  1. That's a cool device on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 1

    Gives new meaning to the term "hot plugging".

  2. Don't worry about speeding it up just yet. on Speeding up Evolution · · Score: 1

    First fix the bug that allows an active cursor in the To, Subject and body fields all at the same time. It drives me nuts. I can never get to the one I actually want. grrrr...

  3. Tell them what you think of this on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 1

    You can make a product suggestion regarding this. Remember, keep it polite or they'll consider you a nut and ignore you.

  4. A view from the edge on SOHO Strikes Back · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What struck me while watching the video was that every instance of a "saucer shaped object" was very clearly viewed edge on. As is the case with images of galaxies, real space craft would be viewed from many different angles. The fact that each and every image is viewed edge on proves that they are not what they may look like.

    Just try 'whois microsoft.com | more'

  8. This is exactly what I needed today. on What happens When You Cook Your Palm Pilot · · Score: 1

    Today is my daughters birthday. I gave her guess what... a palm pilot.

    Thanks a lot Slashdot. I feel much better now.

  9. Acceptable risk on Who Wants To Be An Oregonian? · · Score: 1

    Hardware systems are rated by mean time between failures. Could this be applied to software systems? If so what would be an acceptable time between failures for a software security system to hold sensitive data of this nature?

  10. Did anyone actually read the MS email? on MS Wants To Know Whose PC Is Windows-Free · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who read the following line in the email from Microsoft?

    By submitting bids that request PC systems without an Operating System due to a Microsoft site license, you can earn points and win!

    Microsoft isn't simply looking for people ordering naked PC's. They're after those who say they don't need to pay for an MS OS. Now whether they have the right to install an OS due to owning a site license is another issue. But let's not the facts wrong here folks.

    I'm gonna patent sex. Then I'll just sit back, relax and live off all you perverted bastards.

  13. They're finally bringing this to market? on Logitech's "Mouse that Feels" · · Score: 1

    I saw a working unit at a USB plugfest about a year ago. It seemed very nearly complete at that time. I wonder what took them so long.

  14. Let's apply his methods to Windows on Linux Sux Redux: A Rebuttal · · Score: 1

    If we do the same with all versions of Windows we would combine the non-NT vunerabilities (46) with double the NT vunerabilities (99) for a total of 244. That's exactly double the number he gives for Linux

  15. License doesn't apply to source on Borland C++ Can No Longer Be Used To Make Free Software? · · Score: 1

    The license clearly states "GENERAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO COMPILED PROGRAMS AND REDISTRIBUTABLES". It does not apply to source code that is genned or written by hand.
