    It's "you're" and "square". Thanks for playing.

  2. Re:Fuck you, you fucking fuck bag on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 2, Funny

    C'mon Dad, how many times do I need to ask you to stay off the internet when you're drunk?

    1997 called. They want their complaint back.

    Or when you accidentally select open in tabs with a rss feed containing 100+ links (del.icio.us' popular feed). Oh no wait, that wasn't beauty, that was pain. On the plus side, at least my PC didn't crash. I'm sure IE would've.

    In Soviet Russia, same old shit is tired of you repeated over and over again.

    No, no... it's one finger gouging his eyes out over people who are much smarter and doing more interesting computer work than he ever could and the other five fingers furiously masturbating over that latest goatse.cx type photo.

  10. Re:PC burners on Reports of VHS's Death Highly Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    A DVD burner is not a DVD video recorder.

  11. Re:Odd thing to nitpick, but... "jejune"?!?! on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Come now... "callow" and "jejune" are both perfectly cromulent words.

  12. Re:Outlook 2003 on Where is the Killer Calendar? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    As an Exchange sysadmin, if my users are to dumb to not be able to manage their own Out of Office status/reply and need me to do it, then they don't deserve to have the luxury of e-mail.

  13. Re:the code of conduct for free software distribut on Drafting GPL3 · · Score: 1

    Considering RMS' well known thoughts on "Free Software" vs. "Open Source" software, I'd say "*The* code of conduct" fits in perfectly with his line of thought. It may well only be *a* code of conduct to folks who prefer the term "Open Source" and the philosophy that goes along with it, but as far as RMS is concerned there is only one licence which is "Free".

  14. Re:Not suprising. on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 1

    I'd say Sony would get a fair chunk of profit too, seeing that they developed Cell in partnership with IBM and Toshiba.

    Pwned! And by a dancing primate, no less. You have made my Friday. :-)

    I find your lack of faith... disturbing.

    Is it possible to stick more useless crap on a single page together with a totally nonsensical layout?

    Yes.

  18. Re:Windows Terminal Server on Distributing Windows Programs to Linux Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Also has the advatanges of making updates to the LOB app really easy - one machine and off you go

    Not quite... you wouldn't want 200 users using a single server. We have 2 servers running Citrix supporting about 70 (non-concurrent) users. 20 users per server is ideal in our case, 25 is OK, 30 causes noticable slowdown for everyone. For 200 users I'd say you'd want 8-10 servers at least.

  19. Re:now all we need is automated.... on Linux Kernel Gets Fully Automated Test · · Score: 1

    *bzzzzt*

    A compiler _translates_ human-readable code into something the machine can understand, it does not generate code.

    Thanks for playing Slashdot, please try again soon.

    Last time I checked, IBM developed SMB. Microsoft just happen to be the only ones who used it much.

    I don't see HP offering official support for Debian, do you?

  24. Re:Ahh.. jumping puzzles... on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1
    The fact is that good graphics attract gamers more than good AI
    I wouldn't generalise like that. I'm a big fan of the Gran Turismo series. GT3 had pretty decent graphics, and GT4's graphics are marginally better. The AI in GT3 was bad enough but it seems that GT4's AI is even worse. I for one would gladly accept slightly less realistic graphics (or even less cars; who needs 100 Skylines, really?) in exchange for improved AI. It would make the game so much more fun, and for me that's what games are about.

  25. Success of the Walmart PC on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 1

    The success of the Walmart PC is irrelevant. I'd guess the vast majority of those merely end up with a pirated MS OS anyway.

    Wow these captchas are getting bad. I can barely read this one. :-o
