  1. Re:Canadian National Railway. on Wi-Fi, Linux, And VoIP In Canada · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, if the government is ever looking for this guy, all they have to do is look for the guy on the train with the linux laptop and the hard-on.
    I'm not sure what else to say about the parent post. Immagine a hacker Gollum....

  2. Re:the growing number of Linux apps on Wi-Fi, Linux, And VoIP In Canada · · Score: 1

    If I had some mod points, I'd give them to you!! I guess that's why they don't give me any mod points! :P
    SourceForge is as much a graveyard as it is a source of great software.

  3. Re:At least they found the "smoking gun"... on NASA Test Shows Foam Could Be Culprit · · Score: 1

    I read one on Google groups last night that did not mention that it would have been nearly impossible to repair the wing. I glanced over this one. I guess that it wasn't the same article :P

  4. Re:PHP and Java on JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development · · Score: 1

    Thank you. That was very helpful. I've never really looked at code that way before. I'd like to see a working example of the practical separation of the MVC components.

  5. At least they found the "smoking gun"... on NASA Test Shows Foam Could Be Culprit · · Score: 1

    so that the next time they observe a piece of foam coming off during the launch, they will take the time to repair the wing before they reenter the atmosphere.
    The accident itself is water under the bridge. Let's just hope it never happens again.

  6. Re:PHP and Java on JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development · · Score: 1

    Could you please define MVC for me? I'm used to it meaning Microsoft Visual C.

  7. Re:Blog? What is that? on Space Blog · · Score: 5, Funny

    To quote Orgazmo:

    Movie store clerk: Have you been living in a cardboard box lady??
    Joe's Fiance': No..I'm from Utah.
    Movie store clerk: Oh...sorry.

    Blog == weblog == online journal == 99% of the internet.

  8. Re:I'm addicted on Addicted to Information? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is like crack!! I need more..More...MORE!!!
    I don't see how reading it leads to ADD type symptoms...oh look...some string!!!

  9. Iraq on Estonia: Where the Internet is a Human Right · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I wonder what iraq will be like after all of the businesses move in. If estonia can do it, why can't Iraq?
    At the same time, watch out for those WMDs!! :-P

  10. Re:Haha! on Filesharing Up 10% After RIAA Threatens Users · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm mostly curious which network they will bring down first. There are a few major ones. I sure miss audiogalaxy!!!
    What do you think: EDonkey or Kazaa?

  11. Re:Honesty is the best policy on Messaging Over IPv6 Headers · · Score: 1

    When you want to send an IM to somebody's IP, you have to type:

    0x00000000000000.............0000.......45AEG6A4


    by the time you finish typing their IP, you don't even want to talk to them anymore :-P

  12. Re:must be a PC thing on Motherboard Audio Comes Of Age · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Onboard Audio is good AS LONG AS you can disable it if you want to. I know a bunch of people whose boards came with it but have it disabled for some sort of other audio card (myself included).
    If they start making drive bay extensions for onboard audio like my SBLive Platinum has, I'm game. Until then.....bios->advanced settings->Onboard Audio=off.
    On another topic: Onboard LAN is fantastic!!!

  13. Re:Someone hacked Slashdot! on Science Faction · · Score: 1

    Maybe they were just reading the slashdot source code and realized that CmdrTaco hardcoded the password '12345' into his account. Would that still be considered hacking?

  14. Re:terrorists? on Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Protecting us from terrorists is the mask on the face of the legislation, but many of us see that as too much of an invasion of privacy.
    I hope that this anti-patriot stuff comes to Minneapolis too, if it hasn't already.

  15. Re:People tend to forget something on Government Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    That's the great equalizer though: We all have one vote. Regardless of all of the other influences on elections, when it comes down to it, everyone counts the same.

  16. Re:90 Million L.Y.? on Alien Solar System Much Like Ours · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think the article actually said 90 LY, which isn't that far at all, considering that our galaxy is 100,000 LY across.

    I thought that you're supposed to get a Dell computer.
