  1. Congratz! on NSLU2 Now More Useful · · Score: 1

    Gratz! You are message number 10 million :o)

  2. Re:Pre-IPO getting less shares owners selling less on Google Slashes IPO price · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Right, because a superior product that makes money is nothing to make money off... wait..

  3. And remember... on Latest SP2 News · · Score: 1

    ...the main reason to install SP2 is because you have too much harddrive space, and wish to use some of it. Not because you'll get something you couldn't get it a tenth of the space.

  4. Revenge of Microsoft on XP SP2 Torrent Shows Legal P2P's Promise · · Score: 1

    Which would be why threatened to sue their ass off, so they had to stop.

  5. They should do the Matrix thing.. on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    Commentary on the extras disc?

    They should do what the Wachowski brothers did on the new Matrix box set: The asked three movie critics, who all hated the movies, to do a commentary track on all the films. So they basically just sit there and hack it too pieces - MST3k lives! *g*

  6. Re:I find that insulting on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 1

    And don't tell me that your 'hormones' kick in when you talk to a woman

    Only attractive women.

    so you can't listen to what she says. You're an adult. Get over it.

    Why would we? Especially if she has nothing interesting to say.

  7. Re:Aim a little lower.... on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 1

    You could help out by pointing it out whenever it happens - ("I'm up here!")

    To which of course they only possibly reply is; "Yes thank you. I've seen your face"

  8. Re:Stealth? *ARGGGH* on How Secure is Windows Firewall? · · Score: 1

    But not intelligence to figure out that perhaps english isn't my first langauge, nor that it was irrelevant. You were asked to provide evidence, you couldn't.

    Pity slashdot doesn't have a killfilter.

  9. Re:Stealth? *ARGGGH* on How Secure is Windows Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Not overburdened with intelligence I see.

  10. Re:Stealth? *ARGGGH* on How Secure is Windows Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Good habits form good conditions. Blocking all icmps is BAD practice.


    You have to present some argumentation for that view point if you don't want to be dismissed as a cook.

    Nobody needs to icmp me unless i icmp them first.

  11. Re:Stealth? *ARGGGH* on How Secure is Windows Firewall? · · Score: 1

    In the military, no matter how high your security clearance is, if you don't "need to know" something to carry out the job at hand, then you will not get to know it. If you do need to know it and have a high enough clearance, then you will get to know it. That is a security through obscurity policy that helps to make a nation safer.


    Except where they NEEDED to know, but the people who made the choice weren't good enough to make that determination. In that case you have yet another fuckup.
    If a military satelite communications system uses some hypothetically perfect authentication and encryption, then would there be any good reason to publish to the World the specifications of the control codes?

    Yes, because its more likely that its not just the bad guys who find the holes, but also some good solid citizens.

  12. Mod parent down on How Secure is Windows Firewall? · · Score: 1

    He's full of shit.

    And how does nmap make the determination that an IP number is for a non exsisting machine or for a machine that returns no values, eh?

  13. Re:Zone Alarm? Blech on How Secure is Windows Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Why? (otherwise its just ignorable spam)

  14. Being censored!? on Wired on Defeating the Olympics Censorship · · Score: 1

    Get a grip fuzzboy. That's no censorship!

    Its not being censored: You didn't PAY to watch it! Nobody else paid for you.

    So you don't have a right to watch it.

    (Don't like it? Fight Copyright law)

  15. Because next time... on Life After Doom · · Score: 1, Funny

    ... it will be something like

    * Settings with light!
    * and wide open spaces!
    * and there will be beautiful settings which do not induce vomiting !
    * and several shades of color!
    * and no crates!
    * and no keycards!
    * and you can alt+tab!
    * and no crates!
    * and if you fire at a wall it will actually take damage and break down!
    * and if you find a BFG it will actually remove walls and floor!
    * and no crates! (though possibly a sixpack -where you can shoot holes in it and see the liquid spill out) ... no wait - that would be another company i suppose ;-)

    Is you cat black? If so, we may have bad news for you...

  19. Re:Only 120 solar systems? on Are We Alone in the Universe? · · Score: 1

    But we also have proof it's possible for a Solar System to have planets that can support life. We live in one.

    But is it intelligent life?!

  20. Re:We/they may be better off alone for now on Are We Alone in the Universe? · · Score: 1

    Religion survives scientific discovery, because ultimately it's not based on what is possible to know, but what is possible to feel

    Or rather what some people need, rather than what is

  21. Or another season of Firefly! on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 1

    Hell, anything on TV makes me wish that :-/

  22. Re:I hate to quote a Microsoft VP, but... on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 1

    No, they just need to appoint me exec, i'll fix it ;)

  23. Re:I Think I'm Going to be Ill... on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 1

    Story Arc is to Enterprise what sex appeal is to Margaret Thatcher.

  24. Re:Awesome on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 1

    Because its the way he looks, nothing something which needs to be "fixed".

  25. Re:They should CGI in a more youthful Shatner.... on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 1

    They could - but they probably don't have the budget - don't forget it was slashed it half for this season...
