  1. Inevitable clod quote.... on New Slashdot T-Shirts On Sale Now · · Score: 5, Funny

    But I'm a nudist you insensitive clod !.

  2. Re:In addition on Seeking a Solid Java Textbook? · · Score: 1

    Another thumbs up for "Beginning Java". For object orientation with a Java emphasis though, I'd very higly recommend "The Object Oriented Thought Process". It's not a very large book but it covers a lot very quickly with good, short examples and diagrams.

  3. Re:On the other hand... on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    "Let everyone go to his private shelter. Empty the streets. There to find the city of the dead. Let the blessing of the Bomb Almighty and the fellowship of the Holy Fallout descend on us all, this day and forever more." -- Beneath the Planet of the Apes

  4. Re:Pretty Damn Impressive... on DefCon WiFi Shootout Winner Announced · · Score: 2, Funny
    Yeah, but they don't tell you about the guy having to hold onto it with one hand while twirling a metal hool-a-hoop with the other hand and hoping up and down on one foot while wearing an aluminum foil beanie.

    Still pretty impressive though. I wonder what they could do about my crappy cable TV service if I have them a $150 home depot gift card ?

  5. Adobe on Linux well worth the bucks.... on Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney · · Score: 1

    I'd give my left nut for a native port of PhotoShop on Linux. That is, if I didn't already owe it to SCo for licensing fees :--(

  6. Re:Wolf 3D on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    I'd argue with you over that assertion but right now it's time to eat more dog food ! Mmmmmmm....Alpo...

  7. Just like fight club on SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages · · Score: 1

    This whole fiasco reminds me of that scene in the move "Fight Club" where Edward Norton's character is in his boss's office and he starts beating himself up and shouting "stop ! No ! Don't do that..." just before security shows up. He ends up bloodied but walking out of the building with all sorts of "hush goodies". SCO sucks. Plain and simple.

  8. Re:JDO vs EJB Entity Beans? on Java Data Objects · · Score: 1

    No. Swing is the bad apple that has spoiled the whole J2SE barrel.

  9. Re:"Nerds" are interested in more than OSS on CIOs Looking At OSS · · Score: 1

    I would say that Linux users are more like the car from the mid 70's that was called "The Thing". I think AMC made it. You could replace or remove options (doors, roof, interior) at will in order to suite your lifestyle.

  10. Re:Inevitable on IBM To Repair Smoking Monitors · · Score: 2, Funny

    **POOF ** You've got SMOKE !!!

  11. Re:I'm spending it on How Are You Spending Your Christmas Vacation? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A little "ho, ho, ho" for your Christmas spirits...

  12. Re:Gold Medal in.. uh.. hacking? on Computer Attack and Defense As Spectator Sport · · Score: 1

    Not far fetched considering the recent announcement of inclusion of Ballroom Dancing in the Olympics.

  13. Unfortunately the signal was saying... on Whisper Heard From Pioneer 10 · · Score: 2, Funny

    "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and dial again..."

  14. Re:Real X-mas gifts on Geek Christmas Gift Ideas · · Score: 1

    Why stop there. I could really use a a Beowulf cluster of girlfriends to make up for lost time.

  15. Re:Is this really Solaris? on Solaris: Another View · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wanted to go see this movie so I jumped in the car and drove to the theater only to find that I had left my pre-purchased tickets at /export/home.

  16. Re:5 years? You are an optimist on HOWTO: Annoy a Spammer · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, just for the sake of argument, say someone orders twenty pizzas be delivered to his house. That would be grounds for a claim of fraud ?

    Mmmmmmm.... Pizza.

  17. Re:This is different on HOWTO: Annoy a Spammer · · Score: 1

    Snail mail is a bit harder to get rid of though because there is no Procmail equivalant. Unless you have a secretary or someone to pre-sort and filter your snail mail, of course.

  18. Re:Oh great, Slashdot likes it.. on Spielberg's Taken · · Score: 1

    I would but then it's probably already, um... taken.

  19. Re:Spoiler filled? on Lord of the Rings: Two Towers Reviews Rolling In · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just imagine a beowulf cluster of those !

  20. Hey ! I resent that.... on Java Developers Almanac 1.4 Vol. 1 · · Score: 1

    Not all of us drink (anymore).

  21. Re:Rational for protesting? on Organizing Sim Protests · · Score: 2, Funny

    And while your at it...get off my lawn !

  22. Have to ask... on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 1

    Is that your real hair or have you glued a tribble to your cranium ?

  23. Re:Two simple things... on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    While I agree that mySQL does in fact rock and should be the database choice for most apps (where applicable), I do believe you are wrong on the Sybase writing SQL Server part. Sybase code was last used and relicensed by Monkeysoft back in the SQL Server for IBM OS/2 release. After 4.2 was out, they completely rewrote the code themselves. So 6.0, 6.5, 7.0 and 2000 are completely Monkeysoft products with no involvement from Sybase.

  24. Re:Java! on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    And quicken too..

    How bout gnucash

  25. Re:Well on Java Development with Ant · · Score: 1

    You just didn't specify the correct Ant "task".
