  1. 3rd Player? on S3's DeltaChrome Graphics Chip · · Score: 3, Informative

    Are we forgetting about the Matrox Parhelia?

  2. Re:Java vs. .Net on Java vs .NET · · Score: 1

    .NET works on *nix. Not perfectly, but Mono is getting way better with every release. While I seriously doubt Microsoft would ever write a .NET Framework for any other OS, I do expect Mono to kick off .NET usage in other places.

  3. Re:A dumb question on Self-Parking Car Available In Japan · · Score: 1

    Really? When I took my driving test a year ago parking wasn't on it.

  4. XFS Support? on How To Upgrade Linux To The 2.6 Kernel · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if there is XFS support built in vanilla, or when a patch is coming? :)

  5. Re:Why are they running Windows then? on Can .NET Really Scale? · · Score: 1

    tis okay, spamassassin does wonders ;)

  6. Re:Why are they running Windows then? on Can .NET Really Scale? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Windows is only one burnt CD, redhat is like 3. thus, linux costs more!

  7. Re:Doesn't surpise me... on Olmos Tells Fans: "Don't Watch Galactica" · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They did a pretty damned good job with Dune.

    Godzilla 2003: SCO vs Godzilla

  9. Re:Linux? on Japan To Do Payroll On Linux · · Score: 1

    A more viable way to spell it would be "Rinikusu"

  10. Watch out japan! on Japan To Do Payroll On Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it possible for SCO to sue a country?

  11. Whoa there on X11 in ASCII · · Score: 5, Funny

    menu shadows in GTK, and X11 in ascii- what dumb idea will we come up with next, the Windows UI in linux?

    oh, wait...

  12. So we can spy on them? on UN Recommends WiFi for Poor Countries · · Score: 2, Insightful

    See topic. 'Nuff said.

  13. Ehem.. on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    "Computers are better," the 9-year-old says, blonde pony tail bobbing behind her. "With typing, you don't have to erase when you make a mistake. You just hit delete, so it's a lot easier."
    Such attitudes are worrying to a growing number of parents, educators and historians, who fear that computers are speeding the demise of a uniquely American form of expression. Handwriting experts fear that the wild popularity of e-mail, instant messages and other electronic communication, particularly among kids, could erase cursive within a few decades.


    Yes, because we all know erasing misspellings is unique to Americans. Most people I know are too lazy to erase and end up crossing errors out, including me. Must not be one of the unique

  14. Erm.. no. on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When this first came up on the awards, I laughed. But then gollum quickly started cussing up a storm and it ruined the humor and turned it to annoyance. Saying negative things against LOTR I'm sure I'll get modded to hell and back for this ;)

  15. Bittorrent Links on President Of India Advocates OSS · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Fileplanet is excruciating with their wait times. Anyone have bittorrent links?

  16. downloaded, now what? on Nullsoft's Waste: Encrypted, Distributed, Mesh Net · · Score: -1, Redundant

    okay i've downloaded it. now how the hell do I connect to someone else and start talking?

  17. Re:my $0.02 review on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    my take was that the "hammer" ship was sending out EMPs which gave neo the weird feeling and caused the meanies to short before killing him.

  18. Re:nmap used for hax0ry in Matrix: Reloaded!! on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 2, Interesting

    cool thing is that really happens in the movie.

  19. I saw it a few hours ago. on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    I stood in line for 3hr to get good seats for the first showing (read a Java book in the time). Lets just say Reloaded was /much/ overrated. The graphics okay and all, but it isn't anything ultra-cool like the first brought (except for the completely CG fight scenes..). There are a few blatantly noticable errors also- the biggest imho being the lack of a driver in the car the agent smashes up (it's in the trailer too). The storyline is kinda blah, and it ends rather abruptly almost like they couldn't find a place to end it. This one is a lot more sex oriented too- within the first 30min there are at least 3 scenes of it. Also this one is plagued by the "funny black guy" syndrom that for some reason is popular in movies for comic relief.

    That was my take on the movie at least.. sure I'll get modded to hell for saying bad things about the matrix.

  20. ah crap.. on Howard Schmidt Resigns As Cybersecurity Advisor · · Score: 0, Redundant

    well, there goes national security.

  21. What about the source? on Building a Bigger Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Okay, i found the source at sourceforge CVS. unfortunately, all the files checked in are >4 months old. If this is under the GPL, where the hell is the source for the binaries they are putting out?

  22. just one more step to world domination on Microsoft Also Wants Universal Music? · · Score: 5, Funny

    is there anything microsoft isn't in? they are beginning to reach pokemon status in saturation, all they need to do now is have pasta noodles shaped like the m$ symbol.

  23. Much higher... on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 1

    I have 2mbit cable, better than a T1. When i go on anything less it reminds me of the 14.4 days. Now, if they proposed T1-C style 3mbit being broadband, i'd be very happy hehe :)

  24. wow on New RFC Adds "Evil Bit" · · Score: 1

    wow, now we are even duping the jokes. must be a slow day for news eh?
