  1. Re:Bad GUI and no CLI: way too common on Take This GUI and Shove It · · Score: 1

    You might want to look into pfSense. It's a firewall/router based on FreeBSD that uses pf underneath. You have complete shell access to the system. m0n0wall uses pf too, but enabling shell access was a bit hard the last time I checked.

  2. Re:The important part on GOG.com Not Really Gone · · Score: 2, Funny

    All generalizations are wrong.

  3. Re:Is there an update feature? on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 1

    The Update Manager already does this for Ubuntu users...

  4. Re:I used to have trouble falling asleep on The Brain's Secret For Sleeping Like a Log · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know this a troll, but this is very true. Our bodies produce proloactin and oxytocin after sex so we fall asleep afterwards. They're our bodies' natural sleeping pill.

  5. Lucky? on The Brain's Secret For Sleeping Like a Log · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you can call this lucky. I came to the office late because of my brain's high spindle rate. :)

  6. Re:Don't plug it to internet on Attacking Game Consoles On Corporate Networks · · Score: 1

    Well, you can also say the same thing to your workstation. Ten years ago, people thought that there was no reason why office workstations would need to be connected to a network.

  7. Re: BIllions of young males, no women on China Shoots Down Another Satellite · · Score: 1

    The gender difference between couples will decrease.

  8. Re:Not fast enough on Teaching With Robots · · Score: 1

    why aren't robots fully integrated into the McDonald's supply chain reducing the price of my burger to 50 cents?

    Depending on the exchange rate and burger type, that's already the price of burger in some countries.

  9. Re:pfsense? on Unusual, Obscure, and Useful Linux Distros · · Score: 3, Informative

    Replying to undo moderation. pfSense is based on FreeBSD, not Linux.

  10. Re:who's to blame? on DHS Wants To Monitor the Web For Terrorists · · Score: 1

    What will we replace the fox with? Privacy invasion is bad, but how can we adequately protect ourselves from terrorists? I think the people who put the fox in the hen house can't see any other solution.

  11. Re:Parents are the Biggest Factor on Teaching Fifth Graders Engineering · · Score: 1

    Supplement this with some old hardware that they can take apart with only a screwdriver.

    As a kid, I disassembled our old CRT TV just to satisfy my intense curiosity on how our TV looks inside. The TV has been unplugged for some time, but it was still a very "shocking experience".

  12. We played pirated Starcraft on Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My friends and I used to play cracked Warcraft and Starcraft copies on our PCs. After we graduated and eventually had jobs, some of my friends bought authentic CDs because they felt that it was the right thing to do. They said that they've always wanted to buy the real thing but they didn't have money to do so. It was then that I realized that the figures that some companies claim to have lost to piracy are just a bunch of BS. I also realized that in order for a software company to be profitable, they need to make quality software that people actually use. Attempting to control how people copy their software is a waste of time.

  13. Re:DOS Is dead use visual basic on For Automated Testing, Better Alternatives To DOS Batch Files? · · Score: 1

    DOS may be dead, but its progeny lives on inside embedded devices...

  14. Re:World domination. Finally. on Patents On Synthetic Life "Extremely Damaging" · · Score: 1

    So if you study steel, all steel structures should be yours? And if you study the world...

    Yes, if you manage to create steel factories and produce steel products first. If you manage to be the first to sail around the world you have studied...

  15. Re:A little peeved! on Tabnapping Scams Around the Corner? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are you sure this post is not a scam that is intended to drive traffic to your site?

  16. Re:don't mock the Notepad++ on Zen Coding · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why did you include an OS in this editor war?

    *woooooooooooosh*

  18. Re:older developers... on Why Linux Is Not Attracting Young Developers · · Score: 0

    How brave of you to post your domain name at Slashdot! Good luck keeping your web and e-mail servers alive. :)

  19. Re:First post! on The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform · · Score: 3, Funny

    Clearly, an ARM single core is too slow to keep up with real-time speeds required to successfully execute a first post.

  20. Re:Well.. on Foursquare Turns Down $100M · · Score: 1

    It's good to analyze things from a detached and impartial point of view, while recognizing that emotions are part of being human. All too often, we Slashdotter types think that logic is all that's important. Anyway, that was a good car analogy to keep this thread on topic. :)

  21. Re:Well.. on Foursquare Turns Down $100M · · Score: 1

    Since we're discussing about prices, here's my theory:

    You made her various offers. The fact that you did that means that her price is high while your price is low. Girls don't want to go near low-valued individuals, especially if the disparity between your prices is high. If you had high price, she would have made the offer first (i.e., by flirting).

    Imagine that you're Brad Pitt. Would you bother making offers to girls just to get laid? The solution to your problem is to increase your value. Go out and have fun, and stop reading Slashdot. Since this is difficult, most guys just increase their perceived value by faking it. Notice how assholes get all the chicks instead? Girls think that price is the same as value.

  22. Re:I smoke... on Young Men Who Smoke Have Lower IQs · · Score: 2, Funny

    Jah, mon! What we need is ganja! Thank you for finally recognizing its beneficial health effects.

  23. Re:If you can't handle calculus, science isnt for on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 1

    I'm a C scientist. My dissertation was about pointers.

  24. Astronauts have bright futures on Astronaut Careers May Stall Without the Shuttle · · Score: 1

    "I'm an astronaut" looks very good on the resume. I don't think that the lack of space shuttles would stall their careers.

  25. Re:Groovy on The Struggle To Keep Java Relevant · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was about to mod you funny when I realized that "groovy" is a programming language, not something that describes Java.

    Oh well, I also realized that I'm starting to grow my own lawn...
