    Three

  2. Great... on Tech Jobs Projected to Double by 2010 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great this after I just changed my major away from computer engineering.

  3. Re:Why run Linux on a Mac? on Mandrake 9.1 (Bamboo) Out For PPC · · Score: 1

    My exeriances on older G3 or higher macs has been that OS X will run okay if you feed it a lot of RAM.

  4. Re:In other news on AOL Bans Mail From DSL-Hosted Servers · · Score: 1, Funny

    Well its about damn time! :)

  5. Re:Hah! Let the War Begin! on AOL Bans Mail From DSL-Hosted Servers · · Score: 1

    As an antispam measure I've blocked AOL, hotmail and Yahoo for a while(except for people who I already know).

  6. Re:One working label? on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 4, Interesting

    At least we won't have to worry about copy protected cds that kill iMacs. Also, I though Apple could never be arecord company.

  7. Re:Kind of Broadband on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 1

    Sharing between computers on the network is fast. As far as kazaa and similar things go, they blocked those bck when the RIAA was complaining to all the universities.

  8. Kind of Broadband on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Here on the UAH campus network, They say it's broadband, but we get the speed and relability of dial up. I guess they think if you get a static IP and connect though an ethernet jack it's broadband.

  9. Re:64 + 128 + 256 + 16 + 224 + 64 + 512k.... on FreeBSD Looking for People with Lots of RAM · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, despite the best efforts of the Slashdot bigwigs, some trolls still ge modderator access(ie. modding perfectly good comments as trolls or flamebait)

  10. Re:64 + 128 + 256 + 16 + 224 + 64 + 512k.... on FreeBSD Looking for People with Lots of RAM · · Score: 1

    It was a joke

  11. Re:64 + 128 + 256 + 16 + 224 + 64 + 512k.... on FreeBSD Looking for People with Lots of RAM · · Score: 1, Funny

    I've got 8 gigs of RAM in my old 286 running a hacked version of FreeDOS, so this isn't really news

  12. Re:deja vu on Sun Considers Opteron · · Score: 1

    Crap, now all my windows are covered with bricks.

  13. Re:following suit on Sun Considers Opteron · · Score: 1

    When the Opteron was first annouced I considered selling custom built servers and workstations running Linux as a way ay to may a little extra money. So obviously they are just following my lead.

  14. Re:The Sun is Setting on Sun Considers Opteron · · Score: 1

    Linux/AMD systems may give lower profit margins, but small profits are better than none.

  15. Re:I never said Terra was making clones... on Terra Soft Withdraws Plans for PowerPC Motherboards · · Score: 1

    HP sess Dell as a threat since they also make Wintel boxes. That's called bussiness.

  16. Re:This is sad... on Terra Soft Withdraws Plans for PowerPC Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Your argument is a rather absurd troll. Terra Soft wasn't planning on making Mac clones, they were going to use their own OS, Yellow Dog Linux. Apple stopping Terra Soft from making a PowerPC computer(based on an open motherboard design no less) is like HP stopping Dell from making Intel based systems with their own motherboard design.

  17. Re:$40 at Walmart on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    It's a z23 (z33), the z22 and z32 are listed as supported.

  18. Re:opteron form factor on Sun May Use Opteron Chips · · Score: 2, Informative

    The desktop version won't come out until September, the Opteron is mainly for servers and workstations.

  19. $40 at Walmart on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I bought a Lexmark for $40 at Walmart, and it's a peice of crap. To make it worse the drivers for Linux don't work with CUPS(thus not Mandrake 9.1)

  20. Re:Nice journalism here once again... on Sun May Use Opteron Chips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually read the posts? I guess you're new around here.

  21. Re:Solaris Vs. Mickeysoft. on Sun May Use Opteron Chips · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't know if Solaris wants to be Microsoft but, Sun might.

  22. Re:opteron form factor on Sun May Use Opteron Chips · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could this be the begining of the end for SPARC? Will Sun start to adopt a strategy that HP/Compaq has with Itanium and Alpha, and just keep SPARC around for current users.

  23. Oh, Slashback on Slashback: Taplight, Handheld, Samba · · Score: 2, Funny

    At first I thought this was a story about some sort of handheld light that can run Samba, but it's just Slashback. Too bad.

  24. Missing Link on Windows Key Leak Threatens Mass Piracy · · Score: 5, Funny

    The poster forgot to link to the leaked key. A fix would be appreciated.

  25. Re:Get a copy of Partition Magic on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was going to say Warcraft 3, but then I saw that part about old slower machines, so Warcraft 2, and maybe C&C Red Alert.
