Anyone notice that the article leads with an interview with a man named Mr Batty? And he thinks he needs to invent characters with other names to sound amusing?
You're right, but I have little sympathy for them - it's not the world's greatest firewall, but it does have a modest degree of configurability. You can add and delete services. And anyway, even if it's not good enough (and I don't believe that for that vast majority) there are perfectly good free (as in no money) alternatives.
If someone turns it off, well bloody good luck to them - bit like the driver who refuses to wear his seatbelt since it "gets in the way". Well, when he launches himself through the windscreen at high speed, should I _really_ feel that sorry?!!!
Yup! I know it is fun to bash MS (and generally easy) but XP has a quite decent firewall built-in, if only people would turn the damn thing on!!
I think that it would be sensible to have it enabled by default, but obviously Microsoft think otherwise. And yer-average punter won't even know what it is, let alone enable it. Shame, 'cos it works OK.
Here we have the typical, well-meaning but actually very ignorant, stereotype of Indians living in abject poverty, with no food...
Get informed: India is a huge country with a vast population. They cover the spectrum: sure, there are PLENTY of very poor Indians, but there are also loads of well-educated, well-paid, (by local standards) dare-one-say "happy" Indians.
Please don't make generalisations, particularly when they are wrong...!
Both ba@cyberangels and ripe-contact@cyberangels recieved some spam:
1. Mr. RASHEED BELLO sent ba@ six Nigerian scams;
2. @yahoo.com.cn spammed four times with something rather illegible;
3. Mr. Ken Titoh was hoping to assist Mr. ERASHEED BELLO;
4. Somebody believed that a Cyberangels' dick was too small
Well given the human race's ingenuity, if in the next 800 hundred years or so we haven't worked out a way to prevent this, we probably deserve extinction for being idle.
Maybe we could all spend a little less on improving ways to kill each other, and a little more on planning our survival?
8% music? So for 8% of the film, the screen must go blank and play tunes only? Or can we have music during, say, the action as well? Or comedy during the sex...? Or...? Or is this formula just a load of tosh?

Nah, that's +1 Flamebait if ever I saw it ;-)
Impossible. That would suggest that /. members were trying to read an article before posting a well-informed comment.
Surely not... (looks out of windows to check for low-flying pork)
Good god man, don't know what a wireless link calculation is? It a calculation of the, er, link's, um, wirelessabilityness coefficient thingy wotsit.
This may be a lame joke, but it's NOT Offtopic, idiot moderator.
Love this part of the analysis:

digital expletives
[snort] Excellent!! "..and I mono-digitally expressed an expletive at the other driver..."
In the past, successive UK Conservative (big-C) governments complained about anti-government bias from the BBC.
The present Labour govenment has also whined about the very same thing.
That suggests, to me, that the BCC is doing things about right, with repect to domestic news coverage.

There is a scene where Neo intentionally places his hand inside of Trinity to help her.
Wayhay!!! Sounds more and more like my kind of movie...

In the context of this story I think we'd all prefer that the word "leaked" was left unused.
grapsed? I'm a Slashdot editor already!
Itanium 2 chops?... ?
Methinks dear Timothy hasn't really grapsed what "editing" really means.
When it fell off, that insulation WAS part of the craft.
from the picking-up-the-pieces dept.
Michael, you are either (a) thoughtless or (b) have one sick sense of humour. Or both.
"there has been no show-stopping problems which have been discovered during the investigation."
Well no, other than the strong suspicion that a chunk of the craft can fall off during lift-off and fatally damage the vehicle...
Yeah, "depleted" is what happens to the local population in the years that follow...
Untold riches from Nigeria? You too? Sheeesh...
Waiter! There's a bug in my bug! (For those keen on recursion...)
Fair point, but I thought it was more along the lines of having to share copyright with Sun, rather than handing it over and in some way losing it?
