  1. Re:it's a good thing ... on Justice Department Promises Stronger Copyright Punishments · · Score: 1

    Riiiiiight, because possessing leaves of the aforementioned plant is just as bad as stabbing somebody.

  2. Not to mention... on Global Warming Debunked? · · Score: 1

    The start of that article is the time-old "I'm a lifelong XXX but..." canard. Doesn't bode well for an article's reliability.

    I'll pass.

  3. Re:C'mon, Slashdot on Hans Reiser Arrested On Suspicion of Murder · · Score: 1

    Well, some people believe making them criminals suffer is more important than the good of society. I call that personality disorder Punishism.

  4. Re:Linux version of acroread seems fine on Hacker Finds Multiple PDF Backdoors · · Score: 1

    The article has two testcases. The second uses Windows ODBC so, unsurprisingly, fails. The first is supposed to open a web page automatically, but I'm presented with a dialogue asking me if I really want to open it (and the URL is identified in the dialogue). This seems to be good behavior. Did Adobe get things right on Linux & not on Windows? That's got to be a first.

    Same here (RPM version 7.0.1-1), except the dialog box does NOT say what URL is going to be opened. And it refuses to save any browser preferences.

    Of course, my default viewer is GGV.

  5. Re:Do you have _any_ evidence of that? on Google Brazil Pressured to Give Up Names · · Score: 1

    In Brazil we don't have a president that does illegal wiretaps and even admits that publicly nor companies disclosing personal information about without permission nor Guantanamo, so I feel my freedoms are better respected here than in the USA. ;)

    I think likewise. Now excuse me while I go pay a beer to my 19 year old friend.

  6. Re:And on Playing The Escape · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll see your Cube and raise you this.

  7. Re:I tried to let this go... on Publishers Say 'Fact-Checking Too Costly' · · Score: 1

    A teacher has to choose a single book, which is protected under copyright

    Let's not assume this is gospel truth.

    What keeps a teacher from saying, "Here's the list of Calculus books that have the required topics of this semester: A, B, C, D, and E. Feel free to choose."

    If the teacher is anything above mediocre, s/he'll be able to actually teach a subject, instead of parroting a textbook. That way, free choice can be maintained.

  8. Wonder if DR-DOS will be there or... on Gates Donates $15M to Preserve Computing History · · Score: 1

    ...when the curator tries to include it, a nasty guard will shout "ILLEGAL OPERATION!" - but not actually stop him from doing anything.

  9. Re:Checksums are always going to be vulnerable on Practical Exploits of Broken MD5 Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Yes, for example Whirlpool

    Hey, it was made by a Brazilian! Cool!

  10. Re:Checksums are always going to be vulnerable on Practical Exploits of Broken MD5 Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Well, then that brings us to the 1,000,000,000 Dollar Question:

    Is there a BETTER hash function out there than MD5 and SHA1?

  11. Re:one more thing. on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    What about Orrin Hatch's idea of computers that explode when they detect copyright infringement?

    THAT is literally a killer application.

  12. Re:Yeah whatever... on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    Also freeipcall.com. There's probably many others.

  13. Nah. Mandrivoris. on Mandriva Buys Assets from Lycoris · · Score: 1

    You read it here first.

  14. Re:Beautiful on Could Apple's Intel Desktop Threaten Linux? · · Score: 1

    First of you can't install a application as a user, now how stupid is that?

    Man.

    You DO realize you just said computer security is stupid, don't you? What do you do for a living, write viruses?

  15. It isn't OSS, it's vaporware. on Microsoft Collaborates On Child Porn Buster · · Score: 1

    Where IS this software? WHAT exacvtly does it do? I want to take it and adapt it so Brazilian police can use it too. Well? Where is the download link? Tha article is nothing but meaningless PR blahblah.

    OSS my ass.

  16. Re:DiDio = Shill on Yankee Group Survey Says Windows, Linux TCO Equal · · Score: 1

    Crap, this is the SCO fangirl we're talking about. If she tells you 2+2=4, check with a calculator. Twice.

  17. Re:Your Opinion Doesn't Count on Australian ISPs Required To Report Child Porn · · Score: 1

    as though there is some continuous spectrum of grownups dressed up as kids through to pictures of 10 year olds in suggestive poses.

    Uh, last time I checked people DID grow up in a continuous fashion.

    The world isn't black-and-white. There IS such a thing as a gray area in almost ANYTHING, whether you like it or not.

  18. Re:Don't demonise them on Australian ISPs Required To Report Child Porn · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope that you will at least wait until they are convicted.

    Rule of law? That's for liberal terrorist-lovin', latte-drinking pedophile defenders. Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. You're either with us or against us.</sarcasm>

  19. Ahhh, the essence of Capitalism... on Verizon-Pushed WiFi Bill Becomes Law in PA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yet another reason to suspect .

  21. Re:Oh no! on Indymedia Seizures Initiated In Europe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You fail to fully understand the mind of the /. RW Troll. For them, not only everything leftist is evil, but everything evil must be leftist too.

  22. Re:We WANT high labor costs! It's a Good Thing! on The Jobs Crunch · · Score: 1

    I went there.

    It IS great.

    Spain, Netherlands, Germany... (gasp) FRANCE!

    Great infrastructure, public transportation, high standard of living... this isn't Pravda talking about the wonders of the Worker's Paradise, it's the real deal.

    And that's why RW people hate the place so much.

  23. Re:Nuclear energy works! on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    And we all know that rockets never blow up or otherwise fail on launch.

    And we need no energy to send them up there either.

    Why not? See: "Darl McBride said Linux is evil."
