  1. Re:How is that? on Howard Schmidt Resigns As Cybersecurity Advisor · · Score: 1

    I suspect that the parent was referring to the email potentially being spoofed, which may be considered ironic if the Security advisor appears to have resigned because of a security breach.

  2. Re:dupe on Should You Hire a Hacker? · · Score: 1

    Maybe CowboyNeal just noticed the poll.

  3. Re:Umm... on Phoenix and Minotaur Get New Names · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, what's up with that. Did they not do a google search in their investigations? Or are they not concerned about conflicting names with another OS project? It even beats out the car on a search.

  4. Obligatory Simpsons quote on The Dawn of the Post-PC era? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Courtesy of snpp:
    "Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continues... AAY!"

  5. BIOS replacement will need harddrive? on Legacy-Free PCs · · Score: 1

    In contrast, EFI is written in C, the world's most popular high-end programming language, and EFI isn't space-constrained because its data resides in a special reserved area of the hard drive.
    WTF?
    Also, to continue onto the following pages just add the appropriate page number to the end. For example, page 3

  6. Re:Aaah Sweep. on Linux Audio Development · · Score: 1

    It appears they are still active. Maybe they use the mailing-list instead of forums.

  7. Re:First April Fool's day Triple Post?? on Evil Bit Added to TCP/IP Packets · · Score: 1

    Apparently, Taco doesn't think the April's Fools jokes are coming in fast enough, so he's overcompensating to meet the Slashdot April's Fools Day quota.

  8. Re:Outer space. on Shuttle Missions Will Be Monitored From Space · · Score: 1

    Stoned huh?
    No, obviously drunk. See his sig?

  9. Re:Vice City on GTA: Vice City Sells 8.5 Million Copies in 3 Months · · Score: 1

    I heard that Rockstar now has an exclusive contract with PS2 for GTA since GTA3. So, no I wouldn't expect a VC for PC.

  10. Re:Octave on Use of Math Languages and Packages in Research? · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that a lot of Matlab's functions are implemented in M-files, so you can look at the source as well for them.

  11. Re:Buy local on Bookseller Purges Records to Avoid PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    Because they frequently don't carry the things that might be suspicious. I'm not talking about Barnes and Noble.

  12. Re:So, a poll... on Understanding .NET: A Tutorial and Analysis · · Score: 1

    Do they even need to change .NET to break Mono? I thought they weren't releasing some of the proprietary server-side components that really make .NET useful.

  13. Re:no, somebody else owns it. duh. on UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar · · Score: 1

    Or maybe more like whitehouse.us

  14. Over Ximian on Gnome 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know how hard it would be to update to Gnome 2.2 from the current Ximian?

  15. Re:28 Years on Copyright Rumblings · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not just classic rock, but a lot of Metallica that still sells. Lars would go nuts. It would never happen.

  16. Re:Dolls?!? on Judge Decides X-Men Aren't Human · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're not dolls or action figures. They're aspiration figures.

  17. Re:Here in Albany NY, two words... on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Creed marathons.

    They have more than one song?


    Maybe that's the point.

  18. Hello World on The D Language Progresses · · Score: 1

    Can someone post some example code of D, like a Hello World program?

  19. Velour on Fan-Made Star Trek Episode Available for Download · · Score: 1

    If it was socially acceptable I'd drape myself in soft velour. . .

  20. Re:ummm on Has AOL Lost Its Sex Drive? · · Score: 1

    That's funny. Because the first thing I saw was:

    Sex Drive. . .hard on. . .with Time Warner. . .on AOL.

    Maybe I'm dyslexic.

  21. Rotten Tomatoes on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 1

    Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 99% with 78 reviews in.

  22. Re:The deeper meaning of switching from Irix to Li on NWN Linux Client Not So Delayed after All? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My understanding is that we will be able to download the Linux binaries for free if you bought the windows version. I don't know about the Mac Version.

  23. Re:The deeper meaning of switching from Irix to Li on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 1

    It's not an amazing breakthrough jump. It's just that SGI barely sells Irix machines anymore.

    I think you miss the point. The reason SGI is probably selling less Irix machines is that Linux is available, cheaper, and does what buyers want.

  24. Obligatory Simpson's quote on Ogg/Vorbis on Palm OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now I can listen to AC/DC on my PalmOS device's crappy little speaker...

    Just what I wanted...


    Teen1: Oh, here comes that cannonball guy. He's cool.
    Teen2: Are you being sarcastic, dude?
    Teen1: I don't even know anymore.

  25. Glad you asked. . . on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 1

    I think that's sarcasm.
