  1. mmhmm on James Gosling On The Sun/Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 0, Redundant

    " There are voices of reason, and conspiracy nuts."

    And you expected anything else?

  2. o_O on Rocket Science vs. Barry Bonds · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot... sports? You do realize that would involve getting up and moving right?

  3. Threading? on Forbes Reviews Google's Gmail [updated] · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Once you find the one of the e-mail messages that is part of that exchange, Gmail displays it with related messages in the window. Gmail calls these exchanges "conversations." And clicking on one expands it so that more than one relevant message is displayed at a time. A link at the right of the screen says "expand all," and it expands all the messages that are part of a conversation.

    Similar to threading in Thunderbird / Moz? That is a pretty handy feature, except under Thunderbird it sometimes tries to thread EVERY message sent from a mailing list, instead of individual topics within the mailing list.

    Still, one of my fav mail features.

  4. Re:Dispatch on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 1

    Nah, if it was Orin's, it would melt down the computer and throw acid in your eyes for being an "evil pirate"

  5. Re:Screw chess. Play Go. on Chess Improves Machines and Humans Alike · · Score: 4, Funny

    Even better, GoZen, the game that can only be played by ethereal brain masses on the highest philosophical plane of existance.

  6. Nada on Openness and Security on Campus · · Score: 1

    It's only a 'negative deliverable' if it's on the company's negative agenda. Security isn't hard, TOTAL security, now that's a neg-a-tive.

  7. Where's... on Unprecedented level of Virus Alerts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...the data regarding AntiVirus software purchases, firewall purchases, patch downloads, etc for the same period?

    Since there was an unusually high number of viruses and alerts, it would be nice to see just how it's being handled on the user end. Were there spikes in Norton Anti-Virus purchases? Or are people getting nailed with virus after virus ( a big clue is that it's mostly just a slightly altered form of the virus ) because they're being typical Joe User and not trying to guard themselves?

  8. Wait a minute.. on Introducing RMS-Lint · · Score: 1

    Since it is April Fools Day, why don't we have any SCO stories?

  9. Re:Damn on Australia's Great Linux-Based Satellite Network · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I see you are trying to link to a $20,000,000 satellite, would you like help with that?"
    *Yes I would*
    Windows has encountered a problem and needs to shutdown
    Any work not saved may be lost. We are sorry for any inconvenience

  10. Damn on Australia's Great Linux-Based Satellite Network · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Ursys tried to use Windows but it was 'too unstable.'"
    Good thing, that would have been one big ass Clippy to deal with.

  11. Egad on Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos · · Score: 1

    Makes me really think about living in the town that I live in currently, we're downwind of a Nuclear power plant about 40-50 miles away.

  12. Re:Here you go on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 1

    Actually, Yahoo uses PHP. I would think that Yahoo would be a much bigger test than CNN.com, seeing as how it's the #1 site on the Net.

  13. heh on Startup to Offer Open Source Insurance · · Score: 1

    When I first read that subject line, I thought that someone had devised a plan to have Open Source insurance, as in car or homeowners insurance.

    Which made me think, I wonder if the FOSS philosophy could be applied to things like, say, car insurance.

  14. Now you've done it on MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86? · · Score: 0

    MSN isn't responding ( maybe it's just me )
    Top story on TheRegister tomorrow "MSN goes down amid a torrent of Linux/Firefox HTTP headers, obviously a Linux geek community attack."

  15. Meanwhile at the conference... on Get Listed Free In Gov't Open Source Directory · · Score: 5, Funny

    Daryl McBride stands up with a copy of the book in his hand in front of the conference:
    "As you can see, this is a list of projects that have illegally stolen SCO code and are currently using it to invite terrorism into the US."

  16. hmmmm on Fired Via Instant Message · · Score: 1

    Maybe I shouldn't have deleted that "Sry u r laid of" spam mail..

  17. Forget the UI! on Open-Source Software and "The Luxury of Ignorance" · · Score: 1

    Make the web sites look better!

  18. Re:Not a silly lawsuit on Eminem Sues Apple for Sampling his Samples · · Score: 1

    lesser-known artists are not getting a fair share and have no where to go.

    If their music involves taking other peoples music..err "samples", beating on a turntable and talking fast over it all, then I hope they do go nowhere.

  19. Re:Low (?) level magnetic fields on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 4, Interesting

    According to this page, it's a minimal risk. I remember a study a while back that said that communities that had standard household power lines running through the yards of the homes yielded a higher cancer rate, but now that seems to not be the case.

    Better insulating perhaps?

  20. Wow on Space Burial · · Score: 1

    70 some replies, and no one has cracked a bad joke about Bush's upcoming space plans, and sending the dead into space

    Bush "Cheney.. I'll be back to get you in about 8 years"
    *Waves sadly as pod lifts off*

  21. New Regulations? on Free World Dialup Under The Gun Again · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Would this mean that the FCC will instead write up new regulations and restrictions for VoIP? Instead of lumping it under Telecommunications?

  22. Oh god no on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just wonderful, next thing you know you'll have an "Acer rawkin Neon RT" laptop, or worse yet, some 16 year old goof in history class with his "Acer 2Fast Civic", complete with annoying useless NOZ stickers and an oversized processor fan.

  23. Doh on The 100-Million Mile Network · · Score: 3, Funny

    Here I thought they just had a reeeeeeally long cable.

  24. Ok... on BBC Argues Games Don't Cause Violence · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Let's hope this story actually has some thought put into it, unlike "Linux users unleashed MyDoom"

    I wouldn't be surprised to see them blame violence on Linux users :P

  25. Good book on MySQL: Building User Interfaces · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have this book on my desk currently, its definitely a good resource on using MySQL for programs. The only gripe I had with it was that it didn't come with the source code, like was said in the review. I like how it focuses on converting the VB programmer over to GTK conventions.

    Maybe someone should send Mike Rowe a copy after he gets out of Redmond-Training.
