  1. Area 51 pwn3d on Slashback: Lapses, Maps, Ludwig Van · · Score: 1

    Slashdotters may find the craters interesting? What about the fact that all of Area 51 has been hacked by "(C) 2005 Google"?!

  2. Re:Linus is so modest and reasonable... on Linus On The Future Of Microsoft · · Score: 1

    How does he remain a hero of fanboys and flamebaiters?

    Even arrogant people like being given things they find useful.
    Wasn't your post more flamebait than insight?

  3. Microsoft Office Formats Not Really Being Opened on Linux: Fighting the FUD of Forking · · Score: 1

    Is it me, or wasn't the Microsoft Office 'open' XML document format FUDged rather a lot?

  4. Re:solid-state? on Steve Ballmer's $100 PC, Sans Windows · · Score: 1

    and that's even before you factor in some 'harsh environment' details, like 'ooops, it got dropped' etc

    I agree. Couple weeks ago I left my USB flash drive in my jeans. You guessed it. 40 degree max spin cycle machine washed flash! Couldn't believe it when I mounted it and it all verified ok. Try that with a hard disk, I dare you.

  5. low-latency multimedia kernel - Planet CCRMA on RT Linux Patches · · Score: 1

    It'd be great to see realtime capabilities in the vanilla kernel - though in the meantime for a low latency Linux multimedia system I recommend the Planet CCRMA low latency kernel based on Fedora/Red Hat - this has a huge repository of compatible software, much of which is of very high quality. See Ardour (Digital Audio Workstation) for instance. Planet CCRMA uses the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) drivers (which have OSS emulation).

  6. Hurricane Ivan/Global Warming on Submit and Moderate Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 1

    Dear Potential President,
    Given that 100 top scientists including 20 Nobel prize winners attribute more frequent natural disasters such as Hurricane Ivan to deforestation and overuse of fossil fuels, what will you do to try to turnaround the worsening phenomenon of Global Warming?
