  1. Re:I like gmail. on Gmail vs Pine · · Score: 1

    If you're emailing anything incriminating using ANY email server, you're stupid. That's what GPG is for.

  2. Bias on The Microsoft Salary and Review System · · Score: 1

    If you can make it through the obvious bias...

    Heh. I'm reading slashdot aren't I? This article should be no problem.

  3. Whoa. on A New Biopaper for Organ Printing · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Fifth Element.

  4. Re:Here, have a trophy. on Yahoo's Geek Statue · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks to the new YAHOO! MAIL we can all give the competition something to kiss.

    So are they implying that Yahoo! Mail is total ass?

  5. Re:Content is king on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This whole thing sounds like the CIC database in Snow Crash.

  6. Re:FUD on You Need Not Be Paranoid To Fear RFID · · Score: 1

    Do you have any references to information to back that up? I'd like to read more about that.

  7. Re:Mistaken Identity! on You Need Not Be Paranoid To Fear RFID · · Score: 1

    From my understanding RFID tags are not unique. Like barcodes, the same number is on all the products of a certain model. So they can't find a specific jacket, just a type of jacket. Does anyone have any resources or information that says different?

  8. Re:Help me out here... on BitTorrent Gets $8.75M From Venture-Capital Firm · · Score: 1

    So just thinking about their business model here.. Do I get credit for helping them save bandwidth by sharing what I've downloaded with others? They're saving bandwidth by using mine, so what do I get out of it if i still have to pay for content and watch advertisments? If they can make it worth my time, this looks like a great idea.

  9. Re:SHC on Statically Charged Man Ignites Office · · Score: 1

    What kind of equipment do firefighters have that can measure the voltage in a static field?

  10. Re:Buy insurance before you criticize anyone publi on Doctors Sue Patients for Online Complaints · · Score: 1

    Oh great. If some asshat has this insurance and decides to tell lies about me, there's nothing I can do about it.

  11. can't be done. on Microsoft Aims for Hack-Proof 360 · · Score: 2, Funny

    My boss learned a long time ago that the fastest way to get a hacker to do something is to tell them that it can't be done.

  12. Backup on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    My backup was corrupt = I didn't have a backup, but I'm not going to tell you that.

  13. gettext on How Are You Accomplishing Your i18n? · · Score: 1

    If you want to use gettext with php, I wrote a very simple howto on the subject. http://ruistech.com/gettext/

  14. Tranfer more often. on How to Keep Music for Forty Years? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I'll be transfering my important data to different media more often than just every 45 years.
    When cds came out, I moved everything off my floppies onto CDs. This made it more convenient. I could pop in one cd instead of looking through a ton of floppies for what I wanted. Same thing with DVDRs. I'm moving everything onto them to be more convenient. Deleting all the crap I don't care about anymore. As far as file formats, some I don't use anymore. I've usually found something better, and make the switch.
    If the data is important, I'll convert it. Hopefully by some automated process. It's an ongoing process. Not something you do every 45 years.

  15. Re:The controller on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 4, Funny

    Did they design this controller so that when you got mad at the game and chucked the controller that it would come back to you?

  16. Whip it. on Homeless Wires? · · Score: 1

    My wife has given me until the end of the week to find a home for it or I have to take it to the dump.

    <audio src="whipcrack.wav"/>

  17. real geeks... on What Can You Do With $100? · · Score: 1

    take that money and 'hack' it into more money over time and then buy more expensive geek toys.

  18. nice price... on iCopulate Romances iPods, Executive Pong · · Score: 1

    ...on the iCopulate.

  19. fast, but not fast enough to notice. on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

    This thing takes about an hour to move the distance equal to it's diameter.

  20. Here's my vote. on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 2, Funny

    These guys seem to have a pretty nice gui for a graphic editing program.

  21. Re:Renaissance man! on Half-Life 2 Cookies · · Score: 1

    One who doesn't like video games as much as this guy.

    "You never spend any time with me."
    "One more frag baby."

  22. the real question on Police Disperse Bush Protesters with Pepper Paintballs · · Score: 1

    ...is where can I get some pepper paintballs?

  23. Richest Man in Babylon on Books that Changed Your Life? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason changed my entire concept of money and how to use it. It contains all the stuff you wish someone would have taught you growing up. It is written in parable form and is short and easy to read and understand, yet contains some very inspired text. Amazon Link

  24. Slashdot Ad on Free Certificate Authority Unveiled by Aussies · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is great: slashdot advertisement

  25. It's google on How Good is Gmail's Spam Filter? · · Score: 1

    If there's anyone that I think can create some software to intelligently determine if an email is spam or not, my first guess would be google. They seem to have a good track record of being able to sort the mess we call the Internet. Just give them some time. It's still beta after all.
