  1. Re:EMC Nightmere on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 1

    And remember kids, if its illegal, its automatically a bad idea.

  2. the case is the easy part on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 4, Informative

    The case is either Al or steel sheet metal, easily recyclable. The toxic sludge and heavy metals in the PCB, capacitors and solder are the problem. Call me when they invent cardboard solder.

  3. Easy: hookers and blow on How GNOME and KDE Spend Their Money · · Score: 1

    What else do dot-com startups need to spend money on when they never actually have to sell product and make money?

  4. its the screen and wifi, stupid on ARM Attacks Intel's Netbook Stranglehold · · Score: 1

    I don't care how much the CPU uses. Get me a screen and WiFi adapter that use 1W of power and I'll be interested.

  5. Re:Here they come... on Snow Leopard Missed a Security Opportunity · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I followed you until you said "p0wn", at which point you became just another internet putz. Try harder next time.

  6. already there, and easily patchable on Snow Leopard Missed a Security Opportunity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So they're at least using some ASLR, which they can patch for later, and they got Snow Leopard out the door earlier rather than later.

    If you're running your business on OSX Server, you didn't immediately go upgrade anyways, so where's the harm, other than early adopters claiming their ASLR isn't as cool as it could be?

  7. Technospeak on Windows 7 Touch, Dead On Arrival · · Score: -1, Troll

    "It would take one or both of these OS makers to truly touchify their platforms..."

    You sound gay.

  8. 64bit OS + FS buffer cache on Intel's Braidwood Could Crush SSD Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just add the extra 32GB of RAM to the OS, and let it more intelligently manage the data.

  9. Re:Not ZFS? on Build Your Own $2.8M Petabyte Disk Array For $117k · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You sound gay.

  10. Chrome OS vs. Browser on Sony To Put Chrome On Laptops · · Score: 1

    People are already too stupid to tell the difference between XP and IE, why would Google go against that paradigm?

  11. Iran on Military To Spend $42M To Build Advanced Network Control · · Score: 1

    This is about censorship, plain and simple.

  12. copy of information on Homeland Security Changes Laptop Search Policy · · Score: 1

    They're welcome to hang only my truecrypt volume as long as they like.

    5th Amendment FTW

  13. or just redefine literacy on We're In the Midst of a Literacy Revolution · · Score: 1

    text-speak and ebonics are not "bold new directions", they are corruptions of the language.

  14. Re:Games on Slackware 13.0 Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    Classic troll. I've been using Linux since 1992. Yes, 1992. Tseng Labs VLB video, reading the timings off the clock crystals on the video card, the whole thing. I have never smoked a monitor, nor has anyone I have ever talked to about Linux.

  15. Re:Much as I like Slackware... on Slackware 13.0 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    You know that "Ubuntu" is Swahili for "too lazy to install Slackware" right ?

  16. Re:Unanswered Questions on Sun Plans Security Coprocessor For New Ultrasparc · · Score: 1

    I think Sun is gambling that the thready goodness of the new processors + the crypto coprocessors = something you want to buy.

  17. The Spice must flow on Relativistic Navigation Needed For Solar Sails · · Score: 1

    Its easy, just take a massive overdose of Spice, float in your tank, and visualize the spaceship getting there. Presto! There it is.

  18. Re:Easy... on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If only there was some lightweight, distributed DB that could be used to associate a hostname with an IP address...

  19. Re:Windows 7 on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    I can't decide if this is a poor troll, or an epic fail. There is no "learning" Windows - if your job requires you to "learn" your operating system, and you're not a desktop tech, you're spending too much time dicking around with fonts, themes, and control panel widgets. And why the gratuitous Unix desktop bashing?

  20. Resigned to it on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 0, Troll

    People still using XP are the hardcore, the nerds, and the fearful. 70% of them like Win7 because they know Vista sucks donkey balls, and they know XP is hitting the toilet RSN. Its more resignation than excitement.

  21. Re:Stand drill on The Homemade Hard Disk Destroyer · · Score: 1

    You know how the Eagles saved them in the end? Why couldn't they have just flown there in the beginning?

  22. Idiotic question on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This is the dumbest Ask Slashdot, evar.

  23. War Points on Speaking With the Designer of an Indie MMO Project · · Score: 1

    I always favored War Points in PvP MUDs assigned by the other players. Sure you'd get douches, but its a good system if people respect the game.

  24. "clearly something awesome..." on Strange New Objects Seen In Saturn's Rings · · Score: 1

    Please. This happens all the time, but now someone saw it. Who gives a crap? And don't decide what everyone thinks is 'clear' or 'awesome', thanks very much.

  25. Re:What is your definition of "robust"? on Contributing To a Project With a Reclusive Maintainer? · · Score: 1, Troll

    No need to be a douche about it.
