  1. Re:Worldwide results on The Votemaster Is...Andrew Tanenbaum · · Score: 1

    Saddam shot at US planes that patrolled the no fly zone. That legally gave us the right to use military force against him.

  2. Re:Worldwide results on The Votemaster Is...Andrew Tanenbaum · · Score: 1

    Do you realize what happened on 9/11, and why it happened?

    Because people like Bin Laden are able to brainwash young people into doing stupid things. I don't care what Bin Laden's cause is. The fact that his people have killed a few thousand americans in the US makes all his reasoning invalid to me.

  3. Re:You think the candidates have it tough.... on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    Any friend of the elephant is a friend of mine.

  4. Re:No on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    Only on Slashdot would facts be called "Flamebait"

  5. Re:Prior Art on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dander is skin cells not hair.

  6. Re:Cheating? on Mac OS X Panther On A 25MHz Centris 650 · · Score: 2, Informative

    The said thing is you get to cheat on the PC, there is a highly optimized emulation layer for x86. Running the standard C emulation layer is about 50 times slower. Which is what this mac had to do. I actually compiled an partially ran PearPC on an UltraSparc running Solaris. It gets partly through the boot and then either gets a segfault or bus error (I forget which). Still was exciting to see it work.

  7. Re:NY Times Ad... on Big Day For Browser Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Even moreso if they include a link to the Firefox extension that generates fake logins for NyTimes and other sites.

  8. Cantenna on Hot-Rodding A Bluetooth Adapter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bluetooth uses the ISM band just like 802.11B/G so a Cantenna would work. (Haven't read the article yet)

  9. Re:Real VNC on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 1

    All VNCs support that. Nice to access your desktop from any computer with Java. (Adminning Windows servers from Solaris or Mac OS9)

  10. Re:Public needs to change to make the change... on Firefox Seeks Full Page Ad in New York Times · · Score: 2, Informative

    This happened to me before. It was because I had the adblock extension loaded. Yahoo distributes some ads from the same servers their content comes from.

  11. Ok, did he file a bug report? on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 1

    Assuming he used Mozilla, did he file a report in Bugzilla?

  12. Anyone seen the Nodebook? (their notebook) on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 1

    Here

    This actually looks just like a cross between an apple laptop and a tadpole ultrasparc notebook.

  13. Re:How to put this... on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Many Cray systems used 21164 chips. The performance was just fantastic.

  14. Re:How is this diffrent? on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 1

    Nuclear waste can be processed to retrieve a large amount of reusable material, however thanks to President Jimmy Carter we are not allowed to do it. So it gets buried in giant caves for zillions of years. (Ok, not zillions) An average nuclear plant produces 3 cubic meters of waste per megawatt year of operation. So basically a 9 foot cube.

  15. I'm willing... on Senate Wants Database Dragnet · · Score: -1, Troll

    To give up some liberties, just to watch the Slashdot community writhe. Ha ha ha!

  16. That explains a lot on Dell Recalls Millions of AC Adaptors · · Score: 1

    That's why I keep sending them back. They get too hot to hold.

  17. Distcc node on Rehabilitating Damaged Laptops · · Score: 1

    I have a Dell C600 laptop mobo bought off ebay because it had a snapped off power port. I did some soldering and managed to get it to run from within a dock. Now it functions as a DistCC node on my network.

  18. Damn! on Part Of The Patriot Act Shot Down · · Score: 1

    That was my favorite part. This affects the average citizen ZERO and it helps the FBI do their job of protecting citizens from threats on US soil.

  19. Just use Languard on Curing a Corporate Virus Infection · · Score: 1

    Portscan your entire network, it can also probe what things you are vulnerable and gives direct download links to the patches for each machine.

  20. Re:Your vote is Dubya's Vote? on Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb · · Score: 1

    More correctly not a +1 Bush but a -1 Kerry. That being said. Vote Green!!!!!

  21. I've used somethign similar about 5 or 6 years ago on AOL Moves Beyond Single Passwords for Log-Ons · · Score: 1

    The company that I was working for had little devices similar to that (They called them Token Cards) that would display a new code each time you pressed the button. It was a financial institution and they used it to protect their dial-up lines from people. They entered the code like this password*hashfromdevice.

  22. Foreign policy on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know of a few people that would love to vote for you but are voting for Bush because they see a lack of a foreign policy in the libertarian party. How can you show America that if another 9/11 style attack occurs that we will be able to respond? Also over the years nearly everyone I've talked to that said they were voting for a Libertarian gave the reason "Because they want to legalize weed" but had nothing more to say than that and knew nothing of the other policies. Do you feel that takes credibility away from the party?

  23. Re:Similar TI DSP has GCC on Neuros Audio Firmware Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.elec.canterbury.ac.nz/c4x/ For the other thing, just search the neuros forum for gcc or c4x

  24. Similar TI DSP has GCC on Neuros Audio Firmware Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    There is a slightly older TI DSP (predecessor to this one IIRC) that has a GCC chain already. According to one of the people in the forums, it isn't compatable though.

  25. Re:Consequences? on SHA-0 Broken, MD5 Rumored Broken · · Score: 1

    IIRC a P690 sounds like an IBM RS/6000.
