  1. Re:How are they going to unveil it? on GPL 3 Launch Date Announced · · Score: 1

    I was kidding, but I'm still curious as to what they're planning to do.

  2. How are they going to unveil it? on GPL 3 Launch Date Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    I mean, it isn't a physical object. Print it out and frame it? Throw copies into the crowd? A reading by Stallman himself (followed by a license signing)?

  3. And it isn't really incorrect, either. on Will AT&T Start Filtering Your Connection? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Misread it as "anti-privacy initiative".

  4. flooded on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    I like how as soon as Safari for Windows was announced, Slashdot was flooded with news stories about it.

  5. Re:Wrong title? on Terabytes of Mars Pictures Released to Public · · Score: 2, Funny

    They probably converted the units so to be better understood: Marsbytes * (510,065,600 km^2 Terran surface)/(144,798,465 km^2 Martian surface) = Terrabytes I mean, what earthling wants to do that in their head while they read the article?

  6. Re:Two down, how many to go? on Microsoft Gives Xandros Users Patent Protection · · Score: 1

    The game is to knock down the commercial Linux vendors, one by one, and establish them all as clients of Microsoft's "intellectual property". You can bet that the pressure on Red Hat to settle is quite intense.
    On the other hand, if there's a good-sized boycott against Linux distros that bow to Microsoft, Red Hat may use the situation to their advantage and brand themselves as the resistance.
  7. Re:Nerds with something to hide on Encrypt and Sign Gmail messages with FireGPG · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anonymous Coward is hoping to make a fortune on Patent #53892647956403765437856348756438756487563, "Method for tucking the flap inside the envelope".

  8. Where are these fingerprints? on Apple Hides Account Info in DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    Has Apple specified how the user info is stored and how it may be extracted/doctored? If not, has anyone reverse-engineered it?

  9. Re:None of them on Best Presidential Candidate for Nerds? · · Score: 1

    That was marked as funny, but he's got a point: who's the lesser of however-many-evils-are-running?

  10. Re:Typical on Dell Ships Ubuntu 7.04 PCs Today · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Windows costs less than free. They have to pay you to take Windows.

  11. Re:Does anyone really care anymore? on Experts Now Say JFK Bullet Analysis Was Wrong · · Score: 1

    Because conspiracy stories appeal to people.

  12. Re:Microsoft shoots itself in the foot again... on Linus Responds To Microsoft Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    They have the brains to remember that they survived, got most of what they wanted, and got the legal stuff settled and out of the public eye. Positive reinforcement, I guess.

  13. Re:Turn it into an image on Own Your Own 128-Bit Integer · · Score: 1
