  1. Mod parent up on Satellite Imagery · · Score: 1

    This is certainly not a troll.

  2. When did you join The Internet? on A Brief History of the Internet · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure when I did.

    All I remember is that, at first I had email through a bbs-email gateway. I used this to download files with an email-ftp gateway. The bbs owner was not amused.

    When I finally got on the net, it was via a dialup unix box. I remember that some months after this, the first version of Mosaic for Windows (and shortly after, for the Amiga) was released.

    Those months, I dabbled in Gopher, but with the advent of Mosaic, I quickly gave it up.

  3. Re:The original computer art.. on Crazy/Nerdy Computer Art Installations · · Score: 1

    Ah, neat. Demoscene displayed in a museum.

    The Finland scene has always been strong. Names like Virtual Dreams/FLT, CNCD, Parallax, Scoopex, Byterapers, etc. brings back many memories.

    And they're displaying the classic Amiga demo Deep (Psilocybin remix) by CNCD and Parallax. Arguably the best demo ever :)

  4. The original computer art.. on Crazy/Nerdy Computer Art Installations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Check out scene.org viewing tips.

  5. Re:Military Might on Satellite Imagery · · Score: 5, Funny

    This reminds me of a story from Sweden.

    They had installed very expensive surveillance equipment along the whole Swedish coast, to monitor the baltic sea. The system was operated by drafted personell which were supposed to be looking for signs of Soviet submarine activity.

    When it was uncovered that most of the time spent monitoring with the very expensive surveillance system was used to monitor hot chicks on the Swedish beaches, there were heads rolling.

  6. Re:Not good for single geeks on Washington State Legalizes NEVs on Public Roads · · Score: 1

    Why is fournicating in cars so popular in the US?

    Have you not houses with kitchens and bedrooms?

  7. Re:slashdot anti-car? on Washington State Legalizes NEVs on Public Roads · · Score: 1

    Having articles on personal transportation, other than articles about SUVs, are not anti-car.

  8. I think that should be.. on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    from 10 to 100 times faster than a Pentium 4 at Scientific computations

    Also, Wired had an article on this, with the main gist "NVidia plans to make the CPU obsolote".

  9. Re:Yes it would hurt their case on What if SCO is Right? · · Score: 1

    If their claims are indeed true, then somebody (at IBM) must know what parts are stolen already.

    So no, I still don't see how this gives them an edge.

  10. Re:Really.. on What if SCO is Right? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Changing it doesn't change previously released versions, so they would still have a case.

  11. Really.. on What if SCO is Right? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If SCO were right, they would've given some evidence to the public by now. It's not like doing that would hurt their case.

  12. Re:Some great bittorrent sites on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 2, Funny

    www.torrentse.cx redirected to Slashdot.org, now it just shows:

    Slashdot sucks.
  13. Re:10.2.2.2 on Nmap Featured in The Matrix Reloaded · · Score: 1

    You're so right. And while they're at it, they should stop using those silly 555- phone numbers. It's so unrealistic.

  14. Neat! on New Sharp Zaurus SL-C760/C750 Linux PDAs · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I want one of these.

  15. Re:eBay Scam on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Not me. I said I've seen just that on eBay.

  16. Re:eBay Scam on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Yeah, or "Will under no circumstances ship to France!". I've seen it.

  17. Re:ha! on Diamond-coated Steel · · Score: 1

    If you're planning to be funny, then please elaborate.

    The topic is "coated steel with a layer of diamond", I don't see how it relates.

  18. Re:Can't wait to see the pics... on Mars Flier Prototype · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    This isn't funny. It's just antiamerican.

    If that's all it takes to get a +1 funny, then yeah. I'll get a +1 funny, one day.

  19. MOD DOWN! on Databases and Privacy · · Score: 1

    He's not talking about real drugs. Magnasushi indeed. Bola my butt.

    Nice journal, btw.

  21. At long last.. on Ogg Now An RFC · · Score: 1

    I'll take any RFC over your lame constitution, any day.

    Yeah.

    Bombs kill at least 22 in downtown Casablanca; "There were bodies mutilated all over the place," one witness said. "Everybody is very shocked."

    Oh, better start another war on terrorism. This time it's serious. It's not your way of living, it's your way of being arrogant.
