  1. "Press time"? on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1
    (I contacted Paul Vixie to ask about AboveNet and how it uses the RBL, but he refused comment, sending me to AboveNet PR, who didn't get back to me by press time.)

    So, you decided to post the article anyway rather than wait for a response from the individuals who you are attacking? That doesn't seem like very good journalism to me. Isn't this exactly the sort of thing that caused massive confusion in our recent election? Slashdot has an advantage over traditional media in that it is not time-limited with regard to its stories. I would hope that they are not becoming bound by the less idealistic versions of so-called "journalism" we find all too often in the world today.

  2. Re:The joy of a tight labor market. on The LEGO Desk · · Score: 2
    If I had that kind of power I wouldn't waste it on a stupid LEGO desk. What about a better computer, or health benefits, or stock. Not some useless and impractical piece of plastic furniture.

    Honestly, some people just don't deserve their "good fortune".

  3. Re:I can't remember... on Sir Alec Guinness Dies · · Score: 2

    The IMDB is your friend.

  4. Re:PS/2 take two on Slashback: Speed, Reprieves, Geometry · · Score: 1
    PS/2 = yesterday's hardware today

    OS/2 = yesterday's software tomorrow

    or something like that

  5. a waste on SETI@Home -- Running On A PCI Card · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't such an effort be better directed towards running a distributed.net client on this? Codebreaking is far more important and relevant today than searching for extraterrestrial lifeforms (which we wouldn't understand anyway).

  6. Re:SOLAR FLARE SUES NAPSTER on Solar Flare May Produce Geomagnetic Storm · · Score: 1
    Ordinarily I wouldn't respond, but...

    have you considered therapy?

  7. This changes nothing on Intel Tests Show PC133 SDRAM Bests RDRAM · · Score: 1

    Please, like slashdot readers never complain about misleading benchmarks like Mindcraft. The simple truth is that in most real-world applications, Rambus handily outperforms PC133 DIMMs, and is worth the extra expense (which means little to companies who want the extra bandwidth).

  8. Re:StaffMart is cranking these out. on Slashback: Bits, Bytes, Words · · Score: 1

    whatever, I know people making $50K for desktop support that don't have a degree let alone certification. MCSE is a joke.

  9. Re:Helping Individuals and Organizations Succeed on nVidia Strikes Deal With Apple · · Score: 1

    Were Jo, Mike and Jason the inspiration for those goofy MCP action figures a while back?
