  1. Uhm on Making Ice Cream With Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do not try this at home. You might get fat.

  2. Re:Testing, testing, testing on Syllable's Kristian Van Der Vliet Interview · · Score: 1

    Sure, but... my posting was meant as a joke. I don't question your competence. Really. Good luck.

  3. Potential problem on Truck Stops Get Wireless Internet · · Score: 4, Funny
    Truck drivers may become geeks, hence reducing the efficency of our infrastructure.

    So, in a few years time, if that package you ordered takes a loooong time to get delivered... you know why. The friggin' truck driver is reading /.

  4. Re:Sounds cool, but... on Syllable's Kristian Van Der Vliet Interview · · Score: 3, Insightful
    "So we have yet another hobby OS with some very good ideas that will never end up going mainstream. After checking the site out, nothing they're doing couldn't be done on top of a BSD or Linux based kernel (with modification ofcourse). This would have solved their hardware problems, and given them a fully working OS to start from, progams and all."

    What's the fun in that?

    "What we excel at though is that we are always designing Syllable with an eye towards the end user. "

    Why, then, is Syllable an ugly looking, instable OS?

    Oh, he explains that later on:

    "We are very poor at testing before we release things, [...]"

    So good luck with your OS, Mr. Van Der Vliet.

  6. Tools of the Trade on TCP/IP Connection Cutting On Linux Firewalls · · Score: 1

    Soon we'll have to add "cutting" to the hacker's dictionary. And, sorry to say, the cracker's dictionary.

  7. i.R.Baboon on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: -1, Redundant

    iThis and iThat... When will we see i.R.Baboon? on a Mac? (i.e. something like an Encarta competitor)

  8. Next years competition... on University of Wisconsin Wins FutureTruck Competition · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...should be FutureLinux. To improve corporate economy and better code emissions while maintaining or exceeding customer expectations.

  9. Linus' stuff? on Settling SCOres · · Score: 4, Insightful
    "The crunch, however, is a function of the scheduler, which is, over a length of about 60 lines, indeed identical except for slight differences. In this section, there is also a whole lot of corresponding comments. Comparable similarity can only be found in one routine of the memory management, which is, however, only in the Linux version accompanied by comments."

    I'm pretty sure that Linus "wrote" this; this is kernel stuff, right?

  10. For good senior developers... on 12/7 and Overtime on a Salary? · · Score: 1

    ...jobs are not hard to find.

  11. Operaaaaaaaa on Ximian Desktop 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    XD2's good. It would be even better if they called up the Opera folks in Norway to make a nice little bundle together. Perhaps even a XD2 Special Edition Opera, with the appropriate style?

  12. Fishing on On the Gripping Hand · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, once they get out a waterproof version, I'll program one to catch fish. Yum, yum. Can't wait.

  13. 1000+ cluster? on Maintaining Large Linux Clusters · · Score: 1

    Running rpm --rebuilddb must be a real drag.

  14. Re:Fight against terrorism on The Buttocks Have It · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid the counter measure would be fairly simple: metal underwear. Perhaps the NASS detector should be a metal detector as well?

  15. Fight against terrorism on The Buttocks Have It · · Score: 3, Funny

    The battle against terrorism has taken a new turn, exploting the Nervous AsS Syndrom (a.k.a. NASS).

  16. Scary on Lockheed Martin to Build Nuclear Powered Spacecraft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Soon we'll have radioactive foam falling on our heads.

  17. Boiling on European MP Responds on Software Patents · · Score: 5, Funny
    " If the appalling mixture of misrepresentation, non sequitur, solecism and faux-naivete does not make your blood boil,"

    That sentence was enough to make my blood boil.

  18. They should ask my girlfriend for help on The Nanotech Nose: Towards A Smaller Future · · Score: 4, Funny

    She can detect weight fluctuations of 2.5 femtograms!

  19. My opinion? on Jackpot - James Gosling's Latest Project · · Score: 2, Informative
    Gosling + Martin Fowler = Jackpot! If you didn't know, Fowler is THE refactoring guy. They should team up.

    Now, put this support straight into emacs and I'll be happy.

  20. Re:Q-what? on QBASIC Programming for Dummies · · Score: 1
    "Wait, but qbasic does not require line number and it supports text-labels! Your post should file under 'GWBasic for dummies' or 'BASICA for dummies'... :-) (It will run fine, though.)"

    Hey, I wouldn't write a "QBASIC SUCKS" program in QBASIC, now would I? Of course it's GWBasic ;-)

  21. Re:Coming up next on Slashdot Book Reviews... on QBASIC Programming for Dummies · · Score: 1
    >>"Making your own Apple I keyboard in 21 days"
    >>"Changing Vacuum Tubes in your ENIAC for Dummies"
    >>"4004 Assembly Made Easy"

    What is this? A post to the prototype of usenet that got lost in the seventies, but that now have magically found its way through an electronic wormhole to /. ?

  22. Q-what? on QBASIC Programming for Dummies · · Score: 4, Funny
    "The book started off making me feel stupider than I actually am."

    I would feel pretty stupid actually reading a QBASIC book in 2003. Modern programming languages are easier to learn than QBASIC.

    In short:
    10 PRINT "QBASIC SUCKS"
    20 GOTO 10

    "I don't know who modded you insightful, but you are not. You state the obvious."

    I know people who would disagree with you on that one.
