  1. odd on Danish Anti-Piracy Organization Bills P2P Users · · Score: 1

    Notepad and ~/ in the same sentence!?

    Please, no karma whores replying to this with advertisements for wine; we have enough drunk developers as it is!

  2. I would settle for 2d glasses on eDimensional Wired 3D Glasses Review · · Score: 1

    for 2d glasses so long as they can be used independantly without headaches (I'm on a multi-year anti-hangover from caffeine so headaches are few and far between.)

  3. Personally on Speaking Out For Free Software In India · · Score: 1

    Hell, my school has a lower budget than most 3rd world ones. Where do we cash the license stickers in!?

  4. this makes sense, NOT! on Martin Schulze Steps Down As SPI Vice President · · Score: 1

    Quitting to protest the lack of effort by others? I'll just do nothing to protest you doing less than perfection!

    I don't know the guy, but I'm sure he has his reasons. /. should make better summaries.

  5. you thief on LANL Warning About Radioactive Trees · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I invented those things, and I know you didn't pay your license fee because I haven't sold a single one of them!

  6. In other news: on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 1

    PDAs banned at local high school to prevent violence and jealousy.

  7. actually: on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 1

    I for one appreciate Microsoft's up-front attitude by them including a separate folder for My Viruses and another one for My Exploits.

    It is C:\DOCUME~1\AVG~1\MY~1 and C:\DOCUME~1\AVG~1\MY~2 repectively. And they call that PIECE~1 easy!? Hell, Visual~2(Visual Basic) can't even access long filenames from code!

    "Look at them! They're so pathetic!
    Look at their fans; they're just adicts!", if only Staind sang about winshit.

  8. IN SOVIET RUSSIA on RIAA, MPAA Instigate U.S. Naval Academy Raid · · Score: 2

    The RIAA couldn't afford a computer!

    (these are the best to arguments for communism that I've ever heard!)

  9. think about this: on MS-DOS 1981-2002 RIP · · Score: 1

    has been around *much* longer

    Hate to burst your bubble, but UNIX has been around a hell of a lot longer than DOS. As for its high points, even M$ who has the lowest standard of quality ever seen on this planet has disowned DOS.

  10. kludgy!? on Genesi Introduces Dedicated MorphOS PCs · · Score: 1

    FreeBSD and many other OSes have near-perfect GNU/Linux emulation.

  11. So!? on University of Twente Back Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    The hidden webcams were back up, popups and all, withing 12 hours!

    Capitalism is said to be driven by greed, but I think a more powerfull force is at work!

  12. duh on Verizon Sues to Stop Privacy Rules; Wants to Sell Call Data · · Score: 1

    Every prison has more phone taps than a religious exile. It's hard to tap prayers, much less atheist ones.

  13. here's an explanation on Quark Matter Blamed for Paired 1993 Seismic Events · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's like saying f'(x) = df/dx is 0 because df is almost zero... you are neglecting the very important fact that dx is almost zero too.

    Not really, he is saying that while the things have a hell of a lot of momentum (3e11 Newton seconds) it's impact area would be incredible small (smaller than a hydrogen atom in diameter) so it would just blast through a person without transfering its momentum to more than the cells it went through. So when it exits the individual it has left a wake, but a small one because of its incredible velocity.

    This isn't billiards, where a ball transfers all its momentum to another, and it isn't like an ice burg where the oil station must be obliterated for passage. At 3e8 m/s it would pass through a meter of flesh in 1/3e8 seconds transfering energy to a few cells with very little mass themselves.

    That's why he didn't think it would significantly damage a person. The Earth was both dense enough and large(volume) enough to take the blast.

  14. Alien Semen? on Quark Matter Blamed for Paired 1993 Seismic Events · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is finally a scientiffic reason for spontaneous human impregnation?

  15. The FBI on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    Is on its way to your house now. Please stand still while your possessions are stolen by charter cable. Have a nice day, and remember that your hard disks may be seized for quality assurance purposes.

  16. Jar Jar is just drunk on Living with Darth Vader · · Score: 1

  17. AMAZING! on Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online · · Score: 1

    Wait, so when I watched the quicktime version of this on my mac when I first got the thing that was sent back in time by the /. effect.

    btw, MoL is a lot better than crossover plugin for those kinds of things.

  18. so.... on Gov't Report on Youth, Pornography, And The Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where would one go to buy howtoburnthings.kids.us?

  19. Re:RTF and ascii on Microsoft Just Says No to .Doc Replacement Panel · · Score: 1

    Straight-up ascii? That's what XML is

    They weren't talking about a file that uses the ASCII letters/numbers system so that it is somewhat readable by a human, but rather a message in plain, unformatted, monospaced ASCII.

    Back in my BBS days on my 286 laptop, I could do anything that a fancy new box could over the network because a single, readable, standard was in place. Speaking of which, will ANSI ever make a comeback?

    To get back on topic, XML is NOT plain ASCII. ASCII is a lookup table of binaries numbers to text and contains no 'formatting' aside from space, tab, +, -, |, etc. XML uses ASCII to store its markup.

  20. lol on Robots Approved For Cardiac Surgery · · Score: 1

    My TI83 fucked problems up all the time.

    Good thing my trusty TI89 and HP49g are there for me.

  21. ironic on An Informal Study Of K12 Classroom Software Costs · · Score: 1

    Macs are now infinitely ahead of DOS, which I deamed a better choice back in the day.

    My my things have changed as I post this through my Linux proxy server on my Linux iBook.

  22. Memo to self on Armadillo Flies... Briefly · · Score: 1

    Replace PocketPC with working tape recorded.

  23. Oh Know on DMCA bad for Apple Users · · Score: 1

    I just realized that gossip functions like a p2p network! One infinitely more efficient because it rarely relays pr0n! Better get a 6 new laws to make it punishable by death and stoning.

  24. damn good thing on Movielink Snubs DRM-less Macs · · Score: 1

    I jumped the boat two years ago. So I didn't pay $300 to upgrade from NT 5.0 to NT 5.1, and I upgraded neither.

    Which means that while you do have the right to murder me in my sleep or burn a hole through my burners, you do not have the right to pull my plug.

    Am I still bound by the agreement after I ceremonially burn every last copy of winshit (3.51 and 1.0 included)?

  25. Here you go! on Making Mac OS X Work Like X Windows? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    OS X is just whoring the letter X as the X-box is. X was first used in a computer project in X10 and later X11(unrelated, but much more fun).

    If OS X is gonna whore the name around, they should do so with style rather than beauty.

    To the original author, just do what I did and install Linux on your iBook. If necessary you can run MoL on your dual processing G4 and run it remotely on your iBook. I use MoL for programs such as Bryce and Flash MX with no trouble to speak of. Configuring networking will be a bitch, I warn you.
