    Oh so that means about 20 ? Not bad! *grin*

  2. Re:Can we get some non-shoot-from-hip news? on Windows XP Flaw 'Extremely Serious' · · Score: 1

    It's a windows flaw. You're vulnerable even with firefox/eudora.

  3. Re:some funny math on National Archives' Digital Woes · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know, I know, I know!! Why don't they use Google Desktop!!?

  4. Re:+1 grammar on Intel Launches Pentium Extreme Edition 955 · · Score: 1

    its is a possessive like his or her
    it's is a contraction of 'it' and the present tense of the verb To Be 'is'

    "a run for it is money" doesn't sound that good does it?

  5. You know slashdot reached a new low... on Scientists Find Preserved Dodo Bird Bones · · Score: 1

    ...when you read the "news for nerds" first on some city's subway free newspaper... /days/ before!

  6. Re:All this will stop on the day... on Evolving Phishing Attacks Using Web Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    Quote1: /.that IE7 comes out with _it's_ phishing filter. :P/

    Quote2: /Grammar Lesson: "you're" is a contraction of "you are"; "your" means you possess something; "yore" means days gone by./

    My Grammar Lesson: "it's" is a contraction of "it is"; "its" means it possesses something;

    How come you're giving out grammar lessons when you make mistakes like this one?

  7. Re:Perjury is a Crime on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 0

    You're making assumptions. IANAL but I believe that there isn't such a thing as guilty because you look guilty.

    If I have 5 tvs at home and 3 tape recorders does that mean I bootleg tv shows? If I have 4 computers does that mean all of them are usable? Does that mean I'm a computer expert or am I just a professional who had to start using computers early in the game ? Does having high speed internet and a wifi setup means you're a computer expert? If you have ever worked in tech support you know that isn't true.

    Making assumptions is dangerous and that's exactly what Paramount is (and you are) doing. This guy is innocent until proven guilty.

  8. Re:The darn fool. on Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns · · Score: 1

    Apparently you're on category number 2.

  9. Re:OpenDoc != OpenDocument on IBM Stresses Importance of OpenDoc to MA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These posts (like the parent) are karma whoring... everyone already knows that OpenDoc is dead and that some people say OpenDoc as a shorthand of OpenDocument.

    Every single article which makes this mistake gets a whole book of this kind of posts. Enough already. Thank you.

  10. Re:The feature that Mozilla is still missing... on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    That's recognition by the extension of the file. Do I have to state the obvious and tell you that's extremely prone to simple exploits?

  11. Re:and who better than the US... on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    "War on Pornography", that's free speech alright.

  12. Re:in Canda? on Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million · · Score: 1

    Well... where else do you see baby seals being killed with sticks for their fur? Is that being enviro-hippie?

    You must be new here :)

  14. Re:Cat Problems on How to Cool Your PC with Dry Ice · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't know many dogs nor cats.
    And obviously you're a cliché-loving person.

  15. Re:Mon Calamar on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 1

  16. Release to Manufacture on New Longhorn Screenshots And Schedule · · Score: 1

    "Longhorn Client release to manufacturing (RTM)

    I guess most windows users will have the longhorn iso on the 25th then...

    Furthermore in Portugal you get exactly the same deal (except for the download cap which is 10%) for 50... This including, of course, phone line.

  19. This is Old on 3G Internet Access Via PCMCIA Card · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is old news for Europeans.
    This is old news for Americans.
    This is old news for Asians.
    This is old news for Africans.
    This is old news for Everyone.

    But it makes Slashdot's front page...

  21. Is it just me... on Can Infinium Compete In The Game Console Market? · · Score: 1

    ...or that's a 2003 article?

  22. There's one simple reason... on Microsoft Extends Product Lifecycle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...Longhorn.

    It would be somewhat amusing if 2K/XP reached EOL and Longhorn would still be "coming right up".

  23. FLT Selling? on Operation FastLink Yields Three Arrests · · Score: 1

    I don't think this all adds up. FLT is a release group which means that they don't need more than shells, access to topsites and cracking skills.

    They would never sell games nor they would need 100 cd copiers. It's part of the "code of honour".

    You could argue that this is just what they say but a 18 year-old group (yes that's right) was one that actually MADE the rules and not one that just followed.

    This is why I hate these articles. I'm positive that this doesn't have one single fact apart from the actual raid.

  24. Re:Support is easier on a mainframe. on IBM's Mainframe Dinosaur Turns 40 · · Score: 3, Informative

    For those who don't know what a PDP-11 is and are afraid to ask, it's a minicomputer (mainframe, mini and micro, a desktop is a micro) from DEC.
