  1. Python on Rails... instead.. on Ruby on Rails 2.0 is Done · · Score: 0

    I really just prefer Python on Rails as a framework instead of Ruby.
    Here's a nice article I've encountered while searching about this on Google few minutes ago :
    No Rails For Python

  2. Re:infected computers .. on NZ Teen Arrested as 'Spybot Mastermind' · · Score: 0

    It doesn't matter which OS it was (sure it was Windows), but that's not the point, someone can infect you even if you use Linux.
    If you open an attachment on Linux, you can be infected as-well although I'm a Linux fan.

  3. These stories make me cry! on Terabit-Per-Second Class Connections over FTTH · · Score: 0

    When I see my adsl is actually 1.5MegaBit p/s down, 0.256 mbps up for 38$ per month...
    Sad day for me. :(

  4. KISS on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 0

    KISS as in Keep it simple, stupid, not as kiss :)
    That's what Radiohead did, and man, it all comes back to them. They've earned it, and I appreciate them much more then anyone else.

  5. I wouldn't pre-order that! on Where Are the Flying Cars? · · Score: 0

    I think no-one actually pre-ordered those cars, and this man is dreaming!
    Why would someone pre-order those? it's like throwing his bucks away, if it will succeed I'm sure they will be more than happy to sell you those cars, but to pre-order them is insanity.

  6. Not a welcomed step by younger people on Over-50s Invade the Social Networking Scene · · Score: 0

    We do not want their spam in our boxes, hell, I wouldn't even join let's say my uncle as my "friend" in these sites.

    Please do not invade our "privacy" (not really privacy though), and stay outside of our home-sites.

  7. I Think the title is wrong... on One-Third of Employees Violate Company IT Policies · · Score: 1

    The title now is : "One-Third of Employees Violate Company IT Policies"
    I think it should be instead : "Only One-Third of Employees Admitted of Violating Company IT Policies, The Rest Wants to Keep Their Job by Lying to Them-selfs"

  8. Re:I dislike Ubuntu -- You got me all wrong on The Official Ubuntu Book · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I didn't mean that friendliness is bad, but it's too much at Ubuntu.
    I.e, Cd-rom auto mount isn't the best example, but let's say : why do I need to GUI'ly configure my ip?! that is 100% wrong! a Linux user which doesn't know how to use ifconfig shouldn't be using Linux (or atleast he should be able to know how to use the "man" ifconfig, in-order to know what to do)
    Same for the following commands : useradd, su, cd, & [job], fg, bg, kill, killall, man, info, vi (or any other text editor - GUI is acceptable as-well here), ls, ln, tar, chmod, chown, grep, cat, mount, dmesg, more, less, head, tail, cp, rm, ps, pwd, lsmod, lspci, lsof, route, ifconfig, its own pkgtool/rpm/apt/..;
    Yes, that's right, some of those commands are quite more then a newbie at his first day, but man, I expect someone who's coming to linux to atleast know how to use the man command, afterwards, all those are easy, and the upcoming will be challenged by the user.
    A new Ubuntu user which comes to forums and ask questions like "what does -t do in ls command" without even looking for the manual, is what I fear from. An OS should be GUIish, but not to over react with it, a user should know how to disable things running from rc.d (or /etc/init.d), a user should know how to chmod -x stuff, to understand the "/" directory base, and what things belong where.
    Most of the new users which are coming to Ubuntu doesn't know, and doesn't want to learn all the above stuff, and then they flood linux forums with silly questions without looking them up first. So what I'm saying is, if you want more control of your system, without looking for menus all the time, use something else but Ubuntu.

  9. I dislike Ubuntu on The Official Ubuntu Book · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know it sound weird, but I just can't handle Ubuntu, It's so user-friendly it's lame! I mean, why would I want an auto-mount for my cd-rom?!
    If I wanted all that I would have used Windows at first place, I mean, If you're a user which came to Linux to look for alternative, Ubuntu is for you, but if you came to look for something better then Windows, the last thing on earth I would suggest is Ubuntu (I'd suggest Slackware, which is my favorite). That's why also I don't there's a need for Ubuntu handbook, I mean, it's all GUIish (jesus!).

