  1. Christ, it refuses to die. on The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware · · Score: -1, Troll

    Like the mildew in my shower.

    What are the chances of porting the upper levels (API) to Darwin?

  2. Attn Eds: on IBM Launches Power site For Developers · · Score: 0, Redundant

    LeninZhiv misspelled DeveloperWorks as DevelopperWorks in the story blurb (note the two Ps). You might want to fix this.

  3. Surprise surprise... on 1 Terabyte Optical Storage Disks · · Score: 5, Funny

    1,000 gigabytes of data and the only application you can think of is the Simpsons?

    *sigh*

  4. Solaris 9? on Solaris vs Linux Continues · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why are we not seeing Linux vs. Solaris X?

  5. Re:LCD lag? on Does Your LCD Play Catch-Up To Your Mouse? · · Score: 1

    800mhz AMD with a built-in crappy video card

    Maybe it's time to think about upgrading, pal.

  6. And they'll sniff... on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Each other, like dogs at one another's butts. Inside of a week that's all that's going to be out there, and the worms will just be bumping into one another.

  7. So... on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Which versions of the various distros will be compatible with LSB 2?

    I am thinking somewhere around Fedora Core 6 or so. Anyone want to hazard a guess? This could get sticky with so many options and yet another standard to abide by...

  8. Direct-to-Market release on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm calling it here. They'll include it for a discount when you buy the game.

  9. Great. on Audio Processing on Your Graphics Card? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now let's see some video rendering on our audio cards.

  10. Tiger? on Java 5 RC Available, Gold Targeted for this Month · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So assuming Apple is keeping up with Sun, Java 5 should work with Mac OS X v10.4, and Tiger will run on Tiger.

    How confusing.

  11. This is a diversion. on ESA Plans Test of Asteroid Defense System · · Score: -1, Troll

    We've survived this long without being wiped out my extraterrestrial matter hitting our crust; we don't need it now. This is a sinkhole for our attention so that other things may be done with our funds without curious eyes watching.

  12. Someone... on How To Make Friends on the Telephone · · Score: 1

    ...ought to write a guide to prank phone calls, updated and accurate for caller ID, etc.

  13. I remember using tape in my old C64. on Backup Tapes: Alive And Kicking · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And now the medium is still being used well into 2004 and shows no signs of fading away. That's over 20 years the medium has been around for, relatively unchanged. Geez.

  14. Old news. on Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview · · Score: 1

    These summaries and screenshots have been around for weeks. Why is Slashdot putting them on the front page now?

  15. I never got the word "blog." on Using Blogs To Dispense Venture Capital · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What is its etymology?

  16. Re:see konfabulator on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 3, Interesting

    iTunes is SoundJam. Apple bought the app, rebranded it, tweaked it, and released it as iTunes 1.0. The rest is history.

  17. Re:Offtopic: Plural of 'virus' on Arctic Ocean Survey May Reveal Lost World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You're wrong.

    With bonus, the plural was boni. Well, there were a lot of plural forms... boni, bonorum, bonis, bonos. So I don't know what you're talking about it having but one plural form identical to its singular. There are many words similar to what you describe in Latin, but bonus is not one of them.

    I also don't know about the other words, since I'm too busy to get my old Latin dictionary out, but I'd wager to bet that they get declined in either the second or fourth declensions and have multiple plural endings (though I will give you that the plural nominative of fourth declension masculine and feminine forms are indentical, maybe this is what you're thinking of?)

    Oh, and if a word is assimilited into a new lnaguage, the plural of that new language is far and away apporporiate for usage with the new word, especially when there is already a class of native nouns that function similarly when pluralizing but have entirely different endings -- the likelihood that the non-native nouns will ever form their own class in the new system is nil. Use some common sense.

  18. I thought Biafra had passed away... on HOPE Conference Gets Wozniak, Mitnick, Biafra · · Score: 1

    From complications of diabetes. If he hasn't, as it seems, who on Earth was I thinking of?

  19. And now Pixar... on Welcome To Planet Pixar · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...is moving to Mac.

  20. Didn't they learn anything? on U.S. Will Use Robots to Patrol Water Supply · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I hope they run FreeBSD in lieu of Windows NT. We've only had about four stalled destroyers due to that operating system. They'll probably end up running something like QNX or VxWorks, though, which are realtime operating systems. Still much better choices than Windows NT/2K/XP.

  21. I read the second edition. on Bicycling Science, Third Edition · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have to say they've changed a lot about the book, more than is noted above. It's more accuruate now, but it's kind of unnerving how many incorrect explanations of fluid dynamics and quantum mechanics slipped by last time.

  22. Where can I buy a ticket? on Rutan's SpaceshipOne Hits 200,000 Feet · · Score: 1

    Vomit bags under seat.

  23. Tom may want to lay off the crack. on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: -1, Troll

    A 700 MHz Celeron on a 8 GB/4500 RPM drive is hardly the "ultimate" multimedia PC. Maybe for 1994 it would have been, but even when it debuted it was at the lower end of what was conisdered a decent box. Nowadays it's woefully inadequate.

  24. Re:Hear hear! on Secure Architectures with OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    Will they give it back to me once they get OpenBSD running on it?

  25. Re:Hear hear! on Secure Architectures with OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    The Power Mac 9600/300 dual uses two Mach V PowerPC 604e processors most definitely not 603 chips. Mach V ate the PowerPC 603 and the early PowerPC G3 for breakfast.
