  1. Re:Journalism on Kazaa Outed Over 'Trust Fund' for Red Cross · · Score: 1

    The Red Cross wouldn't lie huh?
    http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2002/11/20/blood02 1120

    The Red Cross is just as susceptible to corruption as the Catholic Church...

  2. Re:The sad truth... on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, if you are the lawyer of Scammers Inc. and you are up against your old law professor, who is a buddy of the judge, you'd settle too...

  3. Re:Government interferes with business yet again on FTC Shuts Down Fraudulent Antispyware Company · · Score: 1

    Well, spirit healing rocks fall under the general category of religion. There are special exceptions in the constitution to specifically allow religious fraud.

  4. Re:Two questions on FCC Opens More Spectrum for WISPs · · Score: 1

    This is just a money making scheme - the FCC will MONITOR only. They won't actually do anything. In other words, they will sell as many licenses as there are takers...

  5. Re:The only question I have is on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    In my experience 64MB is the minimum for Linux. With your 96MB, IceWM should run beautifully and OOo should work, but with KDE you can fuhgeddit.

  6. Re:Conversion guides? on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    You are a geek right? Else why would you read Sloshdat - now please explain to me what on earth you do in MS Office, that you find hard to replicate in OOo? It would be good feedback to the project if you are really serious and not joking.

  7. Lava Lamp on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why not put your PC in a transparent case and fill it with two colour oil? Then you can boast about 20th century technology - way better than the 19th century technology these guys are flogging.

  8. Tiny aliens... on Star Smaller Than Some Planets Found · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    well, now we know where these tiny grey alians come from - a tiny star with tiny planets...

  9. Re:Old hardware with new Linux on Bounties for Gnome Optimization · · Score: 1

    IceWM or BlackBox will get you going.

  10. Webcams galore on Wells Fargo Web-Enables ATMs · · Score: 1

    now we can hack all those ATM cameras...

  11. So, charge 1 penny a year on Free Wi-Fi Threatened? · · Score: 1

    I'll gladly pay ten years ahead...

  12. Re:Question: who here ever USED CP/M? on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 1

    Ugh. I actually used ed on a Sperry-Univac time sharing system. Sad experience. Nuff sed.

  13. Re:Former Microsoftie Here on Microsoft Loses Key Engineer to Google · · Score: 1

    So, all he has to do is move to California, where any non-compete restrictions in his contract with MS would be unenforceable.

  14. Re:Question: who here ever USED CP/M? on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 1

    Yup, CP/M worked better than the early version of 86-DOS. The worst feature of DOS was edlin. I'm sure nobody will ever claim parentage of that thing.

  15. Re:QDOS was as CP/M compatible as possible on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 1

    Actually, quick'n dirty was a common term in those days and a sought after distinction from slow spaghetti code.

  16. Re:This is the line? on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 1

    Well of course, you are living in the USA. Maybe one day, Iraq will liberate you.

  17. Re:90% for IE is a lot on Mozilla 1.8b1 Released, Firefox Growth Slowing · · Score: 1

    I'm seeing 22% Gecko use and 77% IE use. The remaining 1% is Apple Safari and about 0% is Opera.

    So, I don't know how much is FF, but 22% Gecko is FF, Moz, Galeon etc.

  18. Re:Stupid, yes. But surprising? on FCC to Fine Curses More Than Nuke Violations · · Score: 1
    "I want to ban gay marriage because it says so in Wikipedia"

    I want to ban gay marriage because it says so in Sloshdat"


    Hmm, both of those sources are more authoritative than the Holy Bible, but you are right, they don't have the same ring to them.


  19. Re:Thank you Darl! on SCO Granted Hearing on Potential Delisting · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the big loonie asylum on the hill...

  20. Is, isn't, is, isn't, is... on Microsoft's 'IsNot' Patent Continued... · · Score: 0

    Sounds like a couple of toddlers fighting to me. Microsoft should grow up.

  21. Re:Call to slashdot from a now ex-Arkeia customer. on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1

    Rsync is your friend, but remember to use the ssh feature for security: rsync -e ssh --timeout=180 -Cavuzb www.example.com:/home/ /data/example.net/mirror/home/ and to automate the use of ssh, you need to use ssh-agent to keep the keys.

    and what does past life mean? Oil, coal and dynosaur skeletons!

    No, that is f00tb411 tickets dummy and you forgot to mention the v14gr4...

  24. Re:Science Blog on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    I have *.swf* and *click* in my adblock list. That would explain why I don't get the pop-up. Pity. Us Firefox and Linux users always seem to have a tough time to get the full Windows Desktop Experience (TM)...

  25. Adblock with *.swf* on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    seems to do the trick, since these bloody things are usually Macromedia Flash adverts.
