  1. Re:Moore and the truth on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 1

    Finny how people mod down my relevant and informative post as a "troll". Here's a link again: Fifty-Six Deceits in F911. Go ahead and suppress dissent. You'll only be proving your liberal bona fides. You aren't interested in the truth, only in pushing your nutty-conspiracy political agenda.

    Funny how for someone interested in the truth and liberty you twice post a site much of which is just opinions on supposed contradictory behaviour of Mike Moore and not the film itself (take "deceipt" 7 for example), then complain when someone exercises their democratic right to label your post as a troll, which is not mutually exclusive with being informative.

  2. Re:terrahertz imaging on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1

    The idea is basically the same, using EM radiation and then in the mathematical techniques for reconstructing a 3D image, except the depth of penetration is much greater for radar, the methods for production of EM radiation in that band easier, and THz radiation generally sucks for going through anything with water (including water vapour in air).

  3. Blogs on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    Yes, funny and insightful ones. Like Neil Gaiman's, and Anne's.

  4. Re:Pseudocode for accomplishing this on Apple Releases Rendezvous for Linux, Java, Windows · · Score: 1

    Sweet, except you forgot to add names to Q, also you need to do it at a lower layer :)

  5. Re:This sounds like they are getting ready on Apple Releases Rendezvous for Linux, Java, Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    to release more home electronics type products. After all why would they need Rendevous on non-mac platformsm, unless they were planning on selling a networking device that hooks up to the home network? (like, say, a digital video device or some other home theatre component)

    Like this? Also, I hear portions of XCode are going to be released as open source, anyone got a link? The distributed build stuff is sweet, just tick a box and XCode and Rendezvous do the rest. I heard there's a Linux equivalent to this somewhere, a link would be useful for me right now, thanks.

  6. Terrorist prevention or just for finding criminals on Airport Monitoring of Travellers via Blackberry · · Score: 2, Interesting

    According to this article in Mass. High Tech, Massachusetts State Police stationed at Logan Airport will soon have access (via Blackberry handhelds) to "7 billion records" containing information on "nearly 98 percent of the U.S. population

    Nice to hear so much being spent on a system which wouldn't have had any information on the 9/11 hijackers. And another thing which will get me earmarked for special treatment as a non-US citizen living here.

  7. Dupe! on Unplugging Email To Combat Spam · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdot, more repetitive than spam

  8. Yes, but are the rest stops any good? on Texas Using WiFi to Encourage Driving Breaks · · Score: 1

    Maybe they can set up web site polls instead of this at rest stops.

  9. Re:Glad the model has ben thouroughly tested... on GNOME Gets its Own Software Repository · · Score: 1

    Well I found one of them! ;)

  10. Re:New quote from the future: on Q&A With MIT's Nicholas Negroponte · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Honestly mom, that pr0n was just going THROUGH my device. I think it just got stuck!"

    Like this?

    For people who don't understand URLs and/or HTML: click here

  12. Re:Bulldozer rampage on China to Crack Supercomputer Top Ten List · · Score: 0, Troll

    If I ever read one more "all your base are belong to us" joke on /. I'll go on a bulldozer rampage!

    All your bulldozer are belong to us.

  13. Re:Coming really soon... on Apple Patented by Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    MS Air, the most breatheable air you can find arround

    That would be their next bold move.

  14. Re:OS X Mail on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    For those who are running Thunderbird on OS X, what made you choose this over Apple's Mail program? What features does Thunderbird offer that Mail does not?

    Usenet. I'm quite happy with Mail.app for email, and Thunderbird for reading newsgroups.

  15. Re:Murky on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's geekspeak for Outlook Express

    No, a true geek refers to it as Outbreak Express

  16. Re:Any optimisations? on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released · · Score: 1

    I've found it quite fast for newsreading on OS X. The new theme looks very sweet, btw.

  17. My day just keeps getting better on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    A cute girl calls me and wants to go out on a date (Thursday, wish me luck!). I got a place to stay in the US for a couple of months on my next trip. My favourite newsreader goes to 0.6, as if the 0.5 nightlies weren't stable enough. Pinch me, please!

  18. They are nerds now! on The First-Ever Installfest in Egypt · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone else read this (dsc00836)as a triumphant "Nerds Now" after installing Linux?

  19. Re:Geez on New Debian Installer Coming Soon · · Score: 3, Funny

    What's wrong with:

    tar xvfz package
    cd package
    configure
    make
    make install
    ldconfig


    You forgot the "./" at the front of "./configure", because like any good Unix user you don't have "." in your path. Then it should work for you.

  20. Re:Hmm.. on New Debian Installer Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    have you tried "emerge debian-installer"? can't seem to get it to work on mine..

    Keep waiting...

    Observe how information about what is being said leads to quick breaking of cryptosystems.

  22. Re:Wi-Fi in the Sky... on Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or "Lucy in the sky with Wi-Fi". Puts a whole new twist on the mile high club.

  23. Re:I agree on Video Games - Lost in Translation? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can only win if you don't get the girl at the end.

    Nice to see someone targeting a game at /. readers!
