  1. news coverage on New Jersey E-Voting Problems Worse Than Originally Suspected · · Score: 0

    Are e-voting news and problems covered in US print media? Is there some form of discussion or is it just too technical?

  2. My drives work great ... on Disk Failure Rates More Myth Than Metric · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My drives work great ... until someone comes along and puts stickers on other drives that say they are more "ready" than my drives.

  3. Choose April joke on OOXML Rumored to be Approved, Announcement Wednesday · · Score: 1

    Can we please all agree that this is the April fool so that this never happened.

    At least until tomorrow ?

  4. /.ed on Freenet Version 0.7 Release Candidate 1 Available · · Score: 2, Funny

    They yet have to invent a net that survives the slashdot effect...

  5. Re:Legal? on Open Source Business Model Using Software Patents · · Score: 1

    You can choose the license every time you give the product to someone. You don't have to distribute to the whole world, you also don't have to distribute at all.

    When you charge the second party, you give them more rights to your product (i.e., they do not have to open-source products based on it).

  6. tl;dv on Open Source Business Model Using Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Summary please :-)

  7. General Linux on Last Year's CanSecWest Winner Repeats on Vista, Ubuntu Wins · · Score: 1

    Is there anything Ubuntu-specific about the results or can this be extrapolated to other distris?

  8. Big news on Huge Interest Brings Wikileaks Offline · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wikileaks is offline ... let's all go there to see if it is really offline :-|

  9. Re:I don't get it on MacBook Air First To Be Compromised In Hacking Contest · · Score: 1

    And if there were known or open vulnerabilities, it should have fallen in what, 30 seconds?
    Not really, you can't just reuse known vulnerabilities. The rules are a good read: http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/blog/2008/03/19/cansecwest-pwn-to-own-2008

    To claim a laptop as your own, you will need to read the contents of a designated file on each system through exploitation of a 0day code execution vulnerability (ie: no directory traversal style bugs).

  10. Apple crackers are more active in the evening on Microsoft or Apple - Who Is the Faster Patcher? · · Score: 1

    ...were able to have a patch available on the day a vulnerability became publicly known... It's solely because Apple crackers are more active in the evening!

    MS-script-kiddies have nothing to do the whole day...
  11. Gentoo Gnome 2.20 review on GNOME 2.20 Released · · Score: 1

    There are some interesting points about the 2.20 release at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-584813-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html
