  1. Re:What? on Walter Bright Ports D To the Mac · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sound: multiple sound cards - eh ?
    iChat: your router or ISP sucks. It works ok for everybody else.
    e-mail: Clean your caches. This also works ok for everybody else.
    Mouse cursor: either don't let direct daylight shine on the mighty mouse or throw that junk away and get a real mouse with a opaque body
    Fax: ... well ... add them all to the address book :)

  2. Re:Video Cameras on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    Then standard cameras with some light amplification ...

    At the depths they are cruising it's not pitch dark (during the day).

  3. Video Cameras on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 0

    Why the darn subs don't have at lease one IR camera in front ? Come-on people. Even Nemo's sub had portholes.

  4. Windows only on Amazon Enters Gaming Market · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The games there are windows-only. Please tag as "windowsonly" so the Linux, BSD & Mac OS loving fellow slashdotters will know that they should skip this slashvertisment.

  5. Ship Wrecks on Google Earth To Show Ocean Floor · · Score: 1

    Will we all became virtual Jacques-Yves Cousteaus and explore unknown shipwrecks from the comfort of our home ?
    Or the level of zoom is not that great ?

  6. Re:Norton Antivirus for everyone!.. oh wait... on Obama Looking To Symantec CEO For Commerce · · Score: 1

    Yep - please tag article as NortonGovernment

  7. A question ... on UC Berkeley Offering Starcraft Course · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do you think the students will rush this course ?

  8. Re:Who needs MC ... on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 1

    Nope, i'm not RMS (although i am growing a beard) :)

    I didn't said it was superior - it's just better :)
    The same way Emacs is better than other editors :)

  9. Re:Who needs MC ... on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 1

    You cannot do a Ctrl-C,N,D very easily in command line (in GniIT it renames the currently tagged files to all-lowercase letters)

  10. Re:Who needs MC ... on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 1

    MC + NFS + Gigabytes of files = disaster.
    MC + IRIX + Lots'o'files = disaster.

    GnuIT was fine - maybe because for the copy operations it forks a /bin/cp ?

    I used MC for years then i switched to GnuIT and never looked back.

    • vfs is for the weak
    • Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C
    • Ctrl-X, Ctrl-D

    Know your Emacs.
    I personally knew the original developpers - the original UIT (which became GIT and now GNUIT) was developped as a Emacs complement so all the keybindings are Emacs-like.

  12. Re:Who needs MC ... on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 1

    The post was written using MC :)

  13. Who needs MC ... on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ... when GNUIT (previously GIT) is out there ?

    Smaller, faster, compiles fine on all platforms with any C compiler and it only requires curses.
    And most impportantly it doesn't crashes and it doesn't corrupsts files like MC does.

  14. Re:Free speech on UK Culture Secretary Wants Website Ratings, Censorship · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, but don't they have free speech in the UK?

    Yes they have - but only in a specific corner of a park in London.

  16. Re:Write speed on An In-Depth Look At Seagate's 1.5TB Barracuda · · Score: 1

    http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/

    low wattage CPU - check
    1080p hardware decoding - check
    flash, network & optional HDD - check
    LPCM - don't know
    power - 36W

    Not quite there but close. The only downsides are the remote with a bajilion buttons and a dead-brain UI

  17. Containers on Microsoft, Google Battle Over Energy Efficiency · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If they care so much about being "green", are they using recycled containers ?

  18. Re:Great! on Silverlight 2.0 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also no 2.0 for PowerPC Mac! I'm safe too!

  19. Re:Badly written firmware. on OpenSUSE Beta Can Brick Intel e1000e Network Cards · · Score: 1

    The /. forced preview is useless if you don't actualy preview the post before submitting :)

  20. Badly written firmware. on OpenSUSE Beta Can Brick Intel e1000e Network Cards · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Any decent firmware for a device should not allow the user to accidentally destroy the device. Looks like Intel skipped on Q&A.

    Linking trojans from /. - that's a 1st !

  23. The FreeBSD Handbook on Server Optimization For Newbies? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The FreeBSD HandBook and a FreeBSD install cd.

    Read-it end to end. Yes, i know it's huge. You won't regret spending the time to read it. Install FreeBSD (even in a VM) and use it. Even if you'll use other operating systems in the furture it's a good read and you'll learn a lot.
