  1. Negligence on Yahoo Sued For Password Breach · · Score: 1

    Using the same password for multiple accounts is a negligent user behavior, though I'd say that storing hundreds of thousands of passwords in clear text wins as being vastly more irresponsible.

  2. Re:Not Anonymous? on Anonymous Helps Turn In Hacker Who Targeted Charity · · Score: 2

    A 35 year old script kiddie, no less. Who lives with his mother.

    That's actually true.

  3. Hoooo boy... on Proprietary Nvidia Linux Driver Contains Privilege Escalation Hole · · Score: 4, Interesting

    With all the recent controversy and Linus and other members of the FOSS community flipping Nvidia the bird over the issue of keeping their driver closed, they're certainly going to take this news and run with it.

  4. Re:Splendid decision on Fedora 18 To Feature the GNOME2 Fork MATE · · Score: 1

    (just not my cup of tea)

    I see what you did there.

    (The namesake of MATE)

  5. Nothing exclusive about it on Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App · · Score: 1

    Every major news network will have this information online within 45 seconds of its announcement anyway.

  6. Re:Dead Battery? on Legend of Zelda NES Nintendo Prototype On Sale For $150K · · Score: 1

    It's not like they're hard to replace...

  7. Re:Were you being sarcastic? on Legend of Zelda NES Nintendo Prototype On Sale For $150K · · Score: 1

    For those who like a rich flavor...

  8. Re:It's out now? on Nintendo 3DS XL Is Out Now · · Score: 2

    From TFA:

    Slashdotters in the USA will have to wait till Mid August for the new console.

  9. Re:Slashdot Grab Bag on World's Most Powerful x86 Supercomputer Boots Up in Germany · · Score: 1

    Bravo. =)

  10. Re:Over Steve Jobs' dead body they will on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    Too soon.

  11. Re:My Mac Sucks on Malware Strikes Apple iOS App Store Again · · Score: 1

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but here are four paragraphs of flamebait which don't really pertain to the subject of the news post.

  12. That's fine... on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 1

    What Google believes to be my name isn't my real name, anyway.

  13. Trends on Don't Super-Size My Smartphone! · · Score: 1

    It has been interesting to watch, throughout the former half of the 2000's, when popular cellphones became smaller and smaller with each generation. Then smartphones game to prominence and during the last five years, they have become larger and larger.

    iPhones catch criticism for being so small or having such tiny screens, but quite frankly they fit my pocket very well and suit my needs perfectly. I'd be unhappy if I had to lug around a panel.

  14. Re:Why Jailbreak? on iOS 6 Beta 3 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    No, piracy is not the only reason. There are many legitimate purposes for an iOS jailbreak.

  15. Re:Tethered jailbreak? on iOS 6 Beta 3 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    Hence, the name "tethered."

  16. Re:Why Jailbreak? on iOS 6 Beta 3 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    This is the highest density of canned Apple flamebait I have seen to date.

  17. Re:Is this announcement from Dell, or Canonical? on Dell To Offer Ubuntu Laptops Again · · Score: 1
  18. Re:Can't wait.... on Dell To Offer Ubuntu Laptops Again · · Score: 1

    And furthermore, no Microsoft tax.

  19. Re:Two steps forward, one step back on Dell To Offer Ubuntu Laptops Again · · Score: 1

    I purchase Dell Precision N-series desktops at my workplace all the time.

  20. Re:zzzzz on Richard Stallman Speaks About UEFI · · Score: 1

    C-x M-c M-titties

  21. Re:How? on Richard Stallman Speaks About UEFI · · Score: 1

    This is how RMS works, though. Any piece of technology (or other product/service) that is not 100% open and artificially restricts its usage in any way is automatically the devil.

  22. Re:That's sort of already the situation with phone on Richard Stallman Speaks About UEFI · · Score: 1

    However, PC motherboards are not subsidized products.

  23. Re:Xul was fun but yeah its dead on Firefox OS Will Win Big With Developers - Mozilla · · Score: 1

    RTFA

  24. Re:ARRRGGGHHHH! IT BURNS! on First Look: Microsoft Office 2013 · · Score: 2

    Don't ever use the words "Ballmer" and "naked" in the same sentence again.

  25. Re:Paging Doc Brown on Record Setting 500 Trillion-Watt Laser Shot Achieved · · Score: 1

    And it would be enough to fire 413,223 DeLoreans through time simultaneously.
