  1. Infringing Content on youtube! on Google Strikes Deal With Paramount · · Score: 1

    Paramount legal department: There is infringing content on youtube and they even have the gall to charge for it! Pirates! Shut them down NOW! They should just know what is infringing and what isn't!

  2. Re:Dont Nuke 'em. Was Re:Southern guy with three n on Neil deGrasse Tyson Outlines a Plan For Saving Earth From Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I came up with a drinking game where you take a drink every time there was a scientific inaccuracy in "Armaggeddon" but I would always pass out drunk by the end of the opening credits.

  3. Re:Southern guy with three names on Neil deGrasse Tyson Outlines a Plan For Saving Earth From Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I thought the solution was to send up Bruce Willis with a nuke.

  4. IOmeter on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Test Storage Media? · · Score: 1

    The storage team where I work use a program called IOmeter. Ot runs on Windows and Linux (and I think other platformd as well) and is open source. They were using it for stress testing SAN storage but I think it would work for locally attached storage as well.

  5. Cool on GNU/Linux Running On An 8-Bit Processor · · Score: 1

    When can I expect a Commodore 64 port?

  6. Re:2013 - Year of the Linux Desktop on Adobe Releases Last Linux Version of Flash Player · · Score: 1

    And Windows 8.

  7. Re:Tape is the new DRM on After 60 Years, Tape Reinserts Itself · · Score: 1

    Jack Velenti, is that you?

  8. Re:Already fear Mongering on Monster Solar Tornadoes Discovered · · Score: 1

    "Toto, I don't think we're in the Sol system anymore."

  9. Re:More on In Your Face, Critics! Red Hat Passes $1 Billion In Revenue · · Score: 1

    Does anyone other then the most diehard Oracle customers even use Unbreakable Linux? I doubt Oracle's offering has had much effect on Red Hat's sales.

    Actually a fairly high percentage do, because Oracle licensing makes it MUCH more expensive on other OSes particularly on visualized environments.

  10. Re:Minimum Sentences on European Law Could Give Hackers Mimimum Two-Year Sentence · · Score: 2

    Of course part of that is that the "death penalty" is more of a "rot in prison for a decade or two and then we might kill you penalty", and by the time the executioners get around to offing anybody the public has completely forgotten about both the original crime and the murderer, and the execution doesn't even make the news.

    A punishment of any kind can't serve as a warning to would-be criminals if it's carried out in a way that nobody knows or cares about.

    Of course, there were no murders back in the bad-old-days when people were hanged for minor offenses after a short (and often optional) trial, right?

  11. Doomed to fail on FBI's Top Cyber-cop Says We're Losing the War Against Hackers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Any "war" where there isn't a party who can negotiate terms of surrender is doomed to failure.

  12. Re:I wonder... on Scientists Estimate 40% of Red Dwarfs Have A Rocky Planet · · Score: 1

    Another problem is that wormholes are expected to be extremely small, so while it may be possible to squeeze a few electrons through one the idea of a wormhole big enough to fly a ship through is another thing all together.

    And aren't they guarded by Kardashians? I try my best to avoid them but I hear that if you their flour on them they get really mad.

  13. Re:This is Sony on Sony Taking Down PSP Titles In Response To Vita Hackers · · Score: 2

    Funny - I have a Sony clock radio and when I put my iPod in there, it plays music. It also wakes me up in the morning at the time I set on the alarm. I also own a Sony eReader, and when I tap on one of my books, the words come up on the screen and, when I swipe my finger across the page, it advances forward or backward accordingly.

    No masochism involved.

    I have a Sony blu-ray player that in order to use any feature above just playing disks I had to create an account on Sony's web site and give them a bunch of personal information. I think this is necessary to update the device as well.

  14. Re:You don't say... on Richard Clarke: All Major U.S. Firms Hacked By China · · Score: 1

    You can't access Hulu from outside the states, you insensitive clod!

    Nothing that a proxy can't fix.

  15. Re:I can think of one measure on Ask Slashdot: What Defines Success In an Open Source Project? · · Score: 1

    Heaven forbid you write a PHP application hosted on Apache running on Linux against a MySQL database.you might have to callit GNU/LAMPMyProgram.

  16. Re:You don't say... on Richard Clarke: All Major U.S. Firms Hacked By China · · Score: 3, Informative

    I want access to all the X-Files!

    You can probably view them ask on Hulu and/or Netflx.

  17. Re:driving another nail in its already buried coff on Righthaven Stops Showing Up In Court · · Score: 1

    My bad. I was hungry when I posted this.

  18. Re:driving another nail in its already buried coff on Righthaven Stops Showing Up In Court · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like they dug it up and fired it into the sun.

    No, just drove another steak through it's heart and doused out with holy water again.

  19. Re:Pah! Antisocial network on Senators Ask Feds To Probe Facebook Log-in Requests · · Score: 1

    The software HR departments use to filter resumes based on keywords usually only recognizes Word format. Often it is little more than a set of VBA macros.

  20. Re:Corally to Clarke's Third Law on Magician Marco Tempest Talks 'Open Sorcery' · · Score: 1

    Someone noticed my tagline!

  21. Re:Need some kind of disincentive in the water. on Militarizing Your Backyard With Python and AI · · Score: 1

    Perhaps adds some tobasco sauce to the water.

  22. Re:Omnipresent Surveillance on New Samsung TV Watches You Watching It · · Score: 2

    Taping over the camera will work until they introduce an energy saving "feature" that turns off the screen when it doesn't detect anyone watching it.

  23. Re:Sound of Jaws Music... on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    So our solution is a SCUBA tank and a Highpowered rifle? But how do get monkeyboy to open wide?

    Balmer isn't a shark, he's the world's biggest Apple fanboi.

  24. Re:Metro UIr (beta)! on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    So it turns your zillion dollar ERP system into a Web 2.0-style interactive infographic that makes USA Today look information-dense?

    perfect for the CEO, useless for anyone below a VP.

  25. Re:Embrace Metro on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 3, Funny

    My smart money says is will reside in the land of Microsoft Bob and Clippy...

    What did Bob and Clippy do to deserve Metro?
