  1. Probably a bug. on Netflix To Eliminate Profiles Feature · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would guess that it isn't working properly from their standpoint making it a PITA to maintain and deal with.

  2. Others may decry it, but I support it. on Bell, SuperMicro Sued Over GPL · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good work, Mr. Toth.

  3. Cool. on Windows XP Lives, Thanks to Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'll be checking out the new systems to see if they would make great portable multi-media systems.

  5. Oblig Simpsons quote. on Leaning Tower of Pisa Secure For 300 More Years · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I find that work perfectly cromulent."

  6. Media player. on nVidia Preview 'Tegra' MID Platform · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I'd be interested to know if it will support Ogg format music files.

    Somehow, I doubt it though.

  7. Re:thats a lot of sodium... on Building a Miniature Magnetic Earth · · Score: 1

    They actually did have a small file when some leaked out. The fire department was called, but they couldn't do anything.

  8. In other news... on Prototype EU Airplane Spy Cams Watch For Facecrime · · Score: 1

    Sales of Sharpies and other black magic markers that can be used to black out airplane seat cameras increased in the EU today.

  9. PITA! on Brain Interface Lets Monkeys Control Prosthetic Limbs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This is the kind of research they want to stop.

  10. I figured that happened. on LifeLock Spokesperson's Stolen ID Inspires Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    They stopped running all those adds on TV.

  11. How much impact will this have? on Greenpeace Complains Game Consoles Aren't Green Enough · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Probably none. You don't get and use a gaming console while "Thinking Green". You get it with the intent to have fun, depending on your definition of fun, and to escape the day-to-day. You think about the GPU response and what games are available.

    While you may think about saving the planet, you won't be thinking about the one Greenpeace wants you to think about saving.

  12. Sheesh on FBI Wiretapping Audit Secrets Uncovered Via Ctrl+C · · Score: 1
    You'd think that they would have learned by now.

    Your government dollars at work!

  13. One thing to hope for. on Canada Considering A Three Strikes And You're Off The Internet Policy? · · Score: 5, Funny
    how long will it be before similar laws are proposed in the US, with "everyone else is doing it" as part of the reasoning?"

    Maybe we can get one of those Canadian politicians to jump off a bridge?

  14. Solutions. on DVD Porn Viruses Ravage US Soldiers' Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hardware: Don't allow DVD drives.

    Software 1: Ummm, Anti-virus software? Hello?

    Software 2: Run a VM when accessing DVDs.

    Best: Run a Linux distro.

    Ok, I'm sure that these aren't necessarily the best solutions (except the last one) but it's something.

  15. Well. on Estimated World Population to Pass 6,666,666,666 Today · · Score: 4, Funny
    Probably a meta-beast.

    Or a meta-meta-beast.

  16. Easier to read version. on Windows XP SP3 Creating Havoc · · Score: 3, Informative
    Here.

    It has a banner add at the top, but at least it doesn't have the rest of the cruft on the page.

  17. Of all the countries.. on China's Cyberwar Against India · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of all the countries that could get attacked, you think that India could defend itself. I'm not being a troll here. They've done really well in the IT sector and they've got some pretty smart people there, so say the least.

  18. Re:Some sort of fact checking mechanism... on Darl McBride Takes the Stand In Novell v. SCO · · Score: 3, Funny

    We can issue everyone in the court one of those little suction cup guns and put color coded flags on the end of the cup. When you shoot the person on the stand with the gun, you have to present irrefutable proof that they are wrong in what they said. If that person gets too many hits, they are asked to stand down.

  19. I know why. on Storm Botnet Subsides For Now · · Score: 1
    People finally switching to Linux.

    Well, one can hope.

  20. Re:Interesting thought on Microsoft Helps Police Crack Your Computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Makes me curious as to what would happen if, for some reason, my computer were seized and the police booted up to an Ubuntu welcome screen... heh...

    They would probably post questions to "Ask Slashdot".

  21. Sorry. on SCO v. Novell Goes to Trial Today In Utah · · Score: 1

    but George H. W. Bush is on a speaking engagement today. Try back tomorrow.

  22. Well, if you ARE going to do something like that. on Kraken Infiltration Revives "Friendly Worm" Debate · · Score: 3, Insightful
    For goodness sakes.

    Don't tell anyone!!!

    All the lawyers in the world will converge on you if you do.

  23. Add free article. on Researchers Infiltrate and 'Pollute' Storm Botnet · · Score: 2, Informative
  24. Re:Little more than a stunt, really on House Republicans Renew Push for Telecom Immunity · · Score: 2, Interesting
    No one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the American public.

    I forget who made that quote, but it's still valid.

  25. This sounds like a job for.... on NASA Wants its MMO Created for Free · · Score: 1
    ...Google!!

    Seriously, I think that this is really something that Google could go for and succeed with.
