  1. Will on North Korea Threatens US With Preemptive Nuclear Strike · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Nuclear launch detected!" be followed by: "Battle-cruiser operational"?

  2. Re:Trade-offs on Valve Sued In Germany Over Game Ownership · · Score: 1

    You're happy to pay 60 euros or whatever it costs in US for every newish title? Checkout blops2 price , I'd rather buy it of someone who's already bored with it for way less

  3. Re:In my day... on 64GB MS Surface Pro Only Has 23GB of Free Space · · Score: 1

    True, but it also installs all the bloatware.

  4. Re:Pressure from competition? yeah right on HTC Profits Drop By 79% · · Score: 1

    Thanks for a great suggestion. I'll definitely check this out. And it's written in Perl, which is awesome.

  5. Pressure from competition? yeah right on HTC Profits Drop By 79% · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe HTC should stop making stupid design decisions like a non removable battery and no microSD expansion slot? Owned original HTC Desire and still love it, despite browsing Slashdot on it was soo slow.

  6. Re:easy answer. on A Million-Year Hard Disk · · Score: 0

    Guess you fell a sleep on your history lesson when they covered Europe and Russia...

  7. Re:This is great news! on Steam For Linux Will Launch In 2012 · · Score: 0

    Actually, it doesn't store your save games in the cloud, just look in C:/Users/$username/My documents?/, somewhere there. The only thing it saves (source based games atleast) are your key configs.

  8. Re:Cooperation? on Russia Threatens Pre-emptive, Destructive Force On US Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    This is BS, Russia been whining for a while regarding it being a part of defense system. US says NO.

  9. Re:Firing in US on Interview With TSA Screener Reveals 'Fatal Flaws' · · Score: 1

    Actually, in eastern Europe, you can get fired with the reason: "loss of trust", which can be made up by an employer, since there are no definition of "trust" term neither law or an employee contract.

  10. Re:How many of those where linux pc's again? None on Researchers Say Kelihos Gang Is Building New Botnet · · Score: 1

    People running Linux are also more educated.

    My grandma is running Linux, I wouldn't call here that educated.

  11. Thanks but no thanks... on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    I remember when Vista with new Outlook interface (ribbon?) was pushed down in the previous company I worked in, and for a common worker those changes weren't so pleasant to say the least. One guy bugged local IT department for two weeks regarding missing stuff. Wonder what will happen if he's forced to use metro...

  12. Re:Good, Because Certs Are Worthless on The IT Certs That No Longer Pay Extra · · Score: 1

    Except it's always colds as s*** there.

  13. Re:Maybe the movies just aren't very good on Ebert: I'll Tell You Why Movie Revenue Is Dropping · · Score: 1

    +1. Last time I was in the cinema I thought I was gonna throw up just because their "sound gear" if you can even call it that, was cranked up to 11, and the sound that was comming was worst than my 50$ 2.1 pc speakers that I owned back in 2006.

  14. Re:Ah, America! on Verizon Adds $2 Charge For Paying Your Bill Online · · Score: 1

    Why are you even using credit cards to pay bills? In Europe bank transfers are used for such and are entirely free for consumers.

    This is actually not true, if you are older than 26 Swedbank adds 0.26 euro cent for every bank transfer.

  15. Re:Yeah... on Flooding Takes Major Hard Drive Plant Offline; Shortages Predicted · · Score: 1

    Well,the two drives of three that I ordered will go into my gaming pc (yes windows) and the remaining one will be an os drive for a linux box,wish I knew better.. So what are we left with if both WD and Seagate are out of the question?

  16. Yeah... on Flooding Takes Major Hard Drive Plant Offline; Shortages Predicted · · Score: 1

    Try to order some WD RE drives and just hope that they are in stock, or better yet email the seller in advance.

  17. Re:It's not the major. on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 1

    Mod this up, one of our newest tech support guy has this motto: "Why should I learn anything if, I already have a degree in `whatever IT related`."

  18. It's not just British CS... on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 1

    here in eastern Europe, somewhat 70% of graduates in IT (don't think it's called CS here) don't even know what DNS is.This number is not something that I made up. Part of my job is to review candidates for a job.Personally, I would take a dropout any day if he knows his stuff.

  19. Re:Would MAC address filtering counter this proble on The Wi-Fi Hacking Neighbor From Hell · · Score: 0

    Actually, you can see MAC addresses without even cracking WEP/WPA...

  20. Yeah.. on Microsoft: No Botnet Is Indestructible · · Score: 0

    I'm agree with the whole nothing is impossible thing, but if bad guys were dumber it wouldn't take smart guys so much time to take out a botnet in the first place would it?

  21. Re:Backtrack 5 was released yesterday on Book Review: BackTrack 4: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing · · Score: 0

    GL on selling a book about old software, bad timing I guess.
