  • Should I take this title literally or not? Or am I going to have to apply more extreme methods to find out? (Of course, I could always listen to the stream, but that would be far, FAR too simple.) - Cliff
  • WTF is this lane thing that they refer to in the segment?
  • The whole problem with directory windows not staying synced with what's actually on disk is not a problem on BeOS. The Tracker uses a special feature of the file system called node monitoring. This means that if your monitoring a node (which can be a directory), then you will get a message whenever something happens. No polling involved. Very smooth.
  • Did someone say Open Source muds?
  • For an alternative to GiS, check out My Bong Runs Linux [analog2digital.net]. It's another geek radio show, that, well, just click on the link.
  • (and then everyone dies, I love it)

    Yea, I've got my tape recorder ready for sat the 8th. I'm ready for some new episodes, if only TW didn't own Cartoon Network, I wouldn't have to ignore all the AOL commercials, get's annoying with 3 or 4 an hour.

  • Well... you managed to shit on GiS for the week Rob wasn't there. Way to go. That's when I turned off your show.
  • Shouldn't the mail-order bride be from Elbonia?
  • The GiS rendition of Dr. Zaus was prety good though.
  • I came here to say that... but you already had :)

    Most of the comments posted at the /. announcement were SOOOO incorrect.... JUST TRY IT!

  • Toonami is the best!!!! on this Sat. 4/7/00 they're having an all day marathon. and showing the Garlic Jr. Saga... must watch all day (possibly record with my new TV-tuner card)

    Ted....

    (I WILL have the ultmate colection of Simpsons episodes ever...)

  • Wow.. the second time the Slashdot guys have done the "I am the dervish of declenchion, with maximum hit points and infinite charisma." thing on GiS.

    Time for some new material, boys. :)

  • I liked the first time better than the 2nd though.. :)
  • I think i found the final element missing from /. the Gdancer plugin to give a talk show like feel to the stream.

    off and out
  • Forgive me pope, for I have sinned. I broke the 5th Kurt commandment. I wished in my heart to heart to send him spam. oh well who cares. DBZ rules, Ytv's almsot at the end of the freeza saga. gotta love that anime crap yaa
  • You are most correct. No power converters needed. Now, where's my free PlayStation 2 for verifying this?

  • Hey, I've written CmdrTaco but didn't hear back or anything- do you guys at Geeks In Space want any music composed for you, stuff to throw in or anything? I'm serious- I've been a slashdotter from way back and I have this killer studio now and I'd like to do some giving back. I totally relate to 'gift culture' when it comes to my music. Seems like that's the natural way for it to go.

    And, you know, I'd also really really like the opensource-like benefit of status and appreciation- but ya know it seems like that's going to happen anyhow regardless on account of I don't suck :) "Dog" [mp3.com] debuted at 54 (out of over 10,000) on the mp3.com instrumental rock charts! And it's still there and sneaking slowly up the main charts- in fact it's on page two of the instrumental rock chart webpages, and that's from a totally new artist who's never been seen on mp3.com before. "Horse" [mp3.com] is also quite good but I think "Dog" [mp3.com] is the breakout hit. They're both going to be heard a lot- they're both free- they're both licensed for radio station play, for that matter.

    So can I do anything for Geeks In Space? I really like it. I also have this monster studio from hell [airwindows.com] going, and there are a lot of neat sounds and effects and riffs and things I could give Geeks In Space. Whaddya need?


  • First of all, IJLS:

    ...to sneak up into my room under cover of darkness and put ether over my face and to do terrible thing and photograph them and put them on the Internet...

    That had to be one of the best "reason-not-to-piss-off-the-scary-psychotic-guy"-t ype things I've ever heard.

    Anyway, version numbering in certain free software projects can sometimes tend toward the dizzying. It seems as though whenever they release a new version, rather than incrementing the version number, as a normal person would expect, they add another significant figure to it. This is what leads to things like "Perl five dot oh oh five oh four" (which caused all kilnds of pain for my project at SGI, where I no longer work).

    Reluctance to increment the more significant digits in favor of the less significant ones also leads to "Linux two dot one dot sixty-five thousand, five hundred and thirty-five". (They only bumped it up to "two dot two dot oh" to avoid a sixteen-bit overflow on some of the older architectures.) Then again, I guess it's not as bad as Windows skipping 91.9 versions a few yaers back.

    By the way, I'm pretty sure "...it was Earth all along", not "us".

    Finally, about Comedy Central: South Park and The Daily Show -- Yep, that's pretty much it. But we can't forget The Man Show, which fills part of the gap left by Dick Dietrich's Night Stand, or Win Ben Stein's Money which makes the (as far as I know) unprecedented accomplishment of being a game show that's actually entertaining.

  • Totally, I can't miss it now. Give me my adult anime (and that's mature not pr0n). I just built my own Gundam from one of those kits. TOONAMI Uncut!

  • Yay for the Musical Rendition of "The Planet of the Apes: The Musical"!!!!

    Geeks in Space just score 5 more points in culture, and 3 for style.

    It was great, it was powerful, and spontaneous.

    Carlos loved it!!!
