  1. Re:SCO and Chucky Cheese's on SCO Expands Licensing Money Chase Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Ooh! Ooh! What about Smartees? I like Smartees! How many SCOs for those?

  2. Re:Send a CD to SCO on Debian World Domination Plan · · Score: 1

    Don't, because then they'll claim they own all GPL'ed software.

  3. I think he just said... on Debian World Domination Plan · · Score: 1

    I think he just said "RTFS"

  4. Re:As a lowly engineer... on Mars Rover Sniffs First Hint of Water? · · Score: 1

    Who's to say the martians don't live on nitrogen or uranium or plaine old red rocks? Or that they don't thrive on some yet undiscovered stuff.

    When looking for a needle in a haystack, it's helpful to know what a needle looks like.

    I've occasionally read speculation on non-carbon life forms, but if you're not even sure it can exist then how can you look for it?

    That's my guess as to why we're looking for water/carbon based life.

  5. Re:Without Vorbis, it is useless to *me* on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 1

    l00z3R! My reel-to-reel 0wnz joo!!

    (That's much less funny now that I've typed it; hell, karma barbecue time)

  6. Re:Spirit vs Beagle on Spirit Rover Lands Successfully · · Score: 1

    I appreciate your attitude. However, don't be too hard on the Beagle mission; America (well, NASA) has more experience. Others will catch up; the space race is on again!

  7. Re:CNN on Spirit Rover Lands Successfully · · Score: 1

    I actually jumped on the NASA TV web stream about 40 minutes before landing. I figured I'd get to keep my stream, but my signal got lost just after the "bounces" and they quit receiving tone. Argh how frustrating, but I was able to flip between CNN and FoxNews and listen past the annoying dumb reporters a bit. Of course when the mission crew started jumping, clapping and going wild I figured they got the signal back.

  8. Re:Can be done WAY cheaper on Pluto: Linux-based Do-everything System · · Score: 1

    and would also likely result in a FreePluto project

    Good idea, especially since Willy died.

  9. Re:Hmm on Pluto: Linux-based Do-everything System · · Score: 1

    Good point. For that I can hire someone to entertain me, operate the VCR and turn my lights on and off. Hell, in this economy I can probably find someone who will throw in web design and hosting, too.

  10. Your Wish Come True! on Pluto: Linux-based Do-everything System · · Score: 1

    You only need this add-on. (Not safe for work!) Oh, and don't miss the illustrations. (Definitely not safe for work!)

  11. Slashdot's Covered This Before on Automagic No-Fly-Zone Enforcement · · Score: 1

    SoftWalls was mentioned back in July. I won't cry "dupe", though, since I haven't read this article and it sounds like there's more happening with it now.

  12. Re:Imagine. on You've Got Spam: AOL Blocks 1/2 Trillion Spam · · Score: 1

    Though it makes my head hurt to see Jerry Stiller and Snoop Dogg in a commercial together. That's just wrong on so many diffferent levels...

    SERENITY NOW!

  13. CORRECTION on Finding MD5 Collisions With Chinese Lottery · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obviously, since a string can be an almost infinite length, there has *got* to be collisions somewhere, but so far, no one has found any.

    Correction: No one has reported any. I, uh, have a friend--yeah, that's it--who found a few collisions but is afraid to report them because it always occurs between his beastiality files and his lengthy and frequent poetic love letters to some girl who claims he's stalking her.

  14. gogole.com???? on Finding MD5 Collisions With Chinese Lottery · · Score: 1

    after reading the entire Usenet thread

    Domain gogole.com? Well, it seems to work and looks like Google.... Yup, whois verifies it. Guess they decided to use those anti-immitation registered domains.

  15. Re:Hey Sarge... on Finding MD5 Collisions With Chinese Lottery · · Score: 1

    must....resist....logging...in....

    (He's right! And it's worse, but I won't say what's worse.)

  16. Re:Question on Mars Rovers On Final Approach · · Score: 3, Funny

    I agree, but it's somewhat disturbing that the person's name is "Segfault". :-)

  17. Re:I for one.. on Mars Rovers On Final Approach · · Score: 1

    You can't teach a new dog old tricks.

    I suddenly got a mental image of a beagle sitting on the barren wasteland surface of Mars...maybe they should've named the probe Spike.

  18. Re:Isn't it about time for a Live-DVD? on PCLinuxOS 2K4: Mandrake Meets The Live CD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Try a Google search for Knoppix DVD. I'd provide a link, but I'm not sure which one to give you. It seems to be more of a grass roots effort than an official release, though. And there was a comment by Klaus in German that, with the help of babel fish, sounds like there's an issue with cloop files over 4GB in cloop versions 0.68 and earlier. So it sounds like he has in mind DVD with compression, but some of the Knoppix fans think like you and want an uncompressed DVD.

  19. BitTorrent? on PCLinuxOS 2K4: Mandrake Meets The Live CD · · Score: 1

    Okay, sounds cool, I wanna try it, but I expect this 33k download rate won't last. Anyone have a bittorrent link?

  20. Re:Security ? on Savannah Back Online With Extra Security · · Score: 1

    Debian backported the security fixes to its stable release of 1.3.26. I seem to be too tired to find a relevant link to support this. Sorry. I'm also too lazy to verify that Savannah is running Debian, but it's a pretty safe assumption I think.

  21. Re:Ogg Vorbis on Rumors of Mini iPods · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Time for Ogg Vorbis support too, don't you think?

    From our point of view, yes. But from Apple, I wonder if a cheap 2 or 4GB iPod will be iTunes music only?

    Just a thought.

  22. Re:Why buy an ipod on Rumors of Mini iPods · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tsk, tsk. Setting up the web interface for any self respecting geek takes just a few minutes. The rest of the week is getting the PHP, PNG, SVG and--in some cases--Flash to look just right and self-adjusting to every mp3 you have.

    And you left out the time for decorative case modding.

  23. Re:Heat? on Cube House · · Score: 1

    Heat? Forget the heat. I'm wondering who he can blame the farts on now.

  24. Re:This is true for more than just this scream on History of a Famous Star Wars Scream · · Score: 1

    I noticed that, too. I found it very distracting; it took me out of the RotK world for a moment and annoyed me.

    It distracts me in other movies, too, although I don't mind it as much in Lucas films because before now I thought it was kind of a Lucasfilm tribute or something like that.

    I haven't noticed other repeat sound effects, though. I'm not sure why the Wilhelm stands out.

  25. Re:Mozilla Has this on Microsoft Looks At Integrating Forums and E-mail · · Score: 1

    Heck, even Netscape 4.x had the threded email view.

    I haven't seen Lotus Notes mentioned yet, but I'm fairly sure it was designed largely as the article summary describes. (No I didn't RTFA)
