  1. Robinson's Mars Trilogy on 10 Best S/F Films That Never Existed · · Score: 1

    He forgot Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. James Cameron was rumored to be making a film of it. Then nothing.
    The hundreds of dropships launched from the Ares orbiting around Mars, the Martian landscapes, Underhill, the tent towns, the Martian Revolutions, the journey back to Earth, the colonization of Callisto, Mercury, Titania, and Venus and further with the Accelerando..
    Wouldn't that be a fucking great film ? Come on! Weren't we talking about going back on Moon and further ?

  2. closed source.. on More iTunes Math · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Interesting to see that what would just involve reading a few lines of code on open source software takes a whole complicated statistical analysis on closed source software...

  3. Re:So sue me on Red Cross Condemns Misuse of Emblem In Games · · Score: 1

    Your COLOR tag didn't pass through the slashcode filter but we're slashdotters right ? We automagically interpret HTML tagging in the wild with our brains.

  4. For Non-US users : workaround on Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary · · Score: 5, Informative

    Someone suggested to use the coral cache : Link here. As the coral cache is multi-homed, you can be dns-round-robin-ed to a non-US mirror and thus be showed the Non-US notice. Just flush your DNS cache with : "ipconfig /flushdns"; for linux, restart your dns daemon. Try again a few times and it should work.

  5. Re:Coral Cache: on Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work for me :(
    Any clue ?

  6. I'd want an IM Speak translator on Yahoo IM Translator · · Score: 1

    I'd want a translator to understand IM slang/gibberish.
    Am I the only one to sadisticaly force my friends to talk normal english by force feeding them with correct english ? They usually give up the chat-speak after a while.

  7. Re:"405" on India's Road To The Future · · Score: 1

    Thanks, anonymous saviour.

  8. OT:Re:Remember what Hihgways are on India's Road To The Future · · Score: 1

    A little offtopic, but does anyone remember that homemade film released in the early days of DivX ;) where there was some guy driving on a highway with no trafic only to be landed on by a plane ? The highway was cleared out because the Boeing had to make an emergency landing... The name of the film was something like "highway 411" or something like this. I can't finding back even with the omniscient google :(

  9. RFC fun on Vast Subsurface Martian Ice Discovered · · Score: 1

    In fact, there's a RFC out there covering the IP adressing issues. Have fun.

  10. Collective ass on Pictures by Hive Mind · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Site overloaded. Either this has been linked from somewhere with heavy traffic, or you're experimenting with a clever script to try and mess with the pictures. Come back later, or stop it."
    Maybe we should stop trampling his server till it melts down, move our asses out of this mess and wait for it to return to a solid state ? Ho wait. Maybe I should submit a request to our server melting overlord.

  11. mod_rewrite crazyness on Myth TV + Multiple Video Arcade = Anime for All · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Did you notice the mod_rewrite crazyness ?
    Weren't URL meant to be somewhat hierarchical ?
    Not trolling but I think that sometimes Google SEO goes a little too far when the URL is meant to be only usefull to Google and not to the normal human user...

  12. Wrong link on Xbox 360 Hardware Disassembled and Analyzed · · Score: 3, Informative

    Correct link : here

  13. Great ideas don't always make for great businesses on New Technology Could Kill WiMax? · · Score: 1

    This tech may be better but given all the installed pre-wimax stuff and strong industry support I doubt that anybody will just scrap WiMax and restart all over... Betamax/VHS anyone ?

  14. Because it's worth zilch without... on Overclocked Radeon Card Breaks 1 GHz · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...the pictures of the rig : here they are, 3DMark05 included.

  15. Count patterns longer than one song on Crunching the Math On iTunes · · Score: 1

    He should have measured the probabilities of 3 songs patterns for example. This way he would have detected wether iTunes implements something to prevent playing the same song twice in a row. That would be much more interesting I think. (of course to know this he needs to know a little more than just the play count)

  16. Real story on Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    OK, further investigations revealed that the whole issue was seriously inflated. It was just about chinese user's (pirated) Windows XP computers being infected by worms and turned into zombies sending gazillions of blaster/sasser/zotob/whatever to .mil computers. OK nothing to worry about.
    Next story : old korean grand-mothers hacking Pentagon's SMTP servers.

  17. Parse error on Simple-to-use ZigBee Hardware · · Score: -1, Troll

    Compilation aborted. Missing closing parenthesis. Please recheck syntax and resubmit.

  18. Vogon bait on Computer Analyst Wins Best Worst Writing Contest · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure that this is a conspiracy to get the Vogons to destroy Earth by challeging them on writing skills.

  19. mounted? on USA National Memory Championships · · Score: 4, Funny

    ..but can they be mounted as a mass storage volume on Linux ?

  20. Re:Forget the trailer on Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman! · · Score: 1

    I double-checked but your link points to the exact same ./ed video as the summary.

  21. Re:Torrent on Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman! · · Score: 1

    This .torrent is not correctly made. The tracker URL points to the direct download link you posted earlier (which is dead by now)
    Read this

  22. Re:Torrent on Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman! · · Score: 1

    You better prepare an extinguisher. NOW!

  23. Re:Intel StrongARM on Arm Wrestling Robots Beaten By A Teenage Girl · · Score: 2, Informative

    In fact, StrongARM is dead, now it's PXA/XScale.

  24. Re:What about more effective ways on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You might be thinking about this mentionned on /. here and this mentionned again on /. http://slashdot.org/articles/00/09/17/1427248.shtm l.
    They were using Fluorinert, made by 3M at 500$/gallon. That's not cheap..

  25. So what, that's just a fridge on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested · · Score: 2, Informative

    Looked up on Wikipedia . If I read the article right, most refrigerators use this awesome phase change cooling technology. Lame publicity stunt..
