  1. Re:This is awesome on UPS - Your Computer Repair Depot? · · Score: 1

    damn right. Bonzi Buddy, Weatherbug, and all their evil little brethren keep me in a job!

  2. Re:damn right it's a falsehood on Microsoft Sues Brazilian Official for Defamation · · Score: 2, Funny

    "paradigm". good buzz word. talk like that and you could be a PHB some day!

  3. Re:UT2003 vs 2004? on Unreal Gets Annihilated, Community Bonus · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i disagree. I think with the added features, maps, and gametypes, as well as including the ut2003 content, UT2004 is what UT2003 should have been. it's like they took UT2003 and finished it.

  4. Re:It includes netbeans? on Sun To Upgrade Java Desktop System · · Score: 1

    i think the joke is that you can get netbeans for free, for any linux platform. look around suns website

  5. Re:Waiting for the KILLER virus on Lindows Allowed to Use Company Name in Holland · · Score: 1

    it wouldnt be hard to do to fry a hard drive...the payload of a virus isn't the hard part, and isn't specific to windows. Propegation is the real issue here.

  6. Re:Windows a generic term? on Lindows Allowed to Use Company Name in Holland · · Score: 1

    windows is not a generic term for operating system. "window" is a generic term for "GUI box with stuff in it". therefore, windows is plural of that, and thus, a generic term.

  7. Re:Go IBM on Kill Bill, IBM vs Microsoft · · Score: 5, Informative

    slight nitpick...windows 3.1 had no native TCP/IP stack...therefore everyone used the cute little hack known as trumpet winsock.

  8. Re:No MP3 playing? on Fedora Core 2 Review · · Score: 1

    there is an rpm for fixing the MP3 thing which i can't be bothered to point out to you. Google it. The X.org server is a fork of xfree86 with a different liscense...no real difference yet

  9. Re:Bug When Dual Booting Windows XP and Fedora Cor on Fedora Core 2 Officially Available · · Score: 1

    that's not a bug...it's a feature!!!

  10. Re:Real != Fun on "Real" Real Time Strategy? · · Score: 1

    i definately agree... America's army is so well done, five years ago i never thought a game with so much realism would be so much fun.

    and heck...even without planning...counterstrike aint bad.

  11. Re:which end? on Nonlinear Neural Nets Smooth Wi-Fi Packets · · Score: 2, Funny

    if it is packet-sizing, i suppose it would only have to be on the transmitting end...so you'd basically double your upstream...and if the AP or router has it implemented for ITS upstream, then you get your full speed boost.

  12. Re:Who's using intel anyway? on AMD Beats Intel in CPU Sales · · Score: 1

    If you don't mind lots of integration, NForce2 is a GREAT AMD chipset

  13. Re:Ask on How Many Google Machines, Really? · · Score: 1

    man...if i had a system with that much power under the hood, i'd call it from the rooftops...it's simply amazing, and i wonder why it's such a big secret that we have to speculate...

  14. Re:Read the OSNews article on david on "Missing Link" In Windows Emulation Unveiled? · · Score: 1

    that's a feature, you insensitive clod!

  15. Re:Not really new technology on Stretch Announces Chip That Rewires Itself On The Fly · · Score: 2, Insightful

    yea, but a working implementation is a long way from a concept paper...

  16. Re:RPN! on HP Releases New RPN Scientific Calculator · · Score: 1

    rpn is really just an organizational thing to avoid parentheses. therefore

    (a + b) * (c + d)

    becomes

    ab+cd+*

  17. Re:I am still confident... on Data Transfer Has A Speed Limit · · Score: 1

    i do believe this is the nerdyest conversation i've ever seen...even for slashdot.

    good show!

  18. Re:RPS! on Sony Develops 25 GB Paper Disc · · Score: 3, Funny

    i think i heard of an early rock-based disk prototype. i think it was called the "rosetta stone"...strange stuff

  19. Re:Beautiful. on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i just about wrote this same thing. good first post!

  20. Re:in that case on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 0

    i think what he's trying to say is that even though the binary is small, it still requires much memory to be used...don't be so defensive!

  21. Re:in that case on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    1.5 G for an os is an incredible amount...hell windows 98 only required 200M, vector linux can be installed with GUI in under 100M. i've seen GUI linuxes fit on 1.44M floppies!

  22. Re:Why is this news on Slashdot? on Kernel 2.4.26 Out · · Score: 1

    many of us are still stuck on 2.4 thanks to driver issues etc. That's why it's news. My laptop runs 2.6 like a pro, but the intel 536EP winmodem drivers won't let me run it on my main system

  23. Re:Why not laptops? on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    it would probably be more cost efficient if you could get a deal on laptops without displays...just a thought

  24. Re:fair market value on Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive · · Score: 1

    "The Internet will kill the concept of a band/album."

    damn right. I think the way to think about music is by album. A good album should send a message, it should be a statement, not one radio hit and 45 minutes of filler. I exclusively buy albums on cd and vinyl, and i listen to them streight through. Listening to a good album is like watching a really good movie; even after you've heard it a hundred times, you still can't wait for what happens next.

  25. Mod Parent Up on Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive · · Score: 1

    A borderline relevant monty python quote is ALWAYS on topic!
