  1. Re:Link dead... on Cyrix Hotplate Howto · · Score: 1

    I'd like to be the first to formally welcome you to Slashdot.

  2. Re:While we're fantasizing ... on Red Hat Promises A More Vibrant Fedora · · Score: 1
    Basically I'm not sure that you can have bloat free and choice in a distro.


    Ever heard of Slackware? It's definitely not bloated and still provides a huge assortment of packages.
  3. Re:I'll guess is how it's written... on 'Make' Premier Issue · · Score: 1

    Of course! We don't want the publisher getting all the issues!

  4. I'll guess is how it's written... on 'Make' Premier Issue · · Score: 3, Funny

    tar xzvf make-magazine-1.1.tar.gz
    cd make-magazine-1.1
    ./configure --pages=192
    make articles
    make magazine

  5. Re:Try ESL Materials on Technology to Help with Learning Disabilities? · · Score: 1

    Rappers and their fans that speak English natively are in sore need of something like that.

  6. Re:Mysterious Future on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    What, we can predict how Shirley Jackson stories are going to end?

  7. Re:Speaking of Windows booting... on Anatomy of the Linux Boot Process · · Score: 1

    2000/XP don't really have a verbose boot, just a list of drivers and such being loaded and then an NT4-style info screen (Microsoft Windows Version 5.1 (Build 2600)) if you boot with the /sos switch.

  8. competition on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Find the prices of the local places (Best Buy, CompUSA, mom-and-pop setups), average them, and undercut by about $10-20. Make it known that you charge less than the other places. Voila.

  9. Re: kernel on Slackware 10.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Wasn't 2.2 removed by 8.1 and 2.4 upped to 2.4.18?

  10. Re:SYS 64738 on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    Very nice sig. I don't think too many people would get it.

  11. Re:"Consumers?"? on 4 Linux Distros Compared To Win XP, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Ever hear a 14-year-old girl answer a question in school? It's fricking INSANE hearing them turn a statement into a question:

    "What happenened in 79 A.D.?"
    "Vesuvius erupted?"

  12. Re:Ubuntu on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    Or...how about Debian on servers, and Ubuntu on clients? They can be maintained the same way (apt) and are, at the base elvel, still Debian.

  13. He talks about developing games.... on Doom 3 vs. Source: Comparing Engines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And completely neglects engine extensibility. Almost everything in Doom 3 is controlled through, esentially, text files. Nothing game-specific is hard-coded. The only things that aren't text are the textures, engine, and engine-script interface (gamex86.dll). I haven't checked out HL2 yet, but it certainly isn't that flexible.

  14. Re:support costs on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 1

    397? That sounds kinda low for the average IE user on a DSL line.

  15. but to circumvent this... on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: -1, Troll

    use a keygen for installation and use corp. it's unlikely you'll use the same key as somebody else.

  16. Re:Mirror on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't think there were any third-party (or even MS) apps for Windows 1.x. 2.x got PageMaker.

  17. Distribtuion method on Comparing Linux To System VR4 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, Linux can be downloaded in a friendly ISO format, but my SVR4 2.1 disks are in some wierd-ass format I can't use with anything except this one german program.

  18. Wow... on Gnome 2.10 Sneak Peek · · Score: 1

    This looks really nice. Makes a wonderful impression on someone who last used GNOME at 2.0. Loads better than KDE, especially with Keramik for the default scheme.


    Damn.

  19. Re:./ed !!!! Server Reboot Time? on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    It looks like you're running on Linux...what filesystem are you using? Reiser(4(?)) would be a big help here.

  20. Re:Video Card with Longhorn. on Avalon Preview Released for XP · · Score: 3, Funny

    Alright, let's see what my GeForce 2 MX can do...

  21. Is it just me or... on January's Toast to Tech Evil · · Score: 1

    when you read the title, did you think something about toastytech and his IE is evil page?

  22. Time to revise these stories on New $149 NetBSD Single Board Computer Port · · Score: 1

    It's getting to the point where we shouldn't hear about the architectures NetBSD supports, but rather, the ones it doesn't. ;)

  23. Re:What - no support for WinME ?!?? on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    *sigh*

    When my other PC's C: partition fucked up (long story involving crap MS software), I happened to mention it to one of my friends. She told me to go buy a new computer (like she knew how to fix it).

  24. My turn to rant. on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I used to be a big fan of TechTV, up until May 7. That was effectively the end of TechTV to me. G4 basically took over the channel and replaced everybody with young, slightly more good-looking hosts.

    Message to G4 types: young, good-looking hosts don't make a show. People that know what they're talking about do.

    So now, G4TechTV sucks. It can't even be considered TechTV anymore- they completely revamped TSS into one of the most disgusting shows I have ever seen. The only good host is Keven Rose - is he still even with them? I haven't watched it since about September. And X-Play. It's the only show I *will* watch on there. At least Adam and Morgan got to stay. I dunno how they didn't get their personalities butchered.

  25. Re:Not surprised. on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 1

    Maybe because you're AC.
