  1. Re:Gameboy SP is not worth it. on Gameboy Advance SP vs Canon Powershot G3 · · Score: 1

    They need some reason for people to buy the Gameboy Advance SP EX.

  2. Re:xbox serial number on Slashback: Circumvention, AOLandfill, Scoffing · · Score: 2

    The XBox is broadband only. Maybe by IP address, but that would be difficult with many ISPs.

  3. Re:Not quite... on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 2

    Here's what I do:

    1. Insert CD
    2. Install developer tools

    Hope that answered your question.

  4. Re:Couldn't have been that bad... on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 3, Informative

    Do a google search for AlterNIC. Or, you could look here:

  5. Re:Acclaim... on Retailers Won't Sell New Acclaim Game · · Score: 1

    It's rated M.

    Come to think of it, I've never seen an AO rated game at all, anywhere.

    Have any even been made, or is it just commercial suicide?

  6. Re:CDex on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Honestly, this seems like a really silly request.

    "I have a good piece of software here, which does the job well, but I did have to pay for it. Software companies which charge money for their products are bad"

    I like free software, I like open source, but I have no problems paying for really good software.

    Regardless of what brainwashing the fsf has done on you, commercial software isn't evil.

  7. Re:How much... on Lessig On Bounties For Spamhunters · · Score: 1

    No, no it's not.

    By your logic, we should blow up the university of washington for developing pine, because some people read spam mail in it. It could also be used for *gasp* SENDING EMAIL.

  8. Hooray for another Aqua ripoff on Lindows 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Wow.

    Another Aqua ripoff.

    Their site, their screenshots, everything.

    I guess it's not just MS that steals from Apple anymore.

  9. Re:In other news... on ISO Could Withdraw JPEG Standard · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Listen. This AYB shit may have been funny years ago, but it's not any more.

    It's time to stop.

    By free, the translation is "you pay for it in your tuition"

  14. Solaris 9 really for intel? on Slashback: Film, Solaris, Contention · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hmm. I looked at the sun link provided above, and it gives you 2 choices:

    Solaris 9 for Sparc
    Solaris 8 for Intel

    Are you sure they're releasing 9 for intel?

    You are the wind beneath my wings.

    Dear god, I wish I had mod points right now.

  16. Re:Also patches some security holes on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 2

    Ack. Quick correction. Looks like just one vulnerability, but 2 exploits for it listed in the advisory.

  17. Also patches some security holes on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    A advisory was issued on Bugtraq today, and the 2 holes it referenced are fixed by 6.02.

    Here's the description (taken from the advisory):

    Opera allows the location of a frame to be overwritten by an url
    containing the javascript protocoll. The javascript code will be operating
    in the same domain as the url that was overwritten. Thus we can read
    cookies from other domains, local file structure and private information
    from the cache (history of links visited).

    You raise a good point. Can you teach an Aibo to moof, like a dogcow?

    In order to keep with the times, maybe it's time to revise KISS to : Keep It Simple Shitfucker.

  20. Re:I used to be a Mac lover.... on Macintosh... The Naked Truth · · Score: 1

    This is honestly the stupidest story I've ever heard.

    Here's a parallel story. Maybe you can see the problems with it:

    "I BOUGHT A COUCH FROM A FURNITURE STORE. IT WOULDN'T FIT IN MY DOOR. THE STORE WOULDN'T TAKE IT BACK. I'LL NEVER BUY A COUCH AGAIN."

    Ok. You had a bad experience with an independently owned reseller. Don't shop there.

  21. Re:The platypus versus the daemon... on Jordan Hubbard Resigns from FreeBSD Core · · Score: 1

    The sad thing was, I think I've done this search before, but couldn't find it.

    I'm also sad because AFGF (ask fucking google first) is a phrase I'm very fond of. I've had my googling schools questioned by an AC. I'm humbled, sir. Humbled.

    Hexley is the Darwin mascot

    That's nice and all, but identical twins don't have the same fingerprints.

    Any questions? ASK FUCKING GOOGLE FIRST.

    Bravo. I'm surprised it didn't snare any SCSI bigots into a flame war though.
