  1. Sarah Conner Cronicles on 'Arrested Development' Comes Exclusively To Netflix · · Score: 0

    please. Also V (not Fox) would be good.

  2. We had those on Could Crowd-Sourced Direct Democracy Work? · · Score: 0

    It was called property ownership.

  3. Ron Paul on Slashdot Asks: Whom Do You Want To Ask About 2012's U.S. Elections? · · Score: 0

    Easy. He's the only one who's been explicit about how he will cut $1,000,000,000,000 of debt immediately. Everyone else is pretty vague, except Cain's 999 extra value meal, I mean plan.

  4. Re:Good on HPV Vaccine Recommended For Boys · · Score: 1
    Once again, with a vague comment I have created a thread that has given scores of people tons of mod points,..

    only to have my karma reduced to neutral. :|

  5. Re:Good on HPV Vaccine Recommended For Boys · · Score: 0

    Once again science making the world safer.

    Yeah.. Big pharma is all about 'science'.

  6. So Futuristic on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    Finally catching up to ftp and kermit

  7. Pirate Bay Colo on Mysterious Object Found In Seabed · · Score: 1

    it runs linux 3.0 and has Captain America buried in there!

  8. Duolinks SW24 on Ask Slashdot: Best Connect Scheme For a 2-ISP Household? · · Score: 1

    Dual WAN Load Balancer from SYSWAN. This thing is great. Tech support out of Oregon. $175 at newegg.

  9. First Post Bitches on World Health Organization Says Mobile Phones May Cause Cancer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow what a surprise

  10. Hell No on Mandatory Automotive Black Boxes May Be On the Way · · Score: 1

    Commercial airplanes built for shuttling around the general public is one thing. Automobiles to be sold to individuals is another. There is no good reason for this. I will not buy one. I will complain loudly to the manufactures and dealers that I would purchase the car but the black box is a 'deal killer'. This is the insurance industry's and law enforcement's wet dream. I don't care. I do not exist to make their jobs easier (actually the opposite). Hell no.

  11. What's next? on Confirmed: Microsoft Says It Will Open Source VB 6 · · Score: 1

    Powerbuilder and SQL Windows!

  12. Callcentric on Linux-Friendly Alternatives To Skype · · Score: 1

    I've had luck with Callcentric. They support plenty of devices and softphones.

  13. Final Product? on Mint It Yourself With a Browser-Based Bitcoin Miner · · Score: 1

    If the puzzles it solves meant cpu cycles farmed out, that had a demand, in an open market place, then yes, I could see this having some value. But the abstract is to abstract. What are these puzzles? A better idea would be.. if I could become a bitcoin affiliate and make money by getting others to sell bitcoin! Now you are talking!

  14. Bad deal on Man Demonstrates His New Bionic Hand · · Score: 1

    Steve Austin really had the show stolen from him when Luke Skywalker showed up.

  15. Re:Yeah yeah.... on Local Atmosphere Heated Rapidly Before Japan Quake · · Score: 1
  16. why GRUB? on GRUB 1.99 Released With Support For ZFS and BtrFS · · Score: 1

    My distro ditched LILO a while ago and I miss it terribly. A simple conf file. What more could you ask?

  17. Novell Netware on Ask Slashdot: Becoming a Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    make sure your up on the latest Client/Server technologies.

  18. the issue is where he was born on The Internet's New Alternate Reality · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone believes he's not actually a US citizen. The point of conflict is that the US President is required to be a natural-born citizen. That means that if you immigrate and become a US citizen, you can become a citizen with all rights and privileges, except for one, becoming President. Like many things, the Constitution stipulates that, but doesn't really define the term in complete detail.

    Natural Born is quite clear to me. You must have been born in the US. Naturally. So this would mean John Adams would qualify for President, and Alexander Hamilton would not (for sake of example ignoring the “or a citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution" clause). After that generation passed on, it would be impossible for anyone to immigrate to the US and then become President. I don't understand how this has become a gray area for so many lately.

  19. Bad move for Ubuntu One Music on Ubuntu 11.04, Slackware 13.37 · · Score: 1
    The default music player in Ubuntu 11.04 is no longer Rhythmbox. Instead Banshee is now the default music player.

    If they seriously wanted Ubuntu One Music to be relevant, it was already a bad idea to require linux/Rhythmbox, but now the default player wont even support One Music without installing a plugin.

  20. Nah! on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 1

    IT are Dogs! They are a bureaucracy that exist only to make real useful systems less effective. Throw them a pig ear and tell them you'll call them when the Exchange calendar is down again!

  21. Re:Unfortuantly... on GNU Free Call Announced, SIP-based VoIP · · Score: 1

    1. Not everyone who wants their communication private is a terrorist or a criminal. 2. With that in mind, who is interested in using the ridiculous image based method you mentioned for normal communication? Write 1500 words on 'Freedom & Liberty', then re-read your post.

  22. VPN on Time Warner Cable Launches iPad App With Live TV · · Score: 1

    solution anyone?

  23. Restore original CD from FLAC on Why We Should Buy Music In FLAC · · Score: 1

    I recently came into an album that was one long .flac file plus a .cue file. I prefer individual song files so I took a few steps to break it up. Basically using ImgBurn and MadFLAC, I was able to recreate the original CD via the .cue file and then re-rip the cd in the manner of my choosing. I didn't realize the power of the CUE file allowed me to create that cd again that was even recognized by a gracenote lookup. Fantastic.

  24. Bad Summary on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    Technically they're right. We are not a democracy, we are a republic.

    Correct.

    Their reasons for doing this may be wrong...

    What? I RTA and they don't say anything about democracy having the word democrat in it. It is a valid concern that students in public school systems should be correctly taught what type of government we are (meant to) have. Especially these days when so many are being taught that the government takes care of everything and is the ultimate authority in everyone's lives.

  25. Disaggree with Comments on Reminiscing Old School Linux · · Score: 1

    The modern linux is wonderful. There are lots more options and lots of them suck, but some don't. In the old days, there were no options. The one way sucked (sometimes). Todays linux still has everything intact and if you dont want all the Walmart Linux applications, you dont have to run them. Try Gentoo if you still really like to create the universe. But even there you have MUCH more stability and MUCH more supported hardware then in the bad old days.
