  1. Many options on Glade 2 Tutorial · · Score: 2, Funny

    One of the best features is the plethora of plug ins available here

  2. Please to tell me on Apple Sells Two Million Songs in 16 Days · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They need to have a system to tell users when songs are added. Several songs I want (Led Zep, latest Allman Bros etc) were not on the store when I checked. I would get them when they are available but I will not check every time I hear they added songs.

  3. please to read on Google To Create "Blog" Search; Potentially Remove From Main · · Score: 1
    From the article: It isn't clear if weblogs will be removed from the main search results.

    From the /. blurb: "has announced that it will begin a seperate index for blogs and remove them from the normal index"

    Please to read first paragraph of article before posting.

  4. Here are a few things on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: -1, Redundant


    * A utility for reading and repairing hard disks
    * 'regmon' and 'filemon' from Sysinternals
    * A diskette for booting MSDOS with CD support
    * Remote controlling tools, such as VNC
    * CDs with OS (hundreds of those)

  5. one easy one on Ethical Dilemmas Related to Technology · · Score: 1
    who will be teaching a college class on the topic of ethical dilemmas brought about by new technology. Unfortunately, he doesn't keep up with technology news, so he's not sure what the most relevant dilemmas are.

    It is highly unethical for a teacher to take money and provide students with subpar teaching. Either the teacher is wrong for not speaking up as to his ignorance or the school is wrong for knowingly selecting the wrong teacher. I would be pissed if I took a course from someone who had to get his knowledge from /.

  6. bears repeating on GDDR2 Emerging As A Real Standard · · Score: 1

    It's hard to find any technical description since its pretty new and there is no JDEC-standard yet.
    But the key that makes it worth the extra bucks is the fact that DDR-II delivers twice the external bandwidth of a standard DDR solution for the same internal frequency. The 1.8-volt device features a high-speed data transfer rate of 533Mbps that can be extended to 667Mbps for networks and special system environments.
    The last year chip-makers have released diffrent DDR chips with increasing frequency like DDR 266, DDR333 and DDR400. But its limited how much higher its possible to go so instead they are trying to add another sort of "bus" inside the chip.
    The reason they started producing DDR (vs. SDR) is because it's much easier to implement such a double data rate (DDR) bus than it is to actually double the clock rate of a bus. So DDR allows you to instantly double a bus's peak bandwidth without all the hassle and expense of a higher frequency bus.
    DDR-II is made thinking in the same way.

  7. sigh on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i am sick of all the idiots who disagree with me. They are all wrong and I feel that I am right. They should shut up because I cant believe how wrong they are. Dont they know?

  8. Here's what someone else sed on Linux Audio Developers Conference · · Score: 1

    I know for a few migrations I've been asked about, the show stopper has been lack of tools like those provided by Sonic Foundary and other music maker tools. Vegas and Fruity Loops are the two that have lost me converts in the past and neither work in WINE. I'm not a music man so I didn't have anything to counterpoint with but this is one area where Linux apps (not the OS) need to play catch up since Win and Mac apparently have many good music composition apps available for them.

  9. How long on Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors · · Score: 1
    I guess that means that we can soon expect the new digital lifestyle device... iLockbox!

    Now that's strategery

  10. Since when? on Linux Audio Developers Conference · · Score: -1, Troll

    I didn't know you could have sound on a Linux box! I wonder if that means I can print too?

  11. Re:Bible Truths and the Rhode Island Fire on PCMCIA Announces NEWCARD Format · · Score: 1

    What, no website?
    Too much trouble to dial all those numbers.
    I need to know what kind of internet connection there willbe in hell before i make my final decision.

  12. Please think about it on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1
    I am curious if people believe _any_ movie has acurately portrayed software developers?

    I am curious to know if you are naive enough to think most movies portray _any_ type of person accurately. Geologist, teacher, bus driver, clone, astroman. The poor "no one gets me" programmer is not the only one. Relax.

  13. I no know on Murchison Meteorite Still Contentious · · Score: 1

    The bees are on the what now?

  14. The important one on Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep · · Score: 1

    Have you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?

  15. Re:You misread. on Google Responds to SearchKing's Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    No he didnt. He misread.

    I know, I wanted to bop the fool myself.
    I really really really hate when people do that.

  16. Re:Editorial void = Users annoyed on A Christmas Easter Egg in iPhoto? · · Score: 1
    :I'm the 'dumb bastard'

    yup. Looks like it.

  17. Re:speculation on Unintended Aural Consequences of MP3 Compression · · Score: 1

    Agreed. The first red flag I saw that this article was not to be taken too seriously was the fact that the first word is "Nowadays". 'Tis a fine word, just hard to swallow as a scientific parameter.

  18. yeah! on Slashback: TIPS, FatWallet, MPlayer · · Score: 1
    Let this be a lesson to those who would use the DMCA to unjustly intimidate websites into removing content.

    Yeah! They will never forget the lesson that.. uh... well the consequences to wal-mart were... uh.... Well the next person will know that if they try to do this they will have to... NOTHING!

  19. Re:Also available at apple.com on Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online · · Score: 1

    Me no know how.
    Pls to tell packages to apt-get.
    Me want watch quicktime.
    Debian is what me have and testing yes.

  20. So? on Organizing Sim Protests · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am outraged that they have found a way to keep themselves profitable without charging more. If we don't all get in our comfortable shoes and make protest signs out of recycled cardboard,then the next thing you know we will start seeing animated banners and huge blocky ads on slashdot!

  21. Re:Not censored! on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 1

    Thank you for engaging your brain.

  22. Pretty goofy question on Open Source More Expensive In the Long Run? · · Score: 1

    The guy sez "is anyone in the business of providing commercial support and training for the entire universe of Open Source, perhaps contracting on a product-by-product basis? I guess a corollary to that question is, if not then why not?

    Uh.. because (for starters) "the entire universe of Open Source" is just a wee bit too large for one person/group to be able to support. Sourceforge for one, has over 50,000 projects. Also some things that are "open source" may actually not be supportable due to crapulance. (e.g. I'll open source the following code for you:
    10: do what ever I say 20: go to 10
    ) So, if you are actually suggesting that "There might be a viable business model here!" Then I hereby throw away anything you say about business, including your TCO analysis

  23. That's unpossible! on Apple Gives Laptops Speed Bumps · · Score: 2, Funny

    This must be false because MacOsRumors (MOSR.com) sed:
    "In the mean time, one thing we can tell you is that if the announcements do indeed come next week, they will not include Superdrives. ... something which will not come to pass until roughly the first of next year."

    Therefor please retract the story until the rumor sites have time to predict it.

  24. searchking should sue searchking on Google Sued over Page Ranking · · Score: 2, Funny

    A search for "search king" (w/o the quotes) does not show searchking in the first page. I know, I know, there is a space in between search and king in my search but I still think they should sue.

  25. Re:I guess i'm not cool on Build Your Own Carnival Ride · · Score: 1
