  1. I'm not thinking what you're thinking. on Beyond Nobel, Hard Drives Get Smart · · Score: 1

    Forty terabytes? Oh wow, I cannot wait for the terrible piece of software that'll consume two terabytes just to function properly. More space and speed equates to sloppier software.

  2. Re:Yea on How America Changed the Mario Brothers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I, for one, welcome our new robot dog welcoming overlords.

    Stuff that in your overlord pipe and welcome it.

    Who says artificial intellegence has to be complex?!

  5. Mono over WINE on Fedora Core 5 includes Mono · · Score: 1

    That depends on how different the new .NET framework will be for Windows Vista. Most developers I'm sure will target Vista, depending heavily on all the APIs it will offer. Mono will have to have the same functionality. I'm hoping Mono will be able to do this as flawlessly as possible. The large variety of "managed" applications that could run on both Linux and Windows would be amazing. You can even do impressive "managed" games!

    Personally, I'd rather target the Mono framework rather than .NET for Common Language Infratructure applications.

  6. Re:Hmm... on Share Your Most Dangerous Idea · · Score: 1

    A link to an article on The Onion is rated Insightful?!

  7. Re:A Japanese version of the movie "I, Robot"... on Japanese Find Robots Less Intimidating Than People · · Score: 1

    True. They'd finally realize that if they keep using "free radical protocols" they could engineer an army of sentiant plastic killing machines. Movies rock.

  8. Afraid of Robots?! on Japanese Find Robots Less Intimidating Than People · · Score: 1

    Being afraid of robots is like saying you fear MySQL, because it might find a way of hurting you, or keeping you away from your friends. (Admittedly, both those arguments aren't completly without merit!)

    So what if robots will keep people away from real people? What's the difference between physically getting up, driving to some filth-ridden pub, and talking dirty with idiot humans all day?

    Most humans more closely resemble robots than most robots resemble humans!

  9. Re:Seminal uh? on Review: Halo 2 And The MagicBox XFPS · · Score: 1

    That would be Half-Life 2. :)

  10. Give 'em a break! on Microsoft Blocking Wine Users From Downloads Site · · Score: 1

    Besides, everybody knows WINE comes bundled with Gator anyway!

    Seriously though, that is a pathetic move. I wonder what excuse they'll cook up.

    They tried, but he took control over the court and struck the person who filed the suit down.

  12. Re:Don't use .NET at all on Miguel de Icaza Talks About Mono · · Score: 1

    Can't we just settle it by saying MONO is a framework which extends the .NET, (that's what it's called, sorry), framework, as well as abides by it's standards? It's another implementation of .NET, (that's what it's called, sorry), period.

    I don't see what the problem is. The word 'open' has been used even more as a "marketing term."

    How would creating a search engine equate to total takeover?

  14. This reminds me of... on U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment · · Score: 1

    A poem...

    I am the student
    I am the learned deceived
    The dreamer not permitted to achieve
    I am the disciplined kept on a leash
    The one biting my tongue not licensed to speak
    I am the oppressed, tyrannized, the victimized wishing to be free
    I wish behind gates where I've been penalized
    My age is the crime for which I've been institutionalized
    I am the pupil
    The follower the listener
    The prisoner, analyzed, corrected, improved, then approved
    The taught with a thousand censored thoughts
    I am the listless puppet whose limbs move wherever they aught
    I am the child, the adolescent, the youth
    The pet taught to be passive
    If I do not heed I will face rebuke
    I see the way I am supposed to see
    And speak the way I am supposed to speak
    I assume my position and am where I am required to be
    I must be discrete not to displease
    I'm the slave told I am free
    I am the hypocrite that pledges to the hypothetical flag
    The fool that faces this foolish rag
    Driven mad by the fact that I'm promised life, liberty, and happiness.
    -- Nathalie Lawhead

    Oh, and this little piece.

  16. Re:more than insightful on IBM Desktop Linux Pledge, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    I know what you're saying. Took me long enough to get Debian going on a Compaq computer, even longer to get it half-working on a Sony VAIO.

    Just for the sake of curiosity, were you using the 2.4 kernel? I've recently tried using a newer distrobution loaded with the 2.6 kernel, and I was very surprised to see everything work right out of the box. (The distrobution was also Debian-based. Probably attributed to the fact that the newer kernel has better hardware support, although this might be a naive assumption.)

    Clicking on inline hyperlinks in articles on Slashdot is really amusing. What you guys next time can do, is just post a link to the Google cache of the website in particulare.

  21. Just Think About Consumer Products, Bombs... on Flying By Brain · · Score: 1

    I always thought it would be amazing to see microprocessors that "learn" based on software instructions. Want to see a speed increase in your CPU? Don't buy a new one, install this drivers, and it will "teach" the CPU to run faster.

    Hopefully we'll see something like this before they invent a brain-bomb... Which just happens to be smarter than most people... So it refuses to do it's job.

    You are making this sound like a big deal! All I needed to do, in order to convert 90% of all office computers here, was to install Service Pack 2. I must say, SP2 works like magic... I couldn't have converted everyone without it!
