  1. Most important search term on Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines · · Score: 0

    The most important search term would be "functionality", ie. show me functions which do this or that.
    Without the ability to find the needle, the big hay-stack you have collected will only give you huge bandwidth bills, and give us with very little that cannot be found elsewhere.

  2. Time for Monty Python ... on Singapore Blogger Spared Jail · · Score: 0

    "Never be rude to an Arab,
    An Israeli, or Saudi, or Jew,
    Never be rude to an Irishman,
    No matter what you do.

    Never poke fun at a Nigger,
    A Spik, or a Wop, or a Kraut,
    And never put down...
    (explosion!)"

  3. Dog that didn't bark on Hollywood Buddies up with Bram Cohen · · Score: 0

    The most interesting question is:

    Everyone else (and his brother) involved into P2P has been sued into oblivion by Hollywood, regardless of whether they were willing to cooperate or not.

    So, why is Hollywood treating Cohen differently?

  4. In Soviet America... on FBI Widens Use of National Security Letters · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ... security gets you.

  5. Fact free ad on The Car That Makes Its Own Fuel · · Score: 0, Troll

    TFA is just a commercial filled with hot-air.

  6. Sign of dependence / maturing industry on Insecure Code - Vendors or Developers To Blame? · · Score: 1
    Now that so many people depend on software in daily lives it is natural for them to request better quality and accountability.
    If you are opposed to paying, say $100 for totally insecure software, then you agree with this premise.

    It probably makes most sense for software publisher to assume responsibility. Thus would eliminate the need to license every corporate VB jockey and merely ensure that someone competent reviews the code before release.
    (This is customary in many licensed professions. E.g: House remodeling projects are usually done by an unlicensed architectural designer and then just reviewed and stamped by a licensed architect.)

  7. The Judge - the Ultimate Geek on Slashdot's "Instant" Legal Analysis of the MS Ruling · · Score: 1

    Having read the full ruling and being well versed in programming, law and business, I cannot help recommending all ./s to read the complete ruling carefully. This man seems to know about computers as much as most of us do and he seems to know business better than most MBA's I know. His legal quals obviously need no comment. Use the force, Luke!
