  1. Not premature on Ask Slashdot: Do You Trust When a Vendor Tells You To Buy New Parts? · · Score: 1

    Maybe some SOHO/small business networking gear gets retired prematurely, but for larger scale Cisco stuff the end of sale/end of life dates are way beyond when anyone would reasonably want to use the gear.

  2. Riding the hype train on Inventor of OpenFlow SDN Admits Most SDN Today Is Hype · · Score: 3, Informative

    I need to build a business around some new buzzword and sell it to VMware. Cloud and everything related to it has really stagnated development of other areas of IT in my opinion. Companies try and figure out WTF SDN is or how to integrate their networking stack with AWS instead of focusing on what's really happening in the IT world.

  3. Designed by on Cyber Vulnerabilities Found In Navy's Newest Warship · · Score: 3

    Dr. Gaius Baltar

  4. ISP Provided? on Researchers Hack Over a Dozen Home Routers · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If your ISP provides you an insecure router and your credit card numbers are subsequently stolen, whose fault is it? Especially when these routers are only configurable via your ISP?

  5. $10,000 Challenge on A New Benefit For Logged-In Readers: Meet Slashdot's ROT13 Initiative · · Score: 1

    To anyone brave enough to decode the stories themselves. Would that count as RTFA?

  6. Public access? on World's Most Powerful Private Supercomputer Will Hunt Oil and Gas · · Score: 0

    Will the public have access to the results (thinking property values) or will it only be available to a select few?

  7. Re:more data for google -- a LOT more on Google Implements DNSSEC Validation For Public DNS · · Score: 1

    I wish I could mod you +1 paranoid schizophrenic.

  8. Just in case on Blog Reveals a Chinese Military Hacker's Life Is One of Boredom and Bitterness · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    That hot girl you're falling in love with is actually your daughter.

  9. Or on Testing an Ad-Free Microtransaction Utopia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Go back to when people had web sites as a hobby and not this SEO, per click revenue blog spam shithole we have today.

  10. Re:This will only work on China Using 'State Secrets' Label To Hide Pollution · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Africa

  11. Short term gain on SXSW: Elon Musk Talks Reusable Rockets, Tesla Controversy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the biggest reason he gets so much flak is because no one can figure out how to make a quick buck off his businesses.

  12. No on Can Valve's 'Bossless' Company Model Work Elsewhere? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Too many entrenched managers who provide nothing to the company.

  13. Don't be lazy on How to Become an IT Expert Companies Seek Out and Pay Well (Video) · · Score: 1

    That's how you get ahead in IT (and every other career). Always be learning and keeping busy. If you spend a lot of time at work on Facebook, some young 20 something is going to replace you. Soon.

  14. MMOs are done on PC Games To Watch For In 2013 · · Score: 1

    TESO is too late to the party. Gamers have grown beyond MMOs and the constant grindfest.

  15. Wrong Approach on Ubuntu 13.04 Will Allow Instant Purchasing, Right From the Dash · · Score: 2

    Ubuntu would make more money by moving towards Red Hats model of licensing instead of their (outrageous) support hours. Their cost model for enterprise support is a huge reason my workplace won't use them.

  16. Sorry, but unsustainable on UN Summit Strikes Climate Deal Promising "Damage Aid" To Poor Nations · · Score: 0

    These countries need to be dissolved and integrated with another. Things are just going to get worse. What's better, preserving a nations identity or preventing the inevitable extinction of it?

  17. Microsoft's Biggest Mistake on Valve's 'Steam Box' Console Is Real, Says Gabe Newell · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Arguably, Valve probably wouldn't be pushing full "steam" ahead on this if Microsoft hadn't dreamt up a Windows Store. This is in my opinion a real game changer for the PC ecosystem and the future of Windows.

  18. Linux may be cheaper on LiMux Project Has Saved Munich €10m So Far · · Score: -1, Troll

    But an incompetent Linux admin can cause far worse damage than an incompetent windows one.

  19. Hey I Know The Fix on World Governments Object To New gTLDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Give control of everything to the UN

  20. Last hurrah on Just In Time for the Holidays, Nintendo Wii U Gets Its US Release · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nintendo, you would make money hand over fist if you became multiplatform and did HD remakes for everything. Seriously, swimming in a lake of green.

  21. They'd Sell to Other Countries on Tapping Shale Reserves, US Would Become World's Top Oil Producer By 2017 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This post and a lot of comments make it seem like the oil produced would stay in our country and only used by us. Yea right, it would be sold to the highest bidder on the market, which will probably be China in a couple of years. Meanwhile our country is turned into a wasteland from this and fracking.

  22. Slashdot on Gabe Newell Confirms Source 2 Engine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Bringing you the news from last week, today!

  23. Corporate treason on Cisco VP To Memo Leaker: Finding You Now 'My Hobby' · · Score: 2

    I thought IronPort has a pre canned filter for "leaking memos". I could never fine tune that product though, apparently Cisco can't either.

  24. Holy Mailing Ads on Presidential Campaigns Leak Supporters' Info To Tracking Firms · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Obama and Romney have been sending me 12 page full color magazines daily for the past twelve weeks. I think there comes a point when campaign money should be capped.

  25. Re:Um... on Ask Slashdot: What Stands In the Way of a Truly Solar-Powered Airliner? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Heaven takes up a lot of space too.
