  1. Re:Only 5? Pity... on NASA Quakesim Predicts 15 Out of 16 CA Quakes · · Score: 1

    By the time Quake 5 or 6 comes along, it'll just be actually running around with a real machine gun. When you die, they bring you back to life.

  2. Re:Uh on Google Launches Google Print · · Score: 1

    SHH!!! Don't tell them! At the very least you could have not made a hyperlink and just insisted they google for it.

  3. Re:I have a friend on Coping with Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    I agree wholly. Actualy, my thesis wasn't too far from this subject. We can't just keep prescribing medication, we need to re-ground these people in real life.

  4. Re:Review or extract? on A Selection From 'Running Money' · · Score: 1

    Wait, not reading "TFA" or "TFP" is abnormal?

  5. Re:I'm fine with it... on Walk of Game Honors Industry Paragons · · Score: 1

    No, the obvious winners would be Tetris, Mario, Zelda, and Vice City.

  6. Re:Beware of Grues on 2004 IF Competition Games Available · · Score: 1
    That's funny, I was debating whether to mod-or-post myself.


    Oh? What did you choose?
  7. Re:Spam Harvesting on 100 GB Email Account · · Score: 1

    You know, you're going to hate me, but I haven't gotten a single piece of spam yet on my gmail account, and usually only about 2-5 per day on my yahoo account. Stringing together a lot of German words into a single, sixteen character jumble, and using that as your account name (GMail, that is) seems to do the trick.

  8. Re:My God! on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 1

    I really don't want them to improve Windows. Really. When I tell people to use Firefox, they say "But SP2 has a popup blocker! And I don't get spyware now!" I have no good reason to have people move to Free (as in FSF) Software, except for on principle and cost. And if they keep improving the OS, chances are they're going to lock out others who would be converts because they got fed up with MS's crap.

  9. Re:...and cost. on USB Thumb Drives as ... Fashion Statement? · · Score: 1

    You can now buy a 64 MB stick for 20 dollars from a German band who are (I think) the first to distribute a new single on USB Sticks. Plus, the USB stick has a fashionable design of the band's logo on it. It's a good band if you like Punk Rock and/or German.

    One of their songs (written and sung in English)
    A German song.

  10. Re:Anyone have a working copy? on First JPEG Virus Posted To Usenet · · Score: 5, Funny

    I extracted the bad code, but I'm having trouble getting it to run in WINE.

    Just one more reason Linux isn't ready for the desktop.

  11. I'm left out... on Interview with Tom Lord of Arch Revision System · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Every revision control system has its supporters and detractors, but none is as polar as Arch. Either you hate it or think it is the best thing in revision control ever."

    They forget those of us who have never heard of it before.

  12. Re:"adult fantasy novels"? on Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell · · Score: 1

    So you mean moderators, right?

  13. Re:I just don't get the allure of VOIP on AT&T Announces VoIP Program · · Score: 1

    I enjoy it a lot. I can talk to people I meet on online dating services for essentially free. California, Maine, doesn't matter. I like the long distance aspect the best of all.

  14. Re:direct ancestor? on Source Code for CTSS released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Linux written by Linus Torvalds back in the early 90's?

  15. Funny... on Open Source Licensing · · Score: 1

    How he starts off the review saying essentially that nobody who isn't a lawyer should need this book.

    I'm a developer; I know all I need to about OS development and the licenses.

  16. Re:No, no, no! on Would You Hire A Hacker? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's the sociological theory of "Symbolic Interaction"

  17. Re:NO! on Anti-Spyware Bill up for Vote in Congress · · Score: 1

    Support this, my friend!

    Think about the "(YOU) CAN-SPAM act" and what is still going on. If anything, I'm getting more now that it has been passed.

  18. This is like outlawing spam on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Spam is more or less illegal. I still get plenty of offers to enlarge my penis every day. How does this help anything?

  19. Re:devious on Spam Opt-out Link Triggers Malicious Code Attack · · Score: 1

    I'm still having trouble getting it to work in Wine.

  20. Another good reason... on Spam Opt-out Link Triggers Malicious Code Attack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...to get SpamAssassin.

  21. Re:As someone who actually used it... on The Voice Over IP Insurrection · · Score: 1, Informative

    Vonage (rhymes with "pwnage", or at least it should). They had decent tech support, but I think it was irreconcilable. I'll try out the new technology before I cancel the old, but recommendations said I didn't have to worry. My internet is kids of crappy so that may account for the downtimes.

  22. As someone who actually used it... on The Voice Over IP Insurrection · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had VoIP for about 3 weeks (early June to June 30) before I got too frustrated. It was down pretty frequently; not nearly as dependable as my AT&T line. I got an echo, and the sound quality never was as good as a phone. I just decided to stick to cellular access, and cancelled before I started another month of fees. I'm happy with AT&T.

  23. I like... on Your Favorite Political Weblogs? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Heartless Libertarian. He's a gun owner who lays things out straight.

  24. You joke... on The System of the World · · Score: 0, Troll

    I ordered the CD "Planet Punk" by die Aerzte on December 21st, and received it exactly 6 months later, June 21st. I have since stopped buying stuff from them. I don't care if it costs a few bucks more at bn.com, I want my stuff on time!

  25. Re:Slashdotting here we come on The Living Room Candidate · · Score: 3, Funny

    You'd think the website of a museum whose *only feature* is streaming videos would have better sense than to submit itself to slashdot, but nooooo...
