  1. Whores on Linux in 2004? · · Score: 1

    Other governments are whores to the idea of womb-to-tomb socialized health care, medicine and social welfare. Which is worse?

  2. Actually, they are on Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks · · Score: 1

    http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/77/walmart.htm l

    It's not the "Mom and Pop" store thats getting hosed - they can never compete with the Walmarts OR CompUSA's on price.

    Since most Americans no longer believe in causality (thank you Mr. Kant and Mr. Hume), feel free to simply ignore this.

  3. CONNOR MacLeod on Red Sea Urchins Nearly Immortal · · Score: 1

    Geesh, its Connor MacLeod, the one who beat the Kurgan and won the Prize, not some lame-ass made-for-TV guy. How old are you, 12?

  4. Money For Nothing? on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Lets examine the service that Yahoo provides, to users who take full advantage of it (dons tinfoil hat).
    For free, you get:
    • 6 MB webmail, with antispam
    • customizable home page with your news about your personal intrests pulled together and grouped by category
    • weather & stock info
    • access to "groups" which are like Usenet, but not really
    • a maps/driving directions page that remembers all 'your' locations

    All of this for 0 USD a month, and now they're suggesting that they may "clear" your nospam preferences, unless you turn it back on again.

    How is this evil? I've had a Yahoo profile since 1997, its been invaluable. Heck, I feel guilty not paying them a dime!
  5. Re:Blocking inbound/outbound port 25 should be str on They Blocked My SMTP, Now What? · · Score: 1

    Except that your customers pay for _connectivity_, you fucking asshole.

  6. Right from Yahoo! News on Encrypted Cell Phone Hits the Market · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Great to see Slashdot is relevant news. Maybe MS should buy the Slashdot news page, if it wants a pile of rehashed content.

  7. Re:Madonna on Head Injury Induces Foreign Accent Syndrome · · Score: 1

    No, she just sucks.

  8. -1, Old News on China to Promote Own Alternative to DVDs, EVD · · Score: 1, Troll

    Ripped right out of Yahoo! News, way to be relevant Slashdot Editors!

  9. Fix the Compilers on Genetic Algorithms and Compiler Optimizations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The compiler ought to optimize this stuff anyway! How about "set suck=(yes|no)" and "prefer=(speed|size)" as options. Let the compiler and its designers come up with what is required to meet (or approach) a programmer's wishes.

  10. Re:I want to see 64bit software compared on AMD Predicts End of 32-bit Processors · · Score: 1

    It's Athlon, not Athalon, or Atahlon. You have an extra A, A-hole. You can't spell the word 'benfit' (sic) either, and Sparc is actually "SPARC" (an acronym).

    Perhaps you're a poorly written trollbot?

  11. Tales from the Server Room on Sun Announces New AMD-Based Product Line · · Score: 1

    The plural of anecdote is not data.

  12. No, fascist on Best Buy Uses DMCA To Quash Black Friday Prices · · Score: 1

    The primary purpose of government is to protect people from criminals. Where are you from, Europe?

  13. Re:Next Headline: on Best Buy Uses DMCA To Quash Black Friday Prices · · Score: 1

    Most likely because Portugal is a nation of savages, like other Europen States, where education is publicly funded.

  14. But you can't CALL it MS-Word on Microsoft Word Document ML Schemas Published · · Score: 4, Funny

    The name and trademarks of Microsoft may NOT be used in any manner, including advertising or publicity pertaining to the Specification or its contents without specific, written prior permission. Title to copyright in the Specification will at all times remain with Microsoft.

    So you can write an app which transforms a Word doc to something else, but you can't refer to your app as a Microsoft Word file converter. So how long until we'll have a "Converter for the Evil Empire's word processor document type" project on Sourceforge?

  15. Bye-bye competition on Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access · · Score: 0

    Please show me in the Constitution where it becomes the responsibility of the State to provide public utilities, especially considering that the market already is serviced by private companies? How can you compete with free?

  16. Re:Excuse my naivety... on Mandrake 9.2 ISOs Available · · Score: 1

    3Ware is the only true "hardware RAID" solution and has provided drivers. The other (cheap) SATA RAID cards are mostly software RAID, with vendor supplied and/or OSS drivers. The issue is that the install kernels of these distros don't have the drivers in them to access the RAID arrays.

  17. Install to RAID on Mandrake 9.2 ISOs Available · · Score: 1

    But can I install it to my SATA RAID-0 array? Typically these distros include modules, but NOT on the boot disk/kernel, therefore I can't install to a RAID array. Anyone try this?

  18. Re:better yet on Mounting Virtual Drives as Physical Drives in Windows? · · Score: 1

    You're just doing this so that you can use the word "mung" like Eddie Gilbert, that arrogant, useless cocksucker.

  19. Re:What a shock on OSNews Rates Fedora Core 1 Mild Disappointment · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    +1, All Too True.

    Deny this hag her page-counts, and she'll go away. Stop reading her GUI-theme-of-the-month rants!

  20. Re:what I want to know is... on Batteries Continue To Suck · · Score: 4, Informative

    Alkalines have high internal resistance, which makes them poor candidates for cameras and other high-current applications. Alkalines rule for transistor radios, etc, where you have miniscule current draw.

  21. Re:Try a LRP-type distro that runs out of RAM on Belkin To Offer Firmware Fix For Router Hijacking · · Score: 1

    Except none of the images from LEAF boot from HD, its all floppy.

  22. 3 GHz P4? = $300 on Building a Budget Storage Server · · Score: 1

    What are the Intel fanboys thinking? My Athlon 2600 cost $90.

  23. Fight is over content distribution on Imagine A UN-Run Internet · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If the UN runs the Internet (which may not even be possible, to "run" the Internet), then "unapproved" content will be simply circulated by other means, radio, underground printing press, word-of-mouth, etc. It's the old adage - when encryption is outlawed, only outlaws will use encryption. This type of move is a pure power grab. This is analogous to the MPAA demanding a "broadcast flag" in digital TV streams, or the RIAA stomping on webcasters (despite the fact that analog radio is free, and IT IS LEGAL TO RECORD FROM).

  24. Flaws in its (software|business model) on Security Affecting Microsoft's Bottom Line · · Score: 1

    The poster has it backwards - flaws in its business model PRODUCE the flaws in its software. Christ, don't they teach even rudimentary logic in schools anymore?

  25. Re:Spoiler warning. on The Matrix: Resolutions · · Score: 1

    Actually Paul could see when blinded by the stone burner because he could see across time and space (obviously mentally), so he could "see" the present and his surroundings mentally, without the use of his physical organs.
