Wow !!! Thanks a lot for posting this . I am ready to volunteer. Finally..... I will get the millions I deserve.
Any one knows a Ferrari dealer around here ??? I just spent 100 bucks on a new optomagnetic mouse which cures AIDS and cancer (After all I will be getting millions soon)
Just wondering if any gamers actually own a PET. Reading the article tempts me to own one (esp if I can get it for really cheap).
I have played only a couple of time on a tabletop aracade , wonder why they got phased, I for one would like to play on one today too( maybe with fancier graphics with alpha blending and all !!)
I know apple probbaly wont agree, but looking at the sucess of OSS, doesnt it make sense for them to simply open iPod and release its source code, so anyone with lots of time to spare can write interseting and useless plugins.
These will ultimately result in the iPod becoming more popular
If MS goes **whoff** poor EU wont have anyone to fine and the whole of Europe will go in a major economic depression dragging US and the rest of the world with it which will lead to unrest and wars and destroy the human race. This will make the mice angry as they wont find the question to 42 and being hyper projections of super intelligent beings they will end the universe and everything.
If microsoft disappears I guess./ will be the worst hit.
Just like,if there is only good left in the universe then wont religion be redundant! Dont let it happen !! Save microsoft so we can have something to bitch about .
As a social service I am accepting contribution for saving MS. I promise all the money will be spent on buying licenses of MS Office and Windows XP.
What about the spam ( all those cd's ) AOL sends me via snail mail ?? Can they sue themeslves for it ??
Though I do hope the junk Cds dont stop I use them as disposable cup coasters.
Thank goodness !! I was busy collecting 679$ for the linux license , cos I thought I might be the lucky one to be sued. (Since IBM didnt pay they might decide to sue me and get 680$ so that they can afford to place an advertisement to sell of their property(I mean the real estate and not the linux rights.) Now I guess I'll need to wait a few more days to get the letter from SCO.
Really unbelievable news. 20$ bill microwave burning is passe. The really hot(no pun intended... have to say that or no one notices the pun) news is that $ 50 , $100 and $1000 bills DO NOT burn. Can you belive it ?? Of course you wont but try it out and tell me then !! Infact I can even prove it. Send me your 100$ bills and I will microwave them and send you the photos of the unburnt bills (and even post a story on slasdot).
The only obvious explanation is that the treasury department has tied up with the big league ransom mongerers, kidnappers and SCO and has decided to protect them by not puttng radio tags in the large denomination bills( which explains why SCO does not charge $20 for Unix licenses)
PS: pls hurry up, so I can quit my boring job and spend all my useful time reading slasdot and photographing your 100$ bills (and buy a SCO license for my machine).
Thats a good point. Infact 60cents an hour for a GDP of USD 1800 translated to US$13.33 per hour (for a GDP of 40,000) and $13.33 an hour... phew... if I could afford that I could even afford to buy Windoz ( and hire an assistant to patch it every two hours when MS releases a new 'software update patch')
They even have a site for linux in Iran. linuxiran.org says that "
We, at linuxiran.org! are happy that with your help Iran's first site dedicated to GNU/Linux and FLOSS, is the most active GNU/Linux site in Iran today.
To find out more about linuxiran.org! and our group or GNU/Linux and FLOSS in general, please read the FAQ.
I'm still a newbie to slashdot. I was just wondering why my msg got moded down as 'redundant'. It answered the main topic " What is YOUR fav google feature", Google Sets is fantastic and no one else seems to have mentioned it before.
Just wanted to know what was wrong ( feels sort of bad to have your 1st slash dot comment marked 'redundant').
Yeah, I sort of agree, but we aren't talkng about software in wild are we ?? It was a project by NASA , the code would be comparitively small in size and the funds enormous so I still believe verification would be the way to go.
What really surprises me is that NASA did not verify the software. Software verification is essentially mathematically proving the software. It is tedious and expensive but we are talking about NASA and the Mars. Infact even beloved MS formally verifies device drivers before use ( believe it or not !!) If the original program was correct they wouldnt have to reupload it and the entire problem...gone.

Is Tom telling us that someone out there still uses Windows !!!! And of course, I can see flying horses from my window .
Linux : Think outside the MS box

I hadnt hear of Loki ever !
Is is by any chance similar to Black and White (without the creature of course) or is it more like Warcraft ??
Think alike, dont we ??
My guess is that they want to play Doom3 with a fps higher than 5 fps.
Is Unreal Doomed

Wouldnt it be ironical if the Iranian gov decided to censor the net content using the best possible software aka. some OS filter on linux
Dont be too sure.
Even now MS even offers input language support for Kazakh, Estonian, Kyrgyz so farsi shoudnt be too difficult. Though of course I cant believe anyone cares abt that enough to use MS.

If every one in Iran started using linux, SCO could stage a come back by suing all Iranians in the Islamic court in Iran
Dont offer them Windoz free to get a diplomatic upper hand. They will think it was intentional sabotage and ....
Thats becos most OSes (read Windows) contain code for encryption support which could have (many) military applications.
Thanx for cheering me up. I had posted a couple more coments and they have got modded up. And my Karma is now positive !!(which feels great)

I looked at the site and the manuals arent online. I there any information abt how the enigma coding actually work ????
