  1. (oh whoops) on Nuclear Powered Mission to Jovian Moons · · Score: 1

    that's right. Sigh. It's been awhile since I watched it too... (are we talking about the same thing? :-P )

  2. Actually, it's nuclear powered pulse engines... on Nuclear Powered Mission to Jovian Moons · · Score: 0

    and the real purpose of the mission is to ship off all the inmates from Guantanamo Bay, Alcatraz, etc.; a new Australia on the Jovian moons. And this mission will be followed up with a similar mission, only this time as a test platform for the secret "gravity drive" device developed by Nergal Defense Industries.

    Searching for life... my ass.

  3. Britney Spears herself had nothing to do with it. on Tomato, Sony Announce PS2 Title, Other Weirdness? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't count. That's like a Michael Jackson video game or something (bleh).

    No, I mean I'd like to see Britney and her musician friends program their own video game. You see, that's sarcasm, because I know they can't do that. What's more, I hate Britney Spears. But Tomato (and thus Underworld) are 10x cooler in my eyes for this very reason.

  4. I'd like to see Britney Spears make a video game. on Tomato, Sony Announce PS2 Title, Other Weirdness? · · Score: 1

    Or maybe I don't... heh.
    (Yay Underworld.)

  5. Pretty clear solution to me... on Rubies of Eventide MMO Shutting Down? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    turn the servers (and the source code?) over to hardcore fans.

    Apparently a few of them don't mind it being beta... maybe they'll get some people in on it to polish it up.

    I mean, even if it has to be under an NDA so the people who steward it don't sell the ideas to competing game publishers.

  6. That's because you own a NES and not a Famicom on Japanese Fans Vote On Top 30 NES Games · · Score: 0, Redundant



  7. Which, unless you read slashdot... on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released · · Score: 1

    means absolutely nothing more than "Longhorn" or "Cairo" or "MULTICS"!

    Ask your mom is "goatse" is disgusting. I'm sure she'll think it's some German company. Tubgirl is the only think that might be questionable. (Penisbird is also right out)

    How about "GNAA Goatse Nero-Online"

    Sounds like a great online experience with European engineering. :-)

  8. Now THAT's funny. on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released · · Score: 1

    ::smiling::

  9. Yes, unless... on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    you want only one of the two threading ports to respond to hardware events. Not a good idea, it's best to spread that out... especially since a thread could starve the other on scarce shared processor resources on the PIV

  10. Here's an idea: on The Amazing Shrinking Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Probably lots of people submitted that article. Slashdot editors, not being complete idiots, had the same reaction as a lot of the posters here, to paraphrase: "Shock! IBM makes smaller, faster, clusterable computer!" So they featured this in a group article on the 14th about a bunch of similar articles.

    Later on after about 20 more people submitted it, they gave in and posted it directly. They generally attribute the person who causes them to post it, rather than a group.

  11. Artists' rendition of a deployed cluster at bottom on The Amazing Shrinking Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    But who cares really what the outside looks like? Really. Couldn't the 3d artist do a cutaway or something? They have pictures of the prototype but there's no sense of scale or anything. I'm not saying it will, but form should not dictate function. And I don't really care for that slanting theme.

  12. Not sacrifices, but pure marketplace tradeoff. on The Amazing Shrinking Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ask yourself: why do you need a supercomputer?

    Answer: To do a very sophisticated simulation that would be too difficult or costly to conduct in real life.

    But if the supercomputer is so expensive to purchase and maintain, it might be easier and cheaper to use CAD and rapid prototyping to make a few doo-dads and knock them into each other for real, as an example.

    So if the supercomputers can't scale with the rest of computing or manufacturing, then no one will buy them (no one who doesn't want to get fired for being thickheaded, at least)

  13. (whoops, not anonymous-me) on Web Pages Are Weak Links in the Chain of Knowledge · · Score: 1

    So anyway, yeah, not everyone uses PHP... in fact it's a whole bunch easier to cover up URL mapping issues when you are using CGI then when you have a bunch of static documents.

    And if you remove a document and want to keep it that way, there's always:
    Redirect gone /blah/blah/expired.html

    I think part of the problem is that lots of people use FTP to maintain sites still, with a unified view of how people will navigate their content and have little appreciation for .htaccess, etc. unless they are trying to implement a password check.

    And some CMS systems don't handle that kind of thing well either. Anyone have any experience with Zope?

  14. ::snerk:: on How Crackers View Themselves · · Score: 1

    mod up. come on... hehehe it had to be said.

  15. Don't kid yourself, NFS can be secure. on Open Source Tools in Data Centers · · Score: 1

    But no one wanted to set up GSS or Kerberos 5 years back, so it never caught on.

    Lot more complicated than /net/machine/share...

  16. RTFA (warning) on Recycling TV Ads · · Score: 1

    The company specifically does NOT recycle commercials or pitches where any depicted actors are SAG members for this very reason.

    All the more reason to get unionized if you go into that line of work.

  17. ::snicker:: on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    God. Flamebait? Come on. It's a fricking joke. You know, it's stereotypical slashdot talk. Your ego hurt? Awww...

    And Lunix users have Yoda dolls up their asses, and BSD users are out raising the dead, and Windows users sUx0r5!$ Billy Gat3$.

    And such a late mod. Someone has a grudge.

  18. WTF noobs? (this is for you, overlordq) on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1
  19. Quotable. on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    I love it. Who else could believe MacroVision's sales pitches?

  20. Keep in mind that we (americans) are working on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    longer hours then we have EVER done since we started recording that sort of thing!

    So clearly we are not getting more efficient and producing goods, but less so. And with that in mind, without money we would be totally lost.
    (Although I think a "liquid commodity" backed currency is passe: one based on the value of actual contracts is probably more suitable for our information-centric society)

    Right now money is backed by a contract wherein bearers can retrieve bullion or some other liquid good from a reserve bank.

    In the future, ANY contract should be viable for that backing.
    The valuation of the backing (and the currency) would track whatever contract is tied to it (bond, services rendered, equity, land, commodiites, etc.)

    Just one of many wild and zany ideas.

  21. (ot) a winning slashdot formula for audio article: on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mention Hydrogen Audio, Mod up +3 not-total-idiot!

    Good call, sir.

  22. (just a user, not a plug) on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    I figure bands could use this then bail out towards the end once they get more money and can actually afford paying for distribution.

  23. 1nad1 Internet on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is no excuse for the next three years to not have decent hosting.

  24. I mean, it was on dateline the other day and all.. on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    I so absolutely do not work for NBC Studios.

  25. It's about ignoring each other's differences. on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    By accentuating the physical differences to hyperbole, we can cut to the heart of Apple's message: Powerbooks are suitable for everyone. It makes the "sameness" stand out.

    They're all fags^H^H^H^Happle-users at heart.

    Awwwww...
