  1. Re:TRUE STORY... I got fired/divorced today on Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why did she fire you? I understand the diveroce thing... but this don't explain you being fired. Does she have a reason to fire you? Or she just did it because she just don't want to see your face anymore?

    I suggest you to take the SCO way: Sue her.

    Now we need a formula to calculate how much time is spent doing nothing in british universities...

  3. OpenVMS accounts on An Interview With Mark Gorham Of OpenVMS · · Score: 1

    Nowadays it is not common to have hardware available to install OpenVMS or any other VMS flavor. This project allows users to create free accounts in a OpenVMS cluster. I have created one for me and I'm trying to learn a little of this system, which looks like very interesting.

    If you want to get started at OpenVMS this book is recommended. It is very basic and for beginners.

  4. Re:But these are mockup images... on Amateurs Beat Space Agencies To Titan Pictures · · Score: 1

    It is a bunch of geeks and nerds processing images and graphic raw data FASTER than ESA. Yes, your question is valid (though it have some flames on it): why is this a good thing?

    In one hand it is a good thing because this shows that personal computers and cheap graphic hardware are powerful enough to let skilled people do marvelous things with it. On the other hand, it may make us think that ESA isn't that advanced as we thought it was. Well, maybe the team responsible for managing the pictures delayed the process or even forget about it (in that case their bosses must be really pissed now).

    None the less, it is a great article and I'm happy to see here at slashdot.

    Sure... finding aliens will improve our quality of life.

  8. Folding at Home on New and Improved SETI · · Score: 1, Informative

    In my opinion the http://folding.stanford.edu/ project is more important and perhaps more interesting than SETI. If you can help, I ask you to contribute with it.

  9. Re:I would like to make the following statement on Updated LOTR Nitpicker's Guide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I give. And I am not alone...

    The deviations are not tiny nor pointless. I indeed agree there are a lot of worse cases around, but for true and purist Tolkien fans the differences between the book and the movie are important issues.

    If you don't like just stop trolling and flaming around... stay quiet.

    Hey, this is Slashdot! Nerds don't simply "watch and enjoy" things...

  11. Re:why GPL? on Universal Free Dictionary · · Score: 2

    I agree with you. Though GPL can be used for any kind of work, it is best suited for works where is possible to identify a "source" and a "binary" (speaking in terms of software).

    A good choice would be the GNU Free Documentation License if you ask me.

    I didn't like it either. I think the logo should show in some way that NetBSD is very portable and it can run on almost every plataform.

    Since when do the nerds/geeks worry about clothing style?

  25. Re:Good movement from China's Gov. on China Closes 1,600 "Internet Bars" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If this group of people could solve anything effectivelly we wouldn't need to worry about drug and alchool problems, just to mention a few. Children do not know what is good for them, and if the parents cannot handle them I believe the Gov. should take the responsabilities.