    I hope I will not get -1 flamebait cause that's what I really thing (plus, my karma now is terrible, and I'm doing my best to fix it, don't make me sad :(, that's really my opinion.).
    Happy 10Th Slashdot birthday!

    OMG!

  11. There are good sides of censoring the internet on Italy's First Steps in Censoring the Internet · · Score: 0

    I do not support censoring the internet, but you can look at this problem in a better prospective, such as thinking about the exploited teens that are shown in some site in a pornographic manners, that I support of being censored.

    Also, I support of censoring sites of cults that calls for murders/Nazism, but where's the censorship is wrong? Well, that's a relative question. I.e I do not support censoring cnn.com if the give an interview for Usama Bin-Laden I do think it's wrong but I wouldn't censor it, but there are some countries who would think this interview is wrong and would support censoring it.
    Like in every other thing in our life where's the red line?

  12. Little amount? why do u think its worth 15*10^9 on Three Reasons Microsoft Paid So 'Little' For Facebook · · Score: 0

    Microsoft paid for its part, as if facebook worth 15 Billion DOLLARS!! Do you really think they worth more then that?
    If so, you should wake up from your dreams, and the internet bubble is growing and growing again, it might explode again, be careful.

  13. Prizes are actually a real motive on Space Elevator Teams Compete for NASA Prizes · · Score: 0

    Those kinds of prizes in different kind of things to achieve actually do sometimes make things possible. Unique group of smart people meet in-order to think how to get the prizes money while in the more generic point of view, human achievements are made.
    So I actually support any kinds of money prizes, and I agree to accept money prizes for my /. comments. :)

  14. ActiveX is the worst thing happened to MS on RealPlayer Zero-Day Flaw Under Attack · · Score: 0

    ActiveX is the worst thing happened to MS, so many bugs, so many mistakes, and yet, it allowed by default, and if not, a site can pop up a message to allow it. Simple users click yes immediately when they see a pop-up, no matter what its content.

    If you'll do a test and pop-up a windows-look-alike Pop UP which says : A memory corruption has occurred in 0xdeadbeaf which its dump said "you're a dumbass if you click-yes" and crushed Explorer.exe
    Yes | NO

    95% of the users will click yes, without even reading it, to be honest, that's the reason RealPlayer was even installed at their computers for the first place.

    And those of you who don't agree/know-anything-about-it I invite you to read WiMax

  16. Re:It's a philosophical bug nonetheless.. on Unofficial Patch For Windows URI Hole · · Score: 1

    Then you think it's Firefox's bug?
    I'm still not sure.

  17. It's a philosophical bug nonetheless.. on Unofficial Patch For Windows URI Hole · · Score: 1

    If program A and program B are installed, and while the user uses program A (Internet Explorer) and a specific bug causes that if program B (firefox) is installed and the user is currently using program A, malicious user can cause program A to pass parameters which will not be checked on program B.

    So who is guilty? Program A for allowing to pass those parameters? or Program B which doesn't sanitize input from other programs? I'd say, both.

  18. Over heard moves which shouldn't be published, on Google's Ban of an Anti-MoveOn.org Ad · · Score: 1

    If it wasn't Google whom blocked an Ad, and it was let's say one of those sites : msn.com, yahoo.com, altavista.com, ... . No one would even care. But because it's Google, THE FREEDOM FIGHTER, whom blocked an ad, that's purely a discretion of democracy.
    We shouldn't over-react to moves like that, Like we wouldn't over react to same moves by yahoo or msn. Google has its rights to choose whom to publish or not. That's it!

  19. A tip on how to clean-up your GMail meanwhile! on Google Vows to Increase Gmail Limit · · Score: 1

    A few of you actually ran out of space, but un-till gmail will give you more space, you can delete your old big-sized emails.
    You can search using the Search Box on your top page of your gmail, and do an "advanced" search to only look for attachments so you will see some big-sized emails and delete them to free your gmail account meanwhile!.
    search for the following string : --> "has:attachment" will give you all the emails with attachments.

    I hope it will help you.
