  1. How about earth's natural disasters? on Mysteries Swirl Around Cyclones At Saturn's Poles · · Score: -1, Troll

    Instead of worrying about Saturn's cyclones, how about worrying about earth's cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis?

    Lets reserve the funding for this within our own earth please. On one hand, people talk about making the earth "green" and on the other hand, they blow up useful money into researching how the universe was built, whether Mars has life on it, how cyclones and tsunamis occur on Saturn. Does the scientific community not have its priorities right and consistent?

  2. Merge Debian with Ubuntu on Bugs Delay Release of Debian Lenny · · Score: -1

    Why don't Debian and Ubuntu just merge? It would make a whole lot of things easier.

    Offtrack, isn't Debian == Deb + Ian anyway?

  3. Just don't take it on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 0

    Just don't take it along buddy. :)

  4. Africa != UK on No IPv6 For UK Broadband Users · · Score: 0

    So, Afrinic has moved to IPv6 but the kingdom where the sun always shines (at least at one time) is still stuck on IPv4. Interesting.

  5. Good point on EU Wants Removable Batteries In iPhones · · Score: 0

    EU has a good point, for a change.

    Yeah, when other phones have replaceable batteries, why not for the iPhone?

  6. They are never definite on Obama & McCain Conflicting On Net Neutrality · · Score: 0

    Both of them may talk about each other all the time. But they are never clear on what they *themselves* want to do as president. Both make ambiguous statements.

    Regarding net neutrality, Obama is socialist, so he's talking about net neutrality.

    McCain hasn't even used a computer, so he knows nothing about it.

  7. Just spank 'em on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1, Insightful

    A good old fashioned spanking will set them right.

    No need to worry about this hi-tech gadget rubbish, that too in Ford. :)

  8. Great! on OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide · · Score: 0

    Great! I was waiting for this book to be out. So I can write OpenGL apps for the iPhone.

    Any idea when the iPhone SDK will reflect this update?

  9. Re:aw4jthpa on Encrypted Images Vulnerable To New Attack · · Score: 0

    Oh!! You really mean that? Are you serious???

  10. Solid state drives on e1000e Bug Squashed — Linux Kernel Patch Released · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Does this affect solid state drives too? I just bought an asus eee pc 901.

  11. So easy an old man can do it on Cheaper Car Insurance For Gamers · · Score: 0

    15 minutes will save his life (and that of others as well). So easy an old man can do it. GEICO!

  12. Nigerian Scam results on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 0

    Searching for "Nigerian Scam" returns only 4,110 results. Were there more scammers after the introduction of IPv6?

  13. More Nigerian spam mail because of more computers on Africa Leads In IPv6 Adoption · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dear sirs, I am a prince of a country that's caught in war between using ipv4 and ipv6. If you deposit $100,000 I will promise you returns of 10,000 million IPv6 IP addresses. Please send me your account number, SSN, credit card details and other important detail that will help me facilitate the transaction.

    Yours lovingly,

    His Royal Highness Prince of some Nigerian tribe

  14. IP address tracking on Virginia High Court Wrong About IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    So they think IP addresses are like ID cards and nobody can spoof them... shows the sorry state of affairs and why we get so much spam and nobody is accountable for it and why they can't catch the spammers.

  15. Large Hadron Collider can help us on Do We Live In a Giant Cosmic Bubble? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe the Large Hadron Collider can help us with this. The scientists can try to recreate this as well - after they fix the magnet issues.

  16. I just love Gimp on GIMP 2.6 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just love Gimp. But why does Gimp have to separate the windows like that? Can't it have everything as a multi-document all under one window?

    Oh, and I noticed that images created with Gimp have a smaller size than Adobe Photoshop.

  17. WebServer behind my ear on Web Server On a Business Card · · Score: 1

    Next, they'll implant a webserver chip into my ear under the skin.

    No need to go webhosting with Rackspace. :)

  18. Slashdot violate Apple's NDA on Run Mac OS X On Non-Apple Hardware, With a Dongle · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Slashdot violated Apple's NDA by revealing too much info about Apple, so Slashdot's Apple SDK license will be canceled without further notice.

    Ahem, Apple will not allow the Apple section Slashdot anymore. :-/

  19. Great! on Oracle To Sell Database Hardware · · Score: 1

    Great, now we have a quality product where both software+hardware come from the same source, like Sun's Solaris boxes and Apple's Macs.

  20. Charge her $24 on RIAA Loses $222K Verdict · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If she's charged at the market rate of $0.99 per song, she'll owe the music companies $24.00 plus tax.

    Let her pay it and be done over with.

  21. Slashdot readers spend 80% on Quarter of Workers' Time Online Is Personal · · Score: 1

    Slashdot readers spend 80% to 90% of their Internet time at slashdot.org.

  22. Dual-Core similarity on AMD Employee Charged With Stealing Intel Secrets · · Score: 1

    Ah, thats why we have AMD's X2 and Intel's Dual-Core which are *so* similar.

  23. MySQL + Oracle = MyOracle on Continuent To Bring Open Source DB Replication To the Oracle World · · Score: 1

    Why not create a hybrid of MySQL and Oracle and give it out for a lower price than Oracle? Something that has the best features of both MySQL and Oracle.

    And call it MyOracle [tm].

  24. Anti-Spam Software Writers are from Virginia? on Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 0, Troll

    The only plausible explanation for this ridiculous judgment is maybe that many anti-spam software writers work out of Virginia. The State doesn't want to lose revenue by letting these poor souls go out of business.

  25. Re:Windows Gurus vs Apple Geniuses on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm asking the guy wearing the "Apple" badge questions about MacOS. He doesn't know anything about iWork licensing or about the kernel. All he knows is "these are iMacs and MacBooks". Smart genius indeed!!!
