    Hell, if they need a list of websites, why don't they just do a google search?

  2. Re:Plan B on UK Demands Sourcecode for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1
    Plan B involves raising the dead and having them attack the living.

    ...or is that Plan 9?

    is it really worth purchasing a cell-based blade server for several thousand dollars when sony is going to sell cell-based consoles for $500?

    I'd recommend omitting step 4 and letting nature take its course. It's a widely known fact that people who commit suicide become social workers in the afterlife.

    RMS would most likely tell you that the GPL is not an "open source" license. It's a "free software" license.

    Digg will need a Troll Culture before it will compare to slashdot.

    However, if the person was an asshole. they play upbeat music to celebrate the fact that the decesed is now in hell.

    Also, do you really know that the patents were invalid?

    This is slashdot. No one here actually believes in valid patents.

    the seas will be 35' higher, which will be the end of the world for the majority of humans

    Sure it will suck for companies that insure beach-front properties, but for those of us living in the right locations, global warming will only move us closer to the beach and increase our property value.

    Shouldn't norton know if the machine is infected and not terminate the connection when the malware isn't present?

    Were the machines with wierd date stamps having hardware clock issues?

    Although that is possible, it seems that an electronic voting machine should refuse to let any votes be cast before election day. A machine with a bad clock should have rejected any attempts to vote with it.

  15. Re:This is surprising how? on Will MacIntel Kill Apple Open Source Efforts? · · Score: 1

    It makes sense. Aqua is pretty much CDE with drop shadows. I'm kind of suprised there was never a law suit between the two.

  16. Re:OS X vs. Linux desktop on Will MacIntel Kill Apple Open Source Efforts? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I ran OS X for several months on my iBook before switching it over to gentoo. For me, the biggest issues were usability (OS X looks nice but is often very counter-intuitive) and software installation (3rd party OS X packaging systems seemed to think that software belongs in a fake root directory).

  17. Re:It won't be that confusing to retail buyers on Microsoft Vista Info Leaked · · Score: 4, Funny
    Since Vista Ultimate Edition is probably only for the uber-geek

    Software wise, it's actually identical to the Starter Edition, but it comes with a frisbee. I think they're targeting the stoner audience.

  18. Re:Program Naming on A Look at GNOME 2.14 · · Score: 1

    Most of those programs are named by selecting random letters and squishing them together. In fact, there is even a program to simplify the task. It used to be called "GNAMER", but then decided that it should go by "SPDFRAFR" instead.

  23. Re:Actually, ... on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1
    Hello,

    I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2005. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

    I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

    In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.

    INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY: Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Wednesday August 6th at (exactly 5:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me. I will not be there prior to 4:45pm EST, so do not transport before then.

    Item is to be delivered at (out of service tennis court) located at: Latitude N 42.47935 & Longitude W 071.17355 and the Elevation is 119. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!! I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SEND IT SO THAT THEY CANNOT REDIRECT IT??? If in doubt do not transport actual unit until your method of transfer can be confirmed as a success. You just might need to send a intergalactic courier to deliver item safely to me. If so be VERY careful at how they approach me IN MY WHITE CAR.

    After unit has been delivered please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

    Thank You

    Sorry for the nitpicking, but I see quite a few BMW's around town, and I know there aren't that many Macs around town.

    I think the analogy was meant to reflect the fact that they're overpriced.
