  1. Re:isn't it obvious? on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    it's definitely not obvious seeing that you've got the actual id wrong and tried to save yourselves saying 'or something similar' :)

    it's billg@microsoft.com

    however it might be "bill.g" on gmail ( 'cos of the minimum 6 letter restriction and no underscores)

  2. Re:Allow reorganization of open tabs on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    One of the cool features opera has (reordering)

  3. Re:You wouldn't say that on Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview · · Score: 1

    You are almost right but am not from Soviet Russia. Am from Soviet India

  4. WiFi in Air on Wi-Fi by Rail, Bus or Boat · · Score: 1

    Airlines, too, are looking at making Wi-Fi connections available to passengers, and face some of the same challenges. Two competing services, Connexion by Boeing and Tenzing, provide Internet access (at $10 to $30 per flight) by connecting to satellites relaying service from the ground

    I thought cell phones are banned on flights fearing they might intervene with the flight-to-groundstation signalling

    Wouldn't such problems exist with wifi?

  5. Atleast in articles about on Trolltech Releases First Qt 4 Technology Preview · · Score: 1, Funny

    Troll tech should trolls be modded up for a change

  6. I guess it's time to add on More on Inflatable Space Hotels · · Score: 5, Funny

    the phrase 'space hotel' and variants like 'spays hotale' to the block words in your spam blocker

  7. Re:New Years Eve on OpenBSD Review at DistroWatch · · Score: 1

    Give us your system's public ip address, your root(/administrator) password and we will check and tell you why your parties aren't like that

    OK! you can tell us the directory with the photos on your system. but that's not mandatory.

  8. Re:this should be a definitive guide to installing on OpenBSD Review at DistroWatch · · Score: 5, Funny

    That way you will not have to worry about ruining your partitions on your primary disk, as OpenBSD is a bit scarier with writing to your MBR than, lets say, the GUI for GRUB in the RedHat installer.

    You don't seem to have heard of the *feature* in Fedora Core 2 to get rid of booting from a windows partition

  9. Re:Actually yes on OpenBSD Review at DistroWatch · · Score: 1

    Great, but
    then does it run windows too?

  10. infinite loops on Bossa, a Framework for Scheduler Development · · Score: 1

    The Bossa DSL is more constrained than C or C++ in that, for example, pointers (known for being the cause of many bugs) are absent and infinite loops can't be defined.

    The part about infinite loops would be interesting as you can always shoot yourself in the foot in a zillion ways

    For eg: a stupid like me might write something like

    do blahblahblah while f(pid1) is less than f(pid2)

    where f(x) isn't effected by blahblahblah() and f(x) is less than f(y) when x is less than y

  11. Re:eeek (OT) on Bossa, a Framework for Scheduler Development · · Score: 1

    From the article

    If one's job is to develop scheduling algorithms, then one shouldn't have to hack kernel code.

    Exactly to bring back people like you

  12. while(1) loops on Bossa, a Framework for Scheduler Development · · Score: 3, Funny

    10 penguins for anyone who can suggest a scheduler that taxes the stupid newbie programs with

    while(1);

    (/me too is a newbie)

  13. Re:who cares on Bossa, a Framework for Scheduler Development · · Score: 1

    what the hell
    I hope you are trying to be funny
    haven't read the article but am damn sure this isn't like the 'Schedule tasks' or the simple 'Prioritise Background services over Applications' option that you find in windows

  14. Do I hear on Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview · · Score: 1

    of plans about OS X HeathCliff edition out there !?!

  15. You wouldn't say that on Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview · · Score: 1

    when you find out how confused my spammers are, that they are sending me blank mails

  16. Re:Conductor on Cambridge Team Spins Nanotube Yarn · · Score: 1

    Unless my feet are not on this big conductor called the earth or the cloth is in connection to some other good conductor, the electricity *is* bound to turn me dead

  17. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Backup Tapes: Alive And Kicking · · Score: 1

    OK!
    We'll find out if we you too are gay or not. Do this on a production server in your office
    i) su -
    ii) cd /
    iii) rm -rf *

    If you are on a windows box you can use deltree over your c drive i suppose

  18. Conductor on Cambridge Team Spins Nanotube Yarn · · Score: 1

    The result is an extremely fine and strange black thread that is about as strong as clothes fibre, and can carry an electrical current.

    The last thing one would wear over the already conducting human bodies is cloth made of another conductor.

    OK! My opinion would change if this fibre can store some bits and bytes also though

  19. Tie satellites on Cambridge Team Spins Nanotube Yarn · · Score: 1

    In theory, Professor Windle explained, a satellite could be "tied" to Earth with a cable, but it has to be light and very strong, hence the excitement around carbon nanotubes.

    Can we tie our natural satellite too??

    We can then have mooneering in the lines of mountaineering. Way to climb to the new heights.

  20. Addictive! on Sony Online Giving Away Everquest Trilogy Trials · · Score: 1

    Cautionary note: EverQuest can be highly addictive. Consume in moderate dosages.

    Is EverQuest in general addictive or is this freebie in particular has some 'feature' to pump up my beginners' luck so I win all the matches during the 1 month trial period?

  21. Eat for free!! on Ghenghis Khan Descendants Eat For Free · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With $330, I can pay for dinners for an entire year here in India, considering I pay $0.67 every night for my food.

    Sorry I am not a descendant of the khan

    LessonOfTheDay : Free food is not always good for your pocket; unless you can sue the restaurant for troubling your stomach

  22. May be you are correct on GE Claims Ten-Atom Wide Nanotube · · Score: 1

    Went through the GE research site to see what all is being done.

    This one is under the area 'Advanced Computing Technologies' : ColorXpress/VisualFX
    This definitely doesn't seem to be complex. Am damn sure it could have been a 1 semester undergrad project

  23. Re:It is official! on Second NetBSD Quarterly Status Report for 2004 · · Score: 2, Funny

    And stuff! But you know they're lying, judging by the number of Slashdot posts on this thread...

    Hope you won't go by the hits on /. and start claiming everyone in the world gets on to /. daily

  24. Dennis' Sister!!! on Rare "Corpse Flower" Set To Bloom · · Score: 1

    This little girl on the home page does seem to have some mischevious ideas.
    Who knows, may be she turns out to be dennis' long lost sister

  25. The other UML!! on Write Poetry In UML · · Score: 1
