  1. Re:Namecheap is a good registrar on The GoDaddy Saga Continues · · Score: 2

    Well, I'm sold...just transferred my godaddy to namecheap. Ad campaign or not, it worked. Nothing follows..

  2. Re:Games on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Seconded Just installed Windows on another drive at home for the first time in many years just to play BF3 seeing as how the console's version pales in comparison.

  3. Re:VirtualBox on How Long Will Oracle Stick With Open Source? · · Score: 2

    Thirding the VirtualBox subject, even if it's ninjaing the thread. I have enjoyed VirtualBox for a couple of years as my solution for virtualizing my Windows systems. As far as I know there is no better (free) solution exists and would hate to see it go.

  4. Dear Slashdot on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    I want to succeed in life, but I don't want to put in the requisite hard work that others puts in. Thanks

  5. Re:Winning, duh on Chinese Military Admits Existence of Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 2

    True...and we'd never lie about how Patriot Act usurps basic constitutional rights. Ever nation's politics has its gray areas, no denying.

  6. Winning, duh on Chinese Military Admits Existence of Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 1

    China's population - 1.3 Billion, 30 strong commando unit = 0.000002253% of population using real pop. #'s. In America, as a CISSP working security for govt. where there are FAR more of us than that....I must say in the numbers game...we got this one in the bag, for once...just sayin.

  7. Gave it the good old college try on Ubuntu Unity: The Great Divider · · Score: 1

    Tried it, and hated it...but still forced myself to stick with it for a couple of days in the hopes that I would understand why Canonical made this decision. Maybe it was just me and it really was a good UI. I am not happily back in the gnome environment and can safely say that if Unity is the only choice in 11.10, I will be switching distro's after many years of enjoying Ubuntu. Just a damn shame IMO.

  8. Re:privacy laws won't fix a broken privacy model on Ask Slashdot: What Country Has the Best Email Privacy Laws? · · Score: 1

    Exactly right, anyone that has dealt with SMTP and looked into header information realizes the many hops involved through relays just to get a message from one place to another...however instantaneous is may seem at times. To require each relay point to agree on a shared key...or better yet have PKI involved for encrypted data transfer is just ridiculous for overhead. my $.02

  9. Tennesee, another state I won't live in... on Tennessee Bill Helps Teachers Challenge Evolution · · Score: 1

    no loss

  10. Re:I may have been one of the first players on Oregon Trail — How 3 Minnesotans Forged Its Path · · Score: 1

    And I again played Oregon Trail in...had to be '92? obviously not on a MECC. Oh how a game can span generations. Nowadays you are lucky if your original concept receives any praise beyond the sequel. Playing Dead Space 2 ATM and enjoying it as much as the first....but oh how does my 21st century attention wane as I wait for stasis to refill or necromorphs to appea...FWAR GJER Shit!!

  11. Re:Sounds....great?? on Hulu Plus Now Available To All — But Be Warned · · Score: 1

    Insert obligatory Highlander intro theme ...for those that need their fix.

  15. Wi-Fi or 3G remains unclear on Panasonic Invites Gamers To the Jungle · · Score: 1

    Wi-Fi, 3G grrreat but if we're talking keeping up with the Jones' then this thing better be 4G/WiMax compatible in order to compete in a over-saturated handheld market. Just IMO from not RTFA...hope that's enough acronyms ./cringe

  16. Re:one step closer to drive thru degrees on Harvard Ditching Final Exams? · · Score: 1

    "What's the point in teaching a 200 person class?"

    Successfully created meterpreter session with XP test box but not against 7 box despite what TFA says. Anyone experiencing similar results?

    Possibly because the Mac OS is "somewhat Linux like"

    METAL GEAR!!

  20. Privitazation revisited on Obama's Space Plan — a Conservative Argument · · Score: 1
    While privatization in the past has led to corruption , site Enron . NASA has indeed peeked in its performance and space exploration should be delegated to private companies to reignite competition and improve efficiency, I hope a cold war citation is not needed.

  21. Re:First Dune Post on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    Redeemed. Methinks you should have wrote the follow-ups and not his own offspring :S such a disgrace to the series

  22. Re:First Dune Post on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    All the above derived from the abomination that was the 1984 Dune movie and not from the award winning books.

    Well when you put it that way...... nah, nvm I'd still do it.

  24. Re:Love the space program on NASA Satellite Looks For Response From Dead Mars Craft · · Score: 1

    As a side note, the HMMWV's we used in Iraq were refurbs from '85. But agreed, I wish the military had half the efficiency of NASA and received half the budget.

  25. Re:Frickin on Airborne Boeing Laser Blasts Ground Target · · Score: 1

    That stopped being funny about three years ago.

    But insulting strangers via a forum is in. Call me old school I guess.
