  1. usb-mass-storage on Linux Kernel 2.6.4 Released · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they fixed this yet. I have an iRiver iFP-390T that I use as a UMS, but it hasn't been working correctly under Linux. Something about being marked removable when it isnt. Anyone have a patch?

  2. Matrix-like brain access needed on MIT Open Courseware with 500 Courses · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else here really want an OC-12 line to the base of their skull to pump in all this information...

  3. Re:am I the only one.... on Mass Fatality Identification System · · Score: 1

    I think that it is only useful if the programmers work well together. Yes i know that sounds like the most generic comment ever made about the subject but its true. If one programmer is like you are and can't talk while in the 'zone' and the other programmer is someone who always has to know what is happening like a little 2-yr-old, then no it does not work at all. But say me and my friend john get together and we take turns writing code as it comes to us and we quietly watch each other while they code and then review their code later it works very well.

  4. Re:Cash, Howard Cash on Mass Fatality Identification System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Approaching the second anniversary of Sept. 11, 1,521 of the 2,792 people who perished in the WTC disaster have been identified.
    It does take time. Rember that every single positive ID that is made is a life that has been lost. Imagine the familes associated with these 'numbers' and mass ID. I do not appriciate your comment.

  5. Microsofts use of UNIX code on SCO Claims $15,300,000 From SCOsource · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What i find interesting is that Microsoft claims that it's OS is far better than the UNIX variants around today (Linux in particular) , yet they will still pay large sums of money for UNIX source to use in their Services For UNIX (SFU). Seems like they want all their bases covered.

  6. Save the server! on The Last Days Of Atari - In Full Color · · Score: 1

    Remove global read permissions to slashdotted files.

  7. Re:Oh shit, it's the end of the world on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 1

    My take on this is that Microsoft would like to charge fees to those who use their protocol. Even if the fee is something very small (like a penny even) they will never be interested in "interoperating with all third parties" because they could never let the protocol's secrets become open-source (in the case of gaim etc) and of course because linux is a competitor.

  8. I'm safe on SCO Prepares To Sue Linux End Users · · Score: 1

    They'll never know i use linux. umm errr.. crap.

  9. My dad's office got hit bad on Microsoft Virus Spam: SoBig.F · · Score: 1

    Its 10:20ish now.. he usually gets home at 6:00 or 6:30... but tonite he's still trying to clean up their network. all because 1 person brought it in with 1 infected e-mail.

  10. I dont own a car! on Codename Brutus: Chess-Playing FPGA PCI Card · · Score: 1

  11. Reminds me of.. on RPC DCOM Cleanup Worm Appears · · Score: 1

    The time that i told everyone in our highschool 'Happy Mole day!' while in the computer lab during chemistry class. Yeah people weren't very happy.

  12. Re:Slashdot Poll for the 3rd? on Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah who doesnt need a cowboyneal shirt?

  13. of of? on Laptops Outsell Desktops in Retail Stores · · Score: 1

    This article confused me. What is "54 percent of of" anything anyway?

  14. Re:This violates the separation of church and stat on Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral · · Score: 1

  15. will these things ever catch on.. on Building a Better Motorized Bicycle · · Score: 1

    in the US? I remeber seeing a couple of old people riding motorized bikes but ive only seen them once.

  16. Longhorn/Blackcomb on 3D Display a Little Bit Closer to Reality · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've heard that future versions of windows will escape the standard 2 dimensional desktop and add a 3D element to the GUI. Will these be the types of displays it will use? and how can they code for a 3D GUI without having a device to use it with? Or was it just 3D-looking on a standard 2D display.. ideas?

  17. Anime fans on Lupin III Coming to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    What im wondering is how much money they'll be able to make off the crazed American anime fans. Are there more than i think?

  18. finally a viable business plan for ebooks on Welcome to the Safari Jungle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    finally a viable business plan for ebooks! this will be soooo handy!

  19. I doubt it on Linux Xbox Project Seeks Microsoft Signature · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I very much doubt Microsoft would sign any Linux unless it was planning on getting control of it. If all they can gain is an award they have no real reason to look like they approve of Linux. They may even try to compete by making an Xbox version of Windows.
