  7. Zap it! on Satellites Collide In Orbit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just use that big 747 we have with the giant laser mounted in it to start zapping the debris. I'm sure they need the target practice. Start by going after the 50 most annoying bits of junk.

    do something! its trolling articles, by sock puppets.

    Limit post from identical ip's by 1 minute? It wouldn't help from company ip's, but do something.

  12. slashdot? on Edit-Approval System Proposed For English-Language Wikipedia · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about a Slashdot system that stops the one guy with 20 accounts from making 4 opening comments on each article then modding them all to "5", that happens with EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE here on /.

  13. its not hard on Downadup Worm — When Will the Next Shoe Drop? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Use a hardware router, use a real anti-virus program that actually publishes updates everyday (Nod32 for me), and use a browser where you can kill anything that tries to auto install itself (firefox, chrome, etc).

    And don't forward or respond to chain emails!

  14. The Rosetta Stone method... on Long-Term PC Preservation Project? · · Score: 1

    It worked for them then, why not now? Deciphering the Egyptian language was because someone took the time to write the same story in hieroglyphic, Demotic. and Greek.

    So, do the best that you can do to preserve the pc (clean it and vacuum seal it at a packing plant?), pack as many spare parts as you can (cables, drives, etc), image the drive to other drives (As spares) and seal them, Image the drive to a few DVD's,

    Lastly, find a way to just dump the contents of the drive into pure binary code and print it out.

  20. safe mode on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Run for a while in safe mode and see if the problem persist. If it doesn't, then its probably a service gone haywire. Most likely candidates are printer services, anti virus services, scanner services.
