  1. Ben Franklin said it best... on What Privacy? UK DNA Database Could Grow Fast · · Score: 1

    "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

    You would think constant surveilance, lack of weapons, and DNA databases should eliminate all crime. Looks like someone was wrong.

  2. really that informative? on FCC And More HDTV Rules · · Score: 1

    Oh come on its really *that* informative?

  3. its open on Contacting Network Admins Of Large Internet Companies? · · Score: 1

    They only appear to block the windows netbios ports 135 138 139 and for some reason 121.

  4. socialism on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1

    Whats wrong with the death penalty? How about I murder your family and spend the rest of my life in a cushy jail watching cable tv and working out in the weight room and using the library?

    If they would think about the individual and not about the 'community' or 'group' it would be better. Why hold the electronics company responsible for the person who dumps a tv along side the road and contaminates the ground water? They should care less what you do with the tv after you buy it.

    One thing that really disturbs me about england is the need for video cameras on every street corner and highway. Do they really need to monitor everyone constantly for illegal activity? If so then there is a deeper underlying social issue.

  5. Re:The end of the Second World War on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1

    Maybe france should have put up a fight instead of surrenderring 10 minutes into the war. Maybe then yahoo wouldn't have to filter nazi war memorabilia because it upsets a few liberals who would like to forget the past.

  6. Al Bundy says on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1

    Only one quote is fitting for this story.

    "It is wrong to be french"

  7. Re:Slashdot's own witchhunt? on Police Arrest Teen for "Obscene" Web Site · · Score: 1

    Someone will have to step forward and call it art. Thats what happens in these obscene art trials, as long as they find one person who calls it art its not obscene.

  8. one step further on Police Arrest Teen for "Obscene" Web Site · · Score: 1

    How about I mirror your social security number, address, credit card numbers, phone numbers, isp passwords and just about everything else. Just remember, information wants to be free (unless its about you).

  9. because.... on Police Arrest Teen for "Obscene" Web Site · · Score: 1

    They want people to post lots of comments and watch those banners fly by. Andover must be scrambling for their defense fund now. Its quite clear that everyone here hates banners, imagine what rob would say if everyone filtered /. banners.

  10. close ;) on Is Sony Turning Its Back On CD-Rs? · · Score: 1

    A HeNe laser tube is 632.8nm and a laser diode is 680nm. Don't ask my why.

  11. its efnet dumbass on Undernet In Serious Trouble: Any Suggestions? (Updated) · · Score: 1

    undernet is quite conservative, not allowing warez or mp3 channels on their network. That keeps out 95% of the script kiddies right there.

  12. let them be on Great Firewall Of China Marches Forward · · Score: 1

    How about worrying about our own problems and let them handle their own? Stop being the internet police. If they chose to set up a country wide firewall then that is their choice and I respect it. Communism and free speech don't go along well.

  13. yeah freedom on Linux Gaming: Looking Back And Looking Forward · · Score: 1

    Yeah I have the freedom to use windows or linux. Whats wrong if I prefer windows? Its all about choice right? Or only the 'correct' choice.

  14. not anymore on GTK+ without X! · · Score: 1

    15 years ago it made sense to run apps on cheap terminals from a central server. You can bet the majority of X users are displaying graphics locally, so why not concentrate on improving performance? Everyone talks of making software modular so make the remote display part a module.

  15. wrong on Astronomers Revel In Former NSA Site · · Score: 1

    Nylon capret is an insulator, yet walking across it creates static electricity. Look up what a faraday cage is. Its designed to shield the building from RF, obviously they had powerful transmitters judging from the generator size.

  16. looks like you missed pre-release on Linux 2.4.0-prerelease is Released · · Score: 1

    Its still a --->*PRE*--- release kernel. Not a stable 2.4.0.

  17. haha clever troll on Wine Gets Direct3D Support · · Score: 1

    I ran warp 2.11/3.0/4.0 fine on all my IDE boxes and even on a 386 with an ESDI drive.

  18. banner hits on E-Bay Patents Thumbnail Galleries · · Score: 1

    Thats what its all about, banner hits. More money in robs pocket.

  19. old trailer on Lord of the Rings and Hype · · Score: 3

    This is the same trailer that was posted earlier this year.

    http://slashdot.org/articles/00/04/07/0757212.sh tm l

    Damn I was hoping for some new scenes.

  20. until on Slashback: HAMnation, Books, Criticism · · Score: 1

    The buffer overflow of the week shows up and you have boxes with a sign saying "0wn m3". What about kernel updates? They better make something that unpacks the source, reads their old config, rebuilds the new one and reboots. Updating windows just requires a few clicks.

  21. um on Dreamcast Ethernet Adapter Released (Nearly) · · Score: 1

    Doesn't that require two nic's?

  22. nintendo on Dreamcast Ethernet Adapter Released (Nearly) · · Score: 1

    The N64 does not come with an RF modulator or associated cable to hook it up. Thats an extra $25 that they fail to mention. Not everyone is hooking their N64 to a brand new 32" tv.

  23. shut up on Pink Slip In Your Genes · · Score: 1

    shut up you little wanker. It looks like you have the stutter gene

    may seem cruel may seem cruel...

  24. wtf? on Non-Traditional Keyboard Reviews · · Score: 1

    wtf does a QWERTY keyboard have to with an operating system?

  25. "living document" on US States Vote 26-0 To Move Towards Taxing Non-State Sales · · Score: 1

    Not when democrats like al gore refer to it as a "living document" meaning they can change/interpret it to whatever they like. It was designed to be able to change, but slowly and not at will.
