  1. Re:Your Sig on DNS Cache Poisoning Spreads Malware · · Score: 1

    The same way cat /dev/mem | strings | grep -i cromulence works, I suppose.

  2. Re:Sharing internet to Bluetooth still does not wo on 10.4 on Display at FOSE · · Score: 1

    Actually, MissingSync does do it wirelessly. It simulates a serial port over bluetooth. I use it personally to connect wirelessly to my computer with my Palm. The problem is that you can't use internet and sync at the same time.

  3. Silicosis? on Lunar Dust: A Major Worry for Moon Visitors · · Score: 1

    I hope silicosis isn't at all like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. If only I actually knew what that meant...

  4. Re:Sharing internet to Bluetooth still does not wo on 10.4 on Display at FOSE · · Score: 1

    You can setup a PPP server, though, and connect through that with most PDAs.

  5. Tiger on 10.4 on Display at FOSE · · Score: 4, Funny

    Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night. What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful final build?

  6. Re:The actual article on Black Holes 'Do Not Exist,' Contends Physicist · · Score: 2

    I don't know if his evidence is convincing, but the quantity is perhaps not the best measure. Besides, even a one-page paper can be pretty important.

  7. Re:Have they completely missed the point? on Cartoon Network's 1st Original 'Toonami' Series · · Score: 1

    I enjoy the style of anime, but frankly the quality of most made-for-TV anime is pretty low. That's kind of the point--they cut corners so they can churn out shows like mad. Sure, maybe Gendo Ikari looks cool with his hands crossed in front of his mouth, the animators were more concerned with getting away with not animating his mouth. Somehow I doubt this series is going to be any different.

  8. Re:Well, yeah... on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 1

    Running fdisk gave me a boot time of NaN.

  9. Re:Advantages? on Python Moving into the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Just, but pirates prefer Perl because of Parrot. Go shove a frisbee down your throat, freak.

  10. Re:Roland Piquepaille on Burn Grass, Get Green Biofuel · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Reposting his content is not needed and dishonest (how would YOU like someone to steal your work after all). It definitely isn't fair-use.

    I agree with you, and don't think the GP post is justified. Nonetheless, the tactics you rightfully condemn the GP poster for are the same that Roland Piquepaille uses. He doesn't want Slashdot to get less money, he wants Piquepaille to get less money.

  11. Re:Ahh April 1st! on Apple Offers Huge Prizes For Video Game Ports · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why should today be any different than the rest of the year?

  12. prime stake on Apple Offers Huge Prizes For Video Game Ports · · Score: 5, Funny

    This one is almost believable. If they want to make an April Fools joke, they should post a story: "Slashdot Institutes New System to Prevent Dupes."

  13. Re:In some ways I agree. on Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike · · Score: 1

    When Hell freezes over or Pantone's patents expire, whichever comes first. With the way IP law has been going, it's anybody's guess.

  14. Re:Almost nostalgic on The Lifespan of The Nintendo Entertainment System · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, but NES games lack immersion. I mean, how many times have I shot that fucking dog, only to leave him unscathed?

  15. Re:cost? on PSP Not A Sellout Hit · · Score: 1

    That would be "sutsupido Americansu." You remind me of that guy who hated Arabs so he attacked a Sikh. If there's anything I hate more than racism, it's inept racism.

  16. Re:How about on MS, EU Agree on Name for Windows Sans Media Player · · Score: 1

    Electricity is an objective need to achieve many tasks. While WIndows is needed for much software, it is not objectively needed to accomplish computer tasks. I am aware that many people are locked-in to Windows, but this is the fault of so many people complacently adopting it, not of Microsoft.

  17. Re:sigh heard round the world on Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries · · Score: 1

    I think you didn't even make it to the station.

  18. Re:How about on MS, EU Agree on Name for Windows Sans Media Player · · Score: 1

    You could just not run Windows. I don't.

  19. Re:How about on MS, EU Agree on Name for Windows Sans Media Player · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Linux may be the core, but to most people it doesn't matter if the kernel is Linux or UNIX or Plan 9 or HURD or Mach or a bunch of gnomes in an underground factory. Bill Gates was right that an Altair was just a box with blinking lights without BASIC. Likewise Linux is little more than a hacker's curiosity (which it really was to begin with, anyway) without GNU.

    I do think RMS is an egocentric jerk, but really GNU is the heart of the FOSS movement moreso than Linux, but it doesn't get as much name recognition. Besides, there is GNU/NetBSD.

  20. Re:EU? on What's Next At Apple · · Score: 1

    In this case the European "free trade" is a lot like the California energy "deregulation." Namely, wholesalers can charge whatever they want, but retailers have price ceilings. I'm no business major, but I don't think you can profit if you buy high and sell low.

  21. Re:Will $30 more also get you smoking rights? on Internet Access 10 Kilometers High Up In The Air · · Score: 1
    Fast food bad for you too, and nobody is suggesting suing or taxing or regulating it...

    Fuck. I guess it's only a matter of time until /. is outlawed, too.

  22. Re:excellent! on Yahoo buys Flickr · · Score: 4, Funny

    RTFA; they're buying Flickr, not AOL.

  23. Re:Decimal Points or Commas? on Dutch A.G. Supports Scientology v. Spaink Verdict · · Score: 1

    Why not? They changed to the U.S. system of millions and billions when talking about money.

  24. Good enough? on Faulty Chips Might Just be 'Good Enough' · · Score: 1

    At least Intel didn't tell us that the Pentium was "good enough" with its floating point division error (even though it actually was 99.999% of the time).

  25. Re:Ok, this is just a little wierd... on USA National Memory Championships · · Score: 2, Funny
    In other words, Hollywood executives declare writers outdated and unnecessary, and instead shuffle a deck of cards to determine their new stories.

    Often enough, nobody would be able to tell the difference.
