  1. Re:Doesn't it? on Jeremy Allison Resigns From Novell In Protest · · Score: 1
    No, it's not a contract. You do not have to agree to the GPL in order to use GPL software.

  2. Re:Student Dignity on Human Sense of Smell Underestimated · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Well, if they had used beer, the study would still be ongoing.

  3. # 0. on ISECOM's Top 10 Real Computer Crimes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Vista.

  4. Re:If only... on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 1

    A USB powered refrigerator would probably
    work for this guy since he does not mention
    an icebox in the article.

    I guess he eats out all of the time.

  5. Re:I love being screwed over on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 4, Funny

    No. Yes. Maybe.

  6. Re:Goddamn it on Third Microsoft Word Code Execution Exploit Posted · · Score: 1

    So they can spy on the user. If the holes are there by design,
    it would make sense there are other holes that have yet to
    be discovered.

  7. Re:Its a feature on Third Microsoft Word Code Execution Exploit Posted · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure these exploitable holes weren't
    stable until 98se.

  9. Trusting forecasts on Predicting Space Weather · · Score: 1
    The 'Space Weatherman' doesn't have a bad track record.

    Though, that could change once some company finds a market for that data.

  11. Re:Be careful what you wish for.... on Microsoft's Lobbying In Massachusetts · · Score: 1
    Clippy: It's looks like you're trying to shovel shit. Would you like a shovel?

    MS Bob: Shovel? No, I'm trying to *shine* shit!

  12. Life in Space on Organic Matter Found In Canadian Meteorite · · Score: 1
    Life is found most everywhere that it can reach. The only reason we have not found life in space yet is because gravity does a good job of keeping life on the planet and out of space.

    "Scotty, you're right, there is no intelligent life down there! They think they are the only ones.".

    Dude, *you* are life in space.

    Look at it from the perspective of another SpaceLifeForm discovering you on another planet.

  13. The Future is Now on USB Drives — Recovery? · · Score: 1
    The real future is systems that simply don't fail and need to be "recovered."

    It's the Microsoft machines that have 99% of the problems.

    And most of the tools that have been mentioned here are for 'fixing' Windows machines.

    Kick the Microsoft addiction, the withdrawal is worth it.

  14. Re:And what do they expect *us* to do? on Plastic Packages Cause Injuries, Revolt · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd rather we entrap the executive in a clamshell.

    Ok, we can provide an airhole if you insist.

  15. Re:OMG They are the only two companies... on NVidia, AMD Subpoenaed In Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 1

    You're correct. It *seems* that way.

  16. Re:A better nail on Top Gadget of 2006 — The HurriQuake Nail · · Score: 1

    I should patent that. Oh, wait, it's a standard.

  17. Re:Relative Difficulty on Mystery of Ancient Calculator Finally Cracked · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Of course not. Internet Explorer is difficult to figure out now.

  18. Re:Empty words on Novell Responds To Microsoft's IP Claims · · Score: 1

    Or both. Neither Microsoft nor Novell has really said *anything*
    about the various agreements with any specificity.
    And that would be by design to generate the maximum amount of FUD.

  19. Re:Give Novell a Break on Novell Responds To Microsoft's IP Claims · · Score: 1

    I believe I'd check out another vendor.

  20. Re:That's bullshit. on Novell Responds To Microsoft's IP Claims · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Pure bullshit.

    And guess what, interoperability with Microsoft products
    is a complete non-issue, once you kick the Microsoft addiction.

    And Microsoft knows that for a fact.

    The Microsoft-Novell FUD agreement is nothing but that. FUD.
    That's what Microsoft is selling these days.

  21. Video Cards on Rootkit Could Hide In PCI Cards · · Score: 0

    I would worry way more about video cards.

    Especially, Nvidia and ATI cards where
    the specs are proprietary.

  22. Why, why, why? on UK Bank Laptop Stolen With 11M Customer Records · · Score: 3, Funny
    Obviously, the UK Building Society Nationwide does not read Slashdot, otherwise they would have known about the risks.

  23. Re:Has the RIAA won any court cases on RIAA Defendant Says Kazaa Settlement Bars Case · · Score: 1
    Inability to prove your claim should not be grounds to relieve you of that burden.

    That's what IBM has been saying about SCOX.

  24. Rovers win! Rovers win! on Mars Rovers Celebrate Their 1000th Sol On Mars · · Score: 1

    Since Vista has been RTM, I declare the Rovers winners!

    It was always a tossup between a Rover death or Vista release,
    but Microsoft went into hurry-up mode.

    The really tough feat will be if the Rovers survive until
    Vista is no longer supported.

  25. Re:That won't fly in court on Copyright Protection Problems For OSS Project · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. This is exactly in line with the
    BS happening on other fronts: SCO v IBM, SCO v Novell, etc
    and the new Microsoft-Novell FUD agreement.

    Even though it should not fly, the legal fees will
    be interesting during appeals.
