  1. Save a Franc or two? on France Considers Open Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't you mean Euro?

  2. It's going to overheat on Enterprise-class Car Audio · · Score: 1

    There's no airflow back there and that cardboard top doesn't help. I've got an SGI Indy with a 36gb 10k drive in it that raises my room temp about 5 degrees. The drive itself takes 5 to 10 minutes just to cool down before you can touch it.

  3. Re:Criminals aren't the only ones! on California Initiative to Expand DNA Database · · Score: 1

    If being nearly 26 and posting on slashdot is survival I guess so.

  4. Re:Online docs are a good thing... on GrokDoc Goes Live; All GNU/Linux Newbies Welcome · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can leada newb to docs, but you can't make them read.

  5. Re:Not clear cut, more information is required. on California Initiative to Expand DNA Database · · Score: 1

    All they have to do is swab the envelopes for DNA just like they do on TV.

  6. Re:Criminals aren't the only ones! on California Initiative to Expand DNA Database · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you think that's bad, my mom made my dad give her a DNA sample before she would have his kid!

  7. Re:Eheh on Matsushita Designed Sleep Room · · Score: 1

    That only sounds like a lot because many of us are lazy Americans.

  8. Re:Hosers on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 1

    The guys on the Microsoft Outlook/Office support line in Nova Scotia sound pretty close to that. It sounds like they say Microsoft Oatlook.

  9. Re:Neuros Audio on iPod May Not Have The Horsepower For Ogg [updated] · · Score: 1

    Myself as well.

    In unison: HA HA!

  10. Old stuff on Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today · · Score: 1

    I've been seeing Windows ads in Unix/Linux magazines for years. Slashdot runs Vstudio.net ads all the time.

  11. Another source on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    Just cruise through Hollywood or LA and see if the lipo-doctors had any left over fat for you to use in your car.

  12. Re:Great... on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    I think we all need to use Castor oil then we can export the spent castor beans to foreign countries to they can use it to make Ricin to use back against us for no longer buying their oil.

  13. Re:Xfree86 is dying. on Slackware Chooses X.org Server Over XFree86 · · Score: 1

    I'm not 100% sure but I think it is be able to tell the X protocol version if you are running XDMCP.

  14. Xfree86 is dying. on Slackware Chooses X.org Server Over XFree86 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Today Nmap confirmed that Xfree86 is dying....

    (Someone had to do it)

  15. Re:No for transitioners I guess. on First Looks At PCI-X, BTX, New Chipsets, And More · · Score: 1

    I demand no less than 8 slots total! Whatever happened to the good old days?

  16. No for transitioners I guess. on First Looks At PCI-X, BTX, New Chipsets, And More · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I too got yanked in to the PCI-X =/= PCI-Express dupe. I was looking forward to backwards compatability so that companies could just start spewing forth their wares and normal PCI board users could still use them. Plus current cards would still work. Someone in someone's marketing dept needs to be shot. BTW, 'splain those little slots? They remind me of the failed CNR idea. Better yet, for a transition (though more expensive) they could do what they did with PCI/ISA, double the slots PCI next to PCI-Exp.

  17. Backpacks don't work. on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    A group of Budhists kicked my ass and took my laptop. Worse of all they ruined my My Little Pony limited edition backpack!

  19. He had to say war. on Build Your Own Model B-52 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Lets all just have a nice slashdot discussion without bringing any current or future wars into the mix, ok?

  20. Re:Other mini-itx vendors? on Sneak Preview of VIA's next-gen mini-ITX mobo · · Score: 1

    Go to mini-itx.com there's several other vendors.

  21. MIcrosoft already knew it. on Gartner: Linux Servers Booming · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When I worked there, there were posters saying that if each MS employee converted 5 linux servers to 5 windows servers that MS could finally outsell linux in the server market. I SO wanted to take a picture of it but I didn't want to get caught.

  22. Still too slow on Sneak Preview of VIA's next-gen mini-ITX mobo · · Score: 1

    Mini-ITX is nice, but I think VIA needs to come out with something that can compete with other Mini-ITX vendors using Pentium4, Pentium-M or Athlon.

  23. Re:Can the noise be more predictable? on BYU Project to Silence Computer Fans · · Score: 1

    Despite what the submitter said, the link works without registering. I had mod points but I figured I'd just mention it rather than mod.

  24. What about a buy-in project? on Rendering Shrek@Home? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Allow movie companies access to the virtual farm at a rate of 1 cent per frame or something like that. Then the person who renders the frame or who has contributed X number of render units has the option to have the micropayments sent to a charity, open source project or site of their choosing.

  25. 300$ doesn't mean large scale. on Large-Scale Paper-To-Digital Conversion? · · Score: 1

    That's a PERSONAL scanner. You need something like this

    I'm telling you don't go for the cheap route for something like this. I've worked at several companies that generate and scan in thousands of invoices per person per day. They used some heavy leased Bell+Howell scanners with software called Documentum which provided a browser frontend to the invoices. Similar to what google does to PDF files. You could search text (even handwritten IIRC) and display the documents in your browser and print them.
