  1. Re:EDGE is a slow network. on iPhone Doesn't Surf Fast Enough for Jobs · · Score: 0

    EDGE really is a slow network compared to EVDO. It's around 8x slower in downloads and the real killer is it's around 65x slower in uploads.

  2. Graphs and Visual Aids on Fedora Metrics Help Whole Linux Community · · Score: 0

    I hate it when people release stats in pure numbers in tables. They should also put some of that data in graph form so we can visual see what's going on. I dumped some of this data into Swivel and here are the graphs I got out of it:

    Connections to Fedoras YUM repo
    Unique IPs by Week
    New Unique IPs by Week
    Trend by Week

    Visitors to fedoraproject.org
    Unique IPs

  3. Themes and Icons on GNOME 2.8 Released · · Score: 0

    Does anyone know what icon set that first screenshot is using? For me, one of the coolest things about gnome is cutomizing the windows and icons.

  4. Re:Within 5 years? on China: the New Advanced Technology Research Hotbed · · Score: 0

    According to Firefly, in the future we will all be able to curse in Chinese.

  5. While taking a #2 at work. on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 0

    I used to bring my Treo 600 with me while I took a #2 at work. I used it as a portable reading device because I could grab web content from anywhere. It was also very useful for taking pictures of my shits and sending it to my co-workers.

  6. Re:Some missing features... on What A Portable Media Center Might Look Like · · Score: 0

    Wow, this looks like my Netgear router with a LCD glued on it.

  7. Re:Baby's Father.. is also his uncle on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 0

    In the mother, one copy of the gene is mutated and the other is normal; the boy has two mutated copies. One almost definitely came from his father, but no information about him has been disclosed. The mutation is very rare in people.

    If this mutation is so rare in people then it is very likely that the boys father is also his uncle or grandfather. Just another side effect of inbreeding.

  8. Just Shit on Microsoft's Janus DRM Software Officially Unveiled · · Score: 0

    My friend works at Microsoft and he said there were constant rants and raves about how their DRM code was "just shit". That name stuck so thats how they got "JAnus".

  9. Re:Wow! on KDE And Gnome Together At Last? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Microsoft already made that. It's called Windows Media Player.

  10. Best of KDE and Gnome? on KDE And Gnome Together At Last? · · Score: 1

    What? So how is this news? They are just getting rid of KDE and making the new desktop 100% Gnome? :)

  11. Clear Winner on ExtremeTech Wages War of the Codecs · · Score: 5, Funny

    I didn't read the article, but after looking at the chart, it is clear that Monsters, Inc. clearly beat out those other movies. It's over 4x faster than Spiderman.

  12. Re:only Microsoft finds exploits on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    PEOPLE !!! "If you want more secure software, upgrade." ... to Debian 8)

    Woah! Debian is already up to version 8? I guess it's the new Linux distro thing to jump 6 version numbers, or like RedHat dropping 6 versions. ;)

  13. Why not stay? on End of Life for Red Hat 7.x, 8.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm the Linux Console Jockey at my company and was looking for a cheap alternative after the RedHat end of life. I decided that a move to RHEL3.0 would be the best bet. The ES edition regularly cost $350, but RHN has a special until the end of Feb. for only $175. I can't beat than price and to be able to stay with RedHat makes all the difference. No need for unoffical updates or moving to an entirely different distro. I'm happy and the boss is happy with the price. Plus giving some money to RedHat for their great product is nice after looking at what we pay MS for their crap.

  14. Re:the reason on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 1

    - "Portable Media Center Devices Will Blow You Away" (wha? no it won't!)

    Actully I heard that MS planted explosives in the Portable Media Center Devices that would blow you away if you didn't register mobile windoze.

  15. Re:A sad day on Red Hat Linux Support To End · · Score: 1

    RHEL is a yearly subscription, and for a typical 3 year lifespan of hardware, $299x3

    RHEL is not a yearly subscription. The initial cost is ~$300 and that comes with 1 year of RHN. Every other year will only cost you only $60 a year for RHN. You bought this OS so if you do decide to buy new hardware after 3 years, surely you can move the license over as long as it's the same architecture. They are backporting errata for 5 years.

  16. Master Cox? on Linux Guru Alan Cox Takes A Year Off · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When Alan Cox recieves his MBA, we will have to call him by his new title: Master Cocks^H^H^Hx. Sounds like Alan may be dropping linux dev for pr0n movies.

  17. Re:memory wipe? on Renegade Reverse Engineering - John Woo Style · · Score: 1

    What's with all the Gigli bashing. I place it up in my top ten with Scorpian King. :)

  18. i got a msg from madonna on RIAA Chats With Song Swappers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Someone kept repeat messaging me "What the F**K do you think you're doing?" so I replied, "I'm download your album BIACH!"

  19. #1 is google search on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    I figure as long as Firebird Database is #1 on a google search then they should have nothing to cry about. Pontiac is #3.

  20. Thirteenth Floor on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Any movie that plays with reality is great in my book. Plus Gretchen Mol was as beatiful as ever.

  21. Re:Linux people are usually Do-It-Yourselfers... on Linux Is Cheaper · · Score: 1

    My point is that sometimes the tool user is a tool.
