  1. Re:Tab on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Try to do cvs com[tab] or in other places, it's like magic!

  2. Re:rm -rf / on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Yeah? Try removing ncurses.. You can't even compile it anymore...

  3. Re:I haven't followed the whole Android business, on T-Mobile G1 Rooted · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Better get used to it. First was the "hacker" word, now "rooting".
    What's next, "open"?

  4. Re:A beam from the LHC can melt a 500kg block of c on Experimental Magnetic Shield Against Cosmic Rays · · Score: 1

    .15 cm * 4000 cm == 600 cm^2. density of copper is about 9 g/cm^2,

    Why cm^2 (square centimeters), not cm^3? It should be 0.15 * 0.15 * PI * 4000 cm = 282 cm^3. so 2544g of copper per 0.86 of millisecond.
    This gives 76ms to melt 227kg of copper.

  5. Re:Thank you! on Wayland, a New X Server For Linux · · Score: 1

    X does not *have* to run the graphics ... just because Xorg/Xfree86 and just X before that (usually?) worked that way, that doesn't mean it's the only way it can be done. Counter-examples include X on OS X (yes, I know, it was mentioned), X on Windows, and even things like Xvnc, Xvfb and Xnest.

    So you say X is like matrix, an application that has been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth?

  6. Re:Really on Shuttleworth Says Canonical Is Not Cash-Flow Positive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think you haven't tried debian AND ubuntu. Ubuntu IS easier than debian, it's small things but overall configuration is easier and installing new packages and services is easier. My company's small development server is now on ubuntu (but desktop edition, we use windows for workstations, we sometimes need to check pages under linux).

  7. Re:Usability Glitch? on Finnish E-Voting System Loses 2% of Votes · · Score: 1

    Only half of 1%?! Wow. Finnish voters must be much more careful (or draw less Donald Ducks) than Australian voters then.

    Yeah, compare this to Poland where in next presidental elections we will have to choose between Donald Tusk and Lech Kaczynski (Lech Ducky).

  8. Re:welcome on Running Google Android On iPhone Clones · · Score: 1

    Instead of search & destroy those overlords will have more plausible mission: 1. search 2. ??? 3. profit.

  9. Re:Surprise! on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    It will probably be Windows Sahara. Which will be looking strangely similar to ubuntu.

  10. Re:Dick works best... on Brains Work Best At Age of 39 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Obviously not, we are capable of thinking with one and not with the other at any given moment!

    This explains why slashdoters are so smart.

    In soviet russia, government controls microsoft.

  12. Re:Hmm... on Corporate Data Centers As Ethernet's Next Frontier · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No more USB cables with a million different connector types.

    You realise "no more different connector types" was the reasoning with USB?

  14. $200K on TSA Employee Caught With $200K Worth of Stolen Property · · Score: 1
    Hmm, $200K? Fortune cookie right now on slashdot:

    There's a little picture of ED MCMAHON doing BAD THINGS to JOAN RIVERS in a $200,000 MALIBU BEACH HOUSE!!

  15. Re:1984? More like 2014. on Passport Required To Buy Mobile Phones In the UK · · Score: 1

    I think I'm being watched has really got me thinking. Is it auto-irony or making people used to idea of being watched?

  16. Re:Peace on LittleBigPlanet Delayed Due To Qur'an-Sampling Audio · · Score: 1

    Oh no! We must kill them all before they can kill us all. Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure... /sarcasm
    But this begs for the question: what could we do to make them not want to kill us, non-muslims? If we all allowed them to live like americans, soon everyone would be more lazy. Only problem is that they try to actually fight the american way of life.

  17. Re:Uptime... on Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    Windows has gotten much better about not requiring restarts for updates. A huge change from its Windows 95/98 and NT days.

    Yeah, now in every update pack only 2 out of 10 updates require restart.

  18. Re:Solution - lower the max volume on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    It would be possible, if there was equal volume response for all earphones.

    Many people will. Many times I didn't click the submit button after reading what I just wrote.

  20. Re:data mining is just a last gasp tool on Anti-Terrorist Data Mining Doesn't Work Very Well · · Score: 1

    datamining is something to back up a hunch, something to suggest an avenue to look where you might find more, something better than a wild ass guess about where to look. but certainly not a front line tool, and certainly not the first place you visit, nor proof of anything. its not evidence, its just scattershot impressionism, to guide you in vague ways. your front line tools are spies and moles.

    Brilliant piece of taoistic AI poetry, sir.

  21. Is it effective? on Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, but how much energy does generating one tonne of CO2 give? It still just capturing CO2, they need still more energy to eventually convert it to fuel

  22. Re:Solution here : on The Facts & Fiction of Bandwidth Caps · · Score: 1

    If you load the 'tube' onto radio waves, you are off the hook for good.

    Hook without a string is still painfull...

    Are you probably from grammar salvation army?

  24. Re:No Job for You on Microsoft's Mundie Sees a Future In Spatial Computing · · Score: 1

    First we need to know what is creativity. How can we make things "out of nothing". Maybe it's possible due to one thing which we try to eliminate from computers all the time: random noise. If we look at brain, it's really noisy. It's actually as noisy as it can be and still function. So actually human creativity is "many monkey" approach with filters (broken ideas are typically filtered even before we consciously think about them).
