  1. Re:hehe on Gravitational Wave Detection Imminent? · · Score: 1

    That's obviously false, because you can only spend one point on a post. It doubly false because slashdot won't let you moderate any more once a post has hit a bound on either end.

  2. Re:Death of Doom3 on Half-Life 2 Taken Seriously · · Score: 1

    There are derrivatives of the doom3 engine. I think it is too early to tell if Doom3 or HL2 has/will have more games based on it, but I can say for sure, Doom3 is not a dead engine.

    I'm 18 and I got it.

    Of all things, why don't shipping companies use UTC? There's no ambiguity there...

  6. Re:quake 4 linux on Quake 4 Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That is just used as a benchmark. If they were to say "OpenGL 1.5 [or whatever they use] compatable", nobody would have any idea what they were talking about.

    $4 per what? Gallon? Litre? Hogshead? Football field?

  8. Re:This is VERY GOOD news on IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source · · Score: 1

    Well yeah. You'd hope that they'd at least buy out companies before donating their technology all willy-nilly. :D

  9. Re:This is VERY GOOD news on IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source · · Score: 1

    Rational what? They're a company... they make several products.

    And lastly, the size of Texas.

  11. Re:Jack of all trades on Flock, the New Browser on the Block · · Score: 1

    Except when following up with "all trades".

  12. Re:ipod on The Gameboy Micro Reviewed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think you mean smaller and more expensive, with less features and large flaws.

  13. Re:I disagree. on Shuttleworth on Ubuntu's Direction and Intent · · Score: 1

    It has it, except it is crippled in that you can only do striping. Unless you open up some choice DLLs with a hex editor and change a couple of bits.

  14. Re:I disagree. on Shuttleworth on Ubuntu's Direction and Intent · · Score: 2, Informative

    Home edition also only supports two CPUs max, is missing software RAID, and cannot be configured to host Remote Desktop connections. It has remote assistance, but not RDP. I'm sure that there are several more features that are sorely missed in XPHome.

    cls is DOS. clear is UNIX. ^L is a cool one though, thanks!

  17. Re:The Art of War on Implementing the Bureaucratic Black Arts? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I admit that you may have more experience than me in office politics, but I can't see how telling management that a nearly-done project is actually done is a good idea. Fudging numbers also sounds counter-intuitive. It almost sounds like you're giving tips on "how to be part of office bureaucracy" rather than "how to release a good product amidst office bureaucracy".

  18. Re:Not really accurate on Google's Patents Reveal Strategy To Beat Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Too late to block google? That made me laugh. If they did that, it would be a scandal that would put the previous antitrust ordeal to shame.

  19. Second Spam on Blog Binging Gorges the Net · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Blogs are turning into the second spam of the internet. Some of them are legitimate and interesting, but a vast majority are not.

    Ahahahahah BURN! I agree though.

  21. Re:Hexus link? on An Early Look at StarOffice 8 · · Score: 1

    Two stories were already posted linking to Hexus today, which has completely totaled their servers due to the slashdot effect. I hope you can figure the rest of the joke out...

  22. Re:You better believe it's a threat. on Are Cell Viruses A Real Threat Now? · · Score: 1

    Belive it or not, that's exactly what I do. While I do have several pockets, I rarely use them because I have a backpack.

  24. Re:is MD4/5 really encryption ? on Microsoft Drops Aging Encryption Schemes · · Score: 1

    That doesn't sound right to me. The whole point of keypair encryption is that anyone with the public key can encrypt, but only the people with the private key can decrypt.

  25. Re:nice on MS Upgrades To Be Smaller And More Frequent · · Score: 1

    The pirates did little work in removing the calling-home functionality of the oh so popular FCKGW release of WinXP. What they did is release a Corporate Edition of WinXP, which was designed to use a volume licence key, and therefore not call home in the first place.
