  1. Mirror here: on Linux 2.6.36 Released · · Score: 3, Informative
  2. Huh... on iPad Getting a Subscription Infrastructure? · · Score: 1

    So, does this mean that you'll have to replace an iPad every month or so?

  3. Re:if they do that on Intel Threatens To Revoke AMD's x86 License · · Score: 1

    What's with you people and your MIPSspellings?

  4. Re:Slashvertisement? on MythTV Allows Multiple Front-Ends On Wide Range of Platforms · · Score: 1

    Linux.com and Slashdot.org share a corporate overlord.

  5. Another mirror here: on Ubuntu 8.04 Released · · Score: 1

    http://lug.mtu.edu/ubuntu-releases/8.04/ We're doing fine so far, would like to see some more load though!

  6. Re:For a tenth of a femtosecond... on The Texas Petawatt Laser · · Score: 1

    But seriously,I have been electrocuted by 20,000V at significant current several times. But only for a few hundred nanoseconds at a time. Sparks plugs rock. Death caused by an electric shock is referred to as electrocution. Maybe you want to look up your vocabulary a bit more before you keep repeating this. because you were seriously not electrocuted.

    Where can you get 10G Ethernet cards for $50? I'd really like to know and I'm sure there would be a lot of interested people...

  8. Re:Just wondering. with VMWare.... on DMCA Means You Can't Delete Files On Your PC? · · Score: 1

    VMWare would be perfect for this.
    Except in this case the coupon printer that is needed detects if the environment is Virtualized. It at least doesn't work in VMware, but I haven't tried any other ways. There's probably always a way to crack the thing to skip the check, but it's not worth my time to save a few dollars.

  9. Superparamagnetic Effect. on Magnetic Wobbles Cause Hard Drive Failure · · Score: 1

    Use the scientific term for it. Haven't flash animations from Hitachi taught you anything?

  10. Wait... what? on Judge Deals Blow to RIAA · · Score: 5, Funny

    So did the Judge get busted for selling cocaine to the RIAA, or did the RIAA get busted for buying it?

  11. Re:Whew! on IPv4 Unallocated Addresses Exhausted by 2010 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man, am I glad I've got 192.168.0.100

    That's the same IP address I've got on my luggage!

    Polished games and excellent Mac support makes for many happy Mac gamers.

    All 3 of them?
  13. Re:Music!=NewsForNerds on Spinal Tap to Reunite for Live Earth · · Score: 1

    You seem to forget that this is basically CmdrTaco's site. He can do what he wants, and if you don't like it, you're not being forced to visit, so don't.

  14. Re:In what universe? on Tech Sector Expansion Blunting U.S. Job Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Ever since BillGates.exe (sound that out)
    Bill Gates sexy?
    ... Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  15. Re:At what point? on Microsoft Responds to EU With Another Question · · Score: 1

    Is it really necessary that every Slashdot summary ends with a very polarizing question?
    Oh come on. This is slashdot! You're lucky if most of the people here read the entire headline before posting, let alone expecting them to make it through the entire summary!

    I bet Jack Thompson was behind this...

    Sure she would, you're just not offering her the right information.

    What she really wants to know is how much money you make, how much you have saved in the bank, and how willingly you would be to give it all to her.

  18. Re:I have no idea what NIGHTS is... on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 1

    And finally, females will be able to experience what it's like to write their name in snow with their Wii!

  19. Re:Hmm... on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't people play games to experience a different world? DO we really want the same weather outside reflected in game?
    But it says it's using weather from the Forecast channel, which pretty much guarantees that the in game weather will never be like outside.
  20. Re:How about . . . on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista · · Score: 1

    At the very least I would like a few +5 funny comments.
    This one on the Vista homepage explains why WGA has so many false positives:

    It's a fact: Counterfeit software can expose you to spyware and viruses.

    I'd had to lose my mind as often as the average PC loses it's.
    I'd say you already do.

    feel-no-pain specimen....

    Well, I hope that they do leave the pain part out. Otherwise there will be a bunch of robots running around screaming:
    'Why was I programmed to feel pain!'
  23. Re:The most interesting blurb from the article on PowerPoint Bad For Learning · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A good way to present the information is just to put a broad idea of what you're going to talk about on the slides. I don't mind if profs use note cards as long as the notes are making good use of the class time, and you know the material well enough to field questions students might have. DEFINITELY do not just read your slides or cards. This is really boring and makes me feel like being there is a complete waste of time. Make it at least seem like you're trying to interact with a classroom instead of a tape recorder.

    I think it's a good idea to hand out both items well before class so the more ambituous students have a chance to go over the material that is going to be taught to them. I wish I would have realised when I started college how important it was to know what you would be learning about that day. I could have already formulated questions to ask the prof that perhaps otherwise wouldn't have been thought until after class and I had begun the homework.

    If I still don't understand after I asked the question, do not re-iterate the same exact information unless that really is the only thing to it. Try to make an attempt to rephrase the answer, or perhaps ask me to explain what I need to know a little better. (This is more of an observation of necessity rather than a personal need)
