  1. Re:never too late... on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 1

    Well I've already joined the Air Force, so I should be able to avoid the draft. Now if they'll ever let me go to basic.

  2. Re:Funny quote on Linus on Linux in 1994 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or subscribe and read it before everyone else.

  3. Re:Am I the only one who trusts Novell? on Novell's Chris Stone at the MySQL Users Conference · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone wanna bet we'll be seeing a Knome 4.0 release rather than a Gnome 4.0 and KDE 4.0?


    I was hoping for GDE 4.0

  4. Hard drive in some on Xbox 2 Storage Supplier Says No Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm guessing that their base game unit will not have a hard drive, but they will have a more expensive deluxe PVR model that will have a harddrive.

  5. Re:Buy a plane ticket on How To Fight International OSS License Violations? · · Score: 1

    You can borrow my black helicopter and sniper team, but only for the weekend.

  6. Re:New Series on Firefly Movie Gets The Green Light · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that was probably the inital problem, puting it on broadcast TV. Cable is about the only place for shows that have actors and don't give away prizes.

  7. New Series on Firefly Movie Gets The Green Light · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While a movie would be nice, I would rather have the series returen. Firefly was one of the few shows I've watched that I really like and made it a point to watch, instead of just watching it if it was on like most other shows.

  8. Re:not just a Linux user on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1

    The lawsuit against AutoZone seems to be about them using SCO libraries on their Linux systems after they migrated from SCO Unix. Apparently, SCO believes it to be impossible to migrate applications from Unix to Linux with copying libraries.

  9. Re:Now if cable TV companies were only smart enoug on NASA Mars Press Briefing & "Significant Findings" · · Score: 1

    Well, the cable companies in Hustville, AL seem toa carry it and we're not that close the Kennedy Space Center. Although, the Marshall Space Center and the Space and Rocket Center might have something to to with that.

  10. Re:RTFA on Firmware Upgrades For Everything · · Score: 1

    lets just hope the updates are critical enough that they get on slashdot, that way we don't have to worry about registering.

  11. Re:*yawn* on Midway Announces New Mortal Kombat, Romero-Helmed Gauntlet · · Score: 2, Funny

    WHY?! Why is there ANOTHER Mortal Kombat game coming out? Especially when they said the series was over before the last game?

    Every time I see a dead horse I just feel the need to kick it, I'm sure this is a similar situation.

  12. Re:now if my cable company would only do that.... on Qwest To Offer 'Naked DSL' · · Score: 1

    Adelphia is the only Cable company in my aarea, and they don't even ofer internet around here. I love how they periodically take away a couple of channels and slighty raise the price around the same time. The channels are still there, you just have to pay the extra $20 for digital cable.

  13. Re:One reason why I think on HP Dumped Napster for Apple · · Score: 1

    Another could possibly be the iPod

  14. Re:DOS huh? on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    I think I may have gotten it to work under VPC, although I don't know what it looks like when it's running. All I can tell is that it is using the network connection a lot.

  15. Re:DOS huh? on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    don't worry, that machine attached to that address is so secure that I'm not worried. Just try me.

  16. Re:So... on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think they are trying to avoid parts of their OEM agreement with Microsoft that bars them from shipping PCs without and OS, and FreeDOS is more neutral than picking a linux distro to ship with it.

  17. Is this new? on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I may be wrong, but didn't they start this a long time ago?

  18. Re:DOS huh? on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 5, Funny

    Damn it, they don't make enough Mac compatible viruses.

  19. Re:Typo? on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 5, Funny

    No I think he meant eighty percent who work at AOL. Eighty percent is way too low for amount of their customer base that is clueless.

  20. Re:never should have been left to rot on Saturn V Fallen on Hard Times · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah that Saturn V replica makes the sky line look nice over here at UAH.

  21. Finder on Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1, Informative

    I agree with him on the Finder. Apple has followed in Microsoft's footsteps by making finder window was too much space, al though they aren't as bad. At least they didn't turn the finder into a web browser.

  22. Re:Visual C++ runs faster on Windows. Duh on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've used GCC on Windows, and I'm not surprised that it didn't fare as well. It's defiantly not one of the best Windows compilers.

  23. Haven't we seen this before on Real Launches New Player, Music Store · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Real's actions seem to be mirroring Netscape's very closely. FIrst in order to compete with Microsoft, the go open source. Next they sue Microsoft for antitrust violations. Now they are in a fighting for survival in a market dominated by others. Hope fully this will turn out better for them.

    Does anyone know if they updated the Mac version, and if so, does it play iTunes Store files there?

  24. Re:Wow, that's good news on Transmeta's New Smaller, Faster Chips Announced · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wouldn't AMD and Intel chips be better in toaster ovens?

  25. Anything can be abused on OnStar Considered Harmful · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you're that paranoid, don't install anything trackable in your car.
