  1. MPAA's most successful tactic... on Canadian Movie Piracy Claims Mostly Fiction? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Make movies so horrible no one would bother recording it.

  2. TIme for a hybrid player on FCC Nixes Satellite Radio Merger · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can get a stereo that can play DTS and Dolby 5.1, I can get a quad-band cell phone. Perhaps it is time to make players that support both, then you can pick and choose, based on who has the best content.

    Choose your car based on pre-installed satellite radio? That's hard core.

  3. Re:Backbone on Lessig On Net Neutrality · · Score: 0

    Yes, your right, and this is the hole in his theory.

    Unless the Munis planned to create their own backbone and separate internet, his points are moot.

    His analogy would fit the browser wars better than the OS wars.

  4. Re:WOW! on Cisco Sues Apple Over iPhone Trademark · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... Someone must read Slashdot.

  5. WOW! on Cisco Sues Apple Over iPhone Trademark · · Score: 5, Informative

    I googled the lawyer who filed this for Cisco/linksys, scroll down for her list of clients!

  6. Very small often != very good benefits on Google Tops 100 Best Places To Work · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you are looking for benefits specifically, most starups and small companies can not afford top-tier health insurance and dental insurance, and usually you have to kick in a whole lot for your percentage.

  7. Heh, filler on Top U.S. Tech Cities · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How did this filler article get on Slashdot?

    They have icons in the article that don't appear in the legend. AUSTIN has a spot for an icon without an icon. Somehow, the Bay Area doesn't have a university rating, even though it has Stanford and Cal.

    I could go on, but I wasted enough of my time, and yours.

  8. Re:Defrosters on Blue Origin Release Flight Videos · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's powered by H2O2.

  9. Just One on Spam Volume Jumps 35% In November · · Score: 1
  10. Tradeoff... on Procedural Textures the Future of Games? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are trading file size for CPU performance. While the impact of reduced file sizes are clear, the impact on CPU is not. The question is, is our ability to add storage and bandwidth slower than our ability to add CPU and memory?

    I think storage and bandwidth will start winning over CPU as we seem to have hit another Ghz wall and are throwing cores at the problem. While RAM, hard disk and flash are all getting cheaper and bigger at a faster rate.

  11. Re:Marilyn Hall Patel... on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 1

    yea, that's right. What is it with judges with three names?

  12. Marilyn Hall Patel... on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 1, Informative

    ...was also the second Judge for US v. Microsoft.

  13. Re:Slashdot on Google Winning By Losing? · · Score: 1

    Just wait a day...

  14. How much of SpyGlass is left in IE7? on Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As I recall, Microsoft licensed SpyGlass browser code as the basis for Internet Explorer. Is there any of it left, or have you finally rewritten all the IE code?

  15. Re:Still Mechanical Conversion to Energy on Two Tiny Gas Turbines · · Score: 1

    Fuel cells are still very hot (at least in the reformation process).

    Not only the heat, but am I going to have to get my notebook smogged?

  16. Re:You can never do away with a firewall. Ever. on How to Cheat at Managing Information Security · · Score: 1

    All these things you mention are symptoms and solutions to poor application design.

    Why do you want to limit a service to a few IPs? The service should securly challenge the identity of the user. IP address is a poor identity mechanism.

    Why do you want to add functionalliy for DoS and stateful examination of network traffic to the application? The application should not be vulnerable to these thigs in the first place.

  17. Maybe they should have tested it more... on Microsoft Patches VML Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Informative

    Installing the patch crashes svchost on my system.

  18. Re:x.509 certificates . . . on Can Banks Shift Phishing Losses to Customers? · · Score: 1

    Too hard to use and not portable.

    How about SecurID, like e*trade.

  19. Re:Compatibility on TiVo Announces High-Def Series3 DVR · · Score: 1

    CableCard is a federal mandate. It will support all cable companies who provide a digital signal.

    And at $800 they are going to lose their shirt.

  20. Re:Strace?! on Sun Wins Top Tech Innovation Award · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yea, this is the Wall Street Journal. It's like that old joke about Hollywood Squares: "According to Redbook, what is Plank's constant?" Not really an authoritative source on technical innovation.

  21. Mmmmmm.... DUF on Humanity Gene Found? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Homer must be saying, "Told you so. We are not human without DUF".

  22. Re:Curse you EA on Molyneux Talks Reviving Classic Games · · Score: 1

    Yea, how about Wing Commander! I loved that game.

  23. Re:OLPC? on Power Scheme for OLPC Project Falling Into Place · · Score: 1

    Yea, I thought it was OLED at first.

  24. Wow on Intel To Lay Off 1000 Managers · · Score: 1

    Sounds like an org chart foldin.

    Take your org chart.
    Turn it sideways.
    Fold it so that a level of management is missing.

    Viola! Org chart foldin!

  25. Heh, auctions.google.com on eBay Bans Google Payments · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why sue them when they can probably implement auctions.google.com in much less time. I am pretty sure google could implement a much better auction setup than eBay, and the kicker? They won't ban you from using paypal.
