  1. oracle? on Northeastern University Sues Google Over Patent · · Score: 1

    so how is this different from an oracle database system that utilizes multiple database nodes?

  2. they assume? on Loophole in Windows Random Number Generator · · Score: 1

    Although they only checked Windows 2000, they assume that XP and Vista use similar random number generators and may also be vulnerable. The full text of the paper is available in PDF format."

    And what happens when we make assumptions? we make an ass of me, and you make more money

  3. pulling a Costanza on Dvorak Says gPhone is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Looks like he's taking note of George Costanza and saying the opposite of what he really thinks?

  4. wtf on Congress Pressures DoJ With PIRATE Part II · · Score: 1

    this is complete horse shit. she purpose of civil law is so that individual citizens can resolve issues amongst themselves, not so the government can go after people w/minimal proof...i think its about time for a mutiny.

  5. so? on Symbian Blasts Google's Phone Initiative · · Score: 1

    To be fair, Apple didn't have much experience in the cellphone market either and look at how the iPhone turned out...Technology is technology folks.

  6. Re:Pretty remarkable on Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed · · Score: 0, Troll

    Two words: sexual harassment.

    Scott: Word around the office if you've got a fat cock.
    Mailroom Employee: Yes, I do..
    Scott: I've got a fat cock too. Maybe we should rub our fat cocks together sometime. Maybe a little oil..two fat cocks..together..oil..

  7. FUD filter anyone? on Redmond's Heavy Guns Go After OpenSocial · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or is anyone else conditioned to just ignore anything Microsoft's cronies have to say about competing products as FUD?

  8. no biggy on Fake Codec is Mac OS X Trojan · · Score: 0, Troll

    Since Mac users are too smug for porn I guess this won't be that bad

  9. Re:Supposed to be easy to use... on The Official Ubuntu Book · · Score: 4, Funny

    So why does it need a book?

    So you have something to do in the restroom?

    Ricky: "I'm gonna need that table.."

  11. Re:Shame... on Leopard Already Hacked To Run On PC Hardware · · Score: 1

    If Apple really wanted to, they could offer OS X for generic PCs along with a list of hardware required for OS X to run as intended with a nice disclaimer stating that if people choose to veer outside of the required hardware list, they are doing so at their own risk. At this point, all warranty/support/etc would be rendered void.

    The real reason why Apple isn't going to do this is because they consider themselves a hardware company, as stated before. And, probably the bigger reason, is they do not want to compete head-on with Microsoft. Not only do they like having Office for OS X, but Apple knows what Microsoft is capable of and wants no part of that.

  12. check sunnyvale on The Khaki Bandit Strikes At IT - 130 Stolen Laptops · · Score: 2, Funny

    This sounds like something Ricky and Julian, er, I mean Cory and Trevor would pull

  16. Re:Why CentOS? on Slashdot's Setup, Part 1- Hardware · · Score: 2, Informative

    CentOS is RHEL, minus the support. CentOS is 100% binary compatible w/RHEL as well, meaning the RPMSs you'd get from RHEL would work just fine in CentOS and vice-versa.

  17. Re:Buy It To Kill It on Microsoft Planning to Buy Open Source Companies? · · Score: 1

    And how does Microsoft plan on closing GPL'd code?

  18. Re:Well.. on Microsoft Planning to Buy Open Source Companies? · · Score: 1

  21. Re:"Governator"? Are we in 6th grade here? on Governator Kills Data Protection Law · · Score: 1

    I think he gets more respect as the 'Governator of California' than the 'Governor of California'

  22. Re:headline makes my head asplode on Linux Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat/Novell · · Score: 1

    This is a suit against distributors and/or the X-org team.

    Wouldn't it be a suit against the window managers that implement this and not the actual X server?

  23. Re:Can we stop hating RedHat now? on Red Hat Vows To Stand Up To Patent Intimidation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a company, I love RedHat. As a distribution, bleh. I've used RHEL and god damn...the up2date business where you have to have each computer registered to access their online package management system is complete bullshit. We've actually migrated to CentOS instead on some of the boxes and couldn't have been happier. Yum kicks the shit out of up2date. Not because it's a better system, but because yum doesn't give a shit who's making the requests, it just services them. We could just install yum in RHEL, but we figured we'd give CentOS a go since it claims to be 100% compatible with RHEL binaries and it's completely free. So far their claims have held up.
