  1. Re:tarzan vine cry on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    You mean like he did in Return of the Jedi?

  2. Re:not that easy on Device Drivers Filled with Flaws, Pose Risk · · Score: 1

    I think that any case where a network driver will contain a flaw exploitable by stuff sent over the network will be quite rare.

    Are you sure?

  3. Re:Was/isn't a SciFi author doing that in Sri Lank on Stepping Off of the Grid? · · Score: 1

    Its hard to say, you can only see so much with the satellite interviews they do in his home.

  4. Re:A few ideas on Concepts That Should Be Games? · · Score: 1

    Just to completely dilute your idea, I always thought that the way the 'story' in Pokemon goes would have lent itself to a MMORPG game. I might be hard to keep an 8yr olds attention for long enough though.

  5. So? on Nuclear Fuel How-To · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Big deal, my high school physics textbook had all this information as well.

    I wonder how many people are going to think this is some sort of threat to 'national security.'

  6. Re:One (perhaps four) Word(s) (Plus some others) on Four GPU Motherboard · · Score: 1

    pfft. The graphics board in my Indigo Iris is bigger then that. Probably has the same driver compatibility too.

  7. Re:This isn't a troll, but... on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I cant play Xenogears, Xenosaga, most Final Fantasies and a whole host of other games on my PC's. You don't buy a console because of the hardware, its all about the games you can get on it. You wouldn't happen to also be the type of person who can't understand why someone would choose to run Windows over Linux when their livelihood requires they run something that only runs on Windows are you?

  8. Re:Need more software and support on Little Interest In Next-Gen Internet · · Score: 1

    He said a good one. ;)
    pf supports ipv6.

  9. Re:From a user perspective on Red Hat Opens Netscape Directory · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ever used the Active directory on Windows? I mean a properly created one in a larger organization. Had to search for an email address of someone in another branch or division? Ever had to log into another machine on that network? Search for printers on another floor?

    Well, you can actually do that and more with any LDAP server.

  10. Re:What? on Application Optimization with Compilers for LOP · · Score: 1

    Could that be because Power doesn't stand for PowerPC. PPC is just one chip type in the Power family. Its an article summary, not glossary. If you don't know what something is, look it up yourself.

  11. Re:How about remaking episodes I-III... on Might Episodes VII - IX Still Be Made? · · Score: 1

    The Emperor killing Luke would have been a great way of bringing balance to the force wouldn't it.

  12. Re:How about remaking episodes I-III... on Might Episodes VII - IX Still Be Made? · · Score: 1

    No, it was Anikin who brought balence not Luke. Luke failed when he faced the Emperor and would have been killed if Vader had not finally listened to the good in him and disposed of the emperor.

  13. Re:Ever Hear Of Xenix? on Could Microsoft Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    They sold Xenix to the old SCO, and it was the Santa Cruz Operation.

  14. Re:Well on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 1

    So what your saying is that the DS is completely different from a PDA?

  15. Re:80 gig recompile on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 1

    Curiosity? Maybe some nostalgia.

  16. Re:Man, that's wonderful on OpenBSD Up & Running on Sharp Zaurus · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Canadain beer is no different then american beer.

    And the point of the artical was to say they've done it. You know, News for Nerds. While you might not care, but I bet someone does.

  17. Re:Slashdot history! on The Linux Kernel Archives · · Score: 1

    Yes but its not cool like an AlphaServer

    Last I checked a Multia wasn't an Alpha Server

  18. If only there was a way to block entire topics on Larry Page's Vision of the Future · · Score: 0

    If only the Slashdot editors had written some way of blocking stories some people didn't want to see.

  19. Re:Installers on How to Make Easy-to-Package Software, Part 2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Old fashioned? Thats the whole reason I run Slackware.

  20. Um... on Google's Past Homepage · · Score: 1, Informative

    Wow? Why is this on the front page?

  21. Re:Privileges anyone? on Microsoft States Full TCP/IP Too Dangerous · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Its almost irrelevent how good you you think you are, if you can't run Windows unprivleged you don't understand it. Personally, if I were looking to hire you, and I found you running as an administrator for no good reason, you'd never get hired no matter how good of a track record you have. Of course, I don't run a business so that point is irrelevent. Sacrificing good practices for an iota of convinience is exactly why Windows security is so poor out of the box.

  22. Re:Ulterior motives on Microsoft States Full TCP/IP Too Dangerous · · Score: 1

    Well to defend Linspire they do not it anymore
    You sure about that?

    Yes apperently the installer gives you a choice of creating a user, but its not a question that the target audience of Linspire is qualified to answer.

  23. Re:their own court on Judge: Schools Don't Have to Help Music Industry · · Score: 1

    Its them ... and the phone cops. OMG what is the world comming to!

  24. Re:Except you can already do that. on Room-Temperature, Small-Scale Fusion at UCLA · · Score: 3, Funny

    no practical appliction for a Farnsworth device

    I dunno, I hear he had several doomsday devices.

  25. Re:Mark is Paranoid, but Trusting of Microsoft? on Security for the Paranoid · · Score: 1

    If you can't securly run windows, you don't know what your doing.
