  1. And yet still on Stealthy Windows Update Raises Serious Concerns · · Score: 1

    Someone has not run a diff with the new files versus the old. Hell I'd be satisfied with a simple "strings".

  2. thats a good one on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    I know its great to blame things on bush, but come on. Russia tests a big bomb and its bush's fault? What they are jealous of his hurricane machine nicknamed "katrina".

  3. Blame the training on Man Arrested for Refusing to Show Drivers License · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Someone on fark posted a good summary of why stuff like this happens. Cops no longer use discretion when dealing with people. They will arrest and charge and let the courts sort it out later. Nevermind that simply being arrested and not charged will appear on your record and any background check. You are then responsible for court costs and attorney fees all to defend yourself against the cop being wrong. So you win in court, big deal. The damage has been done. Nothing will happen to the office who made the mistake. He could shoot you dead and be put on administrative leave WITH pay and still be cleared because you didn't act like the rest of the sheep. I used to feel bad for police but after seeing the corruption and amount of lies they tell first hand my opinion has swayed the other direction.

  4. What about Yahoo? on Three MythTV Linux Distros Compared · · Score: 1

    Can't you just grab listings from tv.yahoo.com ?

  5. Not quite on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 1

    Ever see what goes into producing silicon solar cells?

  6. Re:Lifespan? on Seagate to Offer Solid State Drives in 2008 · · Score: 1

    The same statement can be made for todays mechanical storage devices. Everything mechanical has a finite number of operations until it fails. In theory that number should last longer than the time it takes to make the capacity obsolete.

  7. Oh well its their right on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1

    as a business to refuse service to anyone. Why should I care about how asinine their policy is?

  8. They'll drag it out for years on RIAA Short on Funds? Fails to Pay Attorney Fees · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Knowing they lost the next best thing they can do is delay the payments in court as long as they can.

    Whoever has deeper pockets wins.

  14. Fuck CFLs on Surgeon General Describes Censorship From Bush Administration · · Score: 1

    I can't stand CFL lights. Can someone please provide a link to a CFL with the same color temperature and visible spectrum as an incandescent lamp? They make peoples skin look like its dead and need a full minute to achieve the rated brightness. Hell, vacuum tubes need way less time to heat up. If they do ban incandescent lamps I'm going to invest heavily and stockpile them. Imagine prices a few years after a ban.

  15. Do you live in Pittsburgh? on Dot-Com Work Culture Making a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, what other place in the country sounds that bad?

  16. Civil? on RIAA Uses Local Cops In Oregon Raid · · Score: -1, Troll

    Maybe because its a civil matter and not criminal?

  17. MythTV woes on Screencasts of Installing MythTV Via MythDora 4.0 · · Score: 1

    I tried installing mythtv about a year ago but realized my error in judgement after searching usenet to figure out why mysql was not working. Why should I have to troubleshoot a database app to record fucking tv programs? Spend the money and hack a tivo instead.

  18. Beats the fuck outta me on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Could the slashdot janitors erm I mean "editors" please do their job and maybe link to wikipedia or something that explains feedburner.

  19. They do on Piracy Economics · · Score: 2, Informative

  20. Yawn on Microsoft & SanDisk To Provide Desktop on Thumb Drive · · Score: 1

    Been there, done that. Ever use a Sunray terminal?

  21. Who are these people? on Synchronizing Music Players? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not to sound like Jerry Seinfeld, but who are these people? Who needs music piped into every room of their house available constantly? Who needs an ipod to get through the day at work?

  22. site fubar on 8-Core Dual Xeon "V8" Test Rig Performance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fubar already. Anyone have a coral cache link?

  23. Good Thing on Vonage Admits They Have No Workaround · · Score: 5, Funny

    They sent me an email this morning saying I can save by paying a year in advance. Not a good idea now...

  24. Torrent? on Microsoft Pressures Testers After Software Leak · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone have a torrent of this so called leak?

  25. Nigga Please on Blogger Spurs US Radio Host's Firing · · Score: 1

    How do you even try to compare the actions of one mentally ill individual dragging a person to death behind a truck to WORDS that are uttered in an attempt to make someone seem hip or edgy? I await your reply. Imus calling someone a nappy headed ho is NOT the same as murder, sorry.
