  1. Oops! on The EU Report on the Echelon System · · Score: 1

    Excerpt:
    10. Protection against industrial espionage
    (missing sections to be submitted following visit to USA)

    "Uh, we were just looking around..."

  2. They're Looking for Sounds... on OpenQuartz: A GPLed 3D Shooter · · Score: 2
    A list of .wav's they're looking for is here.

    With the help of Bell Labs' Text-to-Speech project, this can be done is a jiffy!

    e.g.

    enforcer/death1.wav -> "arrrrrrrrrg"

    enforcer/idle1.wav -> "dum de dum dum"

    enforcer/pain1.wav -> "ow"

    enforcer/pain2.wav -> "ow ow ow!"

  3. Re:Other GPL games on OpenQuartz: A GPLed 3D Shooter · · Score: 2

    There's an entire GPL game company, according to this slashdot article.

  4. Re:FMD on What's the Deal With Writeable DVD? · · Score: 1

    WRT: FMD

    http://www.c-3d.net/

    They're a publicly traded company, yet without a single available product...unless patents count; over 80 and counting.

  5. Re:using it for good, or just using it on The Tenth Birthday Of The World Wide Web · · Score: 4
    One of the questions from the presentation:

    If everyone can make any links he wants, doesn't the whole thing become a hopeless mess?

    yes :)

  6. Re:Slashdot and Common Carrier status on Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot · · Score: 1
    Suppose this had happened at kuro5hin. Would the posts have been deleted? I don't think so.

    Well, I suppose there's an easy way to find out, right?

  7. O'Reilly confuses me... on One-Click Reprise · · Score: 1
    "It's a truism in business that all of the smart people don't work for you."

    I don't get it.

  8. It is a good day to die. on Quantum Computers · · Score: 1
    "The Colorado group and Reichel's group are working on running Bose-Einstein condensates through their microchip devices, a development that would allow true quantum studies to begin."

    You know things are getting cool when components of a computer start getting named after scientists (remember the Heisenberg Compensator?)

  9. Re:Uh crimes are illegal on Electronic Pricetag Alteration · · Score: 1
    "Maybe he didn't have the time to write decent, error free, hack free code."

    You have, quite succinctly, justified the Microsoft business model. Bravo!

  10. Re:Anyone tried to run... on Linux On Windows - The Thin End Of The Wedge? · · Score: 1
    This was the thing to do when running VMware:

    get a machine running NT

    install VMware

    install Linux on the virtual machine

    install the Linux version of VMware on the virtual Linux machine

    install NT

    This probably begs the "people with too much time on their hands" response.

  11. Re:Softimage also coming to Linux! on Linux in 3D · · Score: 1
    Hopefully, Softimage's history regarding release delays for XSI 1.0 isn't indicative of how long it will take for them to release 3D or XSI for the Linux platform.

    I'm curious as to whether there's been any talk of moving Softimage's video editing system, DS, over to Linux. Ever since Avid bought the company, its fate always seemed to be in question (seeing as how Avid already had a video editor: Symphony). I know a few users that swear by DS...of course, I know a few others that just swear at it ;)

  12. Damn the unreliability of the Internet on Making Banner Ads Suck Less · · Score: 1

    ...you may even discover that there is whole world of amazing life outside the Internet, I don't know much about that myself so I can't descibe it to you but I've downloaded pictures of it.

    I've downloaded pictures of this outside world you speak of; I thought I'd take a visit.

    I'm concerned about the lack of naked women.

  13. We doan need no steenkin' libraries! on Petreley on apt-get vs. RPM · · Score: 1
    From Nick's article:

    If it complains about any unmet dependencies such as shared libraries, you investigate your system to find out if those complaints are valid.

    Or in my case, you forget about trying to install that mpeg viewer and go see what's on TV.

  14. Watch where you swing that moon chainsaw! on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1
    To quote from the badastronomy.com site:

    "If Buzz Aldrin accidentally cut off Neil Armstrong's head, you probably won't see that image in a magazine."

    Now THAT would have made an awesome Fox special.

  15. Re:Twinkies on A Robot That Runs On A Sugar High · · Score: 1

    Why not set this up in conjuction with the SETI project? Seek out intelligent life in the far reaches of our galaxy...and eat it.
