  1. Re:I've had a Logitech Force feedback for years. on Tangible Display Makes 3D Touchable · · Score: 1

    If you're going to be a pro Slashdotter and not read the article, at least read the headline so that the comments you post actually make *SENSE*.

  2. Re:Mod me offtopic... on Fighting Online Game Cheating in Hardware · · Score: 1

    ... and /b/

  3. Vaults? on Nuke-Proof Bunker Turns Out Not Waterproof · · Score: 1

    I always said Fallout had an accurate prediction of how the world would end...

  4. Re:Sounds interesting, but Anderson Cooper? on YouTube to Host Presidential Debate · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Stephen Colbert would make an interesting host

  5. Re:The ultimate in stupid patents on eBay May Lose 'Buy it Now' Button in Patent Case · · Score: 1

    From the FAQ (http://slashdot.org/faq/tags.shtml):

    Tags are space-separated. Use "bigbrother", not "big brother".

  6. Re:not an outright ban on EU Considering Regulating Sale of Violent Games · · Score: 1

    Why not be more involved in your kid's life rather than pushing the responsibility off onto other people?

    Your arguing point has been utterly destroyed (even on this site) MANY times.

    Also, see http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-6139030-7.html. People have tried, and failed.

  7. Re:Good on EU Considering Regulating Sale of Violent Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is that you, Jack? I didn't know you posted on /.!

  8. Re:Huh? on More Guitar Hero 80s Tracks Announced · · Score: 1

    The intro would be pretty boring aside from the bass guitar, but I suppose it wouldn't be much worse than Carry On Wayward Son was...

  9. Re:Huh? on More Guitar Hero 80s Tracks Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Could they have picked a worse Iron Maiden song?

    Number of the Beast? Wasted Years? THE EVIL THAT MEN DO?

    C'mon, seriously.

  10. Re:You think the apple developers will be up late on Apple Safari On Windows Broken On First Day · · Score: 1

    More like 'Vicodin'

  11. Re:There are better captchas out there... on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 1

    1) Open browser
    2) Press Control + H
    3) Look through last 2 days
    4) ??????????
    5) Profit! (oh, and post here)

  12. I'm going to bet that... on CNBC Software Flaw Worth $1 Million? · · Score: 1

    He didn't go "all in" on Novell stock.

  13. Re:Hmmm on Microsoft, Sony Clash Over Vista Turbo Memory · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding? Some day, all this RDRAM is going to be worth a *fortune*!

  14. Re::S... on Gateway Customer Sues to Get His PC Fixed · · Score: 1

    It's possible to be "legally blind" if you have extremely poor vision in the United States, too.

    That does bring up an interesting possibility though.

  15. Re:great on Anatomy of the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    IBM hosts *many* technical articles on just about everything.

    Most Linux users do not evangelize Linux and would prefer that the unwashed masses stick with Windows.

    What do you mean by titles? More distros? More OSS programs in general?

    The fact that Dell is now shipping a couple of machines with Ubuntu (if the customer chooses) is completely irrelevant.

  16. Re:There's no great client. on Six Multi-Service IM Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    You can use Control-W to close windows.

    Control-W also closes most dialog windows on Windows, GNOME/KDE, etc.

  17. Re:OS? on Assassin's Creed Slated for November Release · · Score: 1

    Have you been living under a rock? It was announced that it would be for PC since E3 last year...

    He wants to know WHICH versions of Windows are supported, e.g. does it use DirectX 10 only? (forcing it to run on Vista only)

  18. Re:How the mighty have fallen... on RIAA Accused of Extortion & Conspiracy · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

  19. Re:Government taking care of people on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    >just shorter of breath and one day closer to death

    Props for Pink Floyd reference

  20. Re:Difficulty on First GH III Video Displays Differences · · Score: 1

    Cowboys from Hell/Bark at the Moon from GH1 is waaaaaaay harder than Hangar 18/Free Bird in GH2.

    Honestly, once you have hammering on/pulling off (and the inherent sweeping) down, GH2 is cake. The only hard song is Psychobilly Freakout.

    Maybe I'm better at GH2 because I play real guitar... ?

  21. Re:Run your system off of CD on A Look at BSD Rootkits · · Score: 1

    ... it can still be rootkitted.

  22. Modules on Optimize PHP and Accelerate Apache · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apache generally ships (on most distros) with TONS of modules enabled... kill off any unneeded modules (come on, how many of you actually use mod_userdir or mod_rewrite?), tweak your MPM settings, and be done with it.

    I also force PHP to run in FastCGI mode, that way I can use suExec with it to prevent exploits in PHP itself from allowing the entire system to be compromised. Apache suid()s itself after handling the request, but the Apache user can generally write to a few good places, therefore I use suExec.

  23. SMS spamming? on Texting Teens Generating OMG Phone Bills · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I know that certain companies like Cingular (now ATT) let you send text messages to people via email... e.g. theirnumber@my.cingular.com or something similar to that.

    Don't most of these companies charge on incoming messages, too? Wouldn't you just be able to spam the crap out of somebody's number to run up their bill?

    In any other industry, I'd expect them to have this base covered... but you never know with the phone industry.

  24. Re:asian aid on Top 15 Free SQL Injection Scanners · · Score: 0

    What next? They'll blame all the dupes on SQL injection, too?

  25. digital fingerprint? on MySpace Begins Rollout of Video Monitoring Tech · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So basically, now they also make a CRC/md5 checksum of the video and store it into the database?

    Genius.

    Considering this should have taken all of 20 minutes to implement site-wide, I don't see why this is really news-worthy! It'd be easily bypassed anyways...
