  1. A hamster in a wheel? on Microgenerators Coming Soon to Electronics Near You · · Score: 4, Funny
    Or perhaps a micro steam engine could be used till the turbine one is fully developed...

    Just imagine:
    >dmesg
    cdrecord: cannot burn dvd,code=72,reason=coal buffer empty
    ACPI: hamster in sleep mode on CPU3, processor offline
    kernel panic: /dev/hda water tank overflow occurs, fsck recommended
  2. Even in Europe... on Intel Helping Asia to Use Linux · · Score: 1

    American software patents are void.

  3. Re:My time is preciouss. on Failing Grades For Most Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1

    Exactly, that was no more than 8 minutes. However, the scanner in question was perfectly supported in the next version of SANE.

  4. Re:My time is preciouss. on Failing Grades For Most Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1

    None. I do all compiles on background.

  5. Human Artists Are Not Droids on Using Computers To Weed Out Art Fakes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had a friend, a painter and sculptor. (If he is still alive, he would be 102 this year.) During his artistic career over 7 dekades he changed his techniques dramatically several times. Some artists are permanently seeking something new instead of mining money on salon style du jour.

  6. Wrong generalisation on Valve Cracks Down on 20,000 Users · · Score: 1

    People are discovering that when you buy any product that is subject to "activation", you haven't really bought anything.

    No. People are discovering they actually have bought nothing. In my country, lawyers would call this a fraud.

  7. My time is preciouss. on Failing Grades For Most Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 4, Funny

    These test results are well worth your time.

    No they are not. I already burned all Windows CDs in the fire. You wan't believe how much time I gained by doing this!

  8. Is Mr. Krill some sort of AI? on Linux Kernel to Fork? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have read the article three times but still it looks to me like a random collection of irrelevant sentences unrelated to each other. Maybe it would make more sense if Paul Krill himself was written in lisp, or drank less if he's a real biological entity. This article looks like a random google cache copy and paste made in php.

  9. Just Asking Slashdot... on Private Spaceflight Law Revived · · Score: 5, Funny

    If private space flight is not currently legal, are UFO abductees actually criminals?

  10. Re:Ok, fine. on Environmentally Friendly Race Cars, Military Vehicles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lithium polymer battery contains no acid. However, I would guess what "greener" actually means in military slang: using a darker color paint...

  11. I solved this... on The Tech Support Generation · · Score: 1

    by systematically refusing to touch unhealthy windows boxes and commanding my friends and relatives to install sane operating system instead.

  12. I can foresee... on MPAA Looks to Sniff Internet2 Traffic for Sharers · · Score: 1

    Lots of SSH tunnels on the Internet 2.

  13. Someone must say it... on Sun-isms Debunked · · Score: 1

    Red Hat is dead.

  14. This technology will add... on Will Our Cars Become Our Chauffeurs? · · Score: 1

    a new meaning to term 'painfull debugging', for sure.

  15. Generic history example on Is The Lone Coder Dead? · · Score: 1

    The so called intellectual property has historic analogon in medieval guild privileges to processing technology. They were supposed to protect income for ruling class, but when they were recognised as a source of inflation and an obstacle to industrial advance, the were dismissed. Often by wars.

  16. No passwords! on Bill Gates Proclaims End of Passwords · · Score: 1

    Unlike everybody, I use no passwords for a very long time. Just because nobody suspects me about it, it works!

  17. Propaganda versus technology?! on Latest Ballmergram Bashes Linux TCO · · Score: 1

    Microsoft syndrome is just a peak of iceberg. For remote observer, economic propaganda steadily replacing real technology is a good recipe to long term disaster. See historic example of the former Soviet Union. Will corporate America be the next empire decayed from within?

  18. must be some good bussiness plan... on High Performance MySQL · · Score: 1

    1. write a 294 pages book about an oxymoron
    2. profit!!!!

  19. Floating point? on The Hardware Behind Echelon Revealed · · Score: 1

    Floating point is really practical in reading emails. Are you sure the guys at CIA didn't missed something?

  20. Astrology tradition on Chinese Satellite Crashes Into House · · Score: 4, Insightful

    According chinese traditional astrology, such event is considered very lucky, because of involvment of heaven element. So the guy's reasoning is very rational in paradigm of his culture. All those of you americans who are slashing and bashing chinese government propaganda in this thread, think at first about your own culture paradigms and government propaganda rooted in them, they are far more dangerous to anybody as well as to you yourself.

  21. Space tourists? on Congress Plans Space Tourism Regulation · · Score: 1

    I thought alien immigration is already regulated in the U.S.A....

  22. My bussines briefcase on Rehabilitating Damaged Laptops · · Score: 1

    A third hand P166/48M Omnibook is an overkill for standard office tasks with Linux, while it was almost unusable on Windows 95. Custom kernel, Slackware + X11 + Fluxbox = 17M only running. I changed the hard drive to 3 Gigs, added dual network/modem and CF card reader to PCMCIA. External ZIP on parallel, for backups. All of that cost me about 105 USD in total.

  23. Re:What do I do with old laptops? on Rehabilitating Damaged Laptops · · Score: 0

    A worthy advice, but where is the "profit!" ?

  24. An obligatory Tron quote on Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Software · · Score: 1

    "Be silent, program! Or you'll be killed!"

  25. Unification and Backtracking on Genome Methods Applied to Reverse-Engineering · · Score: 1

    Prolog configured to huge stacks does the job with a very little code actually writen. If you are sufficiently patient.
