  1. Conservitive on Canada Unveils Internet Surveillance Legislation · · Score: 1

    Well hey. If it is going to save money, by all means, piss all over me.

  2. Comic Tragedy on Bad Day To Be Sony · · Score: 1

    I'm throwing on the heavy duty flame proof stuff for this so...

    I wonder how many /.'rz here have wanted to (more likely have) rooted a windows box and loved it. I wonder how many /.'rz here thought, "how nice it is that Sony has been active in porting Linux to the PS2 and PS3". I wonder how many /.'rz here would have fallen down and ROFL upon hearing that all of those windows boxes were rooted by some business software that "those stupid windows users" purchased. IF! And a big IF! this had nothing to do with DRM, 1 in 10 here would be bitching and the rest would have been all giggles.

    If the real reason /.'rz are angry is because of the hypocrisy http://www.hypocrisy.com/start.php?homepage=true then someone needs to toughen up. Raise your hand if you haven't figured out how to rip a "protected" CD. No don't. Your probably busy wanking with it. We piss on the DRM, RIAA, and fellow greedfkrz. They are blind, confused, and desperate for a win against something that doesn't even exist.

    I don't care what anybody says. This whole thing is comedy. It's full of buttmunchers banging each other trying to kill pink elephants with scooby snacks. Every time I turn around another one of them has a finger in the other's eye thinking they found something to cling on.

  3. Nice on Linux Tablet to be Released in Two Days · · Score: 1

    I've been wanting something like this so I can use the X Windows System like it was designed. http://www.nomachine.com/documentation/html/intr-t echnology.html
    If it is capable of being docked, or accept a keyboard+monitor being attached, then it is perfect for me.
    From what I've read about it http://www.internettablettalk.com/content/view/98/ 37/ it seems to be just as customizable as any GNU/Linux/X system.

  4. On that note on Loyalists Preserve Past Through Text-Only Games · · Score: 1
    Console games are demanding,' says Mike Snyder, a 33-year-old computer programmer in Wichita, Kan. 'With text games, you can sit there at the prompt, go make a sandwich, then come back and play more.'


    I can do that in Quake. Hell, I spend most of my online time respawning anyway.
  5. Re:What we need.. on RetroCoder Threatens Security Vendors · · Score: 1

    Will the research tools include stream decoders, decompilers, stack tracers, and windows updates?

  6. Re:Dupe... on RetroCoder Threatens Security Vendors · · Score: 1

    I beleive it is called prior art. This article is null and void!

  7. Re:Neat. on Dungeons and Shadows · · Score: 1

    I thought that was what http://www.linuxgames.com/ was for.

  8. Re:Opteron is not NexGen's tech on Cray Supercomputers to be Based on AMD Opterons · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually the K7 was designed with most of the DEC technology. I'm not knocking AMD though. I've used them since the 386 days. I think they have surpassed the Alpha --me ducks-- in speed and efficiency, though I still wouldn't give up my 433a withought a fist fight.

    Their bus arch and chipset tech is the most interesting. (if someone has proof that AMD didn't design this it better be solid). This attention from Cray, and the super computer people in general, is due more to this success. AMD has the best design and it shows. It is one thing to buy schetches of a something and another to make it fly this good.

    More to the point regarding Cray is their XD1. THAT is a cool machine! I was looking around at different FPGA stuff and almost shorted my keyboard with drool. Damn, I wish I was rich. -sniffle-

  9. Re:How sure? on Man Cures Himself of HIV? · · Score: 1

    Maybe none of the doctors interested him. Someone needs to find him a nice sexy doctor that would make even his mother proud.

  10. Revenge on IBM And Sony Form Linux Alliance · · Score: 1

    IBM is does these things to get back on all of us that supported Microsoft through our hatred for IBM's tyrany. I, for one, feel more humbled each day.

  11. Total waist on Using Gravity To Tow Asteroids · · Score: 1

    There were no signs of the world getting hit by a killer asteroid in any of the star trek movies so between now and then we should be safe.

  12. unfair! on Rejected Xbox 360 Prototype Designs · · Score: 1

    Thats not fair. Their design suggestions get posted on slashdot and mine gets converted into this http://www.sawitfirst.co.uk/content/spaceboyxl/

  13. Insanity Plea on SCO Demands Linux 2.7 Information · · Score: 1

    They are just setting things up so when they loose they can claim Insanity in the counter suit.

  14. order through choice on A Monroe Doctrine for the Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The net allows people to communicate quickly, efficiently, and unsensored. Over the centuries this has only burdened two groups, governments and religions. It could be argued that corporations are now effectively governments like the Barons of days past. It, therefore, stands to reason that the enemy of this freedom is government, religion, and corporations. Exclusion of these entities from governence means only one thing. The individuals ability to make choices will have to be its only form of order. Otherwise. It will be condemned to the desires of the rich, powerful, and zealous.

  15. Re:Black Box on New Technology Could Kill WiMax? · · Score: 1

    Exactly! "OK folks. You can see the output from the perpetual machine but you are not allowed to see inside the box"

  16. Re:$100 per child? on Preview Of The $100 Laptop · · Score: 4, Funny

    What did Sam Kinison http://www.samkinison.org/ say. "Don't send them food. You can't f**king grow food in the desert! Send them f**king U-hauls!
    So, I would say they could use the laptop to find places that rent U-hauls.

    those are interesting headers aren't they! "from: -12393874234" with a fqdn after.

  18. Re:Noble Cause on Alleged Adware Purveyor Indicted · · Score: 1

    I agree. Giving someone free sexual information is a noble cause. With all the fuss you would think he made millions installing rootkits.

  19. Pipes for free on SBC CEO: Pay up if you want to use our pipes · · Score: 1

    I just finished laying some pipe. He's more than welcome to it.

    I remember the last time. Era er arr arrg was all GRA GRRRR ARR ARR ARR too. But, I was like uu uu o ee ee.

  21. modulation on Engineers Report Breakthrough in Laser Beam Tech · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it is impossible but....

    What I would be more interested in is "modulating" a lazer so a portion of it appears to stay suspended in the air. An example would be the stream of water from a sprinkler. It would be the biggest step towards a true 3d display.

  23. Bugz on The Los Alamos Bug · · Score: 1

    If they can create a "bug" that replaces soil nutrients after farming, a bug that removes NOx from exhaust, and a bug that improves peoples driving skills then they will have accomplished world peace. Well, I would be more peaceful on the way to work.

  24. doing it for? on A Guided Tour of the Microsoft Command Shell · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I didn't get very far into the article before they got to the "we do things for you" part. Maybe I'm alone in this belief but I absolutely hate it when a language/shell/application will do things for me.
    For instance (from the article):

    MSH features the typical data types found in most other modern languages: strings, integers, arrays, and hash tables. When you enter any of those kinds of values at the command line, MSH will echo them back.
    msh> "blah"
    blah
    msh> 5
    5
    By comparison, in the Bash shell, expressions are always treated as commands and the echo command must be called explicitly if the user wants to display a value at the command line.


    If I want an echo statement I WILL TYPE echo! I don't want the software to ASSUME (make and ass out of me) if I make a typo!

  25. gourmet food for thought on Honda Fuel Cell Concept with Home H2 Refueling · · Score: 1

    Anyone know how many Kw the gas engine on a hybrid is created? I'd like to make my own conversion using diesel but I don't know what to buy. It would be nice to run bio
