    there already is. its title is "Java and XML". It is an O'Reilly book. It can be found here at fatbrain.

  3. Re:Reselling software on US Copyright Office Releases DMCA Advisory Report · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that won't matter in a few years when all software is subscription based. there won't be anything to resell.

    sucks, doesn't it?

  4. Re:Intel ? on The New Athlons · · Score: 1

    Nice troll. One small point that i would like to make is that you can't do SMP with the P4s, but you can with the athlons.

  5. Re:Help stress test the new Slashdot on Help Stress Test The New Slashdot · · Score: 3, Funny

  6. Re:Drivers Licenses! on All The World Over, Your Stolen I.D. · · Score: 1

    I have had drivers licenses in Minnesota, Michigan, and Utah. And the neither Michigan nor Minnesota used the SSN for the Drivers License number. Utah also doesn't use the SSN for the drivers license number, but it is an option to put your ssn on your drivers license (isn't that just a wonderful idea?).

  7. Re:how long can FDL licensing last? on Linux Device Drivers, 2nd ed. Released Under GNU FDL · · Score: 1

    It might just be me, but the first time i saw FDL i thought it stood for FUD Documentation Language...

  8. Re:Me too! Me too! on Akira Re-Released · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Read the letter: it also attacks the link! on Barney vs. Right to Satire · · Score: 1

    In this particular case I am all for no one EVER linking to their site. including all search engines as well as all other pages and idealy all DNS servers too.

  12. Re:Don't joke about killing Barney... on Barney vs. Right to Satire · · Score: 1

    well, maybe not. but could you at least throw CATS into the mix somehow?

    don't you mean Katz?

  13. Re:Panel orientation needs location and time? on Hyperion Robot Follows the Sun · · Score: 1

    Comparing its location and that of the Sun, the robot can calculate where the shadows of hills and mountains fall at the time. Hyperion then is supposed to plot an optimum path to avoid pitfalls and shadow.

    from the times article it sounds like given that information the robot is going to have some sort of terrain map and will use its position and the sun's position to calculate the positions of shadows around it. (although why it doesn't just look, i don't know.)

  14. Re:The water in the think tank needs cleaning. on MilSpec Biotech · · Score: 1

    Brain implants? I knew a Captain who could have used one of those...

    don't you mean cmdr?

  15. Re:Cricket? on Ask Robert Merkel About GnuCash Development · · Score: 1

    maybe i need to get out more.

    try doing a search on slashdot on diablo. There have been *lots* of stories on diabloII, especially regarding upcoming releases and betas.

  17. should this happen more often? on The Superior Motif? · · Score: 1

    "Millions of lines of [Insert Your product here] Motif get written and not one word about it leaves the company doors"

    doesn't everyone know products that they wish word never got out about?

  18. Re:Theme on William Shatner To Host American "Iron Chef"? · · Score: 2

    Shatner singing the theme song can't really be worse than Chuck Noris singing his own theme song (for Walker Texas Rangers).

  19. Whiny bitches... on Asus Dropping See Through Drivers · · Score: 1

    From reading the majority of comments here we all sound like damn whining bitches.
