  1. Just a word on Are Programmers Engineers? · · Score: 1

    Is a program an engine?

  2. awakenings on AI in Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Rising sentience would first show as a "funny" postings at slashdot, stable intelligence would get "interesting" moderation, and mature systems would have some "insightfulness", of course.

    Finally, I think first AIs would fall into insanity among conversationally challenged nerdy programmers, as shown in all threads of slashdot comments..

  3. games for 10$ / month? on Games on Demand · · Score: 1

    For 13$/month I surf the net.. why pay additional 10$ for just games?

    don't get trolled!

  4. me love you long time on Soldering with a Toaster Oven · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Talking about Iron Chef by FujiTV?


    When in doubt, mod as "interesting..."

  5. Glimpses on Office Depot: Windows XP Apps Must Be Microsoft-Approved · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "This may be an initial glimpse at how Microsoft could introduce Digital Restrictions Management by ensuring all retail hardware and software products are approved by Redmond."

    It could also be an initial glimpse at how I could suddenly switch to linux, if windows gets too restrictive..

    Have you sent "installed linux today" -email to microsoft yet?

  6. Re:Double take on A Hotter Sun May Be Contributing To Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Sometimes Sun JVM is causing "local" warming, burning out 0.05% more nerds.

  7. Re:wow - indeed! on Projecting Sound 'Inside Your Head' · · Score: 1

    In fact, there may or may not be any echoes at all! You know that whistling sound from amplified noise feedback? Well if there is no sound, there is no feedback, and there is no whistling!

    Please, spanish audience to the left, and english audience to the right..

  10. old fashioned "hello world"-defence on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    public static void main(String[] args){
    System.out.println("Hello world");
    }

    ....sorry about stealing someone's code..

    How much code does it take to be identified as "stolen"?

  11. Fed Up on Dissecting Localized Google Censorship · · Score: 1

    I'm getting all fed up with google. Don't get me wrogn, it's a wonderful search-engine. Every other time I type anything in opera's addressbar, it starts with "g ". It has an ingenious cache, and even a pdf2html conversion!

    BUT, I'm tired of reading these never-ending stories about google, googlism, Googling, elgoog, roogle, etc. etc... Has anyone else noticed such "new wave" in slashdot stories?

  12. taking it all too seriously on The Tyranny of Email · · Score: 1

    "3 hour window" - "right brain mode"

    Tiny little life-forms! Just keep the right brain mode going on all the day, never giving in for anything else. Who needs emotion anyways, when we got smileys? ;)

    while(!getting_any)sleep();

  13. Re:Trips on Geek Roadtrips Through the Heartland · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't take any money, 'cause it's capitalist crap.
    Don't take any clothes, you will enjoy the highway better in the nude.
    Don't take any gas, as it is polluting the earth.
    Don't take the car, you need the walk anyway.
    Don't take this seriously, as this is sarcasm.

    I can't understand why do people take such stress with computers, that they cannot relax if it is nearby. It is a tool, for fun and work altogether! I could manage my life without the computer, but I simly will not.

    Forget humor to see the insightfulness.

  14. Destination DoS on Internet Traffic Still Growing Quickly · · Score: 1

    They predict that internet traffic will be 64,000 LOC/day! Wow, 64000 LOC, that sure sounds impressive!!

    Just take a friendly guess where they are all going! Slashdotting anything and everything stepping on their way..

  15. late like opera 7... on 16th IOCCC Winners Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...was it soooooo buggy too?

  16. Scalable on Major Step Forward For SVG in the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Whoa! I got 2.8Megs of scalable icon for my word-document. If I zoomed it to fullscreen, I can read the document without opening the actual file! No more MS Word crashing, it's all svg now... :)

    Well, I like the svg idea, especially the flash_out_the_window_in_a_flash part of it. But even more, there's x3d coming, and hey(!) - have we all forgotten about fractal graphics? Zoom that!

  17. lifetime career indeed on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 2, Funny

    try doing a life - for IT crimes.

    Kevin's on the loose, beware!

  18. decaf cigs? on Nicotine-Free Cigs, Genetically Engineered · · Score: 2, Funny

    Like parachuting from a 4-feet ladder.

  19. on my way to crime? on Review: Illegal Art · · Score: 1, Funny

    I found this article interesting as soon as I spotted the word "illegal". Does it mean I'm a very very naughty boy?

  20. Less is More on Publication Bans In A Borderless World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Shut up" often leads to [fierce] conversation.

    Try drilling a hole to a wall and write "don't peek thru..." above it. 8)

    Rebels.

  21. missing (and weakest) link - region 1 on Miyazaki Region 1 DVDs at Last? · · Score: 1

    So, they dumbed down 'em for region 1 viewers at last! A European perspective on the stereotype "americans". Sorry. ;)

  22. Less is more on Barcode-Controlled Home? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I could try asking permission, but do you want to wait 6 hours for a cool breaking story while we wait for permission to link someone?

    No, I'd rather see that nice hobbyist page stormed down, THEN wait 6 hours for the site to recover.. Oh, if it only were just 6 hours..

    Is it possible to de-concentrate the traffic by any means? Show the story for 5 minutes, then show it again after a quarter or so.. Daily readers would get it eventually..

    You /. guys are holding too much influence compared to your careless morality.
