worry about.

    Not everyone is a software developer.

  5. Re:The one we have in the basement. . . on The Most Dangerous Server Rooms · · Score: 1

    Kangaroo != a Rat

    Just like a bunch of lawyers to not have a fucken clue.

  6. Re:Perl is Perl, C is C on Extending and Embedding Perl · · Score: 1

    In the same way, "I've been down through the source, I saw some great code...Perl...but do you want scripts all up in your C?"

    Dude, I don't know what you're talking about, but that sounds really rude to me.

  7. Re:Want to see the world? on Visiting the World, as a Geek? · · Score: 1

    ...There is a downside, however. The work is stressful, you don't have the luxury of making as many mistakes...

    Unless you're a consultant to the Australian government (or any other major bureaucracy for that matter). In which case, you can get away with murder.

  8. Re:Boots on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 1

    No, he died in the toilet. That is the ELVIS way of dying.

  9. Re:Happy birthday!!! on Slashdot Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but he only rose through the ranks because his dad (General Taco) owns the military school.

  10. Re:silence on Slashback: Encumbrance, Silence, Internalization · · Score: 1

    He was taking the piss.

    The estate caved in. He won.

    Sanity prevailed.

  11. Re:R2D2 == Ultimate Hardware Guru on Getting Help Building Your Computer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He might not. He is from...
    A long time ago
    in a galaxy far, far away

  12. Re:Bon Jovi??? on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    He was the plumber in the last season of Ally McBeal, wasn't he? :)

    You watch Ally McBeal?

  13. Re:laws of parody? on Making and Detecting Illegal Music · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have any of those other bands released an album with the name of the band they copied music
    from in big bold letters on the cover, and their own name in fine print at the bottom?

    Warrant released an album in 1992 entitled "Dog Eat Dog"
    Subsequently Dog Eat Dog released an album in 1993 entitled "Warrant"

  14. Re:Is it a good idea? on Mozilla Rising ... As A Platform · · Score: 1

    Just beacuse it pisses M$ off does not mean its a good idea.
    Probably... Yes

    Mozilla might be very nice but I dont think a web browser should be the basis of all applications.
    No, but no one said "all".

    After all isnt that what Windows did?
    Using the enemy's tactics against the enemy, does not make YOU the enemy.

  15. Re:Where their other canidates? on Australian Open Source Awards · · Score: 1

    Some Enlightenment on the issue.

    For a start there is: Australian Contributions to the Linux movement

  16. Re:Speed of light? on Plastic Optical Fibre: Cheap and Bendy · · Score: 1

    So that's why they always used Photon torpedos.
    'Cause they were faster than the ships.

  17. Re:Nostalgia on Maxtor Announces 80GB Platters · · Score: 1

    I was the size of a small beer fridge, weighed 300 pounds, dimmed the lights...

    Damn, until I realised it was typo, you were starting to really turn me on.

  18. Re:Interesting, but... on Solar Car To Retrace Cross-Australian Route · · Score: 1

    And hopefully the batteries will have enough charge to get you through Manchester.

  19. Re:E-terrorism, it not F***ing terrorism, on E-terrorism, Bark or Bite? · · Score: 1

    People don't have to die for it to be terrorism.
    But... I think a better question would be. E-terrorism, FFS, does anybody care?
    Bob can't get to his favourite cooking website... Who cares (other than Bob, of course)?

  20. Re:The Future of Infantry... Women? on MIT Steals Comic Book Character · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that MIT is subtly implying that all infantry in the future should be bordline aneorxic chicks with breast implants?

    Those aren't breasts, they're fuel cells.

  21. Re:What is the first step? on Ask About Setting Up a Community ISP · · Score: 1

    You could merge the two steps. Shooting all the lawyers would bring everyone together.

  22. Re:Lets get over the Mandrake thing, please? on Turbolinux Sells Linux Business · · Score: 1

    I am not sure Joe User knows who Microsoft are, other than: "that's that Bill Gates guy. He's, like really rich, isn't he?"

  23. Re:Appropriate Punishment? on Russian Agency Charges FBI Agent With Hacking · · Score: 2, Funny

    (to paraphrase) "He'll do shit work, scan, crack copyrights, whatever Dmitry wants".

  24. Re:Id didn't develop the Keen trick on The Technology Behind ID's Games · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I meant it did not have hardware blitter. The address was $A000. I was doing the same thing back in the day.

  25. Re:Id didn't develop the Keen trick on The Technology Behind ID's Games · · Score: 1

    PCs did not have blitters. PC memory addressing system also made this more difficult. Amigas were easy to program graphic applications on, PCs were not. You are comparing apples and oranges.
