  1. if i ever die... on We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties · · Score: 1

    Better start watching your back! Rob needs another machine pretty bad! ;)

  2. CmdrTaco, shoot! You have cheated me!!! on We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties · · Score: 1

    Geez, what are you blind? THE CODE IS OPEN, whether or not it's version 3.

  3. I think the Slashdot community can do better! on Completely-CGI people for FF movie · · Score: 1


    But with an infinite amount of monkeys, er, programmers writing screenplay, we'll produce an infinite amount of screenplays/scripts/etc. Then it's just a matter of picking the best one!

  4. I -know- the Slashdot community can do better! on Completely-CGI people for FF movie · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see a GPL'd movie, but my feeling is that we'll never see anything of quality (longer than 30 min) come out.

  5. CmdrTaco, shoot! You have cheated me! on We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties · · Score: 1

    Hate to burst your bubble, but the code is available and can be freely modified. Go get it at ftp.slashdot.org/pub/slash/

  6. Time to change DB's? on We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties · · Score: 1

    Just wonder if Rob could afford the tons of new hardware that'd be necessary to handle the new load (Mysql may have limited features, but it's a speed demon). It'd suck to buy tons of new hardware to give it a try and have it not end up being the problem.

  7. hmmm on We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties · · Score: 1

    The servers are in a temperature controlled datacenter being fed good clean power. Server cases are pretty dustpuppy free too. Just have to keep looking..

  8. He wasn't asking for user donations on Help Bandwidth Starved Slashdot at LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    He was looking for companies to sponsor the trip in trade for advertising.

  9. re: Advertising on Ask Slashdot: How can Free Web Service Recoup Costs? · · Score: 1

    Not to slight your site, but 12000 unique users per month isn't really enough to reach that critical mass where advertisers start jumping on.

    If you were getting 12000 page views per day (with mostly, although not necessarily 100% unique users), then you'd be in a real jumping off position.

    But 12000 unique users a month is only 400 per day, which is usually too little for a company that might advertise to waste time doing paperwork with.

  10. Duh... on Ask Slashdot: How can Free Web Service Recoup Costs? · · Score: 1

    That also assumes you're selling 100% of your ads (I assume you're assuming that, correct me if I misassumed regarding your possible assumption) ;)

    Most sites sell like 30% of their ads.

  11. Article NOT good on NYT covers WINE · · Score: 1

    Well, you kinda have to let the NYT off the hook on that one, as the Wine FAQ does say Windows Emulator...

  12. Hilights power of open development. on NYT covers WINE · · Score: 1

    They'd have a dozen other backups, both on tapes and on other systems around the world.

  13. FUD? on SunWorld Explains *bsd · · Score: 1

    Don't accuse the BSD supports of FUD -- first, that's a SunWorld article. Second, neither of those is FUD. The first is an observation, one which isn't particularly harmful/insulting. The second is arguing /against/ the usual "support support!" FUD.

    Please read more carefully.
