  1. Obvious or questionable? on Akamai Wins Lawsuit to Protect Obvious Patent · · Score: -1

    Is the news about defending an obvious or questionable patent? I bet the later one.

  2. In the same ruling... on Court Finds Spamming Not Protected By Constitution · · Score: -1

    In the same ruling the court decided that the anonymous posting initial score shall be lowered from 0 to -1.

  3. Puppy on Key Step In Programmed Cell Death Discovered · · Score: -1

    Should I start shopping for a german shephard puppy?

  4. One of this products on Microsoft Cuts Vista Price In 70 Countries · · Score: -1, Troll

    Vista is one of these products that one is better without that with it. No matter how much it costs. Any other OS is better than it. Even XP is better but I am afraid that not for long as the SP3 is about to be released.

  5. Weakest link on Researchers Expose New Credit Card Fraud Risk · · Score: 0

    Giving your credit card to a clerk that earns a minimum wage is most likely more risky.

  6. Conspiracy theories on Mac OS X Secretly Cripples Non-Apple Software · · Score: -1

    The author is probably right and Apple is hiding something. In my case though I've discover one conspiracy a week since I do not know when. These theories usually holds until I realize that I was doing something wrong.

  7. Do superstars work well together? on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: -1

    Nontrivial software project usually require some kind of a team effort. And I do not mean 'Give me a T' type of a team but a group of people that are willing to cooperate. I do not understand why you look for large quantity of them unless you have lots of independent projects. Anyway as other mentioned most likely you will not find excellent people through places like Monster. You have to try to poach them from others. I do not know if that has been mentioned but conferences are good place to discreetly look for people. You do not have to even reveal your intentions.

  8. Re:Didn't realise this was debated on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: -1

    A good debate is like wine; the older the better.

  9. Safety on Is Cash No Longer Legal Tender? · · Score: -1

    Holding large amount of cash maybe considered unsafe, especially in places not designed to do that like rental offices.

  10. Another revenue source on Ancestry.com To Add DNA Test Results · · Score: 0, Funny

    > For less than $200 and a cheek-swiped cotton swab, you will soon be able to add DNA results to family tree Web sites.
    And for an additional fee of $10,000 you will get a proof that your political opponent is a bastard

  11. Re:My grandmother doesn't care about such bullshit on RIAA Web Site Moved To Linux · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    And vice versa, I think your post is stupid. Moderation is wrong especially in such an obstructive fashion. I do not care if I can enable -1 posting, still I can see the scores assign by biased moderators. BTW that was just an example. In more controversial discussions it is abused big time.

    Are by any chance a manager? Do you read Dilbert?

  13. Re:My grandmother doesn't care about such bullshit on RIAA Web Site Moved To Linux · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    >>get a live and play WoW 365x24 straight w/o going to the toilet.

    >As that is ungrammatical, I assume you mean get a life, in which case you are obviously using some new meaning of that expression that I haven't previously encountered.

    This opinion was moderated twice, once as flamebait and second time as troll rendering it invisible to most readers. If this is not censorship I do not know what is and I do not care what is written about this in the FAQ.
    The system lets anonymous moderators affect what others read. I wonder who monitors them and if their scores are scored?
    Get rid of it.

  15. Re:They're Not There to Win on Apple Picking a Fight it Can't Win With Safari · · Score: 0

    LOL, that opinion is moderated -1 twice? Protectors of Apple's honor hard at work.

  16. Re:They're Not There to Win on Apple Picking a Fight it Can't Win With Safari · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Pyite, the spellchecker ate you a '.' in front of '5%'

  17. Re:Umm, RTFA? on Congress Considers Forcing Travel Registration · · Score: 0

    We have to defend ourselves from not only foreigners but also alians! Aliens! (These legal and illigal)

    These 10 downloads that is me. Sorry, I got really bored.

  19. Re:Scoring system not working on Sony Looks to 'Refine' PS3 Price · · Score: 0

    I would like to judge if something is funny, troll or stupid for myself and I do not care for other people opinions. I just ask for an option not to see them, that's it.

  20. Scoring system not working on Sony Looks to 'Refine' PS3 Price · · Score: 0

    The scoring system in /. is not working. It does not do what it was supposed to do, meaning promote interesting opinions. The system as is can easily be highjack and this is what happened in this case. The two posting is moderated funny (5) the second troll (1) where the first is not really funny the other is not a troll. Of course what is funny and what is a troll is a matter of opinion and I agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion. What I propose is a user selectable option to disable displaying of the scores. And I mean completely, no points and no categories. This way one could read the discussion without being influenced by others. In other words: facts not commentaries.

  21. Brilliant programmers or bad QA department on Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed · · Score: 0

    If you can fix bugs in an application like WEB browser in one day means that Apple has brilliant programmers. Kudos to them. Or it could mean that QA fails to find trivial bugs.

  22. Better controller on PlayStation Blog Entries Define Sony Battle Plan · · Score: 0

    Apart of winning back alienated gamers, PS3 needs a better controller as well, at least with the PS2 features. Unfortunately, it might be too late for that.

  23. Petition Microsoft and Sony on Sony Threatens PS3 Hackers With Legal Action · · Score: 0

    One of the reasons Microsoft and Sony tries to prevent piracy is that they try to recover losses from game system sells by charging more for the games. Maybe one can soften their stand by petitioning them to sell their consoles with a nice profit. That business model works for Nintendo. Third party game developers don't like it that much but who cares. Homebrew would replace their games in no time.

  24. Panem et circenses on Sony Threatens PS3 Hackers With Legal Action · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It seems, only free PS3s and games will keep /. crowd happy.

  25. Spectacular on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Apple has just committed a suicide. Everybody will have a chance to install Safari on their PCs and realize that it is not any better than everything else out there thus destroying the hype. That applies to those thinking about switching to MacOS as well.
