  1. it will eat all the water on Organism Uses Solar Energy to Produce Hydrogen · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is what the Martians did and look what it did to the water on their planet!!

  2. you need something like LoadRunner on Software QA and Load Testing Solutions? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The closest open source testing tool I have found, that resembles Load Runner the most is OpenSTA: http://opensta.org/

  3. Re:definitely go with Redhat on Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vs. Redhat Enterprise WS? · · Score: 1

    actually, you need advice from other developers who are developing on Linux... someone who actually has experience...

  4. definitely go with Redhat on Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vs. Redhat Enterprise WS? · · Score: 1

    Redhat has fewer packages and is a simpler distrobution. I would use that except that it lacks a few things that SUSE has.

    But if you want to avoid support headaches, then you might consider just using Knoppix 4.0 DVD edition with the UnionFS . Just have each of your users store files using UnionFS on a separate hard drive.

  5. Personally, I am not a fan of YAST2... on Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vs. Redhat Enterprise WS? · · Score: 0

    I think Redhat is much easier to change the window manager between KDE and Gnome...

  6. Re:Isn't it obvious? on Bittorrent Creator A Digital Pirate? · · Score: 1

    thats true. people should also realize that when Bram developed Bit Torrent, at that time is was "cool" to develop pirate P2P software. At that time there was not really a stigma about it since it was not known at the time that it would explode into such a huge deal. I think "EVERYONE" at the time was thinking the same way that Bram was.

  7. i would love to see a lawsuit on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I would love to see a lawsuit that could prove that Direct Revenue LLC is using illegal software as bait to inject their spyware....

    wouldn't it be illegal? think someone would sue?

  8. because Microsoft doesnt want them to on Why Don't Companies Release Specs? · · Score: 1

    a lot of hardware vendors dont provide full documentation probably because Microsoft doesnt want them to. the last thing they need is some linux hacker coming up with a competetive driver.

  9. Re:Forgotten intention of copyright on Extending Pop Music Copyrights · · Score: 1

    yes, but you forget that "expiration of copyright" was meant to protect the rest of us...

  10. one possible method on A DVD Jukebox Without the DVDs? · · Score: 1

    here is how I would imagine doing it:

    1. burn each DVD to an ISO image
    2. mount each ISO image to the filesystem
    3. figure out how to get MythTV to read them and show them in the menu and play them

  11. Re:two ideas on Who Should Help LinuxFund Distribute $126,155.29? · · Score: 1

    these ideas might be better than my "100 scholarships" idea...

  12. use the money for 100 scholarships on Who Should Help LinuxFund Distribute $126,155.29? · · Score: 1

    I say have a competition for scholarships. break the money into 100 pieces and then have a competition for 100 scholarships which are judged by hired judges (using some of the money)

    100 students going to school with Linux money WILL have an impact on the world... that is for sure...

  13. Re:Netscape is still a POS on Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML · · Score: 1

    no, that will not fix IE... neither will re-installing the IE components... its hosed... someone needs to post a fix so that I we can all fix this problem...

  14. NOW how do I FIX my IE XML rendering???? on Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML · · Score: 1

    Now that I have nuked my IE web browser XML rendering capability, does anyone know how to fix it?

    Re-installing the IE components did not work.

    Thanks if anyone can solve this. :-)

  15. dont install something to uninstall a trojan on Stopping Unstoppable Malware? · · Score: 1

    hey guys, its not really adviseable to install anti-spyware software in order to get rid of a specific trojan. what you might end up doing is installing something that disables your trojan but then it installs another trojan(s).

    i would recommend backing up your files, doing a windows re-install (takes 1-2 hours), install microsoft anti-spyware ONLY and then just being more careful in the future.

  16. a better answer on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "To work, to live, and to survive" is the "kindergarten" answer to this question. A more adult answer would be:

    3. Insight/Inspiration 2. To Learn, 1. Resources

  17. choose a school based on your major on Making the Transition to University? · · Score: 1

    my advice is to choose a school that matches your major. schools will put a higher percentage of monies into certain programs. to get your monies worth i suggest choosing a school who feels your major is their #1 program at their school. :-)

  18. you need real time web compression on Best Format for Archive Distribution? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    if you are making a site which is for people to download stuff from then why not use real-time web compression?

    1. your web server can display the un-compressed version of the file on the server , 2. then the user starts the download from the browser, 3. the webserver compresses it on the fly and delivers it to the browser which unzips it when its done.

    this saves you time from having to zip and unzip all the time and it SERVES your original purpose.

  19. Re:this article is SOOOO off topic! on In Need of Repatriation Advice? · · Score: 0, Troll

    the sad thing is that you actually think I care. LOL

    Slashdot is not the place to waste the time of the readers of this site with answering one persons personal question. That persons question should have been sent to a newsgroup or something and not broadcast to everyone. Its just a waste of time for the countless people who cannot relate to that persons problem.

  20. this article is SOOOO off topic! on In Need of Repatriation Advice? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Ok, in all the years I have been reading Slashdot, this is the most off-topic posting that I have ever seen. This is dumb.

  21. Mosquitos are attracted to CO2 from your breath on Why Mosquitoes Bother Some And Not Others · · Score: 1

    Everyone should know that mosquito repellent does not keep mosquitos from finding the area around you although it may keep them off your actual body.

    Mosquitos are attracted to the CO2 from your breath. They arent attracted to smell or blood or anything.

  22. Re:Kinda on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 1

    I think it would be cool if when Gallactica finally finds Earth, that there is a Star Trek base there and James T. Kirk is ready to kick some ass. Beam me aboard Starbuck!

  23. Re:Let's hope they never make it to Earth! on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 1

    I think that the new Battlestar Galactica show would be much improved by having them finally arrive at earth mid-season and then buckle down and get ready to fight...

    it would be cool if they got to earth and the earth had like 100 battlestars ready to go...

    would make for a very exciting show wouldnt it?

  24. Re:Okay on Le Guin Peeved About Earthsea Miniseries · · Score: 1

    The producers of the TV show have "no idea" of the mistake they have made by butchering these books. They could have made far far more money by following the story honestly.

  25. Modern education sunken to a new low on DJB Announces 44 Security Holes In *nix Software · · Score: 0, Troll

    So this is what we call modern education? Teachers are merely muses to encourage us to do work and they don't actually teach anymore? Sounds like a trade school to me. No teaching, just hands on experience. I wouldnt want to pay for school and then get that crap in return.
