  1. Desperation? on Open Source, Open Standards Under Attack In Europe · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is it me or does Microsoft seem to be getting more and more desperate for control?

  2. Re:Havok on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    precisely what I was thinking, since when did Slashdot become a poor mans digg or reddit?

  7. Re:Expected on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 5, Informative

    I don't agree. Literally anyone who had even a slight clue about her predicament would have been able to load windows on the system. contrary to the article this doesn't void your dell guarantee. This person chose to leave school instead of getting her problem fixed, which, in my opinion is simply an excuse for her mental shortcomings, then again if she were intelligent in the least she could have gotten her internet connection to work in the first place.

  8. id be interested to see a bare metal server deal on VirtualBox 2.1 Supports 64-Bit VM In 32-Bit Host · · Score: 1

    i wonder if it would be able to compete with esx, if so maybe we can escape the huge amount of price gouging by vmware

  9. Re:The Only Reason This Distro Exists on Slackware 12.2 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    wow. are you assuming that every person from a windows backround does not have the mental facilities to actually learn how to use linux as he goes? Slackware actually taught me to use linux instead of its interface. you may aswell be a Mac user.

  10. Re:Great work! on Slackware 12.2 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    i still use Slackware and i still find it superior to any Distro out their.

  11. finger prints arent that unique! on Identifying People By Odor As Effective As Fingerprinting · · Score: 3, Interesting

    the idea that fingerprints are unique is stupid, especially for anyone who is actually in law enforcement or forensics. you need 12 count it TWELVE different points of matching to even get a fingerprint submitted for evidence. so if this odor is just as effective that means its pretty much a scare tactic as much as "we got your fingerprints at the scene!" is

  15. Re:So, beat it out of them! on Video Games Linked To Child Aggression · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In all seriousness the Wussification of the American male has to be discussed, in my youth we would go at it like a mongoose and cobra at the drop of a hat, whenever we felt threatened. The winner walked away proud and the loser walked away bloodied and humiliated but a little wiser for the wear. Now the world of filled with "emo" cry babies who demand attention by shooting up their schools and whatnot. obviously the aggression hole in these kids lives is not being filled. To quote someone famous "testosterone causes homicide." if that is true then we have to work the aggression out of these people before they grow up and become repressed fiends hell bent on vengeful murder. Let them play the damn games. Let them get into fights. Let them fall off their bike. when its all said and done. tell them to walk it off and accept life. I swear to you. if people thought about this before the hijackers took those planes, 9/11 would have never occurred. because i know that if the people on that airplane hadn't been wussified no idiot with a box cutter would have stopped a mob of angry passengers. -TheSov

  17. Re:What is it? on Amazon Beefs Up Its Cloud Ahead of MS Announcement · · Score: 1

    Cloud computing is essentially putting all of your data services on the web to be hosted by the large data warehouse corps (microsoft, google, amazon...etc). essentially it means that if you have access to the internet you have access to your data. so internal failures aren't relevant. It has been in the past however not so great as even google has had issues keeping certain data centers up.

  18. Re:This anti-scientology campaign is well meant on Hacker Admits To Scientology DDoS Attack · · Score: 1, Informative

    Exactly the same way? Seriously, you believe that? It just so happens that Anonymous isn't charging us to help stop the flood of misinformation and life destroying cult beliefs. They do it because they feel they need to. Like some sort of crazed anti communism civic duty(think Joe Mccarthy). So, yes they do mean well on a whole. Sometimes the ends justify the means.

  19. scientology needs a worldwide campaign launched on Hacker Admits To Scientology DDoS Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    against them. Its high time these scammers got whats coming. Its time for a new age of reason! inspiring eh?

    Virtualization is the leading the way on this front. We even virtualize desktops at work mobile units must literally RDP into a vm in order to work, we don't allow information out of our system

  22. we dont....we make BV electric cells out of it on Warning Future Generations About Nuclear Waste · · Score: 1

    Beta Voltaic cells come from radioactive nuclear waste. The waste contains more energy than what we get from a nuclear reactor. To dump it into the ground and ignore it, is a waste of an awesome natural resource. check this out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_battery
