  2. Re:I didn't realize wealth was only instant money on Open Source Limitations? · · Score: 1

    Bla, bla, bla. All that touchy-feely, feel-good crap can't buy me one of these.

  3. Re:Enough of the negativity!! on Build Your Own Cityscape · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know a few people who got laid off in the last year or two, and they turned into total bums during that period.

    Are you implying that is a bad thing? Its my dream! (except for the no money part)

  4. Re:Well, fuck it on MTV Movie Awards Webpage Pull a Lone Gunman · · Score: 0, Troll

    The thing is, I was excited for about half a second, before I realized I don't give a flying fuck.

  5. Re:The ONLY thing annoying me... on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 2

    That's pretty cool, but my Mozilla uptimes are pretty high these days; I don't see the splash screen much :) It's not unusual to go weeks with the same mozilla process.

    By the way, since we're sharing mozilla tips, I use MSS to manage my mozilla process. Very handy.

  6. Your .sig on 'Think Tank' Issues Microsoft-Funded Troll · · Score: 2

    I have NO IDEA where to start parsing your sig, but I know thats the last time I run a strange piece of bash again. My uptime, shattered!

  7. In fact, Open Source is SO insecure... on 'Think Tank' Issues Microsoft-Funded Troll · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... that we run it on our OWN damn servers:

    $ httptype www.adti.net
    Rapidsite/Apa/1.3.20 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6


    Who wants to place bets as to when Microsoft learns of this, and promptly switches their systems?

  8. Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash on Crescent Sunset · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Love Is A Burning Thing

    I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

    CHORUS:
    I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
    I Went Down, Down, Down

    I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire

    The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
    When Hearts Like Ours Meet
    I Fell For You Like A Child
    Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

    CHORUS
    I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire

  9. Reminds me... on What Free Cable? · · Score: 2

    Back home (central CA), if you had basic cable, you could just go buy a cable modem and hook it up, and bam, you had internet access. I don't know how or why they didnt have some kind of access control, but they didnt, and I took full advantage. :)

    (Recently, they figured it out, and now you do in fact have to pay for cable modem access.)

  10. Re:A Little Unfair on MS Office v.X Gets Service Release · · Score: 3

    Jesus, does everyone have to take every little comment by the authors so damn seriously? As soon as I read that line, I said to myself "uh-oh, prepare to read umpteen posts pointing out the obvious fact that software development is hard, cut MS some slack, bla bla bla."

    So predictable, it hurts.

  12. Re:Give it to Hoshi on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    I'll second the "cute" thing. They knew what they were doin when they picked the female cast members this time around.

  13. I won't be attending on CmdrTaco Speaking at MacHack in June · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I won't be attending to flame in person, so here you go: you suck, I hate you, I hate slashdot, slashdot sucks, so do you.

    Thank you.

  14. Re:Can anyone ever see the big picture? on Bio-Weapons That Eat Ammunition and Fuel · · Score: 2

    Dude, how old are you? This sounds like it was written by a 12 year old. You say the same thing about 15 times.

    I don't think anyone thought it was a *good* idea to destroy all the Earth's oil reserves.

  15. Re:Avoid the wait... on E3 Doom III Preview · · Score: 2

    Well, I'll be damned! I never new about seq. A long time ago I wrote a perl script to do what seq does. :P

  16. How fitting! on New Internet2 Land Speed Record · · Score: 2

    transferring the equivalent of an entire compact disc's contents across more than 7608 miles (12,272 km) of network in 13 seconds

    Fitting that the first ever use of the internet2 is piracy! I bet it was Eminemn's new cd...

  17. Re:But where is on Nintendo Announces new Zelda, Mario & Metroid · · Score: 2

    True dat. The racing mode got less fun pretty quick, but the battle mode... wow, I have no idea how many hours I spent on that. Toad or Koopa, all the way.

  18. Re:MC Hawking's Tribute on RIP: Stephen Jay Gould · · Score: 2

    Heh, that is actually how I learned just who the hell Gould was. That song led me to look him up. ;)

  19. Re:Can't complain on Are Digital Movies Really Better than Analog? · · Score: 2

    I haven't seen it in a crowded theatre.

    You better hurry... I saw it opening night, and again on saturday night, and the crowd was considerably less enthusiastic the second time. This wasn't a cow-town, tiny theater either; it was the Fox in westwood.

  20. Re:Sony doesn't get it? on XBox Live Network · · Score: 2

    Well, with the recently released FFXI in Japan, I don't think Sony is neglecting the networked gaming market (unlike Nintendo, who is still taking a "wait and see" approach).

    Secondly, with the recent PS3 rumors, it seems clear that Sony sees where Microsoft wants to go with their platform, and is eager to stop them before they see any major success. Sony has the stronger brand, at the moment, so I have my money on them in the long-run.

    I know Nintendo has a strong "its all about the games!" attitude. I know its a strong platform, with great developers; I just hope they aren't caught flat-footed in the console online arena. They should definitely be planning something at the very least as a contingency.

  21. Re:Another episode on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 2

    You're suggesting that one skip the entire discussion as well?

    Oh God forbid if you skip a discussion this time! Oh, the humanity!

  22. Here we go again... on More on the Fine Structure Constant · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everyone seems to love carbon. It is highly overrated if you ask me. Hydrogen, now there's an element...

  23. Re:Way to ruin it *again*!!! on The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can we all stop the "Anakin is Luke's father????" jokes? They've been old for a few years now.

  24. To quote: on Jupiter's Eleven New Moons · · Score: 3, Funny

    To quote someone I don't know, and don't care to look up:

    "The Solar System consists of the Sun, Jupiter, and various other debris"

  25. Re:Gaming Nerds Fasion on The Indie Game Jam · · Score: 2

    I don't know about you, but I don't like black t shirts one bit. Maybe it's all in my head, but lighter colors make me feel cooler (temperature). Kind of a shame that most cool geek prints are done on black (or really dark) shirts. What's wrong with white?
