  1. Re:Computer First, Phone Second on 3G Is A Dog, And Other Truths · · Score: 1

    I'd like to point out that the Ultra Sparc mentioned went the way of most of our boy Erasei's equipment, and is now inoperable.

    Frying electronics seems to be a hobby of his; I'd have to say that flood-damage to a NIC is a new and amazing height (depth?) though.

  2. Re:Nimrod on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 1

    Nope, it fucks with anyone who uses nested threads, regardless of location :)

  3. Re:MODERATION screwup on ZeroKnowledge to Discontinue Anonymity Service · · Score: 1

    Well, I just metamoderated him (unfair, obviously), so hopefully next time he'll think twice when moderating.

    It was a statement by the AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE, pointing out the fact the /. editors had removed part of his submission that someone then suggested.

    How the hell can that possibly be 'Off-topic'?

  4. Re:they don't need blood anymore on Slashback: Python, Giveaway, Collection · · Score: 1

    That's crap.

    Yes, the people at ground zero right now aren't going to need blood, but the (hundreds of?) people who sustained burns or injuries will.

    Burns victims need a lot of plasma products, and a lot of blood is used in operations. Their already low stocks will have likely been wiped out on day 1 by the influx of injured.

    Keep giving blood - those who pushed back elective surgery for the emergency cases will appreciate it.

  5. Re:If only we can find good applications on A Stateless IP Phone In The Works From AT&T · · Score: 2, Insightful

    VNC was developed a LONG time ago by Olivetti Research Labs.
    It's always been free; what I'm surprised at is that when AT&T took over, they allowed active development of a free tool.

    I've been using it in one shape or another on various platforms since '98. It's possibly the only application I can say I've used on a regular basis for that entire time.

  6. Re:Software protection? on The Joys Of Losing Your Cooling Device · · Score: 1
    Yeah, if you run 'doze, there's a utility called Motherboard Monitor, and I've been using it for a couple years now.

    Highly configurable, and you can get it to page you when your computer's burning :)

  7. Re:My Country, Right or Wrong on Preserve Your Rights Online - Act Now · · Score: 1
    On a more serious note, what makes people think a fundamentalist Islamic group would hide pictures in porn? Wouldn't that require them to go against most of their fundamental beliefs and actually look at nakedness and fornication?

    What makes you think looking at nakedness and fornication would bother people who have shown they're willing to ignore the Islamic teachings regarding murder?

    You might want to mention you have to register for that link.

    Grabbed it elsewhere, and mirrored it:

    Who want's Pork Chops

    This quote from everyone's mate Bob says it all.

  11. Re:oh c'mon... on Code Red II: Shells for the Taking · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You really think that someone who reads slashdot won't have patched their system by now if they were going to?
    Anyone who pays any attention to the media has patched their system. The fact that there are so many people htting my box (and everyone else's) just shows how many totally uninformed idiots there are out there.

  12. Re:Gee.. I feel unloved (uninfected) on Confidentiality on Virus Sent Docs? · · Score: 1

    Well, I've had 173 of them from one guy (to 3 different accounts). This is despite 2 emails telling him about it. Still, the only way I know I've 'had' 173 of them is my mail logs dropping them into the nearest bit bucket :)

  13. Re:Ads which annoy don't sell on Pop Up Advertising Continues to Suck · · Score: 1

    Man, it's at times like this I wish I had mod points. ROFL. Sums the kid up in one.

  14. Re:Authorities know what you're browsing in the U. on Sklyarov Arrest Follow-up · · Score: 1

    They had her computer - I'm pretty sure checking her browser cache is all they had to do.
