  1. Re:Just think... on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1, Troll

    White male breaks glass ceiling in America - news at 11.

    Stop making references to things you don't understand. This has nothing to do with a glass ceiling.

  2. Release Management on Microsoft Brings 36 New Features To Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Call me crazy, but doesn't that violate proper release management? AFAIK:

    Alpha - new experimental features
    Beta - Testing/Vetting of features for value
    RC - features frozen, bug fixes only

  3. Re:Wow, they are lucky. on Charter Cable Capping Usage Nationwide This Month · · Score: 1

    So because you don't use anything near your usage cap, no one else will?

  4. Re:Oh no on Microsoft Surface To Coordinate SuperBowl Security · · Score: 1

    You mean you were going to use a Visual Basic GUI interface to track down the offending people

  5. Re:Leap Day... on Microsoft Zunes Committing Mass Suicide · · Score: 3, Insightful

    then why didn't this happen in 2004 - there were Zunes then (weren't there?)

  6. Re:Congrats Bill on Bill Gates Founds New "Think Tank" Company · · Score: 1

    I hear Ballmer has already thrown in some chairs for his new office.

    that was his office warming present you insensitive clod!

  7. Re:Stallman is laughing on Extended Gmail Outage Frustrates Admins · · Score: 1

    28 hrs of downtime != 99% uptime

  8. Re:Outage Outrage on Extended Gmail Outage Frustrates Admins · · Score: 1

    With proper SLAs you out source responsibility and liability. Those who haven't adequately protected themselves with SLAs and the relevant UCs are playing with the guards off.

    By your statement we should all generate our own power too.

  9. Re:The benefits of cloud computing on Extended Gmail Outage Frustrates Admins · · Score: 1

    If you were smart, you wouldn't route corporate email through a public service. Especially internal possibly confidential info. That's security first principals.

  10. Re:Isn't There an Iron Maiden Song For This? on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Windows 3.1 and 3.11 included rudimentary networking, which was major for its time.

  11. No chance you'll even have to turn the laptop on.. on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 1

    You're being overly paranoid. As a Canadian who travels to the US a lot (and is scrutinized more than a US citizen) I can assure you, the extent of the laptop inspection is

    "Please remove the laptop from it's case and put it on the conveyor belt"

    Followed by an optional random swabbing.

    You stand a better chance of having your insides inspected by a TSA agent than your laptop (cavity search, get it?).

  12. Re:Firefox Damage Control Is More Than Enough on Chrome Vs. IE 8 · · Score: 1

    Just tried the latest SVN build - no longer broken, version 0.2.151.0

    Doesn't Incognito browsing block cookies etc?

    Not an issue in Canada. Both Rogers (China Mobile and China Unicom) and Bell (China Mobile) support sending SMS to china

  15. Re:Simple.. on How Can Nerds Make a Difference In November? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    As a fellow Canadian, I suppose you were too inundated by the Obama campaign to realize that one of his key mandates is reforming free trade - the determent of Canada. But I suppose if you wanted to leave Canada that wouldn't be a bad thing - plus seems like your stupid enough to live there.

  16. Re:Well that's embarassing on Rosetta Disk Designed For 2,000 Years Archive · · Score: 1

    I'd put a bet on hinduism - its been around 3 times longer

  17. Re:Prediction on Windows Is Dead – Long Live Midori? · · Score: 1

    A very close parallel has existed for years. Ask your parents about green screen terminals that were hooked up to a mainframe back in the day

  18. Re:Good for India. on India Launches 10 Satellites At Once · · Score: 1

    This is different than the US how ?

  19. You're missing the point of an ISO standard on Office 2007 Fails OOXML Test With 122,000 Errors · · Score: 0

    And why is that an issue? The job of ISO is to develop the standard in an implementable fashion. Top down.

    Not a bottom up, adopt the lowest common denominator of whats already out there

  20. Re:kimchi isn't much of a problem on Kimchi in Space · · Score: 1

    Many South East Asians (Indian subcontinent) eat durian (or as I called it when I was young "stinky fruit") as well

  21. Re:More documentation may not be the answer. on Best Practices For Process Documentation? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Clearly Mr. Semler hasn't had to face industry/government auditors....

    Idiot

  23. Scalability / Reliability on Slashdot's Setup, Part 1- Hardware · · Score: 1

    I'm actually surprised, I was expecting much bigger Iron, esp on the DB side. Ah well.

    Very curious that /. chose to use "free" distros. I would have thought SLES or RHEL would have been a consideration.

  24. Re:DUI laws are just the second coming of prohibit on Breathalyzer Source Code Revealed · · Score: 1

    That is really the stupidest thing I've ever heard anyone say on Slashdot (that's saying a lot).... good god you're a moron

  25. Solution to Linux Kernel Forking! on First Human Clone Eight Weeks Along · · Score: 1

    Seems Linus has been overwhelmed with kernel patches as of late, this could lead to the kernel forking. So..... let's clone him and make a beowolf cluster of Linus's!!!!!!
