  1. Clearly a job for A.L.V.I.N. on Lost Nuclear Bomb Found Off Georgia Coast? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Set the unmanned sub after it, and remove the uranium core. Using the cutting torch may prove to stimulate high ratings on the webcam/Discovery channel taping of the event!

    I'd watch!

  2. Re:George Lucas is teh suck on George Lucas Speaks on Trilogy Changes · · Score: 1

    Off-topic my arse, that was an inspired bit of social commentary that succinctly captured the general tone of the slashdot audience's reaction to GL's insidiously selfish and cold-hearted decision to only promote edits of mediocre work rather than just accepting what is, rather than attempting to rewrite history for his own ends. And I cited a previous attempt at the same thing.
    Also, I can't help using run-on sentences, so I factor!

  3. George Lucas is teh suck on George Lucas Speaks on Trilogy Changes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    'nuff said.

    (THX 11-whatever anyone?)

    Thanks for the partisanship! Great!

    Now, what was *informative* in your post? You are a left-leaning partisan that confuses emotion with logic?

    P.S. "Every single one of their statements have been proven untrue." is intentionally being dishonest. The facts publically available could show you the difference between black, white, and gray, if you are capable of discerning.

    pull your head out of the sand, and look around?

    Hell, even your carping was predictable!

  6. Re:still 10x slower than BeOS on International OSS Desktop Conference aKademy 2004 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Thinking back, I was asking that rhetorically. However, I am really glad that someone else that used/uses this wonderfully designed and very well thought through OS decided to recite some specifics that made it so.
    That's why we come back to Slashdot!

    I'd also like to point out, that in the interest of fostering development, once I signed up with the company, without cost to me they sent pressed OS releases very often, updated MetroWorks compiler and toolkit releases, and even some clothing!

    Would Be, Inc. be influencing linux to become more modular, multi-threaded, and bulletproof (like QNX) if they were still around, given many popular linux apps would be running on it today?

  7. still 10x slower than BeOS on International OSS Desktop Conference aKademy 2004 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Forget flamewars... How about some efficiency standards?!?

    Why is it that this candy-coated windowmanager runs like a *DOG* when it's just moving windows and drawing text on a 512mb 550MHz PIII system, and BeOS 4.0 (pre)release could run multiple video streams effortlessly without lag (may as well mention almost instant boot) on a 166Mhz PPC 604 with 128 MB RAM? 5 years ago.

    Maybe getting paid for your work and quality go hand in hand in some products?

  8. California != Efficient on California Should use Open Source and VoIP · · Score: 1

    I think it would be a great test for the US economy to get people on west coast time (and work ethic) using software that doesn't meet point and click simplicity.

    A beautiful exercise in controlled chaos!

  9. Re:What A Joke! on Inside Al-Qaeda's Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a long time slashdot reader I registered just to respond to this utter crap. The parent get a plus one for... what? Inane rhetoric?

    "transhuman", Would you like to cite references for your baseless (in our collective reality) conspiracy, or just skip right to psychiatric help perhaps?

    If you believe that many hundreds, even thousands of "inside" people could keep a "plot" like yours together for any extended period of time, you do not understand human nature.

    But of course, citing you: "This is amateur night at its worst. It makes my bank robberies look high-tech." You know all about keeping big secrets... toad

    Get on some meds, or call in to Coast-To-Coast AM for some real psuedo-intellectual laughs!
