  1. Re:Time zones were created to fix local noon on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    It's even more wrong. If you are still clumping several longitudes into one-hour blocks, you are still using time zones, they just all say the same time.

  2. Not that hard to avoid woes on Avoiding DMCA Woes As an Indy Game Developer? · · Score: 1

    Pac-Man is abstract. Fill in the blank: ____ runs through a maze [of ____] being chased by ______. Along the way he picks up _____. For example, in my game Mun Kee Run A monkey runs through a maze of an abandoned city being chased by zombies. Along the way he picks up bananas and shiny objects. Same concept, fresh artwork, no DMCA notice.

  3. Just send Sean Connery to take care of it. on Whose Laws Apply On the ISS? · · Score: 1

    He's done it before you know.

  4. Re:So... on Video of Wild Crow Tool Use Caught With Tail Cams · · Score: 1

    A crow with an axe isn't that worrying. A crow with an AK-47 on other hand...

  5. Re:Wait, Didn't praxis blow up? on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    We were waiting for you, man, and you let us down.

  6. Re:You miss the point on Little Red Book Draws Government Attention · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Hitler just killed people. That's okay. But don't fuck with our economic system!

  7. Re:Marketing idea on Microsoft's Nightmare Scenario · · Score: 1
    I always thought .NET sounded fishy.

    Hmm... catchy? fishy? You decide!

  8. Make science friendly on Pentagon Wants Screenplays From Scientists · · Score: 1

    What we need is "Buddy Einstein"!

  9. Free genuine windows on Microsoft Offers Compensation For Counterfeit OSes · · Score: 1

    Is this a reward or a punishment?

    Guess you'll just have to wait longer to get the basement to yourself...

  11. Re:What's the point? on Neverwinter Nights 2 Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    The editor? How about cleaning it up to not suck up the system resources and porting the GUI to linux and mac?

  12. Re:Make no mistake... on Rambus Files Antitrust Suit Against Memory Makers · · Score: 1
    The only novell aspect of their argument
    So the rest of their argument is pure sco?
  13. Re:IBM mouse with TrackPoint on Logitech Ships 500 Millionth Mouse · · Score: 1

    I have a IBM mouse with a wheel. It's the only wheel mouse I can stand. And IBM has the sense to put a metal plate in the mouse to give it a solid feel, like their Model M keyboards.

    Never tried an Amiga mouse, but I do have a special hatred for those Sun optical mice. Not only did you need that special mouse pad, but you had to make sure you pushed the mouse at the right angle, or else who knew where the pointer would go. Ick!

  14. Re:VMWare rules! on Desktop Linux Sliding in Under the Radar? · · Score: 1

    VMWare is very cool. I even installed the testdrive on box at home. Unfortunately, I haven't used it much. I can't think of any Windows software I want to run.

  15. Re:Obligatory SCO joke on Gnumeric Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    Oh shit! Did they buy VisiCalc?

  16. Re:Maintaining Existing Software on Outstanding Objects (Developed Dirt Cheap) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but if you do figure out what drugs the developer was on, it can be quite a mind-enhancing experience.

  17. Re:Just one thing I'd like to see... on New Mozilla-based Mail Client: Minotaur · · Score: 1

    Sylpheed has been my my email client of choice for some time now.

    It can completely disable message view on click, or minimize, or show.

  18. Re:Duh! is the only appropriate response on Negative Effects of Workplace Net Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Or in the words of a famous Mon Calamari:

    "It's a trap!"

  19. Re:.NET potability? on MS .net vs Mono, Open Source · · Score: 1

    I don't think .NET is very potable. I throw up every time I get near it.
