  1. Re:Wow! on Is Computer Science Dead? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and the place for that is school, not production code, unless the library linked list is a bottleneck.

  2. Re:Wow! on Is Computer Science Dead? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Real programmers and real computer scientists are not always the same thing, and I fail to see why coding up your own linked list is real programming. It's not. It's busy work.

  3. Re:Nostalgic name, but that's it. on Commodore Returns with New Gaming PCs · · Score: 1

    Well, the Macintosh and PlayStation are both backward compatible with their predecessors. The SNES is a better example; to play NES games it needed a third party emulator which was more expensive than a NES.

    The man may be dead but sgi failed to take down Cray with it. They still make clusters.

  5. Re:OS X Intel? on Visual Basic on GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    gcc and g77 probably do exactly with that before they start generating object code.

    there are 15 .NET languages? oi!

  7. Re:Registration is only for pre-release. on Is Wikipedia Failing? · · Score: 1

    CmdrTaco had nothing to do with coding E2. Hemos paid the bills for a while but that's it.

    The E2 server was fine last week after they moved to a bunch of new boxes but they're back to ass slow again. *sigh*

  8. Re:Registration is only for pre-release. on Is Wikipedia Failing? · · Score: 1

    I've seen this happen before with former Slashdot darling Everything2 and its private splinter site Community2. Disillusioned members of E2 went to C2, which became a private E2-bashfest while E2 itself slowly slid into irrelevance.

  9. Re:still down on Yahoo Pipes · · Score: 1

    I believe Google Analytics did just that.

  10. windows only on Netflix Now Offers Instant Online Movie Streaming · · Score: 2, Informative

    I read an article in the paper this morning claiming that this will be available for windows only. How disappointing.

  11. Re:That's why I don't buy from Apple. on Apple is DRM's Biggest Backer · · Score: 1

    I'm not talking about you per se, but about the large percentage of the market that has "iPod = portable music device" permanently engraved in there heads. The ones that think that the product lines that came first are actually knockoffs.

  12. Re:That's why I don't buy from Apple. on Apple is DRM's Biggest Backer · · Score: 1

    When a new, better iPod comes out, it will be able to play the same files. You can authorize an unlimited number of iPods. It would be a bigger deal if someone could touch Apple.

    Now, what happens to all your DVDs when something new and better and incompatible comes out?

  13. Re:the first half dozen were fun... on IOCCC 2006 is now open · · Score: 1

    yeah, cause modern ISAs aren't designed to be easy to compile C for or nothin'.

  14. Re:the first half dozen were fun... on IOCCC 2006 is now open · · Score: 1

    There are still things that need a genericized assembly language, so there is still a need for C!

  15. Re:Social engineering on A Brief History of 'sex.com' · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I don't roll with crappy jokes to fit in (especially when a tiny bit more effort would make it not suck). I grew out of that in 3rd grade.

    P.S. Grow a dick and log in.

  16. Re:Good premise, terrible writing, bleh credential on A Brief History of 'sex.com' · · Score: 1

    That probably refers to her membership in Survival Research Labs, integrating animal corpses with gears and stuff.

    For crying out loud mods! It's called a "pick-up line". Beer is not social engineering.

  18. Re:Considering the way. . . on First Cellphone Use On Airplane Given OK · · Score: 1

    Verizon Wireless customers don't get gouged too much. Calls only cost 69c a minute and you can still receive calls to your wireless number via the seatphone

  19. Re:Doesn't work. on 15 Things Apple Should Change in Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    It works in the Finder. Finder windows always leave space so you can see your mounted volume icons on the side of the screen after you option-zoom.

    In iTunes I imagine the intent in not making things full screen is to leave room for the Dock.

    I just tried zooming and option-zooming in Mail, and both filled the sreen with the window.

    No explanation for Safari's behavior though.

  20. Re:Window Management. Maximize? on 15 Things Apple Should Change in Mac OS X · · Score: 4, Informative

    Hold option while you click the zoom button, and the window goes up to full screen.

    how many slashbots are there that can actually gaze at their navel without having to grab their belly at with both hands and yank?

  23. Re:Waste of money on Army's Cut of 'Future Soldier' May Impact Med-Tech · · Score: 1

    How would an extremist go about recruiting people to his cause when the country was the source of their food, water and etc. (not meaning to sound condescending).

    I don't know but they could check and see what worked in the United States.

  24. Re:Why is always a cross country trip? on RV Processes Own Fuel on Cross-Country Trip · · Score: 1

    Daily commutes don't make interesting news. My father-in-law has converted three vehicles to use waste veggie oil and still gets to fuel for free. This is not put forward as an end-all solution for our oil dependency. It's mostly a clever hack. Surely you can understand that as a Slashdot reader.

  25. Re:IF on RV Processes Own Fuel on Cross-Country Trip · · Score: 1

    That's true, but often restaurants that don't have disposal contracts will allow WVO users to siphon off their grease from the barrels out back for free. And if you only end up using oil you buy yourself, you can at least use it to cook with first.
