  1. 12" vs 10.6" on Sony's New Vaio PCG-TR1A: 12" Powerbook Killer? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How can this thing be better, when the screen is 1.4" smaller? Heck I think 12" is too small, but 10.6"? Geez can anyone even read /. on that? :)

  2. Still a good idea... on Picking Up the Pieces · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Shredding your financial statements is still a good idea. It keeps people from going through your trash and getting financial information. Everyone should at least get a straight line shredder and shred everything that they don't use.

  3. Search? on Honeytokens: The Other Honeypot · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What happens if someone does a search for that happens to find "John F. Kennedy" and several other patients. Does that mean the person was in the wrong place?

  4. Unfortunetly... on Will Cellular Swamp WiFi? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Cellular will win out, because it can be metered. Companies want to be able to charge per byte (or Kbyte). WiFi doesn't let you do that, and overall WiFi may be regulated to mostly home/SOHO use. While cellular becomes the mobile alternative!

  5. RFID for the RFID??? on Labelling RFID Products · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does that mean the RFID needs to be IDed with an RFID in case someone takes off with the RFID???

  6. Very Impressive on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 5, Interesting

    OSX is definitly very, very impressive. With regular updates (every ~6-9months), Apple will be so far ahead before Longhorn comes out, that MS might actually have to try to compete! All I can say is that as a long time PC fan, way to go Apple

  7. Same thing was said about Apple on Sun's Last Stand · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People are always predicting doom for Sun and Apple, and yet both companies manage to hold on. Sun's doing much better than a year ago and is selling LOTS of hardware. They aren't dead yet...

  8. Sendo, AKA SCO on Sendo Sues Orange for Patent Infringement · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sendo *must* be a subsidiary of SCO...

  9. Its a TV really... on Samsung LTM295W 29" LCD Review · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think this thing was really meant to be used as a TV. Notice the component inputs. Yes it has DVI, but that's just a side benefit. The real advantage is hooking up a consumer DVD player and enjoying progressive scan, widescreen DVDs.

  10. They must be crazy on SCO SCO SCO! · · Score: 1, Interesting

    SCO must know something that Novell, IBM and others don't. There has to be some clause, or wording that says "SCO ownz you". Otherwise why do all this crazy stuff? Why sue everyone and everybody? Is it for attention? No, this is a bad way to get some. Ahh well lets see how this plays out...

  11. Nucular? on Nucular Hydrogen Economy · · Score: 1

    When will we get Nucular wessels???

  12. They had a demo at Fry's Electronics! on Evolution Robotics' ER1 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    I saw a demo of this at Fry's Electronics! Very
    impressive, the robot itself isn't terrible fast, and you do have to have the laptop there, but the person demoing said they were working on something for PocketPCs, and other PDA's!

  13. He likes JavaScript??? on What I Hate About Your Programming Language · · Score: 1, Interesting

    He likes JavaScript, but hates something about all other languages? Most of his complaints are just plain nonsense. Want regex in Java, well upgrade then! Upgrade to the latest compilers/bug fixes. He doesn't like the way Perl syntax LOOKS like??? He's not all that good looking himself! Most of his complaints are overly simplistic, and full of fluff. There are much worse things to complain about languages, besides syntax, and inappropriate usage.

  14. Isn't that... on TiVo For Radio? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Isn't that called a Tape Recorder???? Seriously, a Tape is much better for this, and most radios have tape players builtin ANYWAYS.

  15. The both copy each other... on Microsoft Bites Apple, Apple Bites Back · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apple copies Microsoft, and Microsoft copies Apple.
    Apple coppied the WinXP feature that lets users switch who's logged in without losing state. And Microsoft copies features from Apple. Its the Kettle calling the Pot black...

  16. Where will this $12k-$17k go? on RIAA Settles Suits Against Students · · Score: 1

    Will this money go to the artist who's songs were pirated? NO, the money will most likely go back into enforcing piracy laws.

  17. Re:CEO/CIO versus the grunt laborer at the bottom on Silicon Valley Has Learned to Love the Bust · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People with H1-B visa's are not your problem. I know too many people that got some dinky tech degree from ITT Tech, got paid great money during the Boom, and now bitch and moan about H1-B workers taking their jobs. Its capitalism at is best!

  18. Who cares! on Cable Beats DSL For Average Speed · · Score: 1

    I can't get either cable or dsl, so to me both are equally as fast (or slow!)

  19. Other alternatives... on Trusted Debian v1.0 Released · · Score: 0, Insightful

    There are other alternatives to this:

    Trusted Solaris
    Big IBM Mainframe

    But this is the first the runs on run-of-the mill
    x86 hardware, and will provide Linux with the sort of enterprise level of protection that Linux needs to be competititve. This may make MS think about security even more!

  20. Re:Step #1 on Apple Win32 to OS X Porting Guide · · Score: 3, Funny

    Get this

    It does wonders for cross-platform development

  21. Pinky??? on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 1

    So the real question is, what do we get when we create human-mouse hybrids? Pinky or Brain?

  22. Their server on Armadillo Flies... Briefly · · Score: 1

    Looks like their web server went up a hundred feet, tipped over and crashed to the ground :) All thanks to slashdot

  23. Re:Actually, wait... "Rare Bible Texts"? on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: 1

    Actually the bible has changed over the years.
    You can sometimes even see the differences in recent editions too. Try and grab a 60's or 70's
    "King James" edition and grab a new 2000 version
    and you'll find small changes. And that's only the last 30 or 40 years, imagine how much its changed in 800 or 1000 years!

  24. Some things are misleading on Apple Explains Interface Differences · · Score: 1

    Look at the screenshot of the power settings in Windows. The reason it looks like that is because the computer that Apple happened to use for the screen shot did not have the "turn off disk", "standby", and "hibernate" features and as such those things were missing from the screenshot. Had those things been there, then the screenshot would have looked full. Just a little misleading

  25. This slashdot article... on The Return Of The Live Human Being · · Score: 1

    Does slashdot use these psudeo-intelligent AI's or do are there real computers posting these articles?
