  1. Divide by two on Humans Nearly Went Extinct 1.2M Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Well, assuming half is male, you can "only" bang 5k women.

  2. A US-based, free e-mail service on Widespread Attacks Exploit Newly-Patched IE Bug · · Score: 3, Insightful

    [...] the Trojan sends a notification e-mail to the attackers, using a US-based, free e-mail service that Symantec declined to name.

    Hotmail, perhaps? No?

  3. Re:Who says science is underfunded? on Huge ISS Science Report Released · · Score: 1

    The ISS is not only about zero-gravity research. It is also about spaceflight. And politics.

  4. Re:Ogg was supposed to do this on Silverlight 3.0 Released, Allows Apps Outside the Browser · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That just doesn't sounds as cool as Smooth Streaming, now does it...

  5. Re:Slashdot is, as usual, behind the times on Dutch Gov. Wants To Tax Online Media To Fund Print · · Score: 1

    You forgot the hs in "angstschreeuw" and "slechtstschrijvend". Also, "slechtstschrijvend" translates to worst writing (not written). Lastly, the correct word is "Jazzzanger" (with an a instead of an i).

  6. Re:Problem Solved Many Years Ago on Student Who Released Code From Assignments Accused of Cheating · · Score: 2, Informative

    jplag is software that does what you describe (not sure about the technology behind it, though). It compares all student submissions and detects similarities. The site seems to be down currently, but this page gives an overview of what it does.

  7. Re:Free Tibet! on A Secure OS For the Dalai Lama? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you mean a Tibet of equal or greater value.

  8. Re:Message to Virginia Fusion Center, from Anonymo on Slashdot Mentioned In Virginia Terrorism Report · · Score: 5, Informative
    For those too lazy to make the conversion, here's Lumpy's message:

    "Only really stupid paranoids think that there is a secret society trying to get them. People in general are too lazy to act en-masse' to disrupt things if they are comfortable. If you are creating misery and death for a group, then by all means worry.\n\nBut these people are simply clutching at straws..\n"

    (Python: ''.join(map(chr, map(lambda x: int(x, 16), s.split()))))

  9. Re:Dumb newbie question on Ubuntu's Laptop Killing Bug Fixed · · Score: 1

    You will have to update your machine right away after installation. As you can see from the file dates at the bottom of the download page, the images are not updated after the initial release: http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/. Hence, *always* perform security updates immediately after installation.

  10. Re:The wheel 2.0... on What Tech Should Be Seen At TED? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, Theo Jansen did a TED presentation on his improvement on te wheel.

  11. Re:Why don't you on Ask Aubrey de Grey About Longevity Research · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Happening already. on China Wants US-Owned Hotels to Censor Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    If they only filter by port, you could open up port 443 (HTTPS) for SSH, in addition to port 22. It is unlikely that they block that port. I did this once for a friend who was in Armenia at the time. Worked for him.

  14. Re:What's with all the goddamn typoos? on Japan Launches Lunar Orbiter Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps 'unmaanned' refers to the fact that the probe does not actually land on the Maan, but just orbits it. ;)

  15. Re:Pegs that variable in the Fermi equation... on Transit Method Reveals Many Extrasolar Planets · · Score: 1

    ...which, I admit, is closely related to the Fermi paradox .

  16. Re:Pegs that variable in the Fermi equation... on Transit Method Reveals Many Extrasolar Planets · · Score: 3, Informative

    Aren't you referring to the Drake equation?

  17. Re:Slashdotted. on Analyzing 20,000 MySpace Passwords · · Score: 3, Informative
