  1. Re:Do you know what the funny thing about /. is? on Jon Katz' "Geeks" Goes Hollywood · · Score: 2

    It's the little differences. A lotta the same news we got here they got there,
    but there they're little different.

    I'm sorry. What I meant to say was 'please excuse me.'
    what came out of my mouth was 'Move or I'll kill you!'

  3. Agree About The Separate Category on MAD Cartoonist Don Martin Dies · · Score: 0

    This is one thing I _don't_ want to hear about when I come to Slashdot - the death of someone. I get that enough on the news, when I care enough to watch. Although it's a natural part of life, and I suppose it's 'interesting' to some, I'd like to see a new category for this topic, so I can 'check' it off for news I don't want to see.

  4. I can't email from Netscape on Y2K Rollover - Post Your Experiences Here! · · Score: 2

    Yes, I actually use Netscape for an email program. For me, it's more than adequate. However, after coming back from a lovely murder mystery party, I've tried to email several people. The error I recieve is 'cannot resolve name, please check address in preferences and try again' or something close. In Pine, however, I can email just fine. So I'm not sure what the problem is. Just my .02

    Who moderated me down as #^(&()% FLAMEBAIT? This isn't flame, moron, it's OPINION. However, by using the word 'moron' in this post, THIS is flamebait.

  6. Etoy's Suit Against NSI on eToys Drops Lawsuit Against eToy · · Score: 2

    How does the /. community feel about a suit against NSI? Would such a thing even be worth discussing? Is there even a foot to stand on?

  7. Life Day, And The Measures I Had To Take on Life Day Celebration · · Score: 4

    Well, I passed over the 'Life Day' movie first time around, and so, upon mention of it again here, I checked it out.

    I couldn't have made a worse mistake.

    Being a self-appointed monk, I've taken the worlds sins upon my shoulders. So an adequate punishment for myself was necessary.

    I went to the closet, where I've been hording a bag of Snickers(tm) Brand mini candy bars. I sat on the couch, and ate every last one.

    My stomach bulging, I then topped that off with a full two liter bottle of Pepsi(tm) brand cola.

    Spots swimming before my eyes, I donned my jogging shorts, and went for a mile run. Keep in mind that the most exercise I get is driving a mouse.

    Got back from my run in the 16 degree weather, and took a nice hot shower. I expect the cramp in my muscles and my stomach will subside eventually.

    I did this for you, /. community. My punishment for your sins.

  9. Re:All Kinds of Ugliness Here on Online Gifts Not There Yet? You're Not Alone. · · Score: 2

    As with any credit card, since these items are in dispute, they can be 'deferred' - ie you don't have to pay for them - because you're disputing the transaction with that company. Call your credit card company for details.

    Also, with Victoria's Secret, write an _actual_ letter (not email) to their customer reps. Explain your situation. A lot of the time, they'll be very accomodating.

  10. Circus Freaks on Behold the Lizardman · · Score: 2

    I thought this article was about this guy I saw on a special about human freaks. He had lizard skin tatooed all over his body, and implants in his head to give the impression of little nubs (horns). I believe this guy was on the X-Files at one point, but I haven't watched the show in years (no cable, rural Vermont) so I can't really give insight to that.

    I don't usually use my email address, so I entered. And, sure enough, this morning my mailbox has been filled with this worthless crap.

  12. Re:SF Meets Tech on Driving with Night Vision · · Score: 1

    Gah. I actually taped that when it came out, being a fan of the original show. I was like, 16 when the 2000 movie came out? Gotta find that tape somewhere...
    Now, looking back, I find it simply awful. What they called what you're talking about was 'Virtual Reality Mode.' This tech on the Caddy looks much better.

    I seem to recall the lowest age of consent in the US is 14, but I can't remember what state that is.

    I believe the state you're refering to is Georgia. In fact, I think the AOC used to be 13. Can anyone from Georgia confirm this?

    I'm not a p0rn advocate, but, I have to ask, how does this affect you? I mean, the wonderful thing about having free will is having the freedom to choose. P0rn or no p0rn. Wazez or no warez. Tastes great or less filling. It's your choice! Live and let live.

    I guess it is a pain to have to sift thru all those porn rooms, but other than that, let the perverts be.

  18. You Lied? Then You Are A Fool. on CTO is Too Young for Comdex · · Score: 2

    I believe that Jeff Goldblum had an excellent line in Jurassic Park that went something like '...you spent so much time wondering whether or not you could that you spent no time wondering whether or not you should."

    Advocating that this boy _lie_ is wrong. He should try to negotiate with the Comdex officials, again. Go right up the line, to the very top. If he cannot attend the event, then he should live with it. Comdex isn't the end of the world. Lying may get him in, but it's still wrong.

    It clearly mentions some Linux stuff in there, at least on my machine. Can't remember what it is, but it's looking for a .so file in /dll

    It's probably for the server stuff, as there is a Linux v. of Half Life server, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

  20. Second Set Of Eyes on The Hacking Contest Nobody Tried to Win · · Score: 2

    Sometimes, it simply takes a fresh perspective. When you have the same people looking at the same code for months on end, it's pretty easy to overlook something which you perceive to be "correct." All it takes is someone new to say "Hm. Well, this might work better this way..." and try it out. If it works better, great! Implement the code. If not, well, go back to the old code. That's the beauty of OSS!
