  1. CopyrightViolationIdea--put up the member jennicam on Announcing Customizable Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Hey Rob, she'll never know. Just have one person subscribe to the member's jennicam, then share the wealth with the rest of the world. Dammit, I need to know what Jenni's doing RIGHT NOW. I MUST KNOW.

  2. Finally an answer to the age-old question... on Help Beat on Our New Server · · Score: 1

    Yes, you CAN slashdot slashdot.

  3. God dammit on Virgina Criminalizes spam, ACLU against it · · Score: 1

    Stop posting links to your earlier message. It's
    really fucking annoying.

  4. Is this email campaign for real? (Fucking censors) on PPC SMP Boxes · · Score: 1

    Okay, I posted this earlier, but the thread I posted it under got a negative score. (Not mine, the "first post"er above mine.) Are we sure this is a real campaign? The last time this sort of thing was posted, some dude got his email account slashdotted.

  5. Because it's the core stuff that matters on Excerpt:Running to the Mountain · · Score: 1

    In much of the media out there, most of the focus is on "paradigms" and such nonsense. None of those touchy-feely things could spring about without specific advancements (an open-source kernel, which GNU took its sweet time in making, allowing Linux to jump ahead; etc). If Jon Katz were struck dead, a million other folks would jump into his place to make shallow, "Dateline"-esqe analyses of technology. Sociology is easy. Seeing a coding project through is hard.

  6. They may have changed their site.... on Yahoo threatens legal action against Yahooka.com · · Score: 1
    OK, like, perhaps I've seen too much web porn for my own good, but the site amazingsex.com seemed pretty tame. Not that I'm trying to call you a prude here, you may well have better taste than I. But they may well have changed the site around. In any event, it's cool that you stood up to them -- it's annoying that the corporations are trying to push around others.

  7. I work for a small company that does on Supreme Court rules algorithms can be patented... · · Score: 1

    We're currently in a patent lawsuit with another company. We have eight employees. Our whole business is with a software program that has a pantented algorithm. (A program I should continue porting instead of reading /.)

  8. Huh? on Faster Encryption Algorithm Found By 16 Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Do you have an example of companies stealing an algorithm by patented already-copyrighted formulae? The only examples of patented algorithms I know of are ones that are kept from public use.

  9. Employers like the BS on Should Geeks Skip College? · · Score: 1

    Regardless of whether you think college is worthwhile, many employers won't give your resume a second look without a BS. If you have 2+ years of truly relevant experience, it's a different story. But it's hard to break into the industry without a bachelor's.
