  1. A bussines plan... on Do You Have A License For Those Facts? · · Score: 1

    1. Put a copyright on your name
    2. Issue a public licence with a price on you
    3. Collect license fees from everebody who is listing you, including your bank, your government, tax collector office, police, military and everybody who has you on his PIM.
    4. Profit!
    5. Sue everybody who won't pay
    6. More profit!

    Ooops, I missed the obligatory ???? point. Hmmm, maybe it's a working plan...

  3. Flight Simulator is not orginated at Microsoft on MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86? · · Score: 1

    I remember the very same engine at 8bits, C64 as well as ZX-Spectrum, with the same errors in maps (nav positions) as years later on IBM XT. So they used to buy a fully succesfull product to stamp it with their logo. BTW, the same happened with Dungeon Siege and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.

  4. This gyroscope device... on Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse · · Score: 1

    ...inside could be a quite interesting electromechanical component for home made tiny robot walker, similar to AT-PT or AT-ST from Star Wars.

  8. Re:This is all cool, but... on Mind Over Machine · · Score: 1
    Maybe I'm an alien civilization and this post is one letter in a word in a sentance of a message to humanity?

    Warning: This planet is under exclusive control of Sirian Empire. Your interference with our Slashdot human con-trolling agenda is a violation of Intergalactic Temporary Cease Fire Agreement which applies to your civilisation no more. Destroyer fleet dispatched.

  9. Tech harmony: HOWTO on Correlation Between Stress and Technology? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am not stressed by any tech environment at all. I occasionally break any frustrating items to small shreds and pieces viciously.

  10. And some new Microsoft applications... on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft SmithX Agent

    A small utility which greatly speeds and simplifies implementation of dos copy command as well as FileCopy API function.

    Microsoft Oracle SQL

    A complete replacement for Oracle Oracle, Microsoft Oracle is a database engine with Stupid Query Language. Now, You can give simple questions as "Uh?" or "Eh?" to your OLAP data cube.

    Microsoft Architect

    New antivirus tool. In case of vrus or worm detection, it completely wipes out anything from your hard disk and keeps your computer clean and safe, reinstalling a pure initial version of XP reloaded without your intervention.

  11. I miss the joke on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 1

    So, where is an obligatory necrofile cannibalist overlords salutation joke?

  12. Re:redhat 6.2 upgrades, too on Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6 · · Score: 1

    (it also helps that my one commercial program, the frau. mp3 encoder, which I bought for way too much money, needs that ancient version of libc, sigh. that's one thing that keep my linux boxen all at redhat 6.2 - but with all BUT libc upgraded).

    LOL. It is not worth for you to run that ancient stuff with customized LD_LIBRARY_PATH and having all of your system up to date? Read some man pages please.

  13. I hope... on Subversion 1.0 Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...there will not be a Slashdot story posted on every project released on the Freshmeat. That would be disastrous.

  14. logically unconnected facts? on Chicago Police Force Wins CIO Magazine Award · · Score: 1

    I don't see the causality between fact the Chicago police has some database and fact the Chicago crime rate actually dropped. First, it should be logically proved that having a particular database should lead to crime rate drop and not having a database should not lead to crime rate drop. Otherwise, having a database is irrelevant to crime rate.

    Anyway, a typical police state propaganda. You can use it's formal logic flaws to detect it. Anytime in history and anywhere in the world.

  15. The reason behind... on New EU IP Law Deemed Harmful · · Score: 1

    ...is to protect european technology markets from cheap, fake and low quality chinese products actually produced by american corporations offshored to Asia.

  16. Imperial stormtroopers... on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, we understand. G.I. Joes are a dispensable material. There is no need to feed them up when they may die. It's a plain waste of food.

    Also, it reminds me of medieval common practice to pay only living soldiers after the battle.

  17. 99% of the PC diagnostics... on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1

    ...can be made by booting Linux and looking at kernel messages. You can spare your bucks of course.

    This way, I already detected a memory chip failure which brought my friend's Windows to knees after 30 minutes of running.

    "If it can't boot linux, it's broken." is may favorite saying.

  18. Sanskrit was an artifical language itself on Extinction Of Human Languages Affects Programming? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Suddenly, in my library I have a print of Panjali's Mahabhasya, which is an ancient commentary to fragment of Panini's excelent grammar of sanskrit. It contains original text of Panini's, which begins with a verse:

    Atha sabdaanusaasanam.

    which interprets and translates (by me):
    atha sabda anu-sa-asanam
    here-topic (is) sound detail-layout

    Of course, this grammar and semantics theory of the human (and godly) language predates many centuries our western cybernetics theoreticians of the XX. Sanskrit grammar was formally canonized by Panini as well as today's standards of computer coding languages. No other human language before esperanto and modern programing languages was result of such scientific effort.

    Some 20 years ago, it was not a surprise for me, being a programmer and yogi adept at the same time, that the world is "programable" by language. Old magicians and siddhas of ancient times knew the "keywords", even today called "mantras" which enabled to operate the universe itself.

    IT IS THE LANGUAGE WHICH CREATES A REALITY.

    Because it is the same language which operates a mind. And we should ourselves made some effort to operate both of them correctly.

  19. Re:Nice code snippet on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 1

    It is really silly. They say encoding to that??? I can't believe it. All of their strings...

    The first time I broke a xor "encoding" was in early eighties, in 8-bit Z80 assembly, for some Spectrum arcade I was not able to win so I needed a cheat for lives count. Romantic times. Now, I wish I could have a cheat for gray hairs count.

  20. They got it, finally on US Congress Committee Talking About Privacy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's perverse code!

  22. Instead of MMORPG mythology... on Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    They really should do MMDOWXP, massive multiprogrammers debugging of Windows XP, yeah. Otherwise Windows become a mythology itself in few years.

  24. Empire needs you! on Outsourcing As A Source Of U.S. Jobs · · Score: 1

    I guess all those jobless yankees could simply join the army. With 2.6M stormtroopers, US could conquer some another continent for them, er... their corporations, to colonize for cheap resources.
