  1. Re:Red Ink, not red tape. on Microsoft Buyout of Ailing Sony Possible · · Score: 1

    That doesn't excuse CN from posting this bullshit rumor.

  2. Re:A few thoughts... on How Bill Gates Works · · Score: 1

    You don't have malware problems, even in Windows, if you know what you're doing. Install antispyware and antivirus, keep at least one firewall between you and the wilderness, don't use IE, and for the love of $DEITY don't install things from dodgy websites. $WIFE follows that regime & hasn't had malware since we started dating years ago. My grandmother has had one malware (and no virus) infection in the last three years of using Internet Explorer on XP, and that only because her antispyware app broke.

    Don't tell me that it's not possible, because it is once you've motivated your users.

  3. Re:AMD Vs Intel: Round 8 on Into the Core - Intel's New Core CPU · · Score: 1

    Meh. I haven't noticed any real difference between the two. Really, the only mainboard failure I remember hitting me was the bad-capacitor problem, which was due to the mobo and capacitor makers cutting corners.

    I don't overclock and make sure to keep my machines reasonably cool. I try to use good power supplies.

  4. Re:A little late to the party, don't you think? on SplunkBase Brings IT Troubleshooting Wiki to the Masses · · Score: 1

    No. That's only for questions about Wikipedia itself.

    That was the other guy's statement; I was merely quoting it.

  6. Re:A little late to the party, don't you think? on SplunkBase Brings IT Troubleshooting Wiki to the Masses · · Score: 4, Insightful
    This covers an area inappropriate for Wikipedia, and Experts Exchange has a yearly fee. Google is nice, but there are some things that are difficult to find on it.

    Move along. There's nothing to see.


    Hardly. This looks promising.
  7. Security risk on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    The more LOCs and functionality one of these has, the more potential for security holes. I'd go out of my way to avoid one of these.

  8. Re:Respectfully disagree... on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 1

    That's too obviously a troll site. Nobody could create such a bad web page by accident.

  9. Re:OMG WTF BBQ on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 1

    People who use "faggot" as an insult are often in denial about their homosexual tendencies.

    Yeah. It's fairly obvious which stories are AF anyway.

  11. Re:This is surprising how? on Pork Barrel Tech Projects On The Rise · · Score: 1

    Don't put words into my mouth. I'd be happy if the lot were hanged tomorrow from a tall tree, but that's unlikely.

  12. Re:This is surprising how? on Pork Barrel Tech Projects On The Rise · · Score: 1

    I've got news for you, chum: pork was just as bad when Democrats were in power. Same shit, different pile.

  13. Re:Most Ungrammatical Summary...Ever? on Hotmail On Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    "Its" is possessive. "It's" is an abbreviation for "it is". It's counter-intuitive, but that's English for you.

  14. Re:Most Ungrammatical Summary...Ever? on Hotmail On Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's necessarily become more common. It's possible that it's just more visible now since almost any schmuck can get on the Internet.

  15. Re:Sent to citymgr@cityoftuttle.org on Slashback: Vista Rewrite, Tuttle Travesty, Mac Botnets · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is a bulbous bouffont you have there.

    Cool! I'm getting well-known enough to get flamed by name. :-)

  17. Re:BSD could beat Linux to the desktop on DesktopBSD 1.0 Final Released · · Score: 1
    I think they could easily get drivers by porting them from Linux


    No. Linux drivers are typically licensed under the GPL, which is incompatible with BSD, so porting will be largely impossible.


    Maybe you should understand what you're talking about before posting. Oh, wait, this is /.

  18. Redundant? on HP Lets User Take Linux for a Virtual Spin · · Score: 1, Troll

    What's with all the -1, Redundant modding? A couple of those were good posts.

  19. Re:The times they.... on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 5, Funny

    I set any comment modded "funny" at -6 in my preferences. That cut down on a lot of the garbage.

    I see a great need: a Bayesian function on this extension to automagically "mod" comments; e.g. anything with the word "Micro$oft" or "M$" modded at -4, free ipod spam at -6, and so on.

  20. Re:Well, why not? on Microsoft's Not So Happy Family · · Score: 1

    Insightful? You want this guy to run Microsoft for *political* reasons. You said yourself he's not the best manager or businessman.
