  1. My sure fire plan on Facebook Cookies Track Users Even After Logging Out · · Score: 4, Insightful

    dont use facebook

  2. Re:Tracking systems? on NASA: Satellite Debris Probably Hit Pacific, But Room For Doubt · · Score: 1

    it wasnt a huge chunk, it was thousands of tiny chunks but thanks for playing

  3. XAMPP on Newb-Friendly Linux Flavor For LAMP Server? · · Score: 1

    just be sure to tighten its security before letting it loose, by default its as secure as a wet paper bag ... it runs on windows as well if it makes you feel more at home

  4. Re:When your OS begins to get relevant... on New Mac OS X Trojan Hides Inside PDFs · · Score: 1

    I watch way too many computer chronicles on the internet, its funny cause from the mid mid 80's (like 87 or so) until about 1993 the # 1 software in sales is SAM antivirus ... get ready .. FOR MAC

    anyone that says mac's dont get viruses is either ignorant or fucking stupid, they had a virus problem, and gee whiz they still do

  5. Re:This is a great idea on Are Folding Containers the Future of Shipping? · · Score: 2

    no I live in reality where it takes a minimum of a month to even find an empty container and it might take another month before its even on a boat, you might know that if you have ever scheduled them ...

    reality:
    container is scheduled, a minimum of a month passes
    you have 2 hours to load or 300 or so bucks in charges per hour
    2 months later it has managed to travel cross country in the USA
    Another month later its loaded onto a boat
    2 months later its received by Korea (in my position)
    Another month passes and its cleared by customs and delivered

    with a 6 month backlog just to make it from the east coast to Asia where is this magic surplus they claim? Hell I am still scheduling arrivals from last year.

  6. This is a great idea on Are Folding Containers the Future of Shipping? · · Score: 1

    If your only moving cargo one way, but we have already solved this problem, if the container is full it goes back, otherwise it sits cause there is no real reason to send an empty box (flattened or not) back empty... cause its freaking expensive.

    amazing how that works isn't it?

  7. Re:Offensive on Low-Latency Network Shaves Milliseconds from UK-Asia Traffic · · Score: 1

    yea boo hoo you state this horseshit every chance you get, obiously your not busy enough with your special grandchilderen or your awesome career so STFU already you bleeding heart

  8. Re:Why is there still microwave oven interference? on Wi-Fi Cards Can Now Detect Microwave Ovens · · Score: 1

    so what, celphones work on a different frequency, shielding is not the same as a Faraday cage

  9. Re:Why is there still microwave oven interference? on Wi-Fi Cards Can Now Detect Microwave Ovens · · Score: 1

    yes it is impossible to have perfect shielding, for your average 30$ microwave, and even if it would probably blow something open from steam pressure inside

  10. Re:Why have a calculator? on Ask Slashdot: Calculators With 1-2-3 Number Pads? · · Score: 1

    why even use a scripting language? you can do the exact same thing in bash and bc...

    come on man I am not even a *nix nerd and I know how to do that

    Fine we are not all *nix gurus (I sure as hell am not but see above) for you windows users try this in a cmd

    set /a 2+2 ... what does it output

    ayep 4

    thats it! hand in your geek card, you fail.

  11. Re:Ask Slahdot: Calculators with Rotary Dial? on Ask Slashdot: Calculators With 1-2-3 Number Pads? · · Score: 1

    hey now, I may be an asshole but not of that magnitude of an asshole

  12. Re:Ask Slahdot: Calculators with Rotary Dial? on Ask Slashdot: Calculators With 1-2-3 Number Pads? · · Score: 1

    you just gave me an awesome idea for a input device

  13. Re:Violation of ToS should not be a crime on Amendment: Violation of ToS Should Not Be a Crime · · Score: 2

    extortion is, which is what most TOS's are, see they never tell you that in order to use a product you bought you need to enter into a legal contract, and of course once you opened said product it instantly becomes used and getting any sort compensation for said product violates their rights. so at this point you either paid 60+ bucks for something you cant use, or you sign their contract.

  14. Re:Household equipment? on High School Student Launches a Trash Bag Aircraft · · Score: 1

    well you can buy them at the local big box hardware store ... and if you want to try it out without the gas just get a black bag, fill it up with air and set it in the sun for a little while, it will float off (yay Mr Wizard!)

  15. Re:A real problem? on Swedish Daycare Tracks Kids With GPS Devices · · Score: 1

    sounds like an easy target no one is looking for

  16. Re:The "What if Babbage..." link on Work Underway To Finally Build Babbage's Analytical Engine · · Score: 1

    since the pc was on the market in 81 I would say yes it was a bit late

  17. Re:18th century? on Work Underway To Finally Build Babbage's Analytical Engine · · Score: 1

    no edit button on slashdot?

  18. Mr Wizard did it first on High School Student Launches a Trash Bag Aircraft · · Score: 1

    well the trash bag part ... anyway this is pretty cool

  19. Magic bullets and wishes on Could Open Source Investment Save HP? · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a very short sighted idea in a moment of desperateness

  20. Re:doubt it on Opportunities From the Twilight of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    well like I stated in another post the tandy 1000 was out in 86 and it was 99.99999% compatible with the IBM bios, so it wasnt impossible, but it was rare to be both compatible and legal back then

    also dont forget AMI, American Megatrends might have predated Pheonix just a shade sooner

  21. Reports to be in the 300-500$ range on OCZ Wants To Cache Your HDD With an SSD · · Score: 1

    Good god why, cause they added the word cache to the label. That has to be wrong

  22. Re:Somebody tell the schools on One Third of UK Kids Under 10 Own a Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    well they are no longer the highest crime rate in the nation ... arguably since its next to death and a shitton of people moved out

  23. Re:Somebody tell the schools on One Third of UK Kids Under 10 Own a Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    ok fine, lets let your 5 year old wander aimlessly around Detroit for a few days, see how that works for you

  24. Re:doubt it on Opportunities From the Twilight of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    yea it ran flight simulator, I was a kid so I didnt do anything meaningful on it but play games (it was a old machine by the time I got it)

  25. Re:Low-hanging fruit & lazy Feds. on FBI Arrests LulzSec and Anonymous Hackers · · Score: 1

    yes I am sure there is only 1 team of FBI agents in the world and they only have time to deal with one thing between their shootings of criminal minds
