  1. Next on Slashdot on Comparing Linux and BSD, Diplomatically · · Score: 1

    Religion: Which is the One True Faith?

    (credits to snpp.com)

  2. As a long time Simpsons fan... on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    ... lemme tell you I smell trouble ahead... Yup, deep trouble. Frankly, I would be really surprised if it didn't ruin the whole Simpsons experience.

  3. Re:And that's why.... on I am the Most Spammed Person in the World · · Score: 1

    You're telling me ! In the place I work for, I had them believe Slashdot is a source of technical info. Good thing my boss doesn't browse around here... Oh wait...

  4. Reminds me of... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    my /home directory. In fact, since I've started being a Linux user (about eight years ago), I've been progressively creating a whole bunch of directories such as MyDocs, MyProgs, MyData, MyFigs... I was precisely thinking about getting rid of those "My" prefixes because of shell auto-completion.

  5. Re:flops under the belt on Apple's First Flops · · Score: 1

    No way, man ! No way in hell this is allowed when you happen to be married to such a sweet lady as this one.
    If you don't have what it takes, sorry, but she just ain't for ya...

  6. Re:Here's the photo in case of Slashdotting on NASA's Mars Polar Lander Found at Last? · · Score: 1

    Ewww buddy, not the goatse guy...

  7. Re:Configuration--not Compilation--is the problem. on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 1

    First let me say that I believe Gentoo is the most powerful distribution available.

    What the hell does that mean ?

  8. Re:Check out Jobs' wife on Publisher Wiley's Books Pulled from Apple Stores · · Score: 1

    You're kidding, right ?

  9. Re:Even more annoying... on Comments are More Important than Code · · Score: 1
    I know ! I program in Fortran 90, and more than often, I end up with stuff looking like:
    ! -- Build Extended Mapping -- !
    CALL BuildExtendedMapping(IFail)
    Well, duh !
  10. I, for one,... on Chinese Huawei Takes on U.S. Telecom Market · · Score: 1

    ... yeah, whatever...

  11. Professional ??? on Inside the PSP · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you are a professional, then you might want to ground yourself using a static strap to prevent any sudden static discharges from killing your PSP.

    A professional ? You'd better to do that any time you want to take an electronic device apart, professional or not...

  12. I'd say... on Digital Future of the Library of Congress · · Score: 1

    ... that as a universal unit of measurement, it's gonna be around for a while.

  13. Re:Give me... on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, there wouldn't me much point in me 1) buying a Windows copy, 2) installing this stuff on it and 3) experience an unstable system, would it ?
    Ok, the last point may sound a bit trollish and I heard that XP was stable and all (I haven't tried) but when I started using Linux, Windows 95 was a pain. Windows improved, but so did Linux and I don't even think about looking back.

  14. Anybody tried on MacOS X ? on Privateer Remake Complete · · Score: 1

    I've been trying it several times, playing around with the options, to no avail. The dang thing won't run on my 600MHz-384MB iBook. Well, it runs, but it is as slow as hell.
    I guess it's back to Nehack for me, then...

  15. Give me... on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    - Emacs
    - ifort (Intel Fortran)
    - gcc
    - python
    - grace
    - LaTeX
    - Firefox and Thunderbird
    ... and I'll be all set.

    So I guess that's Linux all the way for me (and so it's been since 1997)

  16. What's that ? on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hopefully Lynx users need not worry too much yet.
    You mean the three of them ?

  17. More info... on The Forgotten Huygens Experiment · · Score: 1

    You can find more detailed information about this sad story in Nature.

  18. Itanium is dead... on HP, Intel Call it Quits on Itanium Partnership · · Score: 1

    I don't know if Netcraft will confirm it anytime soon, but I think the Itanium has been dying for a long long time...

  19. Re:Predications on Consensus on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Way to explain the joke and spoil it, man...

  20. LBP600 on New ChromaLife 100 Canon Printer Inkset · · Score: 1

    I bought myself a Canon LBP600 (Laser printer) in 1998... I should have checked before: since it was a Windows-only printer, I had to sell it right away. It died long ago (the buyer happens to be one of my relatives).
    Immediately after having sold that one, I bought a HP Laserjet 6L and it's still working today.
    So, no Canon printer for me, thanks...

  21. Re:EU != France on EU Intent on Hosting International Fusion Reactor · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but you're wrong. EU is proposing the French site as its official site for ITER, after a rather harsch battle between Vandelos (Spain) and Cadarache (France). So, it is not "France against Japan", but "Europe against Japan", or even more accurately "Europe, China and Russia" (+India and Brasil, recently) against "Japan, Korea and the US".

  22. Re:the factor command in Unix/Linux on Fun with Prime Numbers · · Score: 1

    Oh, thanks a lot, buddy... With Thunderbird 1.0 released yesterday, and now this /usr/bin/factor thingy which I hadn't heard of...
    There goes my productivity.

  23. Slow day... on What Your Choice of Linux Distro Says about You · · Score: 1

    Boy, I wonder how this kind of crap can make it to the front page of Slashdot. Kinds of remind me of those phoney tests in teen magazines...
    Way to feed trolls, man...

  24. Re:Yeah, but... on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could splice in some dog genes to get a cat that wags it's tail and plays fetch

    Actually, I have a cat that plays fetch all the time with a plastic mouse. And I didn't teach her. Problem is I generally tire way before her. After one hour, I've had enough... Not her.
    I wonder how long this game can last with a dog.

  25. Not perfect yet... on Rubik's Famous Magic Cube in Lego Form · · Score: 1
    From TFA:
    • The axes in the centre are not strong enough to hold everything together: gaps appear, big enough for corner- and middle- pieces to drop.
    • Partial solution: strapping belts makes the cube much easier to handle
    That's a partial solution all right. All in all, I thing this looks like a fun hack, but it might need some more polishing...
