  1. Re:Sure it does. on Microsoft XP License Prohibits VNC · · Score: 2

    So Microsoft modifies the ELUA so you have to have a Windows license for, and be running Windows on, every machine where you access the Windows server.

    So basicly if the machine is internet connected I am going to need several million licenses to cover every single client machine that is hooked up to the net?

  2. Re:What a dishonest article on Homer Hickam Speaks Out For Fission Rockets · · Score: 2

    If a chemical rocket develops problems on ascent ground control push a button and blow it up.

    So its not a problem all the aluminium oxides and related chemicals that will be released into the atmosphere and surrouding environment by such an explosion?

  3. Server Naming Resource on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 2

    The most useful server naming resource on the net is probably The Dictionary of Arda.

  4. Re:Confused on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 2

    Actually I think the case here is that he just happens to have a pencil and paper he could choose to write down someones music with, but could just as well use it to make notes, create a shopping list or draw something. But despite that he is charged an extra levy on top of the usual price for it, just in case he decides to use it for the former use.

  5. Re:Japan on U.S. Works Up Plans for Using Nuclear Arms · · Score: 2

    I had to google that up and found this informative link about the Japanese atomic weapons program, including evidence of Japanese-German collusion in the development of such a weapon.

  6. Re:I can't wait for djbssh on OpenSSH Local Root Hole · · Score: 2

    Well if your really good at doing complex math in your head you can always login to an sshd server with a simple telnet client...

  7. Re:Cheap backup solution! on LED Lights: Friend or Foe? · · Score: 2

    He must be running one of those really old serial LAN solutions. ie pre-ethernet/arcnet etc. Time for an upgrade man, (and get a much faster video camera while you are at it if you want reliable backups)

  8. Re:abandonware on The Abandonware Question · · Score: 2

    "gunkware" once its stuck to you you'll never get it off.

  9. Re:1988 is the magic year on The Abandonware Question · · Score: 2

    That timeframe of 14 years also comes from an era of relatively slow advancements compared to today. If anything that figure should be reduced to 5-10 years, not dragged out to 70+ years or whatever it currently is.

  10. Re:Leisure Suit Larry on The Abandonware Question · · Score: 2

    Maybe it was due to the classy centerfold.
    No no really, I read it for the hints.

  11. Re:Mission to fetch our bible. on Water on Mars - Clues to Life? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, that would have been Naoh's flood

    Are you one of those people who worship dog?

  12. Re:anti Sb? on Antimatter Atoms Captured · · Score: 2

    Meanwhile McCarthy and now Bush have banned the production of Antimatter Am.

  13. Re:I hope the researchers are better at math on Antimatter Atoms Captured · · Score: 2

    Maybe he was just factoring in the relativistic effects of travelling at such a high velocity....

    If they are losing one third of the travel trip due to time dilation to get to just the next planet they must be taking one hell of a scenic route, ie a a few laps of the Kuiper belt or the like at the very least.

  14. Re:How cool is that? on Antimatter Atoms Captured · · Score: 2

    Yes, yes they have, but not complete atoms.

  15. Re:Overseas! on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 2

    What is the velocity of an unladen laptop?

  16. Re:education is the solution on Walling off Asian E-mail to Prevent Spam · · Score: 2

    Sig: Worried there might be MS pawns in your midst? Rest easy, I am not one of them.

    We're more worried you might be a bishop or a rook...

  17. Re:Windows out of Sapphire ? I WANT ONE! on Transparent Aluminium · · Score: 2

    oooh I wonder what sunglasses made of blue sapphire would be like ?

    Expensive.

  18. Re:Electronic life form given basic rights on A Timeline of the Future · · Score: 2

    You killed your own child and are taking yourself to court? Talk about multitasking!

  19. Re:85% accurate? on A Timeline of the Future · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can draw up a 100% accurate timeline for the next N years, you pick the N:

    Year 1: Someone dies, someone's born.
    Year 2: Someone dies, someone's born.
    ...
    Year N: Someone dies, someone's born.


    Of course it will be totally wrong after a certain year in which X if we have a major cometary impact that wipes out all life on Earth.

  20. Re:With Radar and Nearly Instant Re-Positioning... on USAF Readies Laser of Death · · Score: 2

    Hopefully not, nuclear weapons with a range of just a couple of miles such as the Davy Crockett don't sound like a very good idea to me..

  21. Re:Only for physical targets, not people on USAF Readies Laser of Death · · Score: 2

    Pakistani ones can launch just about anything,
    even compressed AOL coasters ;-)


    Then can we have AOL broken up for exporting illegal munitions?

  22. Re:I *should* have gotten First Post! on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 2

    Do you want to explain that one? I hope there wasn't a divorce in the middle of it...

  23. Re:Are you compatible? on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 2

    Damnit she's got a lower slashdot-id then me, how can I ever compete with that? ;-(

  24. Re:You cad.... on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 2

    Is this informative or a troll? ;-)

  25. Re:[OT] Re:Robot Wars on Robot Mine Smasher · · Score: 2

    Robot Wars got boring when it became apparaent that a small wedge shaped robot with self righting capabilities and loads of torque would beat anything.

    True, however what happens when a small wedge shaped robot with self righting capabilities and loads of torque met another small wedge shaped robot with self righting capabilities and loads of torque?
