  1. Re:That fake computer sound! on Servers, Hackers, and Code In the Movies · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'd kill to have a program that makes terminal output sound like it does in the movies!

    From the beep man page (in Debian):

    When using -c mode, I recommend using a short -D, and a shorter -l, so that the beeps don't blur together. Something like this will get you a cheesy 1970's style beep-as-you-type-each-letter effect

    cat file | beep -c -f 400 -D 50 -l 10

    Check again, you've got to do it the hard way:
    - : float -> float -> float = <fun>

  3. Re:The grand secret of spatial nautilus on GNOME Ignoring its Own Users? · · Score: 1

    I only mention it because I love it and I don't think many of the persons who complain about spatial know about it.

    If you don't like a bunch of parent folders open, then open folders with a middle mouse click. Using the middle mouse button to open a child folder closses the parent. Using it on a parent folder, via the menu in the lower left, closes the cild. This makes it very easy to open multiple windows when you want (copying, moving, etc.) and to keep your desktop uncluttered when you don't.

  5. You meant free software, right? on Venezuela Moves Further Toward Open Source · · Score: 1

    I don't know which article you read, baquiano, but there was no mention of open source software. Is Venezuela looking for freedom or looking for a development process? I hope they want freedom. Too many people, I think, are afraid to use the term "free software" because it is seen as being assosiated with fanatics, or RMS. Don't be afraid. And don't be tricked into thinking that free software and open source software refer to the same thing.

  6. Re:500 Watts on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 1

    The summary is wrong. A 1-minute hover is all that is needed.

    The first rule of PATRIOT act is, you do not talk about PATRIOT act.
    Perhaps this is off topic, but that's a bitingly witty signature you have there. Bravo!
    I like it too, but there should not be a comma in there.
  8. Re:Not such a big deal? on Gosling on Opening Java · · Score: 2, Informative
    Maybe there needs to be a distinction between and Open Source License and an Open Source Development Process.

    Open Source software is based on a development process. You are asking for a distinction between Free Software and Open Source software witch does exist, but is often confused.

  9. The Ten-Second Review on The Power of Persuasion · · Score: 1

    Was that supposed to be a challenge?

    Or am I not up to the Slashdot reading level yet?
