  1. Re:Not now..... on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 1

    It notably does not use fossil fuels in the process.

    It'll never make it in this country. Bush and Cheney will make sure their funding gets pulled. :-)?


    That's easy enough. We just need to fight big oil with big corn.

  2. Re:9 pounds?! on Dell's Gaming Monster · · Score: 4, Funny

    At nine pounds thats the cheapest machine I've seen in ages - or are we not all talking British?

    Nah the british couldn't figure out how to make it leak oil.

  3. Re:I know Fedora is supposed to be bleeding edge on Fedora Core 2 test1 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    but isn't including GNOME 2.5 (a development version) a little, un-savery?

    Actually Gnomes with a little butter, rosemary and garlic can be quite savory.

  4. RANT on Scientists Claim They Cloned Humans · · Score: 1

    OT: Please use meaningful article titles. I saw this article on news sites yesterday but I clicked the link because I thought this was something different. This isn't tabloid journalism.

  5. Lightspeed limitations? on Intel Devises Chip Speed Breakthrough · · Score: 4, Funny

    So now the only barrier is the speed of light? Or do I need a nice warp core sitting in my living room to overclock?

  6. I just want more stuff for Solaris on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Which is why I'm working on getting gentoo portage going for Solaris. Portaris!

    If you feel you habe some ideas that could help with this mini project, feel free to join in!

  7. I'll just use this on Curse Your Way to Live Support · · Score: 1

  8. Re:MSN messenger? Yes....apparently on MyDoom.C Making Its Way Across The Net · · Score: 1

    I've been having trouble connecting to it since the middle of last week. And I work for MS! So what's the official answer? Dunno, it's MSN's baby.

  9. Re:Sounds similar to something from Australia on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 1

    Well I had heard about it, but never the movie.

  10. Re:Sounds similar to something from Australia on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 1

    I think I might get some customized checks with the goatse man on them, I wonder how many would be cashed?

  11. Sounds similar to something from Australia on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There was something several years ago about a company with a money back offer if you weren't pleased with their porn / product (I forget which) and they issued a check from something like "Anal Rape and Masturbation company" and they made a bunch of money because everyone was too embarassed to cash the check. I think it might have even been on Slashdot.

  12. Paint everything on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: 1

    Including your Hummer and all of the busses that go around. Then the problems will solve themselves!

  13. Re:Just look over your shoulder! on Radar For Safer Driving · · Score: 1

    I do that and still have trouble seeing some people. They seem to like to line up with my door post and make if very difficult.


    My biggest driving grip is no one uses signals anymore (indicate for the british among us). They just hook their wheel violently into the other lane. I guess that they don't realize that 9 times out of 10, the person to the left or right will let you in if you signal, but I'll be damned if i'm going to let you in if you're not signalling.

  14. Traceroute on Congress Eyes Whois Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Then just contact the next to the last person and subpoena the records about who the customer is.

  15. Christ people! on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 4, Informative

    How many people are going to say sniff and repeat the sequence. You still have to get through the service after it opens. The whole point is that they don't know what is going on in the first place. And rotating keys are a good idea anyway. I like this idea for running some kind of server behind your ISP that normally doesn't allow such things. When I had excite@home I would regularly get firewall logs that said "authorizedscan.home.com" portscanning me.

  16. Re:Death to magnetic stripes on Decode Your Barcode, Get Your Personal Info · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I doubt killing the stripe is going to cause a big deal anyway. All they have to do is run your license number (or SSN, which is the same in many states)

    I think this info is more along the lines of offline data. So in the instance that their database is down, they can still get some general data on you. Also, those 2d barcodes... Anyone remember the old Macintosh magazines that had those in the back and you scanned them in for free programs?

  17. Mac OSX? on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    If it has a PPC and you know someone WILL get Linux to run on it. You could have your cheap Mac On Linux box running OSX.

  18. I've got it! on Author signs MyDoom virus · · Score: 3, Funny

    Andy Tenenbaum, he's still mad at Linus. And he wants Linux to look bad by accepting money from SCO to write a virus that attacks them in the name of Linux.

  19. Re:Censorship? on Answers On LUGs, Life, and Linux in Iraq · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I am wondering how controlled their access is to the web after Saddam's fall.

    I suspect some people are seeing what a caucasian female looks like naked for the very first time.

  20. Re:It's called MD5 (?) on Digital Camera Image Verification · · Score: 1

    does this take into account rotating the images if the camera doesn't automatically do it when you take a portrait vs a landscape?

    You can rotate in image in an image viewer without modifying it. But in a court room, they usually print the pictures out. In that case, rotate them manually using your thumb and forefinger. ;)

  21. Re:The All Time Dumbest Is... on The 101 Dumbest Moments in Business · · Score: 1

    Anyone with half a brain should be able to decide in much less than a second to buy Coke in 12 packs from then on.

    What you don't just swipe them from work?

  22. Stop sending me back the e-mail! on Anti-Virus Companies: Tenacious Spammers · · Score: 1

    I get mad when they send me back a "copy" of the original e-mail + virus.

    A copy of the original e-mail is included. email.txt 153KB

    My throw-away account on Yahoo is always full with "Delivery Failed" 153KB and I have to keep clearing it out every 2 days or it becomes useless for doing it's designed job. Being my spam trap for websites that require my e-mail.

  23. Well duh! on A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    why are over half of Carnegie Mellon's highest-rated programming companies Indian?

    Because they will work cheaper than anyone in the US?

  24. Re:Sacrilege! on Macintosh 2004 Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Floppies are so last millenium. I downloaded an "iso" of the whole thing.

  25. Re:Superbowl?! on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whats the Superbowl???

    You obviously have slashdot confused with google.
