  1. Re:Not So Fast... on Google Backs Down On Maps Redirect · · Score: 2

    Clear your cache and wait for the DNS to catch up.

  2. Hoi polloi on Critical Vulnerabilities In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, CryEngine 3 · · Score: 1

    The common will always serve the main. Please continue to serve up your shiny hardware for use, as if you even had a clue to what it means to open up ports to arbitrary root level apps. Bitches.

  3. Coral cache caught it (no pun intended) on 5000 fps Camera Reveals the Physics of Baseball · · Score: 1
  4. Whooooh, hot potato! on Modest Proposal For Stopping Hackers: Get Them Girlfriends · · Score: 1

  5. Dilbert feels our pain on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 2
  6. Most redditors were in fact trying to help him on Reddit Subpoenaed In Wrongful Death Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Informative

    His final posts can be read on http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/qoixk/a_lot_of_trolls_tonight/ Looking through it I get the sense that people were trying to reach out and tried to persuade him from killing himself. TFA makes it sound as though everyone was cheering him on. Those few who trolled got severely downvoted. I can't see how reddit nor its users are in any way responsible for his death. Rather seems like his family is out to find a scapegoat. Where were they when he needed help and support?

  7. Memory hog on Animated Presentations Using SVG · · Score: 1

    It's really cool and I really, really like SVG, but byt slide 10 it had eaten all of my memory. Probably a memory leak/dodgy implementation in FF.

  8. Re:Agreed. on Van Rossum: Python Not Too Slow · · Score: 1

    True, and like the saying goes; Never a mod point when you need one.

  9. Re:Dear Slashdot on Linux From Scratch 7.1 Published · · Score: 1

    Click the comment title, Einstein.

  10. Counter-counter-counter spin on Is Stratfor a "Joke"? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... is what this article is.

  11. Concerned Women for America (CWA) on EA, Nintendo, Sony Quietly Withdraw SOPA Support · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    That's just about the ass-hattiest name I've ever heard. Was half expecting to see the yes men mentioned in the wikipedia article, but they seem to be for real. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.

  12. Re:WTF is "ISO C"? on ISO Updates C Standard · · Score: 1

    Never a mod point when you need one.

  13. Wikipedia article on EFF Reverse Engineers Carrier IQ · · Score: 1

    Why isn't there a wikipedia page on Carrier IQ, the software? There's only one on the company? Wiki wars?

  14. Oh Slashdot, what have you become? on How To Thwart the High Priests In IT · · Score: 2

    Who are your readers nowadays?

  15. Bullshit detector goes beep on MIT's New Camera Can Take 1 Trillion Frames Per Second · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I watched the video and can only conclude that it doesn't make any sense at all. Slow motion video of a moving photon? Give me a break.

  16. Re:Why the GNOME 3 hate? on Linux Mint 12 to Blend GNOMEs 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    I thought I read somewhere that you can not in fact have more than one terminal window open. Haven't tried it myself, though.

  17. Re:300.000 on In Bolivia, a Supervolcano Is Rising · · Score: 1
  18. But who is anonymous this time? on Anonymous Claims Responsibility For WikiLeaks Attack · · Score: 1

    That's the thing with anonymity, isn't it? Anyone can be anonymous on the internet. Isn't one of the main ideals behind anonymous that it cannot be false-flagged? Notice how the media and even /. is trying their hardest to portray anonymous as a single, organized group.

  19. Re:Too many links. on Mozilla's Nightingale: Why Firefox Still Matters · · Score: 1

    Dumkopf!

  20. Product pics? on Samsung Chromebook Series 5 Review · · Score: 1

    Was there really no photos af the actual product?

  21. Re:And they do that with socialized medicine! on Infertile Daughter To Receive Uterus From Mother · · Score: 1

    As in "please choose between fertility and infertility"?

  22. Harvesting on Facebook Adds Two-Factor Authentication · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As someone pointed out in the article comments; This enforces fb's agenda to have its users submit as much personal info as possible to them.

  23. RIFLE IS FINE on Robo-Gunsight System Makes Sniper's Life Easier · · Score: 5, Funny
  24. Priorities on IPv6 Traffic Remains Minuscule · · Score: 1

    For the players of the internet infrastructure market ipv6 is uninteresting. They've divided the v4 address space between them and have crafted strategies to dominate the market. This is nothing exceptional or strange, but rather applied business strategy. I'd bet that they're willing and even motivated to fight v6 adoption for the purpose of maintaining their position at current terms of technological environment. As they see it, v4 is delimited to something ownable, controllable. V6 is for them something that would reset the playing field and make a significant portion of their investments obsolete.

  25. Why is dd not sufficient? on The 'Three Ton' Hard Drive Destroyer · · Score: 1
