  1. chance occurance on Slashdot's 50 Millionth Page · · Score: 1

    chance... chance... someone was probably running a finite improbablity drive over slashdot.org and the improbabilitness of it reached 1,000,000,000 to 1 against.

  2. compared to NT? on Samba 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    what's the samba benchmark of 193mbits/s compared to NT's? twice as fast? or much higher?

    i'd like to get as much info how this is better than NT so i can convince the school district here to switch to a linux implementation without changing all the clients...

  3. stupid me on Type with your Mind · · Score: 1

    what does ALS stand for again? i know it's some kind of disease... but i forgot what it was..

  4. If your fan works correctly.... on Cooler Cases · · Score: 1

    my friend's fan seems to make clunking noises and the fan stops sometimes... he's cleaned it out several times.. no air flow through that thing (or very little)...

    case off..

    first time that happened, i was really scared so i put it in my freezer with the case off, it took 1/2 hour to cool that thing off properly (didn't want too cold as to have condensation occuring)

    don't worry, he's buying a new case + MB anyway :)..

  5. come on, another 80 comments!! on Supreme Court rules algorithms can be patented... · · Score: 0

    then, this'll be on the hof of most responded to articles...

  6. Wine 990110 out now! on Win32-OS/2 source to be released · · Score: 1

    get the new release at MetaLab i can't believe sengan didn't include that in this article ':P it's on freshmeat.net btw.

  7. does anyone else find this freakin' ironic? on Linux and GNU at their best · · Score: 1

    failure reading a paper about the quality and low failure rate of GNU utilities on a GNU utility.

  8. doh! this is v1.0 of the timeline on LWN Year in Review · · Score: 2

    what was left out of the original synopsis is that this is v1.0 of the timeline with many additions and fixes to the other version which was posted a week ago.

    hrm. maybe the story should have stated that, oh well

  9. idea to stop repeats? on LWN Year in Review · · Score: 2

    slashdot could create a system of
    3-5 simple and significant category/keywords
    that could be assigned to each article.

    for example (this article could be assigned these keywords):
    "Linux Weekly News" "timeline "1998"

    these keywords are SO obvious (or should be), that if the article was ever to be possibly submitted again, the same or very similar keywords would reappear.

    categories for version numbers (obviously needed for version announcements such as new WINE versions or new GIMP versions.) and the most significant URL given are necessary also.

    for example (this article):
    (version number N/A) "http://lwn.net/1999/features/1998timeline/"

    again, the version number and the most significant URL would HAVE to be repeated in order for a repeat article to reappear.

    then when the authors submit their articles, a search can quickly be run through all slashdot articles using this keyword system and the list of really common matches can be shown and then the author can determine whether or not it is worthy enough to run the article again or run it because the keyword system screwed up...

    i just can't stand it when all the comments that fill up this space are just flames and flames upon yet more flames about "repeated articles" "don't you read your own website!?!?"


    also: since slashdot pulls the freshmeat new applist every once in a while, why can't it just scan through it for various programs that are of significant importance, such as WINE, GNOME, and make sure its a new version, then auto-submits it to an author.

    bah these are simple ideas, i hope this makes it to someone who cares.. hmm might send it to rob...
