  1. Unless you can make money doing it.

  2. Re:Serious question on Missouri Considers Hyperloop Route Between St. Louis and Kansas City (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    KC BBQ

  3. Re:Excellent on Google Bans Ads For Payday Loans (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Please !

  4. The Anti-Encryption Spin Begins on Paris Attacks Would Not Have Happened Without Crypto (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This is spin from the government, looks a bit coordinated. Here is more "news" note the author interviews a DOJ contractor as an expert. It attacks Apple's undo burden argument. http://www.usatoday.com/story/...

  5. Spin-off as in "Circling the drain"? on Yahoo To Spin Off Everything That Makes It Yahoo (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Core Yahoo is nothing. It will just circle the drain until someone snaps it up for cheap.

  6. Divest of Electrical Use Too? on Stanford Getting Rid of $18 Billion Endowment of Coal Stock · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does this mean Standford will divest itself from the use of electricity too? Or is this just a hypocritical publicity stunt?

  7. Re:Oh, look! Just what the economy needs! on Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Congressional Elections · · Score: 2

    Our 11 person firm had our policy cancelled due to ACA and we were forced to choose a different one for 30% more per year. Does anyone in Washington know who really creates jobs in this country? HINT: its not companies with more than 50 employees.

  8. Re:Don't rely on security-though-obscurity on SSH Password Gropers Are Now Trying High Ports · · Score: 1

    We see thousands of attempts all day, every day. Its just part of being on the net. Fail2ban has been pretty effective for us. You can configure it easily to set up "move on" rules for the bots and not blow your leg off because you mistyped a couple times.

  9. Re:Wait a second... on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, those of us that like both Star Wars & Star Trek are thinking, "hrrm, Episode 7 has a chance now of not sucking."

    His Star Trek reboot sucked. He can now kill both franchises in their reboots.

  10. I can't get a refund on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Beef With Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    My biggest beef with my Windows phone is that I cannot return it for a refund.

  11. Re:Why even? on Jury May Be Deadlocked In Oracle-Google Trial · · Score: 4, Informative

    Unanimous means all jurors, not a majority.

  12. Re:Not much to do on Ask Slashdot: Is There a War Against Small Mail Servers? · · Score: 1

    enec is 100% right. 99.99% of all port 25 traffic from cable modems is from spambots running on compromised PCs. Comcast, AOL, et al. will never again accept email from address blocks that represents non-commercial users or cable modems, no matter what things you try, static IP, DKIM, SPF or white listing.

  13. Shouldn't this be an April 1st post on Slashdot ? on Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed · · Score: 2

    Shouldn't this be an April 1st post on Slashdot ?

  14. English Translation on North Korea Says War With South Would Go Nuclear · · Score: 1

    "Please give us more money and aid!"

  15. Served by Pulse 360 on Fake News Scam Sites Advertising On Real News Sites · · Score: 3, Informative

    For your amusement, here is another one that is running: http://the-daily-tribune.com/breaking/13/?t202id=4693&t202kw=6417707

    I see a ton of these ads served by a company called Pulse 360.

  16. Class Action Suit on NSI Registers Every Domain Checked · · Score: 1

    Where are the class action lawyers when you actually need one?

    Anyone 'dotters actually harmed by this practice ?

  17. Micro$oft BotNet on Microsoft Forces Desktop Search On Windows Update · · Score: 1, Troll

    After reading the article I was struck by how it all sounds like a botnet being assembled. How ironic is that?

  18. Re:crazy on Microsoft Buys Ad Firm for $6 Billion · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually that $5.45 for every Internet user on the planet (1.1 billion).

  19. Yet Vista Install Base in China is 100,000 on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 1

    Only 244 copies sold, yet there is probably an install base of 100,000 users already.

  20. Re:I love the media! on Net Neutrality Is Just "Mumbo Jumbo" · · Score: 1

    90%

    Seriously. The industry knows it. That is why they made and are running the ad. If you think the general populace has any idea what Net Neutrality is about, you spend too much time on Slashdot. The commercial will leave the unknowledgeable with one message "Net Neutrality = Costs Me More Money". Unfortunately I would venture to guess that 90% of people fall into that category. The real hope for Net Neutrality rests with the lobbyist of the big media and network sites.

  21. Re:What? on RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    Apparently you are.

  22. Re:Moral: on Using Laptops to Steal Cars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unfortunately, friendly Democratic senators are sponsoring a plan where the federal government will buy a laptop for thieves that do not have their own. ;-)

  23. Re:OneCare on Symantec Rethinks Firefox vs IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Perhaps the Symantec marketing trolls have embarked on a subtle campaign to undermind the general public's trust in Micro$oft's ability to deliver secure products. Basically a "Who do you trust?" positioning of themselves against OneCare Live. Strange as it may seem Joe Six Pack probably does not have the Slashdot crowd's contempt for Micro$oft's ability to deliver secure products, thus leaving some room for Symantec to discredit them.

  24. Google Sight Seeing on How to Discover Impact Craters with Google Earth · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you just want to look at cool stuff with Google Maps/Earth, without the searching. This place www.googlesightseeing.com has tons of cool stuff found in Google Maps/Earth.
