  1. But... on Interview With the Author of "Mastering Cat" · · Score: 4, Funny

    it's not even Caturday yet.

  2. Re:I predict on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And another 5 minutes later there will be instructions on how to send the kill signal to any laptop. Have fun bricking the laptops of anyone you don't like.

  3. Re:Don't use the Vulcan's toilet on Cold War Standoff Over ISS Toilet · · Score: 1

    Star Trek universe does have stuff like that. We just don't see it much because that's not what the Enterprise is for so all we hear are various references to it.

    B5 on the other hand was made just for that kind of political activity. I'm sure the federation has some star base somewhere for that too.

  4. Re:Data - metadata ordering: softupdates on Kernel Hackers On Ext3/4 After 2.6.29 Release · · Score: 1

    FreeBSD has also added a journaling filesystem layer in 7.x - gjournal tho It's not used by default.

    The biggest problem I've had with softupdates is on a multi-hundred gig drive it still takes hours to fsck. Sure it's done in the background, but hours of 100% disk io usage doesn't lead to a very usable server.

  5. Re:cluster? on Microchip Mimics a Brain With 200,000 Neurons · · Score: 1

    Error: Stack overflow.

  6. Re:Why web developers should be dragged out and sh on Site Compatibility and IE8 · · Score: 1

    Because pushing everything into the web is what the PHBs want.

  7. Re:A package tour of another persons computer? on Cybercrime-As-a-Service Takes Off · · Score: 1

    Take only pictures. Leave only footprints.

  8. Dupe....of idle.... on Concentrate Better By Doodling · · Score: 1

    Not only is this a dupe, like so many others on /., but it's a dupe of an article on idle: http://idle.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=3724983

  9. Dupe....of idle.... on Powering Restaurants WIth Deep Fried Fuel · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not only is this a dupe, like so many others on /., but it's a dupe of an article considered so stupid, it was put on idle: http://idle.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=3713481

  10. Re:Depot dumbness on How Office Depot Pushes Service Plans On Customers · · Score: 1

    The cost of a product is the highest price that the largest number of people are willing to pay for it.

    What is costs to manufacture/sell has nothing to do with it beyond is needing to be less than the price above.

  11. english .com gone on Website Does Homework For Kids · · Score: 1

    The domyhomework.com is already squatted.

    There goes my business plan of opening the English language version of it.

  12. Re:Whoa on PDF Vulnerability Now Exploitable With No Clicking · · Score: 1

    Those actions don't run the program. They load a dll provided by the program developer registered by the program's install program in the registry for whatever events they want to provide meta-data for. Most commonly adding items to the right-client item. It is loaded by Explorer so it runs in whatever security context that explorer instance runs in (which I think is the user in this case).

    This isn't really a security hole in windows. This is windows being modular and extendable. The problem is adobe (and many other developers) writing crappy dlls that are insecure and slow (lagging down explorer on every mouse-over or right click). Or adding these extensions to explorer for no good reason.

  13. Withdraw it all. on Bank Error Gives Woman $1.13 billion · · Score: 1

    Quick. Withdraw it all before they notice.

  14. Re:Of course! on Microsoft Sees Linux As Bigger Competitor Than Apple · · Score: 1

    Linux is just a Kernel, there is always Hurd.....Sure it doesn't really work, but if all the Linux developers moved over to it, it would get fixed pretty fast.

  15. Re:How is this a SATA switch? on Build Your Own SATA Hard Drive Switch · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't be a problem.

    http://www.smcelectronics.com/switch.htm Search for SW20. Enough pins there for a pata cable.

  16. Re:Cost? on Google Debunks Maps Atlantis Myth · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. All they need to do is hire media sentry.

  17. Re:This was bound to happen. on Satellites Collide In Orbit · · Score: 1

    It's still funny.

  18. Re:It was the best of times... on Bugs In Microsoft Technical Documentation Rising · · Score: 1

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL generates a STOP 0x0000000A error, not a stop 0x000000D1 error. You insensitive clod.

  19. Re:Spam? on Despite Gates' Prediction, Spam Far From a Thing of the Past · · Score: 1

    Google is clearly behind all of the spam as a method to drive everyone to their mail service.

  20. Re:What I learned from the article on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    > all OSes support the idea of a RAM disk...

    Windows XP can't make one. And the only free third party program I found to do it under XP caused serious stability problems.

    Just because *nix systems can do it well, doesn't mean all OSes can.

  21. Re:Food for thought on Future Astronauts May Survive On Eating Silkworms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Solution to NASA's funding problems.

  22. Re:Does nobody know about RFC1149? on Internet Communications While At Sea? · · Score: 1

    Dropping packets isn't an issue. Just use the QOS extension in RFC 2549.

    Packet droppings sound messy tho.

  23. subject on Another DNS Flaw Found, Patched · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is bad for all those who use DNSSEC. Both of them must be annoyed at the need to their software.

  24. Re:Part of the problem is Ego. on Abused IT Workers Ready To Quit · · Score: 4, Funny

    I know I could skate around and not score any goals too. Seems to work for a lot of them.

  25. Re:What bothers me about OpenID. on OpenID Fan Club Is Shrinking · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter for the majority of people who already use the same password on all sites they use.
