  1. Re:Consumers will foot the bil for AT&T on AT&T Charged US Taxpayers $16 Million For Nigerian Fraud Calls · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So your solution is to never punish businesses instead?

  2. hucksters. on AT&T Charged US Taxpayers $16 Million For Nigerian Fraud Calls · · Score: 0

    This is about as surprising as water being wet. AT&T is a company run by hucksters.

  3. Re:The best answers to questions on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 1

    The best answer to questions often invalidate the question's assumptions. For instance (while daring hyperbole) "How can I cut down on beating my wife?" is a flawed question because it presumes that a "lesser" quantity of wife beating will make it okay.

    Except his question was nothing like your strawman. And the guy was being a straight up asshole.

    If they really agreed a desktop pager would be in the OS.

    Why? Almost no one would use the feature so there's no point to build it in.

  5. Re:Not a troll, IMHO, just "outside th box" thinki on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No the guy is a roll. The person didn't want to go away from Windows. He was asking which of the options he.listed was better. Captain Aspergers was just bring an asshole.

  6. Re:Linux on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And Amigas had it earlier. Whoop-dee-doo. Other than some bizarre e-peen wagging to make yourself feel better what's the point of your post? No one claimed Macs had virtual desktops first.

  7. Re:cut the wire on DoD Networks Completely Compromised, Experts Say · · Score: 1

    What "recent news"? I've tried Googling this supposed "electric utility hacked" and the only links I get are a 3 year old story and links talking about hypothetical situations. Care to post an actual link to the story you're talking about?

  8. Re:Nouveau on Nvidia's Fermi Architecture Debuts; Nouveau Driver Already Working · · Score: 1

    Nouveau, somehow managing initial mode-setting support with early hardware, from a project that NVIDIA 'officially' does not support.

    Straight from the summary....

  9. Re:Fermi ? on Nvidia's Fermi Architecture Debuts; Nouveau Driver Already Working · · Score: 1, Informative

    The saddest part is the summary correctly mentions that it's Kepler. Timothy once again shows off either his piss poor editing skills or the fact that he's illiterate.

    No.

  11. Re:LOL Link farms... on Google Is Planning To Penalize Overly Optimized Sites · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. eHow will find away around this to boost it's page rank.

  12. Re:Logically Logical Logic on Van Rossum: Python Not Too Slow · · Score: 1

    Plus Python manages most of the memory management for you so you have less chance of memory leaks.

    And so does C++ if you use the language as you are supposed to rather than writing C code and compiling it as C++.

  13. Re:Why is this article 10+ pages on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Less ads on one page rather than 10.

  14. Lame on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That was an incredibly dumb, ad-laden slideshow. How much does Network World pay to get adclicks for these stupid stories? Seriously did they spend anything more than 5 minutes chunking that turd out?

  15. Yes and it's perfectly legal to do so. That is unless you can show me the statute(s) or case law that says otherwise.

  16. Why wouldn't it be enforceable? What statute or case law would invalidate it?

  17. Re:Bahrain exempt under "But they give us oil" cla on New 'Enemies of the Internet' Listed In Reporters Without Borders Study · · Score: 2

    Sarcasm detector broke? He was making a quip about how the western governments turns a blind eye to these country's terrible actions to keep the oil flowing.

  18. Re:How is this news? on Using Graph Theory To Predict NCAA Tournament Outcomes · · Score: 2

    It's not. This is just a puff piece trying to drive hits to their site by mentioning the NCAA tournament.

    Will it come with extra-strength eye bleach?

  20. Re:Cherrypicking sources on GPL, Copyleft On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Just because you have more numbers does not make your sampling more accurate. With good sampling you can have less samples and a smaller error rate. This guy's study has clear sampling bias. It's like saying 95% of Americans disapprove of Obama by only calling registered Republicans.

    They don't think that. You misinterpret what I said.

  22. Re:Why... on Oxygen Found Around Saturn's Moon Dione · · Score: 2

    The article states that some of the other moons might also have oxygen and maybe thus sports some form of life. I assume that's the point behind the statement in the submission summary. Though it is definitely poorly worded.

    You make duplicate copies? Is it really that hard to figure out?

    Or they just happen to disagree with you on what changes are actually beneficial and which are just needless churn so some UI designer has something to do?

  25. Re:Yay? on WindowMaker Development Resumes, Has First Release Since 2006 · · Score: 1

    Then you must not do much of it at all then. Having to remember countless arcane keyboard combinations for things that can be more easily done graphically would be a pain in the ass. Again, you can wank to your keyboard only interfaces all you want if that's how you like to work. Most people don't.
