  1. Except for MS-SQL, of course on Trustworthy Computing At One Year · · Score: 0, Troll
    The problem with Microsoft is because we have a big deployment base out there, we go very, very public with any vulnerability, with patches.

    Those are such secret bugs/patches, Microsoft doesn't even tell their OWN admins.

  2. Re:Second best quote from the article on SecurityFocus On MS Security "Hole" · · Score: 3, Funny
    When banner ad revenue for a media outlet [slashdot.org] becomes more important than accuracy,

    Since when has accuracy been a concern to the editors at Slashdot?

  3. Re:Spam: My Review on Verbing Weirds Google · · Score: 1
    Out of the can, Spam is a little on the pinkish side. It definitely needed some "color" (as they say) before it was completely palatable. I'm sure raw Spam would taste no different than cooked Spam...

    SPAM is not actually "raw" out of the can. It is fully cooked, and is still good, just lacks the fried taste. Chill it for a couple of hours in the fridge before eating it "out of the box" to cut down on the slipperyness.

  4. Re:I thought.... on Mandrake Linux... Not Dead Yet? · · Score: 1

    Say it, Frenchy! Say, "Chowdaa!"

  6. Re:Hardware OS's ? on BIOS' Days Are Numbered · · Score: 1
    Of course we'll be able to have hardware Windows XP!

    And, of course, all WindowsXP *Inside* boards will be blue, with white printing.

  7. They should be already on The Demise of Model Rocketry? · · Score: 2, Informative
    The background checks will be more stringent than those used for baggage screeners at airports.

    'Nuff said.

  8. Re:Incremental build? on Inside The Development of Windows NT · · Score: 2, Funny
    So they rebuild Windows from scratch every day?

    That explains why MS tech support thinks simply reinstalling Windows every day isn't a big problem.

  9. Re:Pretty accurate on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1
    Most of the software people I know look just like Hugh Jackman, get to hook up with Halle Berry...

    Do they have adamantium claws, too?

  10. Re:$127,000 on Dave Barry Answers Alert Slashdot Readers' Questions · · Score: 1
    I'd double-check to make sure they didn't pay you in stock.

    Or lines of Taco-written perl.

  12. Solid Waste Management? on Cybercafe At Mt. Everest · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be easier to just sell their poop to Australian ski resorts?

  13. Re:Oh great... on Dragon's Lair 3D Not Worth The Effort · · Score: 1

    Party on, Garth! Excellent!

  14. Re:Rackspace or Rackable? on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 1

    Ahh.

  15. Re:that's neat and all on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 1

    • CGI Model that looks like a puppet
    • Jar-Jar Binks
  16. Re:Rackspace or Rackable? on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 1

    Actually, according to the article, they're using neither, but rather Racksaver.

  17. What?? on The Search for Secret Shuttle Parts · · Score: 4, Funny
    CmdrTaco wrote:

    Slashdot readers have been submitting this story about the search for secret shuttle parts with all sorts of insane conspiracy theories attached to their cut & paste of the URL. It's apparently just the box that handled encryption for messages...

    A Slashdot editor actually READ a submitted article, and posted comments that seem reasonable and logically thought out?

  18. Wal-Mark on E-commerce Sites to Collect Sales Taxes Nationwide · · Score: 1

    Almost as good as Wal-Mart, but a whole lot cheaper.

  19. Re:Let the Non-Apple Pie Jokes Begin? on Baked Apple · · Score: 1
    Insert OB Overclocking Joke Here

    Just curious. How do you overclock an Obstetrician?

  20. Re:and why... on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 1, Funny

    Because I wanted to see this behaviour first-hand in my browser, after reading this post on Slashdot.

  21. Mother knows best on Remotely Counting Machines Behind A NAT Box · · Score: 1
    Your friendly DSL or cable broadband provider could implement this technique to enforce their single-machine license clause.

    Well, any ISP that enforces such limits on their "Unlimted Internet" service isn't your friend.

  22. Dropping The Floppy? on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 1

    Sounds like what you do after slapping the salami.

  23. Re:Why I use Opera on Opera 7.0 Security Holes ... Fixed · · Score: 1
    unpredicatable or inintentional behaviors with the gestures.

    Suggestion: Don't try predicating your gestures. Stick to predicating your verbs.

  24. There's a reason. on Microsoft's Home Of Tomorrow Has No Bathroom · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you really want Steve Ballmer hunched over a monitor somewhere and sweating while watching you lather up in the shower?

  25. Re:XBox mod chips... on Xbox Losses Double, Xbox Shrinks · · Score: 1, Funny
    Wouldn't be surprised if they put a bullet-proof kryptonite cover over the chips or soemthing.

    And we all know how good Microsoft is at preventing people from hacking their products.
