  1. Re:Works from Canada... on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    Works from here, Vancouver Canada too.

    i sure wish we could vote :)

  2. disadvantages on Thinking About the SnitchCam · · Score: 2, Informative

    can anyone thing of any disadvantages of this? whatever you are doing in public, you probably wouldn't mind if someelse recorded it on camera.

    as long as this isn't used in private places, such as a doctor's office, or the local changeroom, i don't think this is a bad idea at all.

  3. Re:Updated Packages on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 1

    it already has gnome 2.8, but still ships with xfree86 as shown in the package list

  4. Why Linux? on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    why not create a freebsd-based distribution, or maybe even an OS designed from scratch for the desktop? you have the resources to do so much. what made you choose linux?

  5. Re:Great now im going to lose my job on Flying By Brain · · Score: 1, Insightful

    that is, by far, the worst joke i've ever heard :)

  6. excellent! on AMD's Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 3, Interesting

    just what i was looking for. i need something for http/ftp/print/etc server. and also something for a freebsd firewall, a full computer would be too much.

    good job AMD (if it runs FreeBSD)!

  7. canada on Sony Quietly Opening Retail Stores · · Score: 5, Informative

    in canada, sony has had stores for long time. there is one here in vancouver in a mall in the suburbs, not news (at least not to us).

  8. 15 bucks on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    15 bucks is a lot anywhere for a cd! personally, i don't think it's justified to spend that much on a cd that maybe has 1 or 2 songs worth listening too.

    that's why i like online music stores where you can get singles for $1. something like this could really kick of in russia, not sure what the internet usage is over there though.

  9. pointless on Xandros Recruiting Beta Testers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    why would i want to give my phone/address/etc information, to do a beta test, for a linux distribution that isn't even free!

  10. Re:Bush Mode on The War Of The Virtual Worlds · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I switched it into G.W.Bush Mode, and ended up with a big charcoal sphere :-P

    impressive! when i tried in Bush mode, i didn't even get a sphere!

  11. Re:What would've been more helpful on Programming Assignment Guide For CS Students · · Score: 1

    if( blah = true ){ // common single equal sign mistake

    i've ran into this many times, luckily, gcc puts out a warning suggesting to put parentheses around this.

    this way, you know that either you need 'if (blah == true)' or 'if ( (blah = true) )'

  12. ripoff on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    take a look at the specs. at $1699, this is a ripoff. you're paying for eye candy basically.

    i can make a MUCH better computer for that price.

  13. Re:Pre-emptive Slashdotting? on Build Your Own Drum-Playing Robot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    nyud cache going in circles for some reason :+( :
    here

  14. Re:Cool but expensive!! on The Conference Bike · · Score: 2, Insightful

    seriously? you see money as the biggest problem?

    be honest, if this bike was $50 ... including shipping, etc, would you buy it?

    PS: good luck trying to find someone who want to ride with you on this thing ;)

  15. excellent! on The Conference Bike · · Score: 1

    this is excellent!

    fred flinstone would be VERY proud!

  16. 3.8 ghz chip on Intel Scraps Plan For 4 Ghz P4 Chip · · Score: 1

    anyone know if the 3.8 ghz chip will be for socket 478? or just for 775? i couldn't find any info on this.

  17. night map on Global Air Pollution, From Above · · Score: 5, Interesting

    note how the red areas are somewhat similar to the light areas on the nasa night map

  18. packagin on Slackware Likely To Drop GNOME Support · · Score: 0, Troll

    Right now, I think
    removing it would be the best thing for Slackware as it's become a maintainance nightmare (unlike nearly every other ./configure'ed source, GNOME doesn't build into packages easily with DESTDIR).


    now even i thought slackware's packaging system was sufficient (despite what others say), but if you are building and packaging by relying on DESTDIR, you really do need a change in the packaging system.

  19. Re:Er... on Scientists Define Murphy's Law · · Score: 1

    You know that was a joke, right? Right?

    did you read the article? after reading it, didn't seem much like a joke to me. /. just put it in the 'its funny, laugh' section.

  20. shipping? on Biggest Console System Collection on eBay · · Score: 1

    too many items . i feel one heck of a shipping cost.

    although it may be cheaper to drive there and pick up yourself, if you live not too far from NC.

    well, i wouldn't worry about that, should be only a fraction of the bid, currently at $5100

  21. why! on John Doerr Disclaims Rumored GBrowser · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Now it makes you wonder why Google registered gbrowser.com?

    well, gmail caught so much attention to competitors and made them all increase their inbox limits. maybe they thought registering it will do the same and increase the quality of browsers on the market?

    ok probably none of this is true. just a thought that came to my mind though :)

  22. try this on Coping with Gaming Addiction · · Score: 4, Funny

    try and play doom3 on a radeon 9200 . that should scare you away from video games for a few weeks.

  23. VFAT Patent on Microsoft FAT Patent Rejected · · Score: 4, Informative

    i think i should remind everyone, this patent is not on the FAT filesystem itself, but the VFAT extension for long file names. (which, if you know how it works, is nothing innovative)

  24. ISO's only? on DragonFly BSD Introduces A 'Stable' CVS Tag · · Score: 1

    is there any other way to install other than ISO? i want to test it out, would be nice if there was another option, at least install from fat partition or something.

  25. sigh on 11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs · · Score: -1, Redundant

    apparently, they don't have a 'banana-sized' connection :(
