  1. Nothing beats X-Box's error handling! on Open Source Programmers Stink At Error Handling · · Score: 2

    Greetings,

    Please remove the copy of the LinuxWorld story at
    http://erickrout.com/comparison.html. This is beyond fair use, and is a
    violation of LinuxWorld's copyright.

    Thank you for your attention.

    See my .sig for some funny wallpaper!

  5. Themes.org Has Let Me Down on Slashdot Updates · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Regarding the link in the new Slashdot NavBar -- Themes.org Has Let Me Down -- Yes, they got hacked, and yes, they lost a ton of data, but that was many many months ago. It's ashame that us KDE folks have had to migrate elsewhere, but what else did the Themes.org folks expect. They provided a great service for many years, but were unable to continue it. They've been promising a new site for awhile now (there's actually a beta version up), but it's just been too long of a wait for most of us.

  6. Re:If you think stealing copyrighted songs is evil on Disney's Anti-File Swapping Cartoon · · Score: 1

    Riiiiigggghhhhtttt. Go to that same web site, and listen to the sound clips. I don't care what the fvcking movie script says, it's what we HEAR that counts. And we hear "Good teenagers...take off their clothes". End of story.

  7. If you think stealing copyrighted songs is evil... on Disney's Anti-File Swapping Cartoon · · Score: 1, Informative

    If you think stealing copyrighted songs is evil...you should watch the many infamous porn-related scenes in various Disney classics, such as the "Good teenagers...take off their clothes" line in "Aladdin", and the pen1s-shaped castles in "The Little Mermaid". This isn't a troll or flamebait -- do your research and you'll see.

  8. Re:Check /dev/null on Opposing Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Well, at least I know ONE PERSON gets my joke. It's ashame the majority of moderators probably don't even know what /dev/null, or *nix, is.

  9. Check /dev/null on Opposing Open Source? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Check /dev/null

  10. Whoa, this is getting confusing!!! on FBI Wants to Tap The Net · · Score: 5, Funny

    Whoa, this is getting confusing!!! What happens if an FBI agent uses a Windows machine running some packet-catching/sniffing program to "tap the 'Net"? Wouldn't this be a crime since they'd be using a terrorist-harboring operating system (see last Slashdot article) to search for terrorists? Uggghhh...

  11. Re:Now Everything is Terrorism on Microsoft Calls Viruses "Industrial Terrorism" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your statement mocking the anti-terrorism legislation proposed by the greatest country to ever exist, the United States of America, is terroristic in nature. As I type, officials are currently en-route to your place of residence with the full intention of confiscating your terrorist propaganda, specifically your 1337 Windoze VBScript editor (often referred to as NotePad and compiled as NotePad.exe).

  12. I wonder... on Technology and Society · · Score: 2

    if I can give-back my Engineering degree in Comp. Sci., and my high school degree as well, and move to Maine in hopes of finally getting my own laptop?!!!

  13. Angus? on Technology and Society · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Cool, he must make the world-famous high-quality Angus fine beef that we all have grown to love. I wonder what his take is on episode where "Billy" is introduced to the slaughtering house by the celebrity "Troy McClure" (you may remember him from such films as...).

  14. Re:A better way! on Stopping SpamBots With Apache · · Score: 2

    Why bash the president? Let's fvck bin Laden with:

    worthlessPOS@taliban.gov, ROOTofallevil@taliban.gov, some MAP address

  15. Another way to stop spam on your webserver... on Stopping SpamBots With Apache · · Score: 2, Funny

    is to not install Apache at all. Instead, throw a year or two-old copy of Microsoft IIS and watch the virii propagate. You won't have enough bandwidth or enough minutes of up-time to be able to serve pages with email addresses on them ;-)

  16. One Way... on Stopping SpamBots With Apache · · Score: 3, Funny

    is to give your site a terrible color scheme, like purple & brown. ;-)

  17. Re:Does anyone have an account? on Vulnerability of Telco Switching Equipment · · Score: 2

    You can use "plastic.com" and "plastic.com" if you want. You're welcome ;-)

  18. Re:Cheap Linux box on The Ultimate Linux Box 2001 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but aren't soft-type keyboards easier on the fingers? My right pinky finger's been hurting lately, and I think I'll need to get a super-ergo expensive keyboard.

  19. Re:Cheap Linux box on The Ultimate Linux Box 2001 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd say a recommendation that includes a 20 year old keyboard can't be too pricy! ;-)

  20. I thought *I* had it bad enough... on Esoteric Programming Languages · · Score: 2

    writing Haskell in the HUGS implementation for my programming language design class. Some of these obscure languages look, possibly, even worse!

    I have nothing to hide, though.

    I'm still waiting for my Slashdot ID card!

    But will the sequal to MySQL be as good as the original? ;-)

  24. Hey... on EU May Fine Microsoft · · Score: 1
