  1. The state secrets he leaked on Letter Casts Doubt On Yahoo China Testimony · · Score: 3, Informative
    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi_Tao#Arrested_and_ imprisoned

    (the document)asked all news media to not report anything regarding the so-called "June 4th event", Falun Gong or people calling for politico-social change.
    Wow, so that was the leaked state secret. The world had no idea.
  2. phone 2 phone download? on BitTorrent Comes to Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    oops, it is not.

  3. Re:Interesting problem on IPhones Flooding Wireless LAN At Duke · · Score: 1

    but several phones can bring down the network? seems very vulnerable. Is there anything AP can do to just ignore the rogue requests?

  4. Re:300 lbs on MIT Team Designs a New, Sleek, Skintight Spacesuit · · Score: 1

    It's not like the astronauts are going to break dance in outer space anyway.

  5. How much does it cost? on US GPS, EU Galileo to Work Together · · Score: 1

    "It just doesn't make sense to limit yourself to just one system"

    If the one system is free, working, reliable, and most importantly, existing.

  6. why is it so hard? on Opera 9.5 To Fully Support CSS? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    is it a problem of CSS spec if nobody can support it easily?

  7. silly french words on Bill to Bring A La Carte, Indecency Regs to Cable · · Score: 1

    just call it freedom channel.

    people who support micromanagement from government on such level deserve the censorship.

    or let's just illegalize all TV and get over it.

  8. Re:lots of 9's, what does it mean? on Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed · · Score: 1

    it is tens of thousands times more powerful than nuclear reaction though which only release a tiny fraction of rest energy.

  9. lots of 9's, what does it mean? on Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed · · Score: 1

    according to the formula, matter traveling at .99999c appear to be 224 times heavier. and its kinetic energy is 223 times of its "rest energy". a single electron traveling at that speed has the same kinetic energy as a person moving at the speed of one micrometer per second.

  10. that'll be great news on Search for Higgs "God Particle" Gets Interesing · · Score: 1

    the next thing to do is to repeat the experiment and verify the result from an independent source. it will only cost 8 billion dollars.

  11. I can't reproduce the last one on Gaping Holes In Fully Patched IE7, Firefox 2 · · Score: 1
    Windows XP, IE6, FF2

    the first and second ones are pretty scary. the 3rd one is kind of silly to me.

    by the way, this is a test page I wrote, stealing your slashdot cookie by exploiting vulnerability #1: slashdot_hack1.html. once clicked your session will be kicked out because I pwned it. tested under IE6

  12. Re:Efficiency as opposed to thermoelectric? on Turning Heat Into Sound Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    what are you talking about? can you be more specific? you cannot achieve better efficiency than a Carnot engine as long as 2nd law of thermodynamics is not violated. clever designs like Maxwell's demon must be treated with greatest suspicion first.

  13. On the Internet, Somebody Knows You're a Dog on Concerns Over Microsoft's Internet User Profiling · · Score: 1

    Don't bitch about it.

  14. It's a trap! on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    so that's why Gore invented the internet...

  15. As a German once said on Germany Declares Hacking Tools Illegal · · Score: 1

    "First they came for the Ethereal, but I did not use Ethereal, so I said nothing.
    Then they came for the Portscan, but I did not use Portscan, so I did nothing.
    Then came the Firefox, but I can live without a browser.
    And then they came for the Computer, but I was fine with a caculator.
    Then when they came for me, there was no one left who could stand up for me."

  16. No thanks on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 2, Funny

    I cannot work without internet. How am I supposed to check slashdot from time to time?

  17. Don't write comments, don't read comments on How to Keep Your Code From Destroying You · · Score: 1

    if you are a writer, write simple, stupid, clear, short, structured, descriptive, idiomatic codes

    if you are a reader, read the code. if the code is a piece of crap to read, its comments are more likely so.

    if you are a PM/architect or whatever your company calls those useless nannies, please, either your men are too stupid and none of your beautiful processes will change that, or your men are a little bit more intelligent than you and all your crappy cliches are nothing but insults

    the title and the first two points are figuratively speaking, people with common sense will get it.

  18. Re:Err... on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: 1

    if the FPU in your example is advertised as supporting "hundreds of bits", a programmer might be a little cautious before buying it.

  19. why is it so hard to check citizenship? on Congress Debating "No-Work" Database · · Score: 1

    does this mean there is no way to check citizenship of voters during elections?

  20. Re:Bad business practice. on Google Bans Ads For Essay-Writing Services · · Score: 1

    you are wrong. Google is just trying to sweep them out before the release of gEssay(beta) service. Google has been putting the 'search' in the 'research', now it is only the natural next step to do the whole thing for us.

  21. Tabacco ads are banned? on Google Bans Ads For Essay-Writing Services · · Score: 1
    why is that? Yes it has a bad name but it is still legal in almost everywhere. What moral basis does Google base the decision on?

    Sure scientific studies have definitive proof that 2nd hand smoking is going to kill you and rape your corpse. But it's nothing like Global Warming. Google should ban car ads before anything else.

  22. bypassing great firewall? on Unicode Encoding Flaw Widespread · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm wondering if the great firewalls (Cisco product?) are also vulnerable to this. At least it'll force them to do longer string matching.

  23. Damn! on ATI Committed To Fixing Its OSS Problems · · Score: 1

    I wish I saw those complains about ATI 2 weeks ago. I spent days trying to make an ATI 1300 work on a Dell/Ubuntu, finally had to give it up.

  24. man in the middle on IE Devs Criticize Bank Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    the man in the middle can always present fake login page in HTTP, or in HTTPS from a phishing host. if you assume a man in the middle and a careless end user, there is nothing you can do. I have to admit I don't check the address bar every time I log in to my bank account. if you do, you must be a really paranoid person.

  25. Wow on Microsoft Invents Split Screen PC · · Score: 1
    This would be a great idea for Tokyo hotels. I knew India was crowded, but I have no idea it is that crowded.

    Now only if we can develop the technology to physically splice the screen so that each of the two users can move his part of the screen where he likes, it would be the best invention since the sliced bread.
