  1. Re:People need to read the FAQ... on Going Up? · · Score: 2

    Where did they find a place with no high winds, hurricanes, tornados, or lightning? And, with ocean front property? I think I want to live there.

  2. Re:7 is about right... on Ars Technica Reviews Mozilla · · Score: 1

    I got conxion refused with Mozilla....

  3. Re:GnuGo on NYT Story On Go Programs And AI · · Score: 2

    Yeah, it was real messed up, plus you had to basically score it on your own. Got linkage to the two?

  4. GnuGo on NYT Story On Go Programs And AI · · Score: 2

    Surprised I haven't seen this yet, but there is a GnuGo project. I've played with it a little bit, it's okay in terms of AI, but definitely needs a lot of work. I played a palm adaptation of it, and the scoring was done incorrectly, and if you figured out the quirks of the AI you could beat it everytime.

  5. Re:Why is this so bad? on How The Postman Almost Owned E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Of course, then the government can just type "vi /var/mail/user" to read your mail instead of having to actually open it over steam and then reseal the envelope.

  6. Re:Old Tactic on Sony-Ericsson Starts US$5M Astroturf Campaign · · Score: 2

    If you knew you voted for the wrong candidate, why did you do it?

  7. Re:Old Tactic on Sony-Ericsson Starts US$5M Astroturf Campaign · · Score: 1

    okay, i did a little research, and I guess that's not true. I think I first heard that like 6 years ago too. Hmm

  8. Re:Old Tactic on Sony-Ericsson Starts US$5M Astroturf Campaign · · Score: 2

    On top of that, Tommy Hilfiger pretty much came out and said he was racist on TV.

  9. Re:"It looks like a UFO". on Micro Air Vehicles · · Score: 2

    A lot of them, since "Area 51" is where the US makes all their new aircraft, and experiments with many different kinds of aircraft. I forget the actual name of the airfield.

  10. Re:Mozilla Mail is better? lol on Ars Technica Reviews Mozilla · · Score: 0

    Use PINE, very easy to use, won't spread viruses. It's also very clear about how to do everything.

  11. Re:7 is about right... on Ars Technica Reviews Mozilla · · Score: 2

    Just like nearly every website looks greap in mozilla, except at microsoft.com nothing lines up quite right and looks like CRAP. Coincidence indeed =]

  12. Re:What is amusing is..... on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 2
    They're going to need to have the artists themselves

    Most artists under the RIAA don't own the rights their music anyway. The RIAA or record company owns them. The artists could get DoS'd for downloading their OWN songs.

  13. Re:The media is pathetic on What, Me Worry? · · Score: 2
    The Ottawa Citizen

    I think that answers your question right there, doesn't it? Every story I saw about it clearly stated it was a remote possibility, and most likely would found to not be on any kind of course with Earth at all.

  14. Re:John Stossel... on What, Me Worry? · · Score: 2

    The great thing about the show was he even admitted a few times he had done it himself, or at least, reported something that turned out to be inaccurate in the end I think. At least he has the courage to come forth and admit it. I wish he was on more often, I remember watching his specials in school as well.

  15. this is nothing on Microsoft's Big Stick in Peru · · Score: 2

    Compared to what shell corp has done in Africa, Microsoft selling their product in another country is nothing. They are still in court, and can continue as they wish outside of the US or inside the US until the courts say otherwise.

  16. Re:Applied Cryptography on Best Computer Books For The Smart · · Score: 2

    Ha! Oh well, it's still a good read =]

  17. Re:Applied Cryptography on Best Computer Books For The Smart · · Score: 2

    It is available for download, the full book, in PDF or Postscript, here. Please read the copyright notices and respect them.

  18. Re:Used to be on Microsoft Says IBM/Linux Their Biggest Threat · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Puppy's only live 12 years and age 6/7 times as fast as people. Cancer would be better, eating away at Microsoft in their old days until there is nothing left.

  19. Re:(sigh) Story is a dupe. on Sysadmin Day. Yay. · · Score: 1

    It's not a dup, the original article was to let us know about the upcoming sysadmin day so we could celebrate it if needed. Sort of like "Hey your mom's birthday is Friday, go get her something." The story today is to allow for reports from the day, or other weird stuff.

  20. Re:/home is 98% full !!!!! on Sysadmin Day. Yay. · · Score: 1

    nah, let the sysadmin do it for you, it's their job. For all those sysadmins out there in this situation, the resolution is simple: rm -rf /home

  21. A good sysadmin on Sysadmin Day. Yay. · · Score: 3, Funny

    Only has to work 1 day a year to make sure everything is still working from the year before. =] Of course, if they do their job too well, they'll be considered as not needed, since nobody will notice it.

    The 1 day out of the year they are noticed is the day something beyond their control breaks (hardware failure, etc).

  22. Re:No-one knows what we do... on Sysadmin Day. Yay. · · Score: 2

    Maybe you should find an admin that will do his job?

  23. Re:Pain Beam on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 2

    I read slashdot like I do most newspapers, I read the headline and the first paragraph or first sentence of each paragraph. Good newspaper journalists know that you put all the important info in the first paragraph and first sentence of each paragraph. Many people read newspapers this way when they are strapped for time.

    If they would report more accurately, it'd be easier.

  24. Re:Pain Beam on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I thought causing permanent blindness was considered a war crime, and would get you in very big trouble with some people. I believe it came out of the WWII stuff or something, right? Someone out there must know more about this than I do. =]

  25. Re:Pittsburgh Sucks on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 1

    My roommate registered and didn't go to the one in Indy, want me to beat him up for you?
