  1. Re:Naughty Commands? on Linux Annoyances For Geeks · · Score: 1

    That "cd god" is awsome :) I'll have to send that to my father - he laughed about the "...food in can" one for close to an hour! I take offense to the Solaris blasphemy though! ;)

  2. Re:Naughty Commands? on Linux Annoyances For Geeks · · Score: 1

    You forgot my two favorite unix commands: "man mount" and > cat "food in can" Cat can't open food in can! > | / \ | (Tried this under RH9 and it didn't work damn it!! I know it's good under Solaris...)

  3. Target Practice on 'Destroyed' Hard Drive Found At Flea Market · · Score: 1

    My old HDs always end up at the shooting range for target practice. There is nothing quite like the feeling of filling an old 2 gig seagate full of lead ;) Very satisfying!

    I've got a couple on my desk at work with holes strait through. No one will EVER recover my data - or rifle through my stuff ;)

  4. Re:Next Up On Slashdot on Developers React To 'Wii' · · Score: 1

    You know, at first I thought the name was stupid but now I'm not so sure. Seeing you use it like that somehow it makes more sense!

  5. Re:SIGH: Another reason not to go to the cinema on Irish Cinema Set to Go Digital First · · Score: 1

    I work with video all day long. Hopefully they won't have to compress the video at all - even if they do it should be with WMV or MPEG-4 and the artifacts aren't nearly as bad.... Even with artifacts I think it's a worthy trade for a full 30 frames/second. When my job first taught me how to spot artifacts and digital video B/S, TV/Movies at home started to look terriable. I decided to go see a movie and I was excited because it was going to be 100% artifact free. What I had forgot was that Film is only 25 frames a second !! All I could see for the first 15 mins was this terrible flicker :( Same deal with PAL TV (50Hz). I hear that some people notice the flicker worse than others, but it honestly drives me insane. Bottom line: I'd much rather have a full 60Hz with light compression artifacts than film at 50Hz.
