  1. Re:Ever done business in China? on China's Research Ambitions Hurt By Faked Results · · Score: 1

    Excellent point! Better than mine, that it's a 'big problem' because they're covering up for some 'little, tiny problem'

  2. Chuck Norris on Fine Print Says Game Store Owns Your Soul · · Score: 1

    ... sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unmatched martial arts abilities. Soon after he round-housed the devil and took his soul back. BAM!

  3. Re:i'm sorry on Porn Virus Blackmails Victims Over "Copyright Violation" · · Score: 1

    Totally! You get what you pay for, and these folks sure got more than they bargained for.

    Now let's make a scheme to charge spammers, threatening to expose them unless they pay $10 and remove you from their lists.

  4. Re:But people getting tasered aren't usually tranq on Testing the Safety of Tasers On Meth-Addled Sheep · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not to sound like a tinfoil hat wearer, but do you think funding of the study by the Taser company and it being done by stockholders in the same company might have something to do with it?

    Taser safety print: "Safe to use on meth-addled bodies*"

    Fine print: "*sheep only"

  5. BAH! on Testing the Safety of Tasers On Meth-Addled Sheep · · Score: 1

    Outrageous! Everyone knows the closest you can get to a meth addict is a SAP developer. Sheep are those ignorant folk who call the PC tower the 'see-pee-joo'.

  6. As a professional barcode scanner programmer, on Girl Claims Price Scanner Gave Her Tourette's Syndrome · · Score: 1

    I can safely say the beam can *not* give you Tourette's. It can, however, cause severe pseudologia fantastica, FFS!

  7. Re:Do this, ground your kids, make them Engineers on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1

    Hehe, good one. I bypassed the keyboard lock by switching the override jumper on the main board.

  8. Re:Torn on Mexico Will Shut Down 25.9 Million Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    They brought this in last year here in South Africa. I consider it a huge invasion of privacy as it has lots of potential for being abused. http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/entry.php?763-RICA-act-is-bullying-beyond-belief

  9. Re:I'll follow them here too. :D on Microsoft's CoApp To Help OSS Development, Deployment · · Score: 1

    I think what you're doing is great! It's a big task though, fixing what your predecessors tried to destroy. Good Luck =)

  10. Re:How Long Before ... on Microsoft's CoApp To Help OSS Development, Deployment · · Score: 1

    Microsoft could be trying to take control of the Windows FOSS culture, which they ironically tried to screw over and kill in the beginning.

  11. There's only two truths here: on Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 1

    - He faked the posts from his mom, to lay charges against her for some revenge act
    - She did post as him and isn't admitting to it publicly yet, understandably

    Oh wait, three truths:
    - He never watched hackers and doesn't know the three most used passwords are: love, sex, god

    CAPTCHA: Password123 - easy to remember, easy to guess

  12. Re:NTP-servers... on Ubuntu Claims 12 Million Users — Before Lucid · · Score: 1

    I always opt-in, it's the FOSS spirit :)

  13. Re:You'll take my sushi ... on Japanese Guts Are Made For Sushi · · Score: 1

    Something about revenge being a dish best served... cold.

  14. Re:yes, but on Decrying the Excessive Emulation of Reality In Games · · Score: 1

    If I had $50M I would pump 30% into the FOSS gaming culture and development, 30% into Linux-based education and growth in 3rd world countries (guess where I live), 30% to various charities. The rest is for living expenses so I can work full-time on those community projects. // Note: The intertubes beg to differ.

  15. Re:yes, but on Decrying the Excessive Emulation of Reality In Games · · Score: 4, Informative

    World of Goo is one such game, elegantly simple and more addictive than sugar candies!

  16. Re:yes, but on Decrying the Excessive Emulation of Reality In Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In that same vein, imagination, ingenuity and creativity builds with practice, and exposing ourselves to those venues of thought. If we don't, we become robotic consumers sucking on whatever 'the market' says is the shit, leaving all the creative niceties to those higher beings. No way, everybody can, and should be creative! Too bad the two most universal human traits are fear, and laziness.

  17. Re:I know why! on Tracking Pedophiles By Their Typing Habits · · Score: 1

    Cue creepy background music and fx *fap fap fap fap* =)

  18. These users on Millions Continue To Click On Spam · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're probably the users who believe that computers run off magic. For any above-absolute-beginner, common sense should kick in naturally.

    This goes to show the level of incompetence, and talking from experience too:

    Me: "Okay you're logged into the system?"
    Cust: "Uh-yes"
    Me: Click on the Reports menu item"
    Cust: (silence) I don't see it.
    Me: "Any errors pop up recently?" ...(proceed a barrage of troubleshooting)...
    Me: "What DO you see?"
    Cust: "Just a white page with an image, that says 'Google'"

  20. Coincidence? on Microsoft Announces Windows 7 SP1 · · Score: 1

    The announcement comes soon after announcing they won't fix a bug in their Virtual PC http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/03/16/1939227/MS-Virtual-PC-Flaw-Defeats-Windows-Defenses

    Smells like someone is pushing the SP release ahead to hide the flaw fix, not owning up to up.

  21. Re:Still can't exploit the host OS on MS Virtual PC Flaw Defeats Windows Defenses · · Score: 1

    Out of interest, I develop on two XP SP3 VPC's, against older systems that do not support XP+. It's a bit worrying, doing production work in these environments.

  22. Re:This gets me every time on MS Virtual PC Flaw Defeats Windows Defenses · · Score: 1

    True that. Renting an OS (yes you don't buy the OS from MS), you hold the owners accountable for bad shit happening. Open source plays less point-the-finger and more help-another.

  23. Re:Credits on MS Virtual PC Flaw Defeats Windows Defenses · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the good work Nicolás :)

  24. Re:Not Super Mario Bros. on Mario Reduced To 8x8 With Open Source and Arduino · · Score: 1

    From a coder's POV this is a great example of input/output processing on Arduino!
