  1. Not justified? on Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How about all those UN resolutions and the 11 years when nothing was done? The real reason wasn't just to get saddam, it has changed the middle east. Look at Qadaffi now (how many of you are old enough to remember him?) Hes abandoned all nuke programs and invited us in. It made the rest of those hostile countries shit a brick.

    Oh and while we're on the subject of the middle east, ask Arafat how he acquired all those billions of dollars in aid money? He pockets the money meant for his people and blames everyone else for his country's problems. Same goes for the rest of them. A few kings living in gold palaces while the rest of the people live in shacks in the desert. Mod this flamebait, I know you liberal pussies will.

  2. M$? on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: 1

    Oh like theres never been a buffer overflow problem in linux... Talk about a cheapshot.

  3. bullshit on Bill Gates Forecasts Victory Over Spam · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How about every redhat install up to about 6.0 that had every service running and smtp relaying enabled by default? Don't even get me started with solaris boxes...

  4. Not for me on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    $50 for a fucking light bulb? You gotta be shitting me. Thats over a 50 year supply of incandesent lighting. The masses will wake up when light bulbs don't cost $50.

  5. explain on US Treasury to Post Previously Private Email Addresses Online · · Score: 1

    How is this limiting speech? I thought information wanted to be free? Oh wait thats unless its about you. Please explain how Bush is limiting my freedom of speech. Don't just say patriot act blah blah, give me specifics and details.

  6. its not perfect on Earth Travel On Time, Again · · Score: 3, Informative

    but they know the error rate and its extremely low. They measure the particle count of cesium or some other radioactive material and the official time is an average of all atomic clocks.

  7. people will sue on E-Voting Firm VoteHere Discloses October Break-In · · Score: 1

    Because someone who can't read or doesn't have arms will sue them under the national disability law. Now you can sue anyone for almost anything and win.

  8. me on Tom's Hardware End of Year CPU Roundup · · Score: 1

    Got a p4 1.6ghz running stable at 2.1ghz. Spent $40 on a good heatsink even though the intel stock HS is pretty hefty. It runs fine at 2.2ghz but by then the pci bus goes out of spec past 66mhz.

  9. wtf on Laptop vs. Small Desktop: Best Bang Per Watt? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    are you going to do out in the middle of nowhere with a laptop? Leave the fucking computer at home and spend time actually being outdoors hiking or fishing. Read a book, spend time with your man or woman, anything but a computer.

  10. Re:Obvious enough on Savannah Back Online With Extra Security · · Score: -1, Troll

    But I thought linux was unrootable...

  11. Won't happen on Strained Silicon Chips From Intel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anything P4 and later has the built in temp sensor that slows down the cpu if it overheats. If your cpu is getting so hot that its melting silicon then you have bigger problems to deal with. The tomshardware video still gives me a chuckle when the AMD chip goes *poof* and smokes without a heatsink. Trying to save a few cents I suppose.

  12. Re:Stage 1 is -40C on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 1

    -40C = -40F

    Its where the two scales meet.

  13. read the article on If Microsoft Built Cars... · · Score: 1

    the first paragraph in the article about people being trapped says it happened because of an electrical fault, not a system crash. Just more banner hits for OSDN i suppose...

  14. land area and population density on South Korea Plans National 100 Mbps Network · · Score: 1

    think about those two factors for a while...

  15. Re:Super Capacitors? on Batteries Continue To Suck · · Score: 1

    The only thing they are good for is keeping time in your vcr for a while when the power goes out. They can't supply any real current.

  16. Big deal on New Graphics Company, With Working Cards · · Score: 1

    Slashdot (the biggest anti MS site) runs banners for MSDN subscriptions. Whats your point?

  17. Re:Prison-rape researcher on The Worst Jobs in Science · · Score: 1

    The funny part about Ontario is seeing a mikes hard lemondae billboard next to an add to stop drunk driving. Canadians love their beer and donuts, how far can you drive before seeing a Tim Hortons or LCBO?

  18. And then... on Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight · · Score: 5, Funny

    they proceeded to eat the dog.

  19. its not illegal on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 1

    Oh how the world would be a better place if frivilous lawsuits were illegal.

  20. PDP-11/23 on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    Still works great and boots RT-11.

  21. Steal one on Using an Old Satellite Dish as a WLAN Antenna · · Score: 4, Funny

    A few years ago I saw one still attached to a pole near an old trailer foundation along the highway. A few minutes of working it loose and we threw it in the trunk. I had plans to buy a receiver on ebay and get C and Ku band channels but never followed through.

  22. trickle down on The Unstoppable Shift of IT Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    No the price is reflected upon the customer when you pay someone $60k vs $10k. Sure you could hire a workforce in this country but it simply costs more and so would your product. Everyone wants things as cheap as possible these days so companies find ways to make the product cheaper (paying less employee salary). Thats why you can buy a dell p4 system box for $400 today.

  23. Not at Kinko's on Pew Study: File Traders Don't Care About Copyright · · Score: 1

    I tried to make a copy of a small booklet that belonged to an art museum. They refused because it was copyrighted work. Now OfficeMax had no issues and even bound it for me.

  24. maybe on DVD Player With DVI Output · · Score: 2, Insightful

    because I want to watch movies on a 35" tv and not a 17" LCD thats comparable in price to a 93 honda civic.

  25. faster better cheaper? on Bad Testing Doomed NASA's Hypersonic X-43A · · Score: 1

    What you mean linux clusters? Google finds it cheaper to replace an entire node instead of taking the time to troubleshoot. Its a throw away society now. Everyone wants things fast and cheap, unfortunately quality doesn't fit with those options.
