  1. Re:First on Know Any Hardware Needing Better Linux Support? · · Score: 0

    It's more like "My water is too hot."

  2. That's life on New York Taxi Drivers To Strike Over GPS · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sorry, but unless you're driving your cab to an abortion clinic, I don't think your giving up any more privacy than the rest of us.

  3. Re:Worst comparison chart EVER on iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass · · Score: 1

    It might be bad, but at least they left out the total cost of ownership row. There are some things I just don't want to know. ;)

    Kopete does it.

  5. Re:I'd like to say... on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1

    Your wonderful little Digg isn't looking so wonderful now - is it?

    They had their cake and ate it too. What's not wonderful about eating cake?

  7. Re:Not that it matters but ... on Washington State Encourages Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But undocumented immigrants, who don't usually pay income taxes, still have to pay sales taxes.

  8. Re:An award on James Gosling Appointed to the Order of Canada · · Score: 1

    I've never met a good programmer who liked Java.

    That's ok. A lot of people haven't met Josh Bloch.

  9. hackedbychinese on Chinese Hack Attacks on DoD Networks Coordinated · · Score: 0

    I bet the Chinese hackers love seeing that tag on slashdot.

  10. Re:I really doubt it. on Wikipedia On the Brink? Or Crying Wolf? · · Score: 1

    Another reason to use Google, their search results are far better than Wikipedia's.

    YMMV

  12. ala Sony on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 1

    They should just give the users updates, but force a bunch of adware, spyware, and rootkits with them. Basically, force the users to either get a legitimate copy or pursue a different OS. This is much better than having 100 million vulnerable machines on the net. IMHO

  13. Re:Call this version 1.0 on Wikipedia Adds No Follow to Links · · Score: 1

    I don't know if this is the ideal way. They could also vote to omit the tags on a per-link basis.

  14. Re:End link tag please... on Formula For Procrastination Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just look at the page's src code. I'll do it later.

    Dude, you missed Seven of Nine!

  16. Re:Price, Performance and CONTRACT! on Companies Betting on WiMAX · · Score: 1

    Well I do use Azureus with encryption. I even refuse unencrypted connections. I guess clearwire throttles unrecognizable traffic.

  17. Re:Price, Performance and CONTRACT! on Companies Betting on WiMAX · · Score: 1

    I also have been able to resolve this (no pun intended) by /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart, or by power cycling my router. My problem with clearwire is that they throttle p2p networking. I spent four days downloading a knoppix dvd torrent and only got to 47%. I leeched off my neighbors qwest dsl and the complete download took just over 1 hour.

    This is in Tacoma, WA.
