  1. This thread reserved for... on Microsoft Wins Homeland Security Contract · · Score: -1, Redundant

    all Microsoft-security quips.
    Ready... GO!

  2. Fight Club on Sony Recalls 18,000 VAIO Laptops · · Score: 4, Funny

    Business woman: Are there alot of these kind of accidents ?
    Jack: You wouldn't believe.
    Business Woman: What laptop company do you work for ?
    Jack: A major one.

  3. Re:Warriors of Freedom? on Warriors Of Freedom Prompted Rampage Attempt? · · Score: 1
    wondering what exactly is wrong with Jack Thompson.

    I think it's a conspiracy. He really works for video game companies just drumming up this bad publicity. After all, any publicity is good publicity.

  4. Re:Looks like a good choice for a router on More Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    My bro's company has some old Deskpros.
    Not like this is a shameless plug or anything, I don't get anything out of this. Unless maybe I get a better birthday present (or one at all, the cheap bastard)...
    ;)

  5. Re:go x-box! on GNU/Linux bootable CD on XBOX: dyne:bolic · · Score: 1

    Why not go that last step?

  6. LRP DEAD AT 5 on Linux Router Project Dead · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Guys, I just heard on the radio that the Linux Router Project is dead...

    You know the rest. ;)

  7. Re:OTT on CPU Cooling with 15 Liters of Water · · Score: 1
    Different strokes for different folks.

    Your last line answered your question.
  8. Re:Better idea... on Turning The SEGA Dreamcast Into A Linux Router · · Score: 2

    if you have the money.
    The Dreamcast will run you $30 and the broadband adapter around $100. That's less than half of the Wal-mart special.
    As an added bonus, the Dreamcast is small and just plain adorable.

  9. But does it... on Fast TCP To Increase Speed Of File Transfers? · · Score: 1

    finally include the Evil Bit?

  10. Re:Why would I want to use exim? on The Exim SMTP Mail Server · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I understand Hotmail, I like Hotmail, and Hotmail works.

  11. Re:Dreamcast on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 1

    I really doubt the tiny percentage of people who figured out how to burn games, or were able to find the pirated games, did the dreamcast in.

  12. Re:The sad thing about the geek kid on Slashback: GSM, Buffy, Wobble · · Score: 1

    In a show of solidarity I shall now change my sig.

  13. Re:The description is very vague on Gentoo Games · · Score: 1

    Well that sums up my coding sessions.

  14. Security Focus article on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Security focus article about the mad hax0ring tools of Reloaded.

  15. People are the problem! on Internet Based Attacks in a Physical World · · Score: 1

    Anthrax doesn't kill people. People kill people. The solution? Ban people! Let's nip terrorism right in the bud! The majority of terrorists are people, not so much dogs, or robots (until maybe Judgement Day). I'm going to get a people detector installed in my house, with an automated gun turret! Hasta la vista, people!

  16. Re:its maths damn it on Origami and Math · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's math dammit! We're the US, we know these things! If you don't agree we might have to come over there and liberate the English language from the evil plural maths.

    And we might possibly liberate your oil too.

  17. I'm a BS analyst... on AAC vs. OGG vs. MP3 · · Score: 1
    at slashdot.

    It's not really by choice though. It just happens when I browse the comments and happen to read a big steaming pile like yours.

  18. Dreamcast $50 on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Your example defeats your point! A new DC costs $50, you can probably get a keyboard (or adapter, or make one) for $10, $5 RF adapter, and then get a crappy TV from a yard sale for $5. Customize NetBSD for yourself and you have a fun little server. Cram it anywhere! Put it on the network at the office and hide it in the ceiling!
    I'd like to see Walmart try and sell me a server for less than $100.
    And of course when you get bored you can take the server down and play some sweet games on it (they sell for peanuts now).

  19. Re:What is the point? on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 1

    We need a new mod point: [-1 Asking "what's the point"]. Every single time there's some fun/crazy/not-too-useful/clever hack someone always asks that question and it gets modded up by people who were going to ask it. So I guess [-1 Redundant] will do for now.

    Crap, I don't have any mod points anyway.

  20. Old burner for sale on Man Jailed for Selling Modchips · · Score: 3, Funny

    I need to sell this old 12x CD burner. It tears right through Safe Disc. So let's see, $15 is a fair price.
    $15 + $7 (UPS Ground) + $28500 (DMCA fine)

    Ok, any takers?

  21. I felt great on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    I had a different reaction. When I see a great movie it always makes me feel good, even with something disturbing/depressing like Requiem. I seem to be overjoyed that a film has been put together so well that it actually brings out such emotion in me. There are countless films that only provide as mere entertainment and do nothing to stir the mind or soul. Those are the depressing ones.

  22. We had a Zorba on Portable Pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64 · · Score: 1

    We had (and still have) a Zorba. Same Z80 4Mhz deal, but a much larger 7" screen. Zorba info.
    Personally, I think the Kaypro II looks pretty sweet.

  23. Re:This is not a license to act stupid on Library of Congress to Hold DMCA Hearings · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is an excellent opportunity to show that the DMCA is crap but please, those of you who attend don't make fools of yourselves. That means dress nice (no DeCSS t-shirts and wear a tie) and that means bathe, shave, and shower. That also means wear both shoes.

    Bah! Shoes are for people who go outside, not geeks!

  24. Re:the draft on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    I could go for a brew myself!

  25. Re:Honor on Amazon Sells IPAQs for $10 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I had an intelligent reply but I spent too long looking for the £ key so I forgot what it was. Then I realized I could just copy and paste it.
    *sigh*
