  1. Dr. Baronovich says: on Soviet Image Editing Tool From 1987 · · Score: 1

    You must think in Russian to use this software.

  2. Oblig. Blade Runner quote on Inventor Builds Robot Wife · · Score: 1

    Basic pleasure model

  3. Doing my part on Linux Needs More Haters · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hate Linux ...OK, you got me, I'm just kidding.

  4. It shouldn't be a problem. on Why the LHC Won't Destroy the World · · Score: 1

    As long as some guy in a suit doesn't whisper 'prepare for unforeseen consequences' in one of the scientists ears, we'll be OK.

  5. Video of his father's reaction on Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades · · Score: 1

    Video of his father's reaction to the charges: http://www.khaaan.com/

  6. Re:Secret Formula on HP Seals the Deal, Buys EDS For $14B · · Score: 1
    HP's secret plan: Fixed it for you.
  7. Microsoft? on Free Phone Calls... If Advertisers Can Eavesdrop · · Score: 1

    So, if I say "Dear Aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all.", I'll get ads for Microsoft voice recognition software?

  8. If she really wanted attention... on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    ... she should have worn one of these http://musepat.club.fr/sfair.htm instead of just some plain breadboard. Don't those MIT types have any fashion sense?

  9. Dude, you're on the wrong thread... on Samsung's 64-GB Solid-State Drive · · Score: 1

    I think you meant to respond to this:

    http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/27/ 1753218

  10. QuickBooks interaction... on Open Office - What's the Downside? · · Score: 1

    I don't use OpenOffice for the same (and really only ) reason I don't use Linux: DOES NOT WORK WITH QUICKBOOKS!

    QuickBooks has the ability to directly interact with Microsoft Word to create collection (ie, please pay your damn bill) letters and the like from Word templates. It takes the overdue account infomation and automatically inserts it into the template. Very useful when you need to send out collection letters to a dozen or so clients.

  11. Anyone else think Apache? on The US Navy Says Goodbye to the Tomcat · · Score: 5, Funny

    At first I thought the Navy was dumping Apache Tomcat! :) http://tomcat.apache.org/

  12. Small business owner's view on Linux Desktop Ready, Says Mainstream Media · · Score: 1

    I'm an owner of a small service-based business that has nothing to do with MS Windows, Linux, Apple, or anything IT related. I consider myself rather tech-savvy, and have setup our own network: A Dell server running MS SBS 2003, and a handful of Dell workstations running Windows XP. When I was researching computers, operating systems, and the like, only ONE THING kept me from choosing a Linux setup over Windows...

    NO QUICKBOOKS!

    Not something that 'is almost, kinda like QuickBooks'...
    Not some opensource pre-beta crap that I have to figure out on my own...
    Not run an almost sunsetted version of QuickBooks on top of an emulation layer...

    No, I'm sorry, but as a small business owner who uses an accountant that prefers QuickBooks (and most that I know, do), I can only settle for the original QuickBooks. Damn you, Intuit, where's the Linux version?

    In my small business owner, end-user eyes, Linux desktop will be mainstream when there is a Linux version of Quickbooks.

  13. Re:Who the hell.... on John Romero, the Man Behind the Hype · · Score: 5, Interesting

    On the last level of Doom II, John Romero says (backwards to sound demon-like) "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero". If you use the noclipping cheat, you can pass through the demon face wall that spits out soul cubes and see John's severed head on a spike. To win the game, you actually have to kill him by shooting through a small opening in the wall with well-timed rocket attacks. Groovy!

  14. Bunny? on Microsoft Confirms New Music Player · · Score: 1

    http://comingzune.com/

    Enough of the stupid viril marketing hype already; a crappy bunny animation does not make me interested in your product, Microsoft.

    Please just show me the damn product and tell me why it is better than the iPod.

    I too would like to see this product succeed and be a real competition to Apple's iPod.

  15. Re:Also the anniversery of the 1st lunar landing on 30th Anniversary of Viking Landing on Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least we're still sending robotic probes and such to Mars. When is the last time we sent a human to the moon? Where's our permanent moon base, and the flying cars we're supposed to have by now? :)

  16. Re:Now you did it on Legal DVD Burnable Downloads Launched · · Score: 1

    To speed up delivery, the movies will be delivered via racetrack horses; kinda like the Pony Express. As we all know, racetrack horses have no problem with internet congestion, and can just run through the tubes at high speed.

  17. Re:That new stack... on Windows Vista still Rife with Insecure Code · · Score: 1

  19. Re:Like the JPEG "virus" on Virus Jumps to RFID · · Score: 1

    Perhaps there needs to be some catchy name for this type of attack...
    RFID injection attack?
