  1. A little biased? on China Launches New Search Engine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    First search result for 'linux' is microsoft.com

    http://accoona.com/search?col=mc&qt=linux

  2. Re:In fact, I found a schematic for the network on BBC Begins Open-Source Streaming Challenge · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're interested in the guts of Dirac, here's a link to some documentation http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/dirac/documentati on/api/html/index.html

  3. Re:Wire Cutters on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 1

    In the interest of giving people some time to stop using the locks, the actual method of opening the lock is left up to the reader.

    Isn't that just like closing the source to a known software exploit?

  4. Free Press Prevails on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    These comments are proof that the /. community won't even let /. itself be unfair or biased. We the community are reasonable people, and even though slashdot doesn't *usually* throw flamebait at us, we aren't blind when it does. This is a bigger issue than ms vs. linux. It proves that the people of slashdot are really the intellectuals and the driving force behind a lucid outlook on the world. In accordance, stories should likewise be able to be moderated, as suggested beforehand.

  5. Dual-Use Technology on War: What Can Technology Do For Us? · · Score: 1

    There was an article in Newsweek a just a couple weeks ago about this very topic. The same technolgy we use for peaceful means empowers terrorists, it says. http://www.msnbc.com/news/629630.asp

  6. M$ has changed on Ballmer Claims Linux Is Top Threat To MS · · Score: 1

    The Microsoft which attacked OS/2 like a rabid pit bull is not the same Microsoft today. All empires must fall. They will fight, but there's a strong user base to be reckoned with when considering strengths of Linux vs. OS/2. Although they will probably win in the consumer market, the back end (servers and such) is Linux's territory.

  7. sympathy? on Diablo2: Apocalypse Now! · · Score: 1

    it's interesting to note how the people on those forums in general have noooo sympathy whatsoever for those affected... i can imagine that adds to the frustration... so what does one do? start over? or is it a message to stop playing d2 and go outside? that's actually how i think when i lose some huge piece of work. croydax

  8. Ads have changed on The Good Old Days..... · · Score: 1

    It's interesting to note how much wordage there is in these ads.. it seems like our attention spans today are on the short side, and we've been reduced to just specs and prices. i haven't seen nearly as much explanation of function in, let's say, a dell ad these days. has our attention span declined or has the average consumer gotten smarter? putic

  9. Pimps Up, Hos Down on Cool Cases At QuakeCon · · Score: 1

    You know what cases are really missing? Hydraulics! Then you'd really be kickin' it old skool -- take your case to pimp conventions, hop them side by side. Add burled walnut with gold and mahogany trip. Pimpin'!!
