  1. Re:TFN Episode III "Review from the future"! on Footage From Star Wars: Episode III · · Score: 1

    That edit is completely misleading Pygram is not a returning cast member. SCO's lawyers couldn't have made a more misleading splice.

  2. Good news! on XFree86 Core Team Disbands · · Score: 0

    I for one welcome our new active, experienced and skilled XFree86 developer overlords.

  3. Roman D&D on 2000 Year Old Roman d20 Up For Auction · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm so sorry Publius, but you only rolled a XVI and you needed XVII to hit an Orc with Armor Class IX with your +I short short sword.

  4. Re:Witnessing the birth of a new form of governmen on Jail Time for Movie Swappers · · Score: 1

  5. Re:eh $150,000? on Simcity Microwave Power by 2050? · · Score: 0

    By the time such a project is finished, inflation will have us well beyond 150k average income so this is a pretty sure prediction.

  6. Re:Fully automated solar array in Michigan on Simcity Microwave Power by 2050? · · Score: 1

    That link appears to describe the PV manufacturing plant as the size of a footbal field and capable of annually producing sufficient PV to generate 30MW. I did not understand it to say that a football field size area would produce 30MW from PV.

  7. Re:Matrix and snobishness on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume that you're pretentious.

  8. perceived reality is for spin doctors on Are Linux Zealots Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    From the article: "In the end, I think we are all defined by how we are perceived. Our perception is 100 percent of our reality and doesn't have to have any connection to facts to be real to us." This more than anything speaks to the nature of Enderle's life and his incompetence to write about anything technical. No one who has written code for a processor would ever say that his perception defined the reality of a bad compile.

  9. Re:[sic]? on Spammers Using Hacked Machines as Decoys · · Score: 1

    The incorrect word was used. Said In Context is for more than typos; it is used for poor grammar and incorrect usage. Here the word "hackers" is used where the context calls for "crackers".

  10. Re:Just stop it on Tempers Flare Over Ill-Tempered Sword Remarks · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    7) What the hell does Jingoism have to do with any of this? I don't think I've ever seen anyone on /. use any variant of the word until now. I'm not sure 99% of /.'ers out there even know it's meaning.
    [ironic smirk]Jingoism is obviously extreme nationalism, as any red-blooded American knows. The UN would supress America's knowledge of Jingoism and that is why they ought to be given the boot along with all the other foreign nationals![/ironic smirk]

    Captain: What happen ? Mechanic: Somebody set up us the Sprint DSL. Operator: We get no signal. Captain: What ! Cats: How are you gentlemen !! Cats: All your files are belong to us. Cats: HA HA HA HA ....

  14. Gobbles conscience on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    Gobbles has given the community what it needs to find the worm. They have shown you one of the exploits that the worm uses. any file that is infected will trip that exploit. All that is needed is a MP3 player that detects a file attempting that exploit and if so indicate an infection.
    What Gobbles has done is find a legal way to help whitehats.

  15. cybernetic enhancements on Robot Pharmacists · · Score: 1
    Diabetics have for some time had belt worn drug dispensing kits called insulin pumps. Take it a step further and you have the personal pharmacope from Weber's Path of the Fury

    No more overdose, no more child proof caps!

  16. Quality of service? on Robot Pharmacists · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Of course robots may break down, too, especially since they're only as good as the humans who program them. As an added safety feature, a camera takes a digital picture of pills in each bottle so a pharmacy screener can compare the pills in the picture to the doctor's orders and make sure the robot made no mistakes.

    Having seen one of these in action, the device is only as good as the guy filling the drug bins, who thanks to this marvelous technology will be a college intern who stayed up late last night studying for his exams. He will also be the guy checking the picture at the end. "Yup, those are pills."

  17. Has to be done on Going Through the Garbage · · Score: 3, Funny

    All your garbage are belong to us!
