  1. Re:That is a LOT of money! on Dell's Gaming Monster · · Score: 1

    You forget that this is intended for use with games.

  2. From: Everyone; To: The Tin Foil Hat Source Zealot on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    SHUT UP already you Karma Whores!

    :D

  3. Re:Don't leave out Gentoo! on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 1

    Fortunately for Gentoo users, we already have support for RPM, DEB, TGZ, and of course source code. I guess all that time compiling was a safe investment! ;)

  4. Another? on SCO Adds Copyright Claim to IBM Suit · · Score: 5, Funny

    Adding a copyright infringement claim? They wouldn't dare!

  5. Re:Snob on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    I should get my wife cubic zirconium because it looks the same as a diamond but is much cheaper because it was made with "technology".

    No, you can go ahead and get her a real diamond. They can manufacture them for about $5 per carat. And yes, they are chemically identical.

    Yet people will still pay for "The Real Thing" simply because they are suckers of marketing and social status.

  6. Re:Ohh sexy jewelry :o) on A Linux Machine For Your Collar · · Score: 3, Funny

    I want this one in silver for my girlfriend

    I believe you are referring to Mrs. R. Hand?

    Yes we are all quite familiar with her, I don't think she cares for jewelry.

  7. Well on A Linux Machine For Your Collar · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is collar-top computing the Next Big Thing?

    Does Linux have SCO IP in it? ;)

  8. Re:This explains everything! on Mine The Moon For Helium-3 · · Score: 1

    Seriously, say what you will about him, the President is a man who understands the approaching energy crisis.

    Now if only we could coach him on how to properly pronounce nuclear we might start convincing some people!

  9. Re:From NASA with Love... on News from Mars · · Score: 1

    Registering on Slashdot: Free

    Making sarcastic snide comments: Free and funny

    Having someone use your comment, make a picture out of it, and post it back to Slashdot: Priceless!!

    I'm so proud.

  10. Re:2 bad... on Crack the Code and Win a Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    This is just a stupid publicity show

    Don't judge this technology too quickly. Sure we have a plethora of algorithms to choose from, and sure they are all pretty secure. However, if you know anything about small, low-powered devices and what it takes to power a cipher like AES or RSA in hardware, then you would know the two don't mix.

    The lure of ECC is that it is designed so that it can be implemented in hardware on low-powered devices such as cell phones and PDAs and executed with speed. So don't discount this as just another publicity stunt. ECC has been known for quite some time in the academic arena as a powerful tool, it just hasn't had the mainstream necessity until now. I think this cipher will become very widespread in the years to come.

  11. Sorry chaps on Spirit Rolls on Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dear Great Britain,

    This is a picture of Mars, hope you like it!

  13. Re:Conspiracy Theory on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the Americans will be there in January. Then the American probe will destroy the British probe before it can send the pictures back.

  14. Re:I'm going to have to disagree on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 5, Funny

    Think of the environmental impact to outer space with all of that oil leaking from the British spacecraft.

    Good thing it isn't manned, too. Can you imagine what those poor Brits would have to eat? Dehydrated British food! Ack!

  15. Re:Linux port on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 2, Interesting
    What's really interesting is in the src_main directory there is a linux subdirectory that has Makefiles for Linux.

    Header:
    #
    # Half-life Makefile for x86 Linux
    #
    # Feb 2001 by Leon Hartwig (hartwig@valvesoftware.com)

    Perhaps something good coming our way? Or maybe just a dropped endeavor... one can only hope.

  16. Re:Public Service Announcement on Principal Photography on Star Wars III Complete · · Score: 1

    How intriguing that your search returned an empty line instead of nothing. What could this mean!?!?

  17. Re:The Big Question... on Principal Photography on Star Wars III Complete · · Score: 1

    At the beginning I would have said, "Yes, that'd be cool." But now, I think all we'd get to see is him crying and suing people. Screw that kid.

  19. Re:The names may change, but on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is women are always using the excuse that diamonds are an investment. Now their $15K diamonds are about to be worth fifty bucks.
