  1. I missed it! on A Fun Slashdot 15th Anniversary Get-Together in St. Petersburg, FL (Video) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, how did I not know this was happening? I'm just south of Orlando and I would have loved to make it. Awell. Maybe for the 20th anniversary.

  2. Re:Just Grep the Kernel on Microsoft Apologizes For Inserting Naughty Phrase Into Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I usually go for the gold, but for some reason I didn't this time. Weird. I encourage my boss to cuss, it's really hard to get him to do it. Yesterday he said "shit", I was thrilled.

  3. Just Grep the Kernel on Microsoft Apologizes For Inserting Naughty Phrase Into Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    If you Grep the Linux kernel for curse words or slurs, you find many. Or at least, you used to. I haven't really checked since 2.6 The Fbomb will give you plenty of results.

  4. Re:chicks and politics on Photographer Threatened With Legal Action After Asserting His Copyright · · Score: 1

    Ha! I just posted and referenced her as bat shit crazy. That's before I read yours. You stole my idea! *Casts DMCA takedown +2*

  5. Streisand Effect on Photographer Threatened With Legal Action After Asserting His Copyright · · Score: 2

    I wonder if this bat shit crazy woman has ever heard of it. Shall we teach her all about it? I'm not a lawyer, but I play one when drunk. It seems to me that her mind numbing dribble ramblings about Jay are the epitome of libel.

  6. And how long will this last? on Microsoft-Funded Startup Aims To Kill BitTorrent Traffic · · Score: 1

    Anyone want to take bets on how long this will last? I'm guessing some teenager will find a way to thwart these guys within a month. Fix your business model or people will keep stealing. If you just keep making locks, more people become locksmiths.

  7. Brilliant! Obfuscation through too much data.

  8. Swype on Proof-of-Concept Android Trojan Uses Motion Sensors To Steal Passwords · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder if it would work on those of us who use a Swype keyboard. Then again, I do tap out my passwords. A thought: If you randomize the keyboard for password entries, that would make it harder to discern from malware like that and the over-the-shoulder attack.

  9. Question: on MC Hammer Launches a Search Engine · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is this legit?

  10. Re:So this is /. related in what way? on Reuters Reports Death of Gaddafi In Libyan City of Sirte · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I was just about to post the same thing. Seriously, If I want world political news, I can go to CNN.

  11. Are you ready for some football? on EU Court Rules Against Exclusive TV Licensing Deal · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that I no longer have to deal with blackouts on local football games?

  12. Re:Article is Wrong - Guy Has Become a Pest on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    In my original submission of this post, I linked to that video. In the beginning it's a little shaky. Still, it looks a lot like a fight to me. I even had my wife watch a small clip of it, knowing nothing of the story. She said that she thought it looked like a fight to her. We shall see what the courts say.

  13. In the same boat on Ask Slashdot: Standard Software Development Environments? · · Score: 0

    I am not a software developer, but I am in a similar environment. I went from a media company that had over 20,000 employees to an insurance company that has 1300. The programming groups are just like your situation. What's frustrating is that the developers will release a change and not even notify us on the application support side.I find out about new versions when my users call me to complain about a bug.

  14. 7.62mm AP on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 0

    A friend and I used to take hard drives out into the woods and use them for target practice. 7.62mm armor piercing rounds turn the platters into metal confetti. AP rounds are a bit expensive, hollow points may do the trick. I used to work as a contractor for the DoE at the Savannah River Site. They used to make weapons grade plutonium there back in the day and currently just make tritium. Needless to say, highly classified data. We would take the hard drives out of the computers and put four holes in them with a drill press.

  15. unreasonable discrimination on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling that we are going to see some legal battles with the carriers over "unreasonable discrimination"

  16. Re:Giant SUV's on DoT Grants $15M To Test Car-To-Car Communication · · Score: -1

    Or ban them. I like that option.

  17. Something Useful on Ask Slashdot: Classroom Eco-Projects Suited To Alaska? · · Score: 0

    Instead of taking jabs at Alaska, let me offer an idea: How about a project on biological energy? Something on the creation and use of biodiesel? You could create the fuel in the classroom with the students and use a small motor to demonstrate the use. The only caveat is that you will have to fly with these liquid materials, some of them flammable. On the same token, you could do an ethanol project. Are either of these projects feasibly suitable to the Alaskan ecosystem? Does it allow for the growth of the vegetation required?

  18. Ok, someone had to say it... on Scott Adams's Political Survey of Economists · · Score: 0

    Soapbox alert!!

  20. Re:justify a paycheck? on Physicists Discover "Doubly Strange" Particle · · Score: 1

    Physicists: Can't live with 'em, can't bomb the enemy to into the stone age without 'em.

  21. Re:Quark on Physicists Discover "Doubly Strange" Particle · · Score: 0

    Do you have any idea what kind of targeted advertising you just spawned? I bet by the end of the day there will be a site dedicated to quark pr0n.

  22. justify a paycheck? on Physicists Discover "Doubly Strange" Particle · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sometimes I think physicists are just making things up. This is one of those times.

  23. Re:Oxymoron on A Chinese Challenge To Intel · · Score: 1

    The CPU was 14 years old until just before the announcement, when the documentation for it suddenly changed to show it's "real" age.

  24. Re:Whew... on A Chinese Challenge To Intel · · Score: 1

    Nobody said it was a threat to AMD because AMD is not worth mentioning.

  25. Ethics FTW on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 1

    I know I wouldn't steal company info if laid off. I guess I've always realizes that I'm in a position of high responsibilty and need to act accordingly. Plus, if I ever got caught doing such a thing, I'd never have that type of position again. Snooping though... Well I do get bored sometimes.
