  1. Re:Coincidence? on Cray XD1 Now Available · · Score: 1

    We even have a way to power it now. Coincidence? I think not!

  2. Re:Nifty Caffeine Hack on Coffee is Addictive · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this is actually quite fun. Nothing like popping 400 or 500 mg of caffeine right before bed. I, however, don't get a nice night's sleep from this, but I'm absolutely loaded with energy when I wake up. The dreams are definitely vivid though!

  3. Re:When people stop watching them? on William Shatner to Star in New Reality TV Series · · Score: 1

    My faces is turning to horror realising he might put out another album...

  4. Re:hey felt one on Mt. St. Helens' Grumbling May Presage Eruption · · Score: 1

    A 6.0 can be felt several hundred miles away, depending on the makeup of the earth between the two points.

  5. Re:Tinfoil Hat Government. on Flash Mobs a Threat to Security? · · Score: 1

    I would learn how to use the locking feature on your phone.

  6. Compatibility. on New Version Of Ogg Audio Encoder · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Sometimes when I dance, I feel there is music in my feet. Could it be that my I'm wearing UGG/Boots? They're actually quite roomy, several liters of space, and all, and can hold lots of things. UGG sure does make a great container. Though they're not the most comfortable thing to wear... last time they gave me an open sor(c)e.

  7. Re:Yeah, but... on New Version Of Ogg Audio Encoder · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering that OGG is just a container format, the answer depends on what's inside that container.

  8. Re:I can see it now... on Google Local Launched In Canada · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a Canadian, let me say: I'm sorry.

  9. Ants on ICFP 2004 Programming Contest Results · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I, for one, was antsy to see the results!

  10. Free porn? on A Wi-Fi/VoIP Phone Booth In the Burning Man Desert · · Score: 5, Funny
    There's a page about the phone including details of building it and live experiences including totally non-gratuitous photos of naked people using technology. (There, that ought to stress-test my new server!)"

    Never underestimate the power of horny nerds.

    But I gotta ask... would this lower my 1-900 bills?

  11. Re:IBM... on The OS Community Embraces IBM · · Score: 2, Funny

    IBM's reponse to that list: I've been mocked!

  12. Re:whoa! on Energy Efficient and Cheap Servers for Home Use? · · Score: 1

    Hey, I'm a BBW lover, so that sounds perfect to me. Don't go knocking big girls -- for some, that is ideal.

  13. Re:The folly of it all! on RFID Not Just for Kids · · Score: 1, Funny

    Don't worry. The sharks have been replaced with ill-tempered seabass with barcode readers.

  14. Re:give me one too on Interview with The Sims Creator · · Score: 1

    lmao. Almost as evil as mine ;)

  15. Review on Interview with The Sims Creator · · Score: -1

    I must say version 2 of the game is sim-ply marvellous.

  16. Re:Please define it on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    That would be an import for me up here in Canada, but if I see it, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice :)

  17. Re:Conrimfming thiss study on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    It looks like Microsoft is letting its coders post on slashdot again! Lookout!

  18. Re:ok, I'm outta here! on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    We run a small computer repair shop and internet cafe. We've pondered selling alcohol here, but then we couldn't allow minors in. I think internet in a pub-like atmosphere would be great -- and not just for sneaking a Guinness in here and there.

  19. Re:Please define it on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    It's about taste and flavour, which is why real geeks prefer Guinness. =)

  20. Re:Yay! Boo! Uh... Oh bugger.... on Speech Recognition in Silicon · · Score: 1

    I thought it was shown that only about 5% of calls went through echelon?

  21. Re:Sir, on Review of Yoper Linux v2.1 · · Score: 1

    I've run Gentoo before, and I do know what USE flags are about. It's just rather confusing to know which flags you need, and it's a big pain if you find out later you forgot to include a certain tag and have to recompile a slew of programs -- such as if you switch to arts from esd, for example :)

  22. Re:64-bit CPUs on AMD Desktops Outsell Intel · · Score: 1

    With a regular heatsink/fan (for the time), my Athlon 1.2 GHz TBird runs at 56 to 60 C under full load with an ambient temperature of around 21 C.

  23. Re:Good to hear! on AMD Desktops Outsell Intel · · Score: 1

    X Windows? Naw, X.org is out now. No monopoly :)

  24. Re:Good to hear! on AMD Desktops Outsell Intel · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's not as if RedHat is the only OS you can install. Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, and SuSe are also quite popular. Then there are NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. What is this monopoly you are talking about?

  25. Not as good on Review of Yoper Linux v2.1 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Obviously this is not as good as Gentoo. If they were running Gentoo, they would have spent 14 hours messing with USE tags so the poor server could keep up with a slashdotting ;)
