  1. Re:Heavy metal as a detox? on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 1

    Beethoven is considered by many to be Classical as well. While the divide between the Baroque and Classical eras of music is widely agreed to have occurred in 1750 with the death of J. S. Bach, the divide between the Classical and Romantic eras is substantially fuzzier.

  2. Re:Sucks to be a monkey. on New Monkey Species Found in Uganda · · Score: 1

    There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.

  3. Re:Firm Leadership on Ian Murdock: Debian "Missing a Big Opportunity" · · Score: 3, Funny

    And then when someone finally does go ahead and pick a colour it's the ugliest brown you've ever seen. Yeesh, what were they thinking?

  4. Re:Only 1, Why? on Final Fantasy Creator on Xbox 360, PS3 · · Score: 1

    Zeist.

  5. Re:Who does microsoft execs listen to? on Scoble Bites The Hand That Fed Him · · Score: 1

    All right, enough is enough! I've had it with these motherfucking monkeys on these motherfucking typewriters!

  6. Re:I'll say it first... on Exec Confirms Google Phone · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that "Anonymous Coward" guy never shuts up about it.

    How does he find time to post that much on Slashdot, anyway? Half the comments here are from him.

  7. Re:Just don't bother... on Vista Can Run Without Activation for a Year · · Score: 1

    Microsoft had rented their programmers to 3DRealms to work on duke Nukem Forever during that time.

  8. Re:The real problem. on Legislators Ponder BlackBerry Pileups · · Score: 1

    Lucky bastard.

  9. Re:Death to pirates! on Pirating Software? Choose Microsoft! · · Score: 1

    The terminal is the Linux equivalent of the cmd.exe prompt that you need to use for a lot of things in Windows. Makefiles are things that you'll never need to touch unless you're either developing software yourself or using a distribution without an automated package management system (do any of those still exist?)

  10. Re:I think you want a mac. on Why Dell Won't Offer Linux On Its PCs · · Score: 1

    MPlayer isn't meant to be easy to use. If you want a user-friendly media player for playing DVDs, use Totem, Xine, or any number of other GUI-based apps that never require that you open a command line or edit a config file..

    Of course, you likely don't want a user-friendly media player for playing DVDs, since choosing anything other than the most un-user-friendly Linux application for any particular purpose would completely undermine your argument.

  11. Re:I'm impressed on Spore Dev Down On the Wii · · Score: 1

    No, they'd need NES parts as well, specifically the Power Glove.

  12. Re:Gorilla / Human lovin'? on The Coevolution of Lice & Their Hosts · · Score: 1

    It's times like this that I'm really glad that TV and videogames have killed my imagination.

  13. Re;Sheesh on TrueDisc Error Correction for Disc Burning? · · Score: 0, Redundant


    You mean, if Slashdot stored every comment twice, there would be no more redundant posts? What about incorrect or off-topic posts? Would these, also, be a thing of the past?

    Does this apply to articles as well? No more dupes? No more FUD? No more slashvertizements?

    You, my friend, are a genius!

    And I was trying not to post in this thread, so I could moderate something! Damn you!

  14. Re:Dead at 66? on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    Was he the serial killer or the sitcom character?

  18. Re:not sure I get the controversy on Don't Believe What You See at the Movies · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, they'll be rewriting scripts and still putting the original screenwriter's name in the credits!

  19. Re:Linux flavors A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc. on Pre-Installed Linux Tops Dell Customer Requests · · Score: 1

    Making sure that a given piece of hardware will work in Linux means making sure that there's a driver for it. Linux drivers are contained within the kernel. All Linux distributions use the same kernel, or a slightly modified version of the same base kernel. Therefore, if a given piece of hardware works in one Linux distribution, it can be reasonably assumed that it will work in all up-to-date Linux distributions.

  20. Re:A frog's no good anyway on Possible 25 Million Year Old Frog Found · · Score: 1

    So in order to clone this frog they'll just have to use some velociraptor DNA.

    Do you have a link to any site with more information on how to build laptops and where a home user would buy the components?
