  1. Umm... portscan? on Microsoft Monopoly, The Board Game · · Score: 1

    Would anyone happen to know why i was portscanned from the IP of www.ms-monopoly.com a few minutes after looking at the site? did anyone else experience this? I think I'll email the admin...

  2. So it seems the CPU rumors were true. on Transmeta Details Continue to Unravel · · Score: 2

    It's nice to know all of our sleuthy deductions were right on the money. Transmeta is working on a new CPU.

    And check out their hidden message. This time it exists- and it points out that on January 19th, 2000 we will see what their Crusoe processor can do. It will be on the webpage.
    Cool stuff :)

    But i wonder... what's Linus' involvement in all of this?

  3. Re:RedHat is MS style move? on It's Official: Red Hat Buys Cygnus · · Score: 1

    i don't see the point of you nay-sayers.

    after the microsoft case is over, everyone will be wary of monopolistic/evil companies in the computer industry. and besides, redhat peddles linux. what's good for redhat, is good for linux.

  4. Re:abstract notions on The Starchild Project Claims to Have Alien Skull · · Score: 1

    While the article discussed genetic disorders as a cause of deformation, it did not explore other avenues of deformation: False Hellebore
    (Veratrum viride), when eaten by pregnant sheep causes the baby to be born with only one eye socket with both eyes in it! I was unable
    to find documentation on the web, but I read this (and saw a picture) doing research for a project of mine (don't ask:).

    here's a picture:

  5. Re:So hard to believe? on The Starchild Project Claims to Have Alien Skull · · Score: 1

    one possibility that daveo has thought of to explain the amazing similarity between humans and the traditional alien figure, is the possibility
    that these are humans in the future, perhaps on another planet, that have performed time travel. maybe they have used genetic engineering?
    the trend seems right, less hair, more uniform colored skin, larger head, more intelligence, less digits. who knows?

    i agree 100%. if backwards time travel is at all possible, we would be seeing people from the future today. Maybe these are the aliens that everyone talks about?

  6. Hrm.... blank page response? on Corel Wordperfect Office 2000 for Linux Beta Test · · Score: 1

    After filling out my beta test form and clicking 'submit', the document contained no data. re-submitting just told me i can't send it twice.

    hrm.

  7. Communism... on Linux to be Official OS of People's Republic of China · · Score: 1

    I get the feeling this may change how US government officials look at the linux community.

    Some individuals have likened open source development to Communism.

  8. CMU has a history of this. on CMU Cuts off Net Access for 71 Students Over MP3s · · Score: 2

    Thought i'd mention that CMU has been doing this from time to time.
    I know several people who go there/have gone there, and have heard about their unofficial yearly student file check for illegal material. last year, there were quite a few software piracy busts. of course, this begs the question: "Is this a privacy violation?"

  9. Remember what Larry Ewing says... on Tux Has a Nameless Green Martian Relative · · Score: 1

    It's really not "Tux", it's just "The Linux Penguin".
