  1. What's in It for Developers? on Java 7: What's In It For Developers · · Score: 1

    Well going by previous statements by Larry Ellison and Oracles actions in regards to Red Hat Linux. They'll wait until your stuff is popular and then just take it and start charging support fees for your stuff.

    "If an open source product gets good enough, we'll simply take it" link

  2. massive increase in Symantic malware FUD on Researchers Report Spike In Boot Time Malware · · Score: 1

    There, the corrected headline .. why not just make the MBR read-only .. ?

  3. GPU mints virtual currency on GPGPU Bitcoin Mining Trojan · · Score: 1

    "Trojan.Badminer uses GPUs to generate virtual coins through a practice known as minting"

    Isn't that how the `real' economy works, the gov lends non-existent money to the banks, the banks lend it to the customers and the gov mints coins to cover the transaction.

  4. vulnerability in the browser? on IE 9 Beats Other Browsers at Blocking Malicious Content · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 has proved once again to be the best choice when it comes to catching attacks aimed at making the user download Web-based malware .. Windows Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) caught an exceptional 99.2% of live threats: .. Google Chrome 12 caught 13.2%5" link

    Once these attacks got past protections what damage did the 0.80% of malware that got past IE9, do to the underlying Operating System and what were the effects of the 86.8% of malware that got past Chrome running on Ubuntu? And why is slashdot giving this self serving BS space on its website?

  7. far more resistant to malware on Apple's Unlikely Security Mentor: Microsoft · · Score: 1

    This article is total nonsence, malware can only be resistant to the end user not downloading and clicking on and entering the admin password, why it deserves a slashdot mention is beyond me.

  8. X-ray monitor false positives on IED devices on Science Fair Entry Shuts Down Airport Terminal · · Score: 1

    I didn't know terrorists used veroboard and what exactly was his science project meant to do.

  9. Does this remind you of any famous antitrust case? on Finding Fault With the Low, Low Price of Android · · Score: 1

    "One could argue that Google is using its dominance in search advertising to unfairly gain entry into another market by giving that new product, Android, away for free. Does this remind you of any famous antitrust case?'"

    No, because Google isn't forcing OEMs into signing exclusive contracts that forbid them using other software stacks.
