  1. Hmmm on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    When can we say "They've gone to PLAID!"??

  2. Re:It's not on Is the Universe its own Largest Computer? · · Score: 1

    Hopefully NOT made by Intel, no matter what the stupid blue aliens like...

  3. Every time I read these articles on Shuttle SS40G Mini-PC · · Score: 1

    I keep thinking that Discovery, Endeavour, and the lot are getting upgraded processors.

    How old are the main computers in the space shuttles, anyways? 25 years?

  4. Re:Sounds of silence on Shuttle SS40G Mini-PC · · Score: 1


    ....that was smarter than the main system (didn't it have a 6512 or something instead of the C64's 6510 CPU?)

  5. Me 7 on Disconnecting · · Score: 1

    Likewise, it took me no time at all.

  6. Not to mention on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 2, Funny

    The whole dance routine with MJ singing "Annie are you OK" (aka Smooth Sith Lord").

    I almost wretched right there in the theater!

  7. What REALLY was cut on Attack of the Clones Cut in UK · · Score: 1

    Here's the dialog

    Young Annakin holds his newborn son up, and proudly declares,

    "Luke, I am your ..."

    No, here's what it is (including the edited part):

    "Meesa called JarJ-AIEEEEE!!!!!" (light saber sounds). Mace Windu shouts "Shut the FUCK up!!"

  8. BDBDBDBD on NASA Eyes Shuttle Replacements · · Score: 1

    You tell 'em, Buck.

  9. Nothin down here, on Transformers On the Move Again · · Score: 1

    'cept a neck and some tendons! My favorite cartoon line ever!

  10. Yeah, it was Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress on Star Wars as Pulp Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Different in a bunch of ways, but basically the same - bickering servants instead of droids, no "force", and so on...

    The Salon article did not even bother to mention this movie! I guess that's because it wasn't SciFi, and didn't owe anything to anybody.

  11. Now, we should all stop salivating on Mozilla Branches For 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

    No one in their right mind goes with a .0 release, especially not in a "production" environment. ;-)

    Before you pick up the flamethrower, I want you to know that I've been using Mozilla since the early .9s and am using the latest non-daily build to post this.

  12. Problem: What about code updates? on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 7500 · · Score: 1

    You have to register with them and they SEND YOU A CD. You can't download updates like a normal company would allow you to. Can anyone explain that? What are we gonna do - download the programs and run them on a system without their graphics card?

    I have an Radeon AIW myself, and I had a bunch of problems getting it to record and then play back the file it just wrote (it would say it's a bad file). That's unforgiveable. My machine runs Win2k, which I have otherwise had no problems with.

  13. Didn't MSNBC do something like this back then? on Microsoft To Start Running Anti-Unix Ads · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall that shortly after MSNBC went on the air, they had to drop the IIS servers and replace them with DEC boxes because the servers couldn't handle the load.

    Looks like then went back to IIS, though.

  14. Why isn't this book free? on Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade · · Score: 2, Funny

    Some spew emitted from RMS, collected by someone else....

    Why should we pay for it?

  15. Re:Java support on Mozilla 0.9.9 Released · · Score: 1

    Do you also have Netscape installed? I had the same problem, and I think the installer for JHVH is getting confused...

  16. This makes sense now on Allchin Admits MSFT Violated the Law · · Score: 1

    Monkey boy took over for billybob because they knew he'd have to speak in court for more than just depositions.

    They knew they'd be sunk if billybob opened his mouth in an interactive forum.

  17. Re:Don't send in your info on Zarf in Mac OS X Land · · Score: 1

    However, by inputting nonsense and cluttering up "Steve's mailbox" with ninformation will make them see how useless the collection of supposedly useful information is.

  18. Anyone have music to the Darius arcade game? on Video Game Music Mixes · · Score: 1

    Great fun, cool look and good music.

    No one seems to have it.

  19. Well, there's always transparent stones on Transparent Aluminium · · Score: 1

    and you'll never see 'em coming.

  20. Don't you get it? on Industry Agrees On Next Gen Unified DVD Standard · · Score: 1

    They're avoiding that matter entirely and jumping ahead to agree on the "next" format. Rather than quibble, the newer one will override the need to fret over the lower density format. It looks like the major players did something right for a change and chose to cooperate. I'll believe it when I see it.

    Where's HP in all this? Weren't they making their own stuff, or were they using someone else's?

    Yeah, the press release says licensing begins in the spring, but when will we actually see product? No mention of this is made. Good thing I read this today - I was just about to upgrade my early-2nd generation home player, and I'm wondering if I should put that off for 6 months, or not.

    Also, will it be backwards compatible? Again, no mention in the press release.

  21. If??? IFFF??? on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 1

    You think he could love someone who's NOT a Slashdot reader?

  22. So, let me get this straight on Run Your Firewall Halted for Extra Security · · Score: 1

    You don't run anything on your firewall that would allow anyone access to it except via the console (for reboots, etc).

    Isn't that the whole idea behind a firewall in the first place? A box that doesn't run anything besides what's necessary to allow access through it?

    Excuse me, but DUH?

  23. You...wantsomemore? on Berlin's Robotic Pub · · Score: 1

    You...wantsomemore?
    You...wantsomemore?

    You...wantsomemore?

    (I feel like putting in a LeelooDallasMultipass jokes in here, but I'm not feeling particularly funny).

  24. Re:Transparent Aluminum? on Transparent Concrete · · Score: 1

    Much Cheaper than $0? That's how much they paid for the Plexiglass!

    Scotty gave them the molecule for Transparent Aluminum in exchange for the stuff.

    Not Now, Madeline!

  25. Anyone make mplayer for RH7.1 or beyond? on Lindows Reviewed · · Score: 1

    the default compiler (2.96) is eeeeevil and I really haven't had the time to install 3.02...
