  1. Re:Coffee and espresso is fricken great! on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 3, Funny

    What you guys need is the new "Big Tim" cup from Tim Hortons.

    This Coffee cup holds an entire pot of coffee and keeps it warm all day long. Also it has a big warning on it NOT TO DRINK FROM IT. But I do anyways. All it looks like is a giant coffee cup. For sure it would be a good gift for the coffee drinkers alike.

  2. Re:Cheers on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Coffee might be a powerfull drug but it's sort of like smoking. Quitting it can be hard because of habit not the actual drinking.

    When you make a pot of coffee the house has that nice coffee smell and even to pour the coffee into your mug has that nice sound. The first sip in the morning etc etc.

    Coffee as an addiction is more of a mental thing then it is a physical thing. Same with smoking.

    Don't compare coffee to coke ... but compare it to smokes and your set

    Linux isn't too hard on my machine. Although the specs are somewhat wierd :/

    Solosoft
    --------

    1 Intel Pentium Pro 200MHz oc'd 233MHz 256k L2 Cache
    128mb EDO SIMMS
    nVidia GeForce 2MX (32mb) PCI
    AWE64 ISA

    Even with these old stats it runs perfectly fine. I even installed KDE and it was plenty quick. It only touches about 40mb of RAM but it's mostly just X. The HDD hardly swaps, but when it does my my it does.
    I can hardly move the mouse, this is rare tho ...

  4. Re:addendum to topic paragraph on A Peek At Script Kiddie Culture · · Score: 3, Interesting

    EFnet used to be alot like that. I stoppped hanging around that area after I kept getting hit. But EFnet is like a "city". You enter the wrong area "bad neighbourhood" your going to get in trouble. I used to hang out in those areas. Never did anything bad but just knew some people and ended up in those channels.
    Most of the time, I noticed it's VERY young kids with a DDoS net but most of the time it's not their DDoS net. Also, if you "buddy buddy" with them they will show you the net to brag and show how cool they are. Them being stupid would DDoS me sometimes and I would log the packets. Of course to see if it would effect me (which my server was WAY too slow at the time to handle any of that DDoS the most I would see come in is like 50k/s so they couldn't take my line just bog my computer to a bitch. While I was logging I would simply find there address in there and match it with the IRC txt and send it into there ISP. Most of the time they would come back a few days later complaining there ISP sent them a warning. It was actually kinda funny. "What you mean I can get into trouble for this".

    Anywho my Opinion on Script kiddies

  5. Re:Another story; and programmers vs. techs on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually one program I found REALLY good for things like that is "Deep Freeze". It lets boot up and you notice nothing different but you CAN'T change the drive. Once you reboot it will go back to normal. Your user could delete the windows dir, it would break then simply reboot and it comes back. This would be good for more public computers not as much a "personal" computer. You can always "thaw" a drive if you wanted to tho.

  6. I like pretty colours and blinky lights on iPod Mini Sells Out · · Score: 1

    I like those kinda things. When people see some plain MP3 player they think it sucks ... but show them somthing pretty and they will be all awwed. "You mean it can play music AND look good". I setup a 33.6 Modem just for the blinky lights. For sure blinky lights and a nice design sells for me.

    If it works out for cars why not computers ?
    Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean 50,000 people don't like it. Im sure apple will make a nice pretty colour "normal" IPOD and it will sell better then the plain white one.

  9. What about Shockwave ? on Macromedia to Port Flash MX to Linux? · · Score: 1

    FlashMX is fine ... but it would be nice to have shockwave on Linux without having to emulate it or hack it up.

    The one thing I miss is all my nice shockwave games I play on my windows machine.
    Shockwave Pong Game

    They can forward flash to linux but c'mon ... you know you all want shockwave. Plus all the nifty games you can play like the cool ninja game where your a stick man and you get to fight other stick men ...

    Linux support is nice ... but actually getting all the features ?

    Actually speaking about features :) I wonder if someone could send me a link on how to map these little buttons on my keyboard. This is my first time updating my keyboard in ... well since 1984 (I had a old ME 101). Anywho ... would anyone have a page to read or somthing on mapping the windows key to do somthing (popup a windowmaker menu or somthing) and this "sun" "moon" and "power" button my my keyboard. It came with these buttons so I mas well use them now.

  14. Slashdot Effect ? on SCO Postpones Lawsuit, Now Threatening Two · · Score: -1, Troll

    Think about what slashdot can do to a website. Imagine how hard those phones will be hit and the streaming media.
    I hope we get some good "pay your fees you cock smoking teabaggers" on the phone. For sure im going to laugh at that. Also all the linux people on there just wasting time. Im sure there going to edit the phone calls before streaming them tho. I sure hope they do cause if not it's going to be nothing but trolls

    Slashdot that phone line !!

  15. Linux compatable ? on Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse · · Score: 1

    From the looks of the website the offical program does not support Linux, but does support Mac OS 8+, Windows and OS X.
    By support you do mean FULL support or some half assed support you get from a "normal" mouse driver.
    I want to be able to flick my wrist and open up apps or somthing
    The mouse does look cool tho for someone who likes to browse the internet while slanting like the guy in the picture. He seems to like it ... but the price kind of pulls me away. Im happy with my Logitech Optical Mouse (plain jane 3 button with wheel).

    Also is this subscription music like streaming audio, if so what kinda quality ?

    Last time I checked debians "apt-build" worked quite nice. It even had a little page to let me choose defult GCC options.

    Some things are nice to compile and some are not.
    Example being somthing you want to check out or somthing too big for your CPU.
    Although some packages are nice to compile (mplayer) and such I like debian cause I can choose what I want to compile or even apt-get build-dep a package and get it to install of of the things needed to compile.
