  1. LAWL on Bad BitDefender Update Clobbers Windows PCs · · Score: -1, Troll

    I use Linux so this naturally does not effect me! Linux is the only security I need, unlike that Mick€y$£oth garbage you lamers insist on using.

    There are more beetles grubbing in shit, too. Do you have a point?

    And what's funnier still is that no one likes Opera or really gives a fuck about it.

    Christ, you sound like an AA meeting.

    Steve must produce additional sizes of iPod Touch before they can join to form iVoltron.

    The cancer that is killing slashdot or the AIDS that is killing slashdot? You decide!

    Or maybe your issues have nothing to do with this update or the rootkit.

    Or, you could have listened to the fucking speaker where he flat out SAID they demoed that in 2007.

  11. Re:Too bad they're only fixing a symptom on Nexus One Update Fixes 3G, Adds Multitouch · · Score: 1

    You probably ran into a provisioning problem. T-Mobile has a real problem keeping accounts set up in a way that consistently works.

  12. Re:This would have been a great start on How To Spread Word About My FOSS Project? · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is not a place to advertise. I hate nothing more than finding some old abandoned turd of a project linked there when any commercial software links are removed.

    Go kill yourself. Seriously.

  14. Re:well super on Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final · · Score: 1

    Gaining write access to the appropriate parts of the system isn't the problem. Finding out that I'm three security updates behind on my home machine is.

  15. Re:well super on Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ahh, slashdot. Come for the condescension, stay for the pedantry. Unpriveleged users don't get offered or notified of updates in 3.5. You can't even use the built in facility to manually check for an update. It is actually less secure to use Firefox as an unpriveleged user than it is to run as an admin unless you actively go and see what the latest release is.

  16. Re:well super on Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final · · Score: 1

    Lots of other apps know how to elevate to administrator using UAC. Even a notification that an update is available would be swell. Graying out the check for updates menu item.... not so swell.

    Is it possible to check for updates as a normal user on Windows yet?

  18. Re:I was hoping for a new business model on Google's Nexus One Phone Launches · · Score: 1

    You call them and switch your rate plan. Then they charge you $35 for the privilege. The phrase "nickel and diming cocksuckers" may or may not have been used when I did this.

    Another fucking ESPN for me to be forced to pay for and never watch.

  20. Re:So only XP is out of luck? on HDD Manufacturers Moving To 4096-Byte Sectors · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest seeing if someone ported the troll kernel module from 2.4 so you can try it yourself. Maybe 2010 will be the year of desktop linux trolling.

    Now they'll let me put it on our production 2008 boxes. No more RDP to do every little thing!

  23. Re:Pretty deceiving on Firefox 3.5 Now the Most Popular Browser Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Every other app I can think of downloads it's updates and elevates when the installer is ready. One prompt and its updated.

    Firefox updates suck ass. They aren't even offered if you don't run as an admin on Windows.

    Some of us have jobs that involve lots of users. I wouldn't want to put together more than two or three boxes, let alone hundreds or thousands of them.
