  1. Umm... on Burn the CD on Both Sides · · Score: -1

    Couldn't a laser of this caliber be pretty dangerous, or, at least, prohibitly expensive?

  2. Compilation jokes on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    _ROFL_ I just can't get enough of them, they are all just so original, _LMAO_

  3. Re:Rant time on Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther · · Score: 0
    Of course, you could just type "apropos count words," which will promptly display:
    wc (1) - print the number of newlines, words, and bytes in files
    Fascinating, isn't it?
  4. Windows is obviously superior on New Linux Kernel Crash-Exploit discovered · · Score: 4, Funny

    It doesn't require external programs in order to crash.

  5. Status report? Easy: on FreeBSD Status Report March-April 2004 · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's dead.

  6. First post? on Megway - New Competition For The Segway · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what's the point? To make people look even more stupid that they do on a segway?

  7. Um... on Build A Stereo From an Old Hard Disk · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, yeah, it's possible to build a stereo from a hard isk...

    I'm sorry, but I don't think very many people enjoy the screeching sound of a needle penetrating a harddisk-platter.

  8. Yay! on Mono Project Releases Beta 1 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now GNU/Linux users can enjoy .DLL's as well!

  9. Re:BOFH... on Two Funnies: BotBOFH and Joy of Tech · · Score: 2

    Actually, the problem is that the real-life users of present day are far more stupid than those in BOFH, thus mostly making us envy him.

  10. JOE was put here to tempt the faithful! on JOE Hits 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Do not give in! Listen to the mighty ed!

  11. Slashdotted? on Wooden Computer Accessories · · Score: 1

    Making monitors and mice of wood is all good and great, but they really shouldn't build a webserver out of the stuff.

  12. I thought it couldn't get any worse... on Microsoft Eyeing AOL? · · Score: 4, Funny

    But then I thought of the combined cluelesness of AOL and Microsoft support combined. Be afraid.

  13. Can a Windows-user use it? on Novell Announces SUSE Linux 9.1 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm thinking of migrating my family (actually my father) to GNU/Linux, but I'd require a distribution that is at _least_ as userfriendly and GUI-oriented as Win98 - that is, he'll never need to touch the command line after initial installation. I had originally planned on trying out the new Mandrake 10 (run Gentoo myself, but I doubt he'd like having to wait hours for applications to compile :-) ), but now I'm thinking of giving SuSE a go. He's not really that computer-savvy (he doesn't want to be, he was quite proficient back in the DOS days), so I want to secure him a distribution that's easy to use with all the odd peripherals (cameras, USB-disks, scanners, etc.). Would SuSE GNU/Linux fill this role?
