  1. hmmm on Review Mandrake Linux 9.1 Power Pack Edition · · Score: 1, Funny

    Worth a glance if you're not already running Debian.

    What if your running Slack?

    /me ducks

  2. well yeah.. on ReplayTV May Drop "Commercial Advance" · · Score: 1

    Well honestly how can you really tell if it is going into a commercial anyways? Its not like the screen doesn't change at all within a show on TV anyways...

  3. Sweet! on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    Must... make... RFID... writer...

  4. Business model... on SCO Claims Linux Sales After Suit Irrelevant · · Score: -1, Troll

    1. Make product
    2. Give yourself and your product a bad reputation
    3. ???
    4. Profit! (or lack of)

  5. question on Mastering Light · · Score: 0, Interesting

    How long until we have lightsabers?

    But honestly, do they have the ability to actually shift the light, almost like a curve effect to the beam. Cause I know not too long ago /. had an article about lazer rifers for the U.S. Military, would they be able to actually curve the beams around objects and such?

  6. explains a lot on PPC 970 Confirmed for Apple? · · Score: 1

    /me wonders why IBM was hiring people to write drivers for the 64bit p-series architecture...

    Dammit... should have taken job... But a bit confused at the time =P

  7. Re:wireless on Explaining WLAN Chips' Poor Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Would companies allow developers to sign an NDA so they could have access to most of the hardware's specification data to write a driver? In doing so, would a company force the driver to be closed source and maybe the company have exclusive rights to it? Or do companies just not allow people to do this cause of IP reasons?

  8. wireless on Explaining WLAN Chips' Poor Linux Support · · Score: 1

    I own a 3com Airconnect PCMCIA wireless card and even though there are open source drivers made for it, I still have a helluva time ever getting that card to work.

    Why is it so hard to make a decent driver that works well and is easy to configure? Is there some sort of problem dealing with Linux as compared to Windows that makes it so tough? Or is it simply because of supply and demand?

  9. Sweet! on Hijacking .NET · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can finally call the BSOD member! uh.. nevermind...

  10. Yeah but... on Book-Digitizing Robots · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about that Speed Reading TV Offer I took advantage of?!?!?!?!

  11. Dont know about you... on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    Chimpanzees share 99.4 percent of functionally important DNA with humans and belong in our genus, Homo, according to a recent genetic study.

    Maybe you.... but definitely not me!

  12. Re:Whats the.... on New G3-Based Platform Runs Mac OS X · · Score: 1, Troll

    Cause some of us want a decent OS running on fairly priced hardware... A very useful and pretty UI on a very stable OS, thats the point. Aqua I believe is better than anything else available.

  13. great! on GNOME 2.3 Snapshot, KDE 3.1.2 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke has ported this release (2.3) on FreeBSD

    Oh good, so everyone SCO scared to shy from Linux has an alternative OS to run their favorite UI on... Or everyone knows SCO is full of it and still uses Linux anyways!

  14. Where'd it go? on Monday, The Death of Websites · · Score: 1

    Monday, The Death of Websites

    Yeah... Unless you are a /. subscriber!

  15. It won't work... on PressPlay + Roxio? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just like the previous how many attempts to make a legal way of handling this. Just stick to an open p2p network, its up to your morals on what music you download.

  16. In recent news... on .org Registry Offline - Not · · Score: 5, Funny

    Verisign licensed SCO's Unix Source code on Monday...

  17. Is it a good thing... on Crazy/Nerdy Computer Art Installations · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...when an online auction site goes down because of a /.ing?

  18. Sweet! on Power-over-Ethernet: IEEE 802.3af Draft · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If they just made it a little thinner and lighter, we could have wire Remote Control Airplanes! Or even Boats!

  19. right... on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 2, Funny

    Crack the settings in your Instant Messenger program and disable the "idle" feature, which tells coworkers if you're online. (In AOL Instant Messager programs, go to "preferences," then "privacy.")

    I thought this is aimed at people who use computers at work, not retards?

  20. Re:Underclock? on Intel Reveals Itanium 2 Glitch · · Score: 1

    Why not just buy the lower-clocked CPU's then?

    I'm pretty sure you already are...

  21. sure... on Compute Google's PageRank 5 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    "The speed-ups to Google's method may make it realistic to calculate page rankings personalized for an individual's interests or customized to a particular topic."

    So in other words.... Its not like Google at all!

  22. Don't make them stop calling! on Suing Telemarketers Made Simple · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I still think it is funny as hell to have phone sex with the telemarketer (if it is a girl only =P).

  23. the next lawsuit.... on SCO DOS'ed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hey, thats our DDoS code you used! wait... nevermind...

  24. WineX on Talk With Michael Robertson · · Score: 1

    Where is WineX? Everyone knows that one of the big reasons people have to have Windows is because of gaming.

    I think the slight licensing based costs would be covered up by the mass amount of users that would potentially switch because now their games work...

  25. Um... on Columbia Accident Board Preliminary Recommendations · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't NASA be fully aware of this already? I think in pretty much most cases they know what they are doing, at least more than anybody else knows what they are doing...
