  1. Re:SarBox? on SarBox Lawsuit Could Rewrite IT Compliance Rules · · Score: 1

    Agree. Don't make up your own abbreviation when there is already a standard one.

  2. Shallow Linking on US Congressman Announces Plans To Probe Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Is there some reason we can't link to the original content? When I click on a link in an article about Wikileaks releasing pager messages, I assume it is going to Wikileaks. As Slashdot, however, I get a link to a previous article that then has a link pointing to a Wired article.

  3. Re:Wishful thinking on After 35 Years, Another Message Sent From Arecibo · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not in my lifetime.

  4. Prius shaped on Electric Car Nano-Batteries Aim For 500-Mile Range · · Score: 1

    I predict the electric car produced with this battery will look like a Prius, since it has an excellent coefficient of drag, so good, Honda chose to copy it for the new insight.

  5. Re:higher test scores with a simple sacrafice-NCLB on Obama Makes a Push To Add Time To the School Year · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yet, a Chinese dropout can get a manufacturing job, make enough money in ten years to retire in the lifestyle they are accustomed to and call it a life.

    Leave a kid behind here and they are done.

    We should just send them to China.

  6. MUX? on "Time Telescope" Could Boost Fibre-Optic Communications · · Score: 3, Informative

    The abstract of the actual article is a little more informative, but still makes strange claims. I think they can compress a 10Ghz electrical signal into a 270GHz optical signal, with obvious ramifications in multiplexing, as you can then take 27 such signals at a time (theoretically).

  7. Original Motion on Court Appoints Pro Bono Counsel For RIAA Defendant · · Score: 4, Interesting
    The original motion is quite well written. I especially like this part:

    "Additionally, because criminal behavior on the part of the Plaintiffs may have occurred, I require assistance for qualified counsel appointed by the Courts."

  8. Re:calculations wrong I think on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 1

    Km is 1000 meters.

    I think you are thinking of 10,000 ft (10Kft?)

  9. But... on String Theory Predicts Behavior of Superfluids · · Score: 4, Funny

    on page 642 of the second book, they divide by zero, so back to the drawing board.

  10. this on What Do You Do With a Personal Domain? · · Score: 2, Interesting
  11. Kobayashi Maru? on NSA Wages Cyberwar Against US Armed Forces Teams · · Score: 5, Insightful

    NSA tailored its attacks to be just 'a little too hard for the strongest undergraduate team to deal with, so that we could distinguish the strongest teams from the weaker ones.'

    Nobody wins, but lets see how long you hold out.

  12. Re:smart? on The Pirate Bay Seeks Interesting Route To "Pay" Fine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sue who? I have never heard of a class action where the defendant was the "class".

  13. Prior Art: .htaccess on Lala Invents Network DRM · · Score: 1

    How is this different than a password protected website or RealMedia servers that were broadcast only?

  14. Looking foward to TurboCOBOL on Borland Being Purchased By Micro Focus · · Score: 1

    Cause, that would be awesome.

  15. Re:Not too worried on Bill Would Declare Your Blog a Weapon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Until Apple find your criticism of the iPhone hostile.

  16. arXiv on Tiniest Lamp Spans Quantum, Classical Physics · · Score: 1

    I looked, the full paper isn't there, anyone else find it? I hope they are able to post it.

  17. VRML on Google Brings 3D To Web With Open Source Plugin · · Score: 0

    It's been done...

  18. Stealing them blind on Author's Guild Says Kindle's Text-To-Speech Software Illegal · · Score: 1

    Hey, they should go after that Kurzweil guy next! He's been stealing from authors for many, many years. Stealing them blind!

  19. Bridge Loop on Slashdot.org Self-Slashdotted · · Score: 1

    The switches are connected to each other and to the core and STP is off.

  20. Re:The Singularity is Nonsense on NASA and Google To Back New "Singularity University" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Try reading the book...

    "There is no magical "singularity" after which the development of new technology will become easier at an unprecedented rate."

    Actually, there is. The last human invention will be a computer that can simulate the brain in software, but run much faster. Kurzweil estimates this ability around 2040. Anything that needs to be designed and invented can be done by this machine.

    I'd take the red pill.

  21. Easy Fix on Google Privacy Counsel Facing Criminal Charges · · Score: 0, Troll

    Cut Italy off the Internet. Anyone going to miss them? Anyone?

  22. You know what? on Mars, Mercury May Have Formed From Earth and Venus · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    All of the planets formed in the general vicinity of the sun from the same materials. OF COURSE, their cores should have a similar makeup, THEY ALL SHOULD! This does not prove anything.

    These stupid astronomers need to get a real job.

  23. Re:...and TiVo HD on LG High-Def TVs To Stream Netflix Videos · · Score: 2, Informative

    About 'Instant Queue', it's a security feature. They want you to queue your movies by logging into your account, because they assume you might attach your neighbor's TiVo to the service, but not share your NetFlix account details with them.

  24. ...and TiVo HD on LG High-Def TVs To Stream Netflix Videos · · Score: 4, Informative

    don't forget TiVo HD and Series 3.

  25. Re:I thought VMWare already did that on VirtualBox 2.1 Supports 64-Bit VM In 32-Bit Host · · Score: 1

    Same here, OpenBSD amd64 on 32bit Windows XP running VMware Server on 64bit Intel. Runs like a champ.
