  1. Re:Aside from the 'cool' factor. -- why? on A Commodore 64 For The New Millenium · · Score: 1

    I don't think a Xilinx can do a SID without doing things very differently.

  2. Re:The easy solution on Quickly Filling Up 150GB of Legal Media Files? · · Score: 2, Funny

    BZ2 that an'd you'll be better off with the 50K/s source.

  3. Re:NUMA on Linux Gains Support for NUMA · · Score: 0, Troll

    Could NUMA be perverted into a VM mechanism? :-)

  4. Re:Can DoS ever be totally prevented? on OpenBSD Gets Even More Secure · · Score: 1

    80 times a minute for over half a day is a little excessive.

    If it was anything under 61 times a minute I'd be more sympathetic.

    12 times a minute would be peachy. :-)

  5. Re:Neato on Steam Powered Underwater Jet Engine · · Score: 1

    If only they were incompatible with Windows NT...

  6. Re:Missing the Point on FLAC Joins The Xiph Family · · Score: 2, Informative

    So the point isn't that FLAC is new.

    And I'd laugh my guts out if it were.

    FLAC isn't new.

  7. Re:Algorithms? on FLAC Joins The Xiph Family · · Score: 1

    An interesting idea, Vorbis something then FLAC the deltas and put that in the Ogg.

    Being lossless FLAC is going to care about a bunch of little details that OGG won't.

    Actually I'm going to bet that the Vorbis noise floor management may hurt when FLAC has to deal with it. But FLAC is designed to expect alot of crap to sneak by its main predictors, and into the rice (coding).

    So it beats me. I'd like to see the difference with various instruments.

  8. Re:not just wep on War(ship) Driving For 802.11b Controlled Destroyers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think they'd be suspicious of a little speedboat with a nerdy guy playing with a laptop and aiming a pringles can at their warship.

    I further bet his pringles can won't be much of a match against three marines in scuba gear.

  9. Re:the truth that everyone is afraid of..... on Is Windows Ready For Joe Longneck? · · Score: 1

    Tell me more about AVir (since Google isn't).

  10. Re:Nvidia cards get TOO HOT on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 1

    What if he said "just the last three"? :-)

  11. Just a question for Slashdot... on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 1

    What emailer is he using?

    "got.mil?"

    Go dairy products!!!

  13. Re:Quick notes for spastic no-read replies: on IBM Trials TCPA Chip Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Primary advertised use: for signing and verifying your OWN code, i.e. to protect yourself from root kits.

    Gunna be a big score for Gentoo!

  14. Re:Let's ReCap!! on 98% of DNS Queries at the Root Level are Unnecessary · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't mind banging in IP addresses.

    For you the net might go away, for me it would bloom.

  15. Re:But the real question is... on Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005 · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see a Gametetrahedron.

  16. Re:news.com.com? on Microsoft Loses Showdown in Houston · · Score: 1

    AFAIK its a means to have cookies that work across sites.

  17. Re:because... on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    Thats why cars have roads, we aren't talking about cars though.

    Frankly I wish cars would cease to exist.

  18. Re:This is just silly on Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hitting "MS-DOS Prompt" and getting bash would be sweet though. :-)

  19. Surgery on a vacuum cleaner. on Dissecting the Roomba · · Score: 1

    Anyone remember MST3k when Gypsy kept passing out? :-)

    Also, I didn't see the particular episode but, the accordian/vacuum seemed pretty cool to me.

  20. AB0231! on APC Recalls 2.1 Million UPS Units · · Score: 1

    "You sunk my battleship!"

    Gotta look up how to do the recall thing for 2 units here...

    I guess that $20 UPS deal wasn't.

  21. Re:Punishment... on Appropriate Punishment For Crackers? · · Score: 1

    And what if some cheese gets caught in the crossfire?

  22. Re:PS3?!? Hold on.... on Playstation 3 Gathering Components · · Score: 2

    Hopefully the PS3 will include an "Antialiasing Engine".

  23. Re:Who would spend ... on Radeon 9700 Pro: ATI Ahead · · Score: 2

    You may think that the difference between 96-bit precision and full 128-bit precision is negligible.

    Yup, a factor of 4 billion is such a puny negligible difference. What a waste!

  24. Re:Stupid article on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 2

    And if someone turned around to you and said:

    Sounds like someone got bored with reality and decidied they didn't like it any more that nobody should and lets put more LSD in the water.

    Many people think its great, many others should be worried about the time and money people are loosing to this addictive service.

    Its good to take a pulse on how this is progressing every few moons.

  25. Re:what about? on SGI launches R16000 · · Score: 2

    Here I'd think sane people would think such horrific annhiliation of beowulf mentioners is funny.

    I guess that makes moderators insane...
