  1. WTF is going on? on The "Dangers" of Free · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Can you tell me what the f**k has been going on lately with all those "anonymous cowards" posting bogus messages at the top of every story? I think this "post anonymously" checkbox should be removed, and one should always be authenticated to post something on /.

    Anyway, have you ever seen one of those chicken bring anything useful to the conversation?

  2. Re:Autorun? on Microsoft Releases Super-Secure XP to US Air Force · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nope, they removed the _NSAKEY. Or is it _KEY2?

  3. Re:At first... on Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital · · Score: 1

    Didn't mean to make you laugh. Sorry for that.

  4. At first... on Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I read the subject line which looked like "Stephen Hawking Is "Very III" In Hospital". I thought he was "Very 3", and thought it was a new movie, like the sequel of "Very 2"...

  5. I already said that... on MIT Team Creates Shock That Recharges Your Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been saying for 5 years now that we should use all the available energy to power electric cars. Shock absorbers are one step, but combining it with solar cells, small wind generators deployed while coasting, regenerative braking, coupled with supercapacitors and a plug to recharge when necessary, that would be truly innovative.

    I think that this is the way of the future, and MIT did one step.

  6. No more? on Darwinism Must Die So Evolution Can Live · · Score: 1

    So no more Darwin Awards?

  7. This morning... on Stop-Motion Modbook Upgrade Video · · Score: 1

  8. I'd rather... on If Windows 7 Fails, Citrix (Not Linux) Wins · · Score: 0

    I'd rather see Sun Ray win...

  9. Re:from the canada-has-nukes? dept...? on Canadian Nuke Bunker To Be Converted Into Data Fortress · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're right, Canada does not possess any weapons of mass destruction... We're just good friends with our neighbors who possess a shitload of nukes.

    Always good to have a nuclear bunker if your neighbor even has a slight chance to be part of a nuclear conflict.

    Reading the link posted in this comment, I just learned that a secret Canada-US agreement has been signed in my city, Quebec.

  10. Novia Scotia??? on Canadian Nuke Bunker To Be Converted Into Data Fortress · · Score: 1

    "A hosting firm has purchased a nuke-resistant bunker in Novia Scotia..."

    Not supposed to be NOVA Scotia?

  11. Not MS, it's Trend on Experts Say To Switch Browsers In Light of IE Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Informative
    From TFA

    "In this case, hackers found the hole before Microsoft did," said Rick Ferguson, senior security advisor at Trend Micro. "This is never a good thing."

    Then

    Said Mr Ferguson: "If users can find an alternative browser, then that's good mitigation against the threat."

    So NO, it's not Microsoft who recommends switching browsers, they even say

    "I cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw," said John Curran, head of Microsoft UK's Windows group.

    I wanted to clarify it since the story wasn't that clear...

  12. Already said... on Windows 7 To Be 256-Core Aware · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...that 256 MB of memory was enough for anybody... Where do you go today with 256 MB of memory if not running Linux?

  13. Re:p00r Linux on Microsoft Pushes Windows To Battle Linux In Africa · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And so MS is doing just like the gas companies: make the world addict to their product, brignin' the price VERY high, and when everybody is thinking about alternatives, lower the price or, in the case of MS, paying people to use the product.

  14. Re:Tens of billion? on Black Holes May Not Grow Beyond Certain Limit · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Doc Brown!

  15. Tens of billion? on Black Holes May Not Grow Beyond Certain Limit · · Score: 2, Funny

    few tens of billion of solar masses

    Since when "tens of billion" is "few"?

    Well I guess that if I don't want to be caught, I just have to wait 'til it's cloudy to commit a crime...

  22. Re:Duh on Is There a Linux Client Solution for Exchange 2007? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, I did try. But my secretary didn't like the telnet user interface, she preferred IncrediMail.

  23. Google Apps on Is There a Linux Client Solution for Exchange 2007? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The platform-independent Google Apps would greatly do the job! Unlimited user accounts, 7Gb of storage par EMail account, shared calendars, shared contacts and everything. It does almost everything Exchange does, including managing your own domain name's EMail services, plus it's completely FREE! I think you can even use an IMAP client to connect users to their accounts.

    I've been using it for months in my company, and it works great!

  24. That's why! on Scam-Linked ISP Intercage / Atrivo Gets Shut Out · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was thinking to myself "God! My EMail account must be in problem, I didn't receive any spam since the weekend", then I got this really great offer, a guy who is going to give me 20% of 5 million US dollars to help him recover a lost bank account. Well that's perfect, I'm the one who's finally gonna be rich!

  25. Re:Realtime LHC Data on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    Why have I been modded "Flamebait" While I was trying to make a *JOKE*. OK, I guess my *JOKE* was not that good since I needed to explain it... or maybe it was just in my head that it was funny!
