    Poe's Law strikes again!

    Yes, it's terrible. I don't even know if I am serious or joking anymore.

    I will have to go back to using linx now because I trust nothing else...

    If you're that paranoid — use a virtual machine to browse the web and rollback to a trusted, clean snapshot a few times a day.

  9. Re:I have a theory... on Largest-Known Planet Befuddles Scientists · · Score: 1

    I have a theory. Since we have no other explanation for now, it must be a miracle of God.
    That's an unscientific approach, just making up some entity to fill in the gaps where you don't have an answer.

    Or maybe... some entity made up YOU!
  10. Re:Tear in my eye on Bring Down Internet Explorer In Six Words · · Score: 1

    I didn't think I'll see the day when browser crashing on something would be a newsworthy item.
    WTF? Have you been reading a different slashdot to me?

    Maybe the total amount of posted browser crash articles is now just enough to make it newsworthy...

  12. Re:i'm not a fan of microsoft but... on MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain · · Score: 1

    They even paid Fraunhofer, who were widely known as the owners of the mp3 patent.

    The MPEG standard was developed with the help of several companies, and there are a lot of patents involved. Fraunhofer has a patent on a part of mp3 technology, it's just that (until now) they were the only ones to make direct financial gain from it.

    Konqueror is part of KDE, which isn't available for Windows

    Well, actually it is...
    It's sluggish and eats up all your RAM, but it's pretty cool to have a KHTML engine for Windows to check your site.

    My ISP actually has a clue, and set their DNS to only use "NS delegation" for .com and .net, so Verisigns wildcards have no effect whatsoever.
