  2. you... on Yahoo Exec Says "Enough DRM" · · Score: 5, Informative

    ...never can have enough DRM. really! see... you can have a mp3 for 0.99 or a value added wma with protection against EVERYTHING. even listening! how great is that?

    i, for one, would prefer the newest single by britney spears in a totally unplayable format.

  3. Re:meh... on .Asia Internet Domain Launched · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the demand for that tld will be too short.

    such two-dimensional thinking mustn't be supported!

    ...first they cut off the xxx-tld and now - now they open up one for special interests? i demand .midget

  5. Who needs... on UK Moves To Allow Human Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 1

    ...human-animal hybrids if he could have sharks with lasers? i, for one, opt for shark-technology hybrids!

  6. Welcome... on Adobe Confirms Unpatched PDF Backdoor · · Score: 0

    ...to the URI-hell. No, this is no problem of MS, XP or IE7. It just affects tons of programs, the OS is - by chance - in every case XP and you need - such a coincidence - IE7. Great. So... just one tiny question: Where's the bugfix, Steve? Ah, non of your bussiness? Sweet.

  7. so... on Microsoft's Ballmer: Google Reads Your Mail · · Score: 3, Informative
    From TFA:

    Microsoft and Google have been gearing up for a major war over software as a service and web-based applications, with Google offering Gmail and Google docs, and Microsoft offering Hotmail, Office and preparing for Windows Live Office.

    it's just the last sentence and it contains every justification of mixing up the verbs "to read" and "to process". reading is something done by humans, not some word-sensitive processing for freaking advertisements. everyone a bit tech-savvy knows about googles somehow strange interpretation of privacy - so: if you don't like it, don't ******* use it.
  8. Re:unbelievable... on Designing Software With Privacy in Mind · · Score: 2, Insightful

    it is simpler to use the pirated copy. actually, it is - you don't have to activate anything, no personal data/information is transmitted or anything else of the downsides of legal copies. but is guess, we're getting near the -1, offtopic moderation ;)

    ...really, really great news. deeply moved i hereby state that this news is total...

    bullshit. c'mon. why is this on the frontpage? i do not mean to offend any takei-fans, but who actually cares that some minor lump of rock now is named after him?!

  12. so... on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 1

    ...if i were a woman, i would have to buy a webcam to play a woman in a game? yeah, sounds... kinda idiotic.

    until now, i didn't even know that slashdot has ads. *pats die little ABP-sign in the topright corner*

  15. much... on Intel Updates vPro Platform and Features · · Score: 1

    ...more interesting than a link to a marketing blurb would be a link to the TPM-specifications. Actually, i do trust a platform - until it's "tpm-enabled".

  16. Re:Bizarro Slashdot on Where To Find Opus On Sunday · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you COULD have followed the link which would EVENTUALLY have led you to the comic. i really do hope you're doin' your job a little bit mor effective. i mean, it's weekend and such, so you really can waste your time doing searches.

    on the other hand this is not really about a comic strip, but about religion and freedom of speech. it's about the climate of fear that's been constructed ever since 9/11. it's about the same as here. (first link i found, didn't want to waste MY time doing searches ;) )

  17. Re:Uhh... on Stretching Crystals Promise Bendy, Full-Color Displays · · Score: 1

    yah, no more horror-movie-sessions in totally darkened rooms. a lil' bit of a atmosphere-killer in that case. but in alsmost every other, it could be what many people waited for - laptops without relfections usable in bright sunlight. and it's energy saving, too. so this really could be the future technology for all laptop displays.

  19. SOLUTION! on Another US Tech Trade Deficit · · Score: 1

    export more weapons. preferably weapons of mass destruction, which then can be found again (by chance, of course) and be a cause for war, which is good for the local industries!

    ...a bit like this? except for open source. hu. now, what should motivate me using the google-tool?

  21. sorry... on Ubuntu Servers Hacked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    administrators, but:

    who the hell places such exposed servers like these on the net without applying security patches and following simple rules? yeah, the freaking old hardware, compab problems, i sure understand that. but then make a fuss 'bout it. threat to stop maintaining the hardware if the networks cards aren't changed. if that REALLY is the only problem with the hardware which prevented updates, then i just don't understand how the hell this could happen. NICs, even though this would be no consumer hardware, aren't that expensive. if my employees servers were hacked because i did not mind telling him that some crappy piece of hardware prevented me from keeping uptodate with security, i would kindly be removed from my desk. period.

  22. Re:What? Why is this on the front page? on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    you surely must have left your sense of humor in bed before leaving for work, eh? ;) i don't think that the news is that there was a blatantly incapable technician at work, it's the marketing-blurb that follows.

    even though this is no ground-breaking news indeed it's much more fun to read than my incoming. put better: i can openly laugh at it without being called an arrogant prick.

  23. hey... on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    ..there was no fire, just a few flames and smoke. technically, this is no fire. you're totally overreacting. it's like you'd say that black clouds and falling waterdrops from above would mean rain, dumbass!
