  1. JAS Gripen on Swedish Flight Simulator Adds G Forces · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great news, but I hope they have a realistic simulation for ejecting and crashing too. If I remember correctly, the plane was crashed twice by the same pilot while testing it in the '90s. Some things would just be cheaper to simulate. :)

  2. OT: Dating service on Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just saw an add for 'Slashdot Personals' ( http://www.osdn.com/personals ). It must be a unique business idea to have a huge database specialized on fat men with suspenders and beard.

  3. Bad director? on Interview with Peter Jackson on LoTR Bloopers · · Score: 2, Funny

    I disagree with that, although I didn't like his LOTR movies either. But some of his older work is more touching, like Meet the Feebles.

  4. Re:I wouldn't cheer for this... on Get to Know GnomeMeeting · · Score: 1

    H.323 stores IP-addresses outside IP-headers and uses dynamic port numbers. So if you're behind NAT and firewall, you're going to need gatekeepers and application level firewalls for H.323 calls to work both ways. If you're a regular home user what are you going to do?

  5. I wouldn't cheer for this... on Get to Know GnomeMeeting · · Score: 1

    H.323 has serious problems with NAT and firewalls which are kind of hard to solve if you're not your own ISP. And the interoperability between two H.323 compliant products even from two different commercial vendors doesn't seem to be very good either.

  6. Re:Linus about Mac OS X? on Linus Holds Forth On the Future of Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    In his book "Just for fun" he wrote about his opinion on the microkernel architecture and mach. I don't have the book at the moment so I can't give you the actual quote, but I think a word-to-word direct translation from Finnish to English would be pretty close to "it is from ass" :)

  7. Re:10 Years of putting the F in RTFM! on The Linux Documentation Project Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    Now blow out your candles and update your howtos damnit!

    Allrighty then. How do I do that?

  8. Re:If you do the math... on IBM Introduces Petabyte-Capacity 'Storage Tank' · · Score: 1

    Even if you would skip the foreplay and watch only the good parts?

  9. US Electricity problems? on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't you be fixing the power grids over there instead of asking us which is the best way to get back to the stone age? :)

  10. Re:New unit of measurement! on New Moon System Around Uranus · · Score: 1

    After VW-Beetles, Libraries of Congress we have now the unit of "San Francisco" to describe huge masses.

    No... Somehow that city seems to be suitable for describing just the huge masses around your... nevermind.

  11. Re:Hmm...but why? on Nokia 7600 All-in-One Phone · · Score: 1

    Actually, where I live I got so used to see people talking to themselves at the supermarket that I don't notice it anymore. Rents are low here and most of the people are professional drunks or tech students. Or both...

  12. Re:Government isn't tracking YOU on Russians Order Mobile Phone Encryption Removed · · Score: 1

    Since when did Slashdot readers have wives and girlfriends? Parent message must be crypted, can anyone make any sense out of it?
