  1. Great News! on Nmap 5.20 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Great to hear of this new update. And about the new GUI, is it going to include some cheesy, bizarre movie effects like annoying sounds and red "Hack this website" buttons?

  2. Re:Airport Security on Own Your Own Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    Hey, I still fly a private jet... With 300+ other guys, it's a private jet owned by some multi-millionaire company

  3. Re:Airport Security on Own Your Own Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    Although I was being sarcastic in my post, I thank you for your answer. But are you saying you can stuff whatever you want in your private jet without screening? Even post 9/11?

  4. Airport Security on Own Your Own Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    So, even if I owned this beast of a jet, do I have to adhere to flight regulations like getting screened at the airport and not carrying fluids (unless inside my body)? Do airport hangar services include reloading the Vulcan gun or sidewinders?

  5. Re:yes on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Hahaha, that's very nice. You are indeed my new hero.

    I'm sorry but I didn't understand it. How can you have an idea if the CV gets passed around? How will the tags work?

  7. Another nail on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Another nail in the "Piracy kills our industry!" coffin. But honestly, even the file-sharers were telling everyone to go see it in the theaters first.

  8. English Words on Microsoft Sued Over Bing Trademark · · Score: 1

    English words belong to the public, to the people, and should never be trademarkable. This includes Bing, Apple, Socks, Oranges, Articulate, Office.. etc If a company wants to trademark a name, then at least the name should not consist of just one word, and it should be distinguishable.

  9. Damn! on Google Unveils goo.gl URL Shortening Service · · Score: 1

    We keep giving more of our independence and power to Google. Google, have mercy!

  10. Re:Not more safe on Malware Found Hidden In Screensaver On Gnome-Look · · Score: 1

    More Linux penetration in the regular user space means less spam and malware spreading machines. It's a better internet atmosphere overall.

  11. Re:Not more safe on Malware Found Hidden In Screensaver On Gnome-Look · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you have the source, you can do this in a few minutes (or put in your own temporary patch) with the proper skill and be back up and more secure than someone waiting for "Patch Tuesday."

    If you want Linux to grow and reach more people, as opposed to being a geek niche, then you should forget about requiring people to have the skills necessary to patch the source. Emergence of malware means only one thing: Linux is growing in popularity. Now, if we wish for its popularity to prosper then we should use the normal user's perspective a little bit; you know, people who can't patch the source and compile it by themselves.

  12. Re:FBI bait? on "Accidental" Download Sending 22-Year-Old Man To Prison · · Score: 1

    A judicial system whose success is defined by 'how many offenders caught' is flawed, serves no justice, and is grounds for lots of baiting attempts by the enforcers. A judicial system should focus on bringing justice by punishing those who commit a crime willingly, not trying to get them to commit one.

    The poor guy should be suing the FBI, specifically mentioning how they figured out that "College Girls Gone Whatever" is child porn. They either set it up themselves or downloaded it by mistake; both methods mean the poor guy should not be arrested.

    Your typical FBI agent needs to add to his achievements. Real, dangerous work is too much for him, what does he do? He uses baits and mines; success for the lazy agent is guaranteed.

  13. No Texas on Windows 7 Under Fire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just stop Implicit from reaching Texas...

  14. Land of the Free? on FCC Lets Radar Company See Through Walls · · Score: 0, Troll

    More like Police State.

    Americans will cling firmly to their freedom of speech (or is it freedom to say stupid things?) but will gladly give away their other (more important) freedoms, slowly but surely.

    Get a grip, guys.

  15. Re:Conductant? on Brain-Control Gaming Headset Launching Dec. 21 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You don't need conductive gel at all. My graduation project was using EEG to allow disabled people to control a PC, and we did not use conductive gel, at all. Conductivity was very good.

  16. Re:Yet another cloud? on Intel Shows 48-Core x86 Processor · · Score: 1

    Why can't it just be cloudy?

    sorry.



    I would like to promote your post. How can I do that?
  17. Looting on US Congressman Announces Plans To Probe Wikileaks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Frm: DKU@att.net Sub: Going to DC Txt: Well, night fall is here. Its time to do some looting. I need a microwave. Request???"

    That is one bastard who didn't mind the catastrophe. Looting a microwave, WTF?

  18. So, it's... on Colleges Struggling With the Digital Bathroom Wall · · Score: 5, Insightful

  19. Re:Christmas gifts,shoes,handbags,ugg,Tshirts on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    I've seen this spamming bot a lot here, are Slashdot staff getting a cut of that website's revenue? If so, I want in.

  20. Effects on Add-on Development on Firefox 3.6 Locks Out Rogue Add-ons · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So what would be the effect on Add-on development? Would it make it more difficult to develop them? Would it constrain the Add-on developers?

    Or is this just a method to lock out some Add-on with already known problems?

  21. Re:Let's Be Serious on Fear Detector To Sniff Out Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Yeah, a real terrorist, regarding of his nationality/religion/affiliation is supposed to have passed Handling Fear 101 in terror boot camp.
    This move from the US, if actually applied; will stir more hate and controversy against the US government, which in turn would alienate people and make it even easier to brainwash new would-be terrorists.

    The US needs to realize that the root of all terror acts against it is a direct correlation with its actions on the political influence, especially in the middle east. Simply put, laws like these make it easier to brainwash young ones into terrorism.

  22. Let's Be Serious on Fear Detector To Sniff Out Terrorists · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The officers would only pull Arab-looking dudes, and many of those dudes might produce fear signals not because of terrorism, but because they're afraid of being treated badly at US airports like many of their brethren are.

  23. Re:Let me guess... on Canadian Copyright Lobby Fights Anti-Spyware Legislation · · Score: 1

    As long as US lobbyist money can reach over there, it is just a matter of time... .. Just a matter of time until the lobbyists just can't afford to waste anymore money against the internet folks.

  24. Two faces of a coin on Canadian Copyright Lobby Fights Anti-Spyware Legislation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The more spyware and copyright lobbyists get mentioned together in legislation environments, the better. Since the majority of the folks in the judicial system are not tech-savvy, this may be a good chance to print a very bad (and true) trait on the operations of the copyright lobby.

  25. Re:Sabotage? on Sneaky Microsoft Add-On Put Firefox Users At Risk · · Score: 3, Interesting

    On the other hand MS shouldn't want Windows machines to be anymore vulnerable.
