    so, what hapens if there is a redneck female geek? do they have to watch shows like "GI Jane"?

  2. Re:My /home is encrypted on Encrypted Filesystems With Linux? · · Score: 1

    maybe you meant "it's by far more efficient to criple analyze the person instead...

    :-)

  3. Cursor error or cut and paste error? on An Open Letter From Bob Young · · Score: 1

    "(who can and frequently restrict access to information you does need)"

    uhhhh, misplaced cursor problem? i think he meant

    (who can and frequently does restrict access to information you need)

  4. Re:Politics on RH7 Crashes In Three Weeks (But Fixed) · · Score: 1

    and then if they waited, we could complain that this is old news! a win-win situation, we get to bitch and moan no matter what the editors do.

  5. Re:Uses of titanium on Titanium As Cheap As Aluminum? · · Score: 1

    Ummmmm, you ask 1010011010 to back up his comments, but then provide no backup to your own?

    forgive me if i just don't understand.

  6. Re:unprofessionalism on Slashnet Forum Chat Log · · Score: 1

    Also, one tends to get tired of having the same discussion for *years*. there just comes a point where it is just easier and takes lots less time to just say "Signal 11 is an idiot"

  7. Re:This is a stale Microsoft Page on Time To Re-Evaluate Microsoft's Linux Myths Page? · · Score: 1

    Yes but many corporations are not yet using Win2k. It will take *years* before 2k replaces NT4 in most of corporate america and elsewhere.

  8. mirror? on SuSE 7.0 Available For Download · · Score: 1

    "I will make a sizeable contribution to The Human Fund in the name of everyone who establishes or points to a mirror :)"

    Hey look, there's a mirror over there! /me points

  9. Re:will this really be helpful? on Judge Thinks Delete Should Mean Delete · · Score: 1

    Somebody please correct me if i am wrong, but i was under the impression that a statute of limitations only meant that you couldn't prosecute someone after the statute of limitations has expired.
    (of course the mandatory IANAL)

  10. Re:How do you establish time? on Judge Thinks Delete Should Mean Delete · · Score: 1

    What we need to establish time/date/author/... is a central authority that can keep track of all of that stuff for us. and then we can be assured of the authenticity of any email we send. :)

  11. Does anyone else find it interesting... on Apache vs IIS in Performance? · · Score: 1

    ...that a majority of the posts here don't directly address his question? Most posts have instead fallen back to the security/uptime argument, which is *very* important but he specifically asked about performance issues.

    just my 2 cents

  12. Re:Yet Another Late Announcement on SlashNET IRC Chat Tonight w/ CmdrTaco & Hemos · · Score: 1

    Hey, at least the time interval here between their telling us and the actual event is a little better. this is almost 8 hours notice. maybe next time it will be a full day, and the next time a few days, and before you know it we might actually get a weeks notice before an event. :)

  13. Re:Typical male geeks on Let Your Computer Watch For Auroras! · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it is just (male) geeks who are using computers to find pr0n, i think it has probably made the jump into the (male) population at large.

  14. Four letter words on Online 'Sand Mouse' Tests Neurobiologists · · Score: 1

    So, how long will it be before someone starts teaching this thing four letter words?

  15. Re:Andromedia Strain? on Mir Likely To Be Deorbited [Updated] · · Score: 1

    The Andromedia Strain started out killing people (hence the reason that Crichton got a whole book out of it). Only later did the bacteria/virus (i don't remember which) mutate to eat rubber.
    So, maybe the fungus from MIR will mutate from something that eats rubber/other materials to something that kills *everybody*.

    oh well, one can always hope.

  16. Re:A similar service? on Napster Back in Court · · Score: 1

    Right, emusic.com is legal. But, it does offer a subscription option (eg. download as many of our mp3s in a month as you want for $20 or less) in addition to being able to pay on a per track basis. esentially this seems to be the model for what some people here are advicating, they just don't have all the songs that napster has.

  17. Re:More ideas for slashot moderation on Interesting Moderation Proposal · · Score: 1

    How 'bout a +1 WTF?

  18. A similar service? on Napster Back in Court · · Score: 3

    emusic.com offers a (kind of) similar service here.

  19. Re:SW Airlines has (had?) a similar service on In-Flight Web Access Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    But Google is cached. at least all of the links they return you for your search. the biggest remaining problem is trying to fit all of that onto each plane...

  20. Re:Just what I wanted to know... on What's That In Your Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but trying to put the keys back in the same place is always fun.

    or, putting them back in different places is always fun too =)

  21. Re:Calculators on HP Plans The Uber-Calculator · · Score: 1

    yes, but sometimes it takes *all* of the calculus functionality of my hp 48G to balance my checkbook.

  22. Re:Shades of grey? on HP Plans The Uber-Calculator · · Score: 1

    When i got my hp 48G (7-8 years ago) i spent many hours of class playing the built in mine sweeper. if they want to put an mp3 player in something that i could have convinced my parents that i needed, i'm all for that.

  23. Re:Mice for Lefties on Review Of The New Apple Mouse · · Score: 1

    My intellimouse explorer (5 button optical, one big button on the left side of the mouse, one on the right) is symetric lengthwise, so it will work the same for righties or lefties...

  24. Home decor on Review Of The New Apple Mouse · · Score: 1
