  2. I have an idea on Searching for a Decent Scanner? · · Score: -1, Troll
    Let's see how many dumb-ass questions we can ask of slashdot, and divide them by the number of Karma-Whoring assholes that can come up with a 'nifty" answer. When we get the answer, that's how many "good" scanners there are out there for your sister, buddy.

    Sorry folks, I'm just tired of this.

  3. MS will never have to accept Linux on OSDL CEO: Microsoft Has to Accept Linux · · Score: -1, Redundant

    But they will have to accept the fact the the world is getting smarter, and is not needing the whole windows user-friendly environment any more. Bottom line, the world needs something that accually works, and is open-source.

  4. Re:It's *not* rocket science, guys... on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 0
    Ranks right up there with what happened to me once. The police raided my house looking for drugs, and upon finding a computer they searched it for evidence of drug dealing! They stated that since I had my PC's hard drive partitioned into 4 drives, and had a dual boot (one for Win 98 and one for Win NT), and that they couldn't open files out of the temporary internet files dir, they felt that was reason enough to look for child pornography.

    They ended up finding a lot of pr0n, no child porn.

    The drugs you ask? I put them in the fish-tank cabnet behind the sofa. They never even looked there, which proves the original point?

    Has anyone noticed how freggin HOT it's getting outside these days?

    Another question is, what about the magnetic field around the earth? Why is it changing? Is it because of hair-spray? Or is it due to a natural occurance of Mother Earth?

  10. Bird-like wing design on Shape Changing Plane In Development · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I have to wonder about the usefulness of this. I know a lot of folks that fly small radio controled planes. These planes are very much able to fly in between buildings, swoop down under over-passes, and all the things mentioned in TFA.

    The Air Force and NASA have so far provided about $3 million for the UF research, a substantial portion of which is aimed at addressing that issue by making the planes easier to fly.

    I wonder why they would need to spend that much money on this "new" idea".

    The bird-like prototypes are strikingly maneuverable, capable, for example, of completing three, 360-degree rolls in one second. (An F-16 fighter jet can manage at least one roll per second, but three rolls would produce excessive gravity force, killing the pilot). Flying in videotaped demonstrations, they are so agile they appear out of control at times, and indeed the planes require considerable talent by the remote control pilot.

    Oh, oh oh, I see.

  16. here here on Winemaker Drinks To Linux · · Score: 1
    As a new linux user (and I mean new), I have to say that the linux community has been very helpful in every reguard.

    I don't know what will become of it in the future if a lot of money gets involved. But then again, I think that Linux will always be for the geeks, and learners.

    Now to prove this...

    I've got a server that I'm trying to mount to. How do I find the device name in order to put it in my smb.conf file? I'm running Slackware.

  17. Before you RTFM take the quiz on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 3, Insightful
    These are the questions.

    [1] Is he glib and superficially charming?
    [2] Does he have a grandiose sense of self-worth?
    [3] Is he a pathological liar?
    [4] Is he a con artist or master manipulator?
    [5] When he harms other people, does he feel a lack of remorse or guilt?
    [6] Does he have a shallow affect?
    [7] Is he callous and lacking in empathy?
    [8] Does he fail to accept responsibility for his own actions?

    Now RTFM, and see what they scored. Honestly, I feel that any "good" businessman will tell you that without all of these traits, you cannot succeed in this world we call America. I'm not saying that I agree with the attitude, but really look at it, it seems obvious that a lot of bosses have this attitude. It's almost a "must".

  21. Buying food? on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated? · · Score: 1
    Do you remember when you got that card for your local grocery store? You know the one, it gives you a better price for almost everything, and on your reciept, it tells you how much money you seved. When you first applied for this thing, you had to (in most cases at least) include your social security number even. Don't think that they don't keep track of that. Hell, in this case, they're keeping track of your cookies, and how often you eat them!

    This seems like more of an issue than cookies on your computer that can be deleted.

  23. Farmers anyone? on Extra Daylight Savings May Confuse the Gadgets · · Score: 1
    This "daylight saving" time was invented for farmers to be able to farm and still relate to the rest of the world. Seeing as how this stupid method of keeping "time" is now useless (since there are far fewer farmers in this country these days) it seems like a good idea to conserve energy. I think those who still do farm, can get up when the sun rises still all the same. Besides, we have so many more advanced means to keep up with the world today. Farmers aren't missing anything.

    So really, we could just go with one long continual time string. Don't change it at all. Let's just do away with changing the time all together. I have to disagree with TMM. Some folks would have to work in the dark, on things that would require daylight, like most construction.

  25. Re:What I find interesting is... on Hot Coffee Cooling Off · · Score: 1
    You missed my point bro. In this game, you do things that are illegal, right? You kill, you steal...so many things. The big stink that is, er well, has been made is that the sex is there. I can understand this to a certain extent.

    But if you view it from the eyes of a "child under 18" then you have to take into account that they are trying to protect that child's little mind, right? Isn't it for the good of the children? But these kids have been able to go pick up a prostitue, have sex, and then get out of the vehicle and kill the woman, AND get their money back.

    The image in the mind is not dependant on what the TV is displaying, it is happening in the mind, and the mind knows WTF it's dealing with. This is a pointless objection to the gaming industry, and is purely stupid.

    Purely stupid, just like what the programmers did in the game.
