  1. perfect on OpenOffice.org Is 4 Today · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I just love that double entendre

  2. Did anyone else cry when reading that? on Dear Microsoft Windows ... · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm a little emotional, but seriously, that was sad. :(

  3. I think it's obvious. on Gates, Jobs, Torvalds: Who is Most Important? · · Score: 1

    Jobs. He's the only one with personal vision. Torvalds and Gates were just in the right place in the right time. I think that Microsoft and Linux were BOUND to happen. If it wasn't either of thoes two, it would be others. Jobs on the other hand had vision. He produced the future. Gates and Torvalds just brough the present up to date.

  4. But, more specifically on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Only for XP systems that are upgraded to SP2. They know that there is _no_ way to secure (applications on) older operating systems.

  5. This has been mentioned before. It's still moot. on Accelerating IPv6 Adoption With Proxy Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    The issue with ipv6 adoption is not an issue of servers or clients, it's an issue of routers.

    ISP's need to adopt ipv6.

    Tunnelling won't push adoption, but it might help YOU if you need to work with someone who is using ipv6.

  6. the punchline on Lexar JumpDrive Password Scheme Cracked · · Score: 2, Informative

    [The password] is stored in an XOR encrypted form and can be read directly from the device without any authentication.

    That's not much of a punchline when you realize that XORing something to something unknon (and presumibly unknowable) is unbreakable excryption.

  7. Re:No on Linux-only POWER5 server From IBM · · Score: 1

    But, that doesn't mean that it won't boot g5 darwin.

  8. Re:Not worth the time to read it, summary below... on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And you are welcome to say that. I stand by what I say. Do you have proof that refutes my claim? Why do you think it's a troll? You think one can't find incompatibilities?

  9. Re:Begging to be bought out on SCO Caps Legal Expenses At $31 Million · · Score: 1

    Ahh... the joys of watching scumbag companies dangle in the wind. I almost feel sorry for their shareholders.

    For various values of "almost."
  10. Re:Not worth the time to read it, summary below... on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm sorry, but word just does NOT have 100% word compatibility. Give me ANY two versions of word, and I can generage a doc on one version that doesn't load properly on the other version.

  11. Re:Australian slander laws? on SCO Says 'Linux Doesn't Exist' · · Score: 1

    > This seems like a statement that could put one in jail. Claiming that someone stole from you without proof seems a risky move at best.

    Not if, on the other hand, you are suing them for said claim.

  12. Re:Anyone on slashdot... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry this just doesn't make any sence. You can't claim that someone is a hypocrite based on one idea or action. It takes two conflicting ideas/actions to make hypocracy.

  13. Re:Anyone on slashdot... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    You know how I would act when being DDoS'd? How did you find out? Do you know me?

    What would you have me figure out? Your assumptions about me? I think your assumptions are your responsibility.

  14. Re:Anyone on slashdot... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How is that? Doesn't hypocriticisim require two conflicting ideas?

    If I did agree with or support this, then what would be my conflicting idea or action? (Hint: you don't know)

    What idiot thought that this gibberish was "Insightful"

  15. Re:neat! on SHA-0 Broken, MD5 Rumored Broken · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I can't tell if you are being funny or dumb. If you are making the joke that only the user of that one compromised key cares, then that's actually kind of funny. If you are just saying that nobody cares about crypto, then it's not funny and you are sorely mistaken.

  16. Holy cow on PostgreSQL 8.0 Enters Beta · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Seriously, I love these guys. Good fucking work.

  17. Re:My experience on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    Holy shit, that's about the funiest shit I've read in months.

  18. Re:There is an american flag on the moon. on Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen · · Score: 1

    Sigh, my literary allusion is for not.

    Slashdot is interesting. Because people don't understand my cute, if not obscure, allusion, I get flamed. Hence, my comment is "flamebate".

    It's basically reality by majority. If most people believe something, it must be true.

    Nobody even bothered to mention that there is actually no american flag on the moon. (they took it down before they left)

  19. There is an american flag on the moon. on Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Splendid.

  20. Yea, and? on Gentoo for Mac OS X Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What does this do that fink doesn't already (for the last few years) do?

  21. Re:You sure about no Classic? on Blizzard Releases OS X Starcraft Installer · · Score: 1

    No, I'm not sure. But I did look on the disks that I was given. I could't find it. Also, it was not _installed_ on my brand new pre-set-up harddrive. This was two months ago. And I have heard that apple is going to end-of-life classic sometime in the future, so I just figured that time was now.

  22. Re:the real issue here on Blizzard Releases OS X Starcraft Installer · · Score: 1

    Well, yes, I myself have many system disks from even before version 2. But when I went to install 9.2 that came with an I book, made to be used as a classic environment under 10.1, it wouldn't accept the it. My 10.3 said that it needed a newer version or some such.

  23. Re:the real issue here on Blizzard Releases OS X Starcraft Installer · · Score: 1

    Oh? That's interesting. What hidden directory?

  24. the real issue here on Blizzard Releases OS X Starcraft Installer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    is that apple is no longer shipping classic or even the classic cd's with osx. After the last time I took my ibook in for repair, they replaced my harddrive, giving me 10.3, but without classic. I wasn't able to install starcraft until I downloaded a bootleg (*gasp*) of classic. This release is obviously fixing that problem.

  25. the microsoft shills on Tanenbaum Rebuts Ken Brown · · Score: 1
