    Because it runs as root and comes from an org that is not know for thinking about the of there consequences of their actions.

    And this after they said in the forums that all the version of their software would be the same because the were such good programmers and their knowledge of crossplatform GUI dev.

  4. Runs as root? on Warp Pipe On Linux, Mac Versions, Future Plans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You have to run the warp pipe as as root. I am not sure how smart that is, after all these are the people who didn't realize that anon cvs allowed anyone access to their code.

  5. Why trust it? on Warp Pipe On Linux, Mac Versions, Future Plans · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why trust them? Look how the have acted in the past before you trust this software.

    This isn't a dig against closed source software, as I have quite a few closed source linux apps on my systems that I have paid for.

    Just look at this projects past behavior.

  6. Why? on Give the Gift of Slashdot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why should I? It isn't like a subscription to /. buys anything. If /. editors would edit the articles, check for dups, change the mod system (just check the BSD subsite to see how broken it has become) and post everyonce in a while then I would subscribe.

  7. MD5. on The Death Throes of crypt() · · Score: 1

    MD5 is what most modern Linux distros use.

    It isn't the Christians that do not read the Bible. It is all those 'religious' people that claim to be Christians that haven't read the Bible.

    The one that begins with the letter L is real.

    The other is from a fiction TV show.

  12. Why ATM fees piss off people on Fake ATM Fraud Expose · · Score: 2, Informative

    The reason that ATM fees piss people off is that when the banks put them in and closed branched because of it, the banks said the ATMs would be free.

    Big shock, they lied.

  13. Re:spoke too soon on First Hover Flight Test of X-50A Dragonfly · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, that 18,000,000,000 USD contract was a POS to begin with. It worked like this: The US leases 100 jets from Boeing, THe US pays to have them converted to tankers, The Us pays for all upkeep and replacement in the event of a crash/shootdown, the US pays to have them reconverted to normal aircraft and then Boeing gets the planes back.

    It was about 25-50% more expensive then just buying the planes to begin with.

    Read the UNDHR. The UN thinks freedom of the press is OK as long as the press agrees with the UN goals.

    Don't believe me, well here it is.
