  1. Re:What exactly is the point of an Aibo? on New AIBO - Meet the ERS-7 · · Score: 1

    What about people with allergies to pets, or disabled people who couldn't care for a real animal? You have a very narrow view of the world if you think there isn't a use for such a thing.

    Besides, Aibo is far cheaper than a real dog.

  2. Re:They have windows source code? on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sorry, asswipe, but it ain't the Windows source code unless you can compile Windows from it.

    Most likely the 'source' being given out to different governments isn't the real Windows source at all.

  3. Re: China vs. US on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 0, Troll

    Oh JEEZUS!!!!! Tibet was a protectorate under imperial China for hundreds and hundreds of years.

    Everybody wants to 'save' Tibet, but do you have any idea of the kinds of anal rape that little child 'priests' must undergo? Tibet isn't all smiles and prayer wheels, there's a serious, rape-oriented, pedophillic culture there that's actually quite sickening.

  4. Re:Great on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 1

    It's easy to stop the spam / portscans! Just deny China, Taiwan, and Brazil from your network!

    Shit, I've done this for years. I don't know anyone in China, or Taiwan, and my Brazilian friends all live in the USA.

    Maybe these countries could get their shit together and stop spamming.

  6. Re:And Office Update process is broken. on Microsoft Issues Five New Security Warnings · · Score: 1

    It's obviously to deny any fixes to warez Office. You were colateral damage.

  7. I hope your baby is infertile... on Slashdot Google Bombers? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since you are obviously unfit to breed, one could only hope your filthy seed will be unable to reproduce. Too bad it wasn't born with a hairlip, which would indicate its decidedly inferior genetic crop. Maybe it has at least a weak chin to indicate its lact of breeding.

    Good luck on elementary education, and here's to ruining the one thing that could POSSIBLY lend some sense to the modern internet. I hope your testicles are crushed in a vice...

    Sincerely,

  8. Re:No? on Gates Says Windows Reliability Is Greater · · Score: 1

    Actually it was three weeks before the virus hit, and the MS patching process can fail and never report an error.

  9. Re:'My Grid', and 'Grids Close to Me' on Microsoft Longhorn Delayed · · Score: 1

    They already do play with the big dogs in the server room. That's the funny part!

    There are many organizations using Windows right now in ways that boggle the mind! Geospatial, scientific, embedded, energy, aerospace, storage nets, etc. It's difficult to understand the motivation sometimes, but you can't claim that there's no market for high-performance MS servers.

    I don't really approve, but god dman if it isn't true.

  10. Re:No big deal on Microsoft Longhorn Delayed · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that Intel, everyone's darling AMD, and all the hard drive manufacturers are also in on this one. All of those companies came together to do this, and they are all at blame if it comes to pass. The implications of mandatory hardware-based DRM are pretty fuckin' scary.

  11. Re:Problems with my supercomputer. on Virginia Tech to Build Top 5 Supercomputer? · · Score: 0

    Your problem is that you wussed out and bought the cheap one.

    Of COURSE you need the DP machine! DUH! Are you fucking retarded, or just humorless?

    Next time you should just shoot 'em. We do have pretty leniant self- and property-defense laws here.

    And those are only the ones that cared/figured out/remembered to sign up!

    The answer is

    B. Figured out

    I seriously think filling out a form on the web is beyond the capabilities of 50% of folks here in America. I'm sure other countries' percentages would be higher.

  14. Re:Got shell scripting? on 41 Million Sign Up for National Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 1

    You would need to do it in perl, or maybe C/C++.

    You could do it in Smalltalk. You wouldn't NEED to do it in any language.

  15. Re:It's good that nobody reads them. on New Dell Clickthrough Software License · · Score: 0

    Many states have a shoot first property law. You can blast somebody if they come onto your land or into your house!

  16. It's because they include a tone of malware... on New Dell Clickthrough Software License · · Score: 1

    Dell, HP, Gateway, and many others have been shipping malware / spyware with their machines for AT LEAST two years now. Go ahead and run Ad-aware on any stock, freshly factory-installed big name PC and look out! A Compaq 'Internet PC' from about two or three years ago I recently had the displeasure of troubleshooting lately had 199 spy/malware objects! This was immeadiately after running the System Restore disks or whatever garbage Compaq gave you then...

  17. Re:Frequency on New Low Bandwidth Denial of Service Attacks · · Score: 1

    All you have to do is periodically adjust your shield harmonics to keep the attacker from adapting quickly enough to do any harm.

    This can cause phase array frequency disruption, however, so be sure to manually control the reaction rate inside the warp core...

  18. Re:Humph... seems obvious on Apple Sued Over Rendezvous Trademark · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My question is this: what's wrong with zeroconf? That's the IEEE's name for the same technology.

  19. Re:Congratulations! on FWB Admits RealPC for Mac OS X was Vaporware · · Score: 1

    Only cocoa (or, as I like to call them 'real OS X applications') apps support services. Carbon apps don't, and probably never will.

  20. Re:Congratulations! on FWB Admits RealPC for Mac OS X was Vaporware · · Score: 1

    Not to antagonize here, but Services in OS X is EXACTLY the same as in Nextstep / Openstep. I don't know why you think services needs mode 'support' in OS X, anything you can do in Nextstep with services you can do in OS X.

    I love the services menu. Think of it as the pipe for GUI apps.

  21. Re:Apparently you missed the point of the article on Apple Switches tcsh for bash · · Score: 0

    You can run any shell's scripts from your choice of shell

    That's crazy talk, man. *shakes you* *slap* Get ahold of yourself! You abso-fucking-lutely can NOT run any shell's scripts from your choice of shell. Sometimes your choice of shell is Not Available and you must adapt. Obviously you haven't thought of embedded applications, or legacy hardware that still goes, or anything like that.

    Maybe what you meant was "I can run any /bin/sh shell script that has

    #!/bin/sh

    in the first line"?

  22. Re:Default shell can be changed, I think on Apple Switches tcsh for bash · · Score: 1

    I prefer setting up a restricted shell as a user's default shell, and if they ever even figure out what a shell is and can tell me why they need a real one, I may let 'em have it. This goes for any Unix of course.

  23. Re:Let's get rid of sendmail too on Apple Switches tcsh for bash · · Score: 1

    Besides, as much beef as people have with sendmail, and often rightly so, it's the standard. I know there are many fine other packages, but almost any Unix box Out There has sendmail. It's also hardy enough to handle bitchloads of mail.

    More importantly, though, is that sendmail is the default mta for FreeBSD. As Darwin has always tracked FreeBSD, one might anticipate that they also include many other BSDisms - notably init scrips.

    I'm just pissed, because after going from AIX to Linux and then to FreeBSD and on over to Mac OS X, (and back to FreeBSD when the Powerbook is getting serviced (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)) I lost my old bash .profile that I'd cooked up over long nights. Now they are in a conspiracy to make me lose my .cshrc / .tcshrc scripts too!

    There's a new FPS out called 'Get the fuck back to work before I fire your ass for incompetance!' It's great! First, I buy a little stock in your company.
