  1. For knives and stabbing weapons... on Fast Robot Prototyping · · Score: 4, Funny

    My rapid prototyping machine is the T-1000. The biggest problem is that it can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way.

  2. WTF on HP to Install Netscape on all new PCs · · Score: 1

    Why the F or How the F did Navigator become Netscape? I'm waiting for the day that Windows becomes Microsoft or Photoshop becomes Adobe. Becauase after that, next comes the apocalypse when we all die.

  3. Old Story on A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing · · Score: 1
  4. Alta Vista on Dvorak on Microsoft Confusing the Market · · Score: 1

    I comes with older search technology. Discaimer: I haven't used altavista in years.

    640 Watts should be enough for anybody!

  8. Java programs just don't work. on Is Rodi BitTorrent's Replacement? · · Score: 1

    Web hosted applets, sometimes work. However, stand-alone java apps suck. Just out of curiosity, can you compile this fucking java shit?

  9. Re:some issues.... on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1

    shoot, i meant to type "when"! now, if i could just get people to stop TYPEING WITH AID OF THE CAPS LOCK KEY.

  10. Re:some issues.... on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1

    i totally agree. once you go case intensive you never want to go back. i personally feel much more productive without case. When i think about objects or methods or even words, i don't think about the case.

  11. Re: Professional Excel Development on Professional Excel Development · · Score: 1

    some amazing graphing tools?
    The graphs that come out of excel make my stomach churn. The color schemes are so ugly; the lines are thick and aliased. The labels are difficult to read and, more often than not, positioned in a suboptimal way. The basic chart types have not been updated in years. On top of it all the graphs do not export well. Getting the information to look the way it should is more difficult than it should.

  12. Re:So this will... on Nokia Announces Hard-Drive Phone · · Score: 1

    work out for Nokia like the N-Gage?
    I was just thinking the same thing.

    Maybe they should make a phone with big fucking rubber buttons for those of us with large hands.

  13. Re:Hibernating on Hibernation on Demand · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was going to sell my RTFA3000 software, but then I realized that Tridge was going to reverse engineer it. Therefore, I decided to preemptively revoke slashdot's license.

  14. Re:Momentarily?? on Human Hibernation on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Well, I thought it was funny.

    Wasn't that because he was deaf?!?

  16. Re:Hmmm.... on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    It appears that mirrordot does not mirror images. So, I wonder why they even mirrored that page?

  17. Dual Hash on SHA-1 Broken · · Score: 1

    You can allways use two hashes. Hash the stream once with SHA1-384 then Hash it with MD5. The chances of a double collision are nill.

  18. Re:Best logo on Free IDE Gambas Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    That about:config is reall cool. Thanks for the post.

  19. More TLD ideas. on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    > judging by the people with moderating points

    No shit, because people with mod points rarly waste them on shitty discussions like this one.

    > after all I'm not american

    This just in from noshit.com

    > Now I'm not continuing this stupid argument.

    Good, I win.

    you better laugh now, because with our crazy-as-shit government, if we get attacted again we might nuke somebody, maybe you.

    > It wasn't a flame.
    Ok, so it was a troll.

    > I made a simple comment about the eastern european countries, without even mentioning the US.
    Ok, so it was off topic.

    > You chose to be US-arrogant, got the reply you deserved. Ever thought why the whole world hates the US? It's not because you're the greatest or because they're jealous or even because of Iraq. It's because you're arrogant, so try to work on that.
    I am not even sure where to start. What is it to be "US-arrogant"? Nice use of hyperbole with your "whole world hates the US" bit.

    > And if you don't believe me, you should reconnect to reality.
    I should believe what reality?

    First, a response to your flame: You're a moron.

    There is a relationship between per capita gross domestic product and cost of living, but I was not interested in exploring that relationship. Your wonderful OCDE did not even mention cost of living.

  23. Re:It's not an anomalie on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1
    That is not what I was trying to say. What I was trying to say is that you can not look at gross income to performance ratios in different geographies. And then take that metric and use it to rate those geographies.

    The second point was that computers make kids stupid and fat (Joke).

  24. Re:It's not an anomalie on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1
    The cost of living is also much lower in the Czech Republic, than the US. I would also bet that unemployment is higher in the CR. So the government does not have to pay instructors as much.

    I would also think that Czechs have less than one computer in the average home, giving their kids higher test scores.
