  1. Re:But what about winmodem support?- yup! on System Recovery with Knoppix · · Score: 1

    Okay, why is my post modded funny.

    Why has anyone assumed that I have read the article?

    And back to my original question, where can I find useful information on driving winmodems from live linux CDs?

  2. But what about winmodem support? on System Recovery with Knoppix · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm dying to figure this part out...

  3. Re:MEPIS rocks for this too... on System Recovery with Knoppix · · Score: 1

    Did I mention how MEPIS was annoyingly easy to install for me. ANNOYINGLY

    It needs to be more difficult, or at least spew more arcane stuff during install.

  4. Re:Gattaca, and ethical dilemmas on Harvard to Clone Human Embryos? · · Score: 1

    That movie was so incredibly lame.

  5. Re:what is parrot? on Parrot 0.1.1 'Poicephalus' Released · · Score: 1

    There are 10 kinds of people: Those that understand trinary; those that don't; and those that don't care.

    What about the ones that count from zero?

  6. Re:Another unexplained submission? on Linus Pooh-Pooh's Real-Time Patch · · Score: 1

    I'd complain more about "Parrot" than "Linux", also, there are comments here pertaining to "Windows".

    Really, do I look like a fecking dictionary?
    Someone explain all this stuff!

  7. Re:Poo Poos? on Linus Pooh-Pooh's Real-Time Patch · · Score: 1

    Its the kind of smooth it over headline about a penguin fanatic who shrugged off putting something in his branch of a free, open, and readily forkable bit of software.

    Billy G isn't doing Windows for the kudos of it, hes making money and stimulating an economy of babysitting a broken closed and not readily fork and fixable bit of software. And he has enough money that he can prolly buy you off if you dare suggest he Poo Poos anything.

    All things being equal, this wouldn't be noteworthy.

  8. Re:Wait just a minute... on Virgin's New iPod Rival · · Score: 1

    Since Xiph got a hold of it and, uhh, hmmm, no.

    Well, as far as megacorps like Virgin go, perhaps it is open, to them. Thats my best guess.

  9. Re:Slashtorrent. on Red vs. Blue Season 3 Begins · · Score: 1

    I agree, all the money I'm not paying Slashdot so I can get the satisfaction of blocking their sponsors ads globally should go to supporting their own torrent tracker.

  10. Re:bad compression ratio on Red vs. Blue Season 3 Begins · · Score: 1

    I dunno, I think any encoder would enjoy drop-frame deinterlacing. There are also a couple other higher quality deinterlacing methods that don't involve generating half-interlaced output.

  11. Re:Season 1 and 2 on Red vs. Blue Season 3 Begins · · Score: 1

    Why do people use .rar?

    Its a lousy distribution format, its closed, its payware, and linux support is awful (as in "time to install WINE because someone just had to go put something in a RAR file again...)

    Why wont .rar died a quick death? Do people think they're 1337 because they use it? Really, what is with this!?

    Good.

  13. Re:Better update my mtach.com profile on Halo 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Yes, me too!

    I won't have time for my girlfriend either, or the two wives. Yes it'll be a sad sacrifice, but one that must be made.

    Move along now.

    Yeah, if only we had launched a swarm of military laser probes with it.

  16. Re:That's what you get... on Indymedia Seizures Initiated In Europe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It also serves as a good reminder to consider using encrypted discs for servers where the data should not fall into the hands of law-enforcement.

    Yes, because freely available news for a public audience should always be otherwise top-secret.

    Anyways, indymedia prolly isn't into kidnapping, doesn't have much of a cash flow to launder, so they're international terrorists for some reason...

  17. Re:Diebold on House Candidate Lets Web Users Set His Schedule · · Score: 1

    Sounds like something out of the sims.

    1. Have him take a shower.
    2. Have him change a lightbulb.

    It would be cool to go to the kitchen, start making breakfast, then come back to the computer and see a bunch of progress bars, for the toaster and the microwave, etc. blah percent complete, blah remaining.

  22. Re:ddos as the equivalent of a nuke? on S. Korea Claims N. Korea Has Trained 600 Crackers · · Score: 1

    But thats peanuts compared to irradiating everything for miles around you, yes?

    Now look at the subject line.

    If the Korean DDoS squad wants to harass a few net-businesses, well, that might eventually become troublesome.

    I'd still be more worried about script kiddies at that point though.

    You don't really see suicide bombers blowing up our freeways do you? Heck, you don't see bombers that live afterwards that cause even a couple hours damage there.

    Its really peanuts compared to remote launching one of our own missiles into say, one of our cry-baby cities, like New York.

    Heck, it'd actually be legal for a bunch of Korean citizens to get on the freeway, spread out, and pedal really slowly.

    DDoS is so stupid...

    Never mind the dangers of random strangers deciding to impale you with a lightning rod...

    If the bike can handle rain without killing the rider, it can prolly handle jerks with coke too.

    And if it can't handle that, I think its about time for a class action lawsuit. :-)

  25. Re:De-FUD'ing windpower. on World's Largest Wind Turbine · · Score: 2, Funny

    The key to a sensible energy future is to not be fanatical for/against any one source, but to exploit them all where and how it makes sense.

    Yeah, human furnaces are really being ignored here.

    When I die I want to be contributed to the energy grid.
