  1. Final transmission: on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 5, Funny

    "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

  2. Adam? on Sea Sponge Extract Conquers Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, to get more of it, we need to implant the sponges in little orphan girls?

  3. Phoronix = OSNews? on S3 Graphics Fails At Delivering Linux Driver · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is Phoronix the new crap site Slashdot is pimping now? Some sort of mutual page-hit backroom deal?

  4. No fix until ZFS on Long-Term Performance Analysis of Intel SSDs · · Score: 1

    With the fix for this problem being essentially "nuke the drive and reinstall periodically", there's really no fix until you get a flash-aware filesystem. Too many virtualization layers between your app doing the write, and the bits being flipped.

    This could be useful for ETL jobs or other heavy 'batch' type work, as the nature of the access will essentially 'reset' the drive for the next pass.

  5. How about only ARM? on Dell Selling Dual-Boot Laptops · · Score: 1

    I'd love an ARM laptop running Linux - where can I get one? 12 hour battery life here I come !

  6. willing to go to jail ? on You Are Not a Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Are you willing to go to jail over your 5th amendment rights, or not? That is the only real question. If you are, then destroy evidence, refuse to give up encryption keys, do whatever.

  7. Re:InfoWorld = FAIL on The Incredible Shrinking Operating System · · Score: 1

    You READ the article???

  8. InfoWorld = FAIL on The Incredible Shrinking Operating System · · Score: 1

    Somehow MySQL is the same as an operating system? Daemons and Services are the same as device driver support? Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

    This is drivel.

  9. Re:If they win... on Psystar Wins a Round Against Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh God why would you want to? The abomination which is HP-UX must be expunged from the Earth. Kill it with fire!

  10. Patsy on $2 Billion For Broadband Cut From Stimulus Bill · · Score: 1

    If you're sitting around a poker table, and you don't know who the patsy is, then it's you. Everyone wants this bill, because they think "the other guy" will get screwed more. Everyone cries foul play when THEIR pork gets cut.

  11. Re:Just another kind of spam on Carbonite Stacks the Deck With 5-Star Reviews · · Score: 1

    While your review parsing methodology appears sound, your opinion about life being not black and white fails it. Evil exists. Good exists. Decisions can be made on fundamental truths.

  12. Re:About 10 years too late on Offline Gmail Launched · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    1) "Power Users"
    2) signed with your username
    3) FAIL

  13. "Freedom" of assembly on Social Networking Spurs Activism Against Repression · · Score: 1

    We have that in the US, except for when the government says you can't.

  14. blogspot on Obama To Launch Website For Tracking Tax Expenditures · · Score: 0, Troll

    Lets see how Obama's naive idealism deals with the stupidity, bureaucracy, and inteptitude of the Federal Government. He may end up "launching a website" on blogspot himself, which of course would be illegal if he was Republican.

  15. NUMA is old hat, unless you're in Redmond on Generational Windows Multicore Performance Tests · · Score: 1

    Unix kernel coders have written NUMA-aware stuff for years. When MS is late to the party, why not just say so? And if they're always late, why bother with them?

  16. "Open" on Obama Edicts Boost FOIA and .gov Websites · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is this on the same website yesterday that said "President Obama has not issued any executive orders" when in fact he had already done several?

  17. The sound you hear on Obama Looking At Open Source? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is CmdrTaco masturbating furiously.

    Of course the government looks at, and likely uses, Open Source. What's next, "Obama decides to eat breakfast" and we all drool and slaver over THAT piece of minutiae?

  18. Re:Hi there, click harvester, here's why you fail on Energy Star Program Needs an Overhaul · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I don't care about everyone else's wallet, I care about MINE. Try thinking locally next time, and maybe you'll start to understand what's going on here. You sound like a Democrat.

  19. Hi there, click harvester, here's why you fail on Energy Star Program Needs an Overhaul · · Score: -1, Troll

    First off, its not your job, or the EPA, or DeviceGuru, or anyone else - its up to the people that buy the stuff.
    Secondly, after Piquipaille ripped, bless his heart, people are now more than ever aware of click suckers like yourself.
    Thirdly, the Slashdot astroturf detector is strong, and nobody will click your self-pimped link.
    Fourth, although "150 times the power draw" sounds sensational, it's still only 20W, or 480W a day, or a nickel. If you want to save money, skip Starbucks, your TV in so-called "sleep mode" is not what's keeping you out of Beverly Hills.
    Lastly, you should have picked any other day to submit, so that if your submission DID get picked, it wouldn't have been kdawson, who is at best a bot and worst a GNAA operative.

  20. Re:Full 'nix for arm? on Ubuntu Mobile Looks At Qt As GNOME Alternative · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    There's also Debian ARM, which avoids the boutique OS douchebaggery factor.

  21. All of them? on Possible Last-Minute Problems With Vista SP2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Could it be that the last minute problems of Vista SP2 are just ... well, Vista ?

  22. How is this news? on Intel Testing Solar Power For Data Centers · · Score: 0, Troll

    Solar energy can be converted to electricity. Film at 11.

    because Intel is doing it at a "data center"?

    Why do we care?

  23. who cares about the discoverers? on First Earth-Sized Exoplanet May Have Been Found · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I want to see video of the planet.

  24. How about boycotting it? on Tech-Related Volunteer Gigs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The CONCEPT of "Service Day" needs to go. Why is working for anyone other than yourself virtuous?

  25. Re:dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 is enough for ever on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 4, Informative

    That would take too long - you can't depend on the blocking kernel random generator, as it needs a source of data to keep feeding the entropy pool.
