  1. Re:I know what school! on Web Censorship on the University Campus? · · Score: 0

    It's not UTSA, which is public anyway. UTSA is fairly liberal in its access, as evidenced by the number of users in the computer lab with MySpace and Facebook. It's likely either Trinity or St. Mary's. However, I used the wireless (with guest permissions) at Trinity last week and no filtering was applied. For my money, I'd bet it's occurring at St. Mary's.

  2. Hire DVD Jon? on iTunes DRM Hole Closed · · Score: 0

    If this guy is such a thorn in Apple's side, why not just hire him? Sure, it won't be as glorious as hacker extraordinaire, but it will pay well and give him access to a variety of resources (hardware / software). Why not channel his talents instead of fighting him each step of the way?

  3. Usability is relative on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 0

    Usability is relative. Each OS is a tool and the best tool for the job will depend on the task itself. Choose accordingly.

  4. Re:Self-policing (was: Re:And who) on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 0, Troll

    Obviously you were asleep in your marketing classes. Contrary to popular opinion, marketing's core object involves EDUCATING the user about the *positive* features and benefits of a given product. Granted, advertising is used to emphasize only the positive attributes of a given product, but it's ignorant to recognize that the purpose of advertising is not to mislead or somehow encourage people to make uninformed opinions.

  5. HYPOCRISY on KDE 3.0 is Out · · Score: 1, Troll

    Everyone complains that Slashdot isn't the site for breaking news anymore and yet the community negatively responds anytime it posts a timely article / release.

    I guess I'm just a Slashdot apologist...

  6. Re:Alternative Distributions on Mandrake 8.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, Slackware doesn't use SysV init scripts to startup, it uses BSD-style startup scripts (hence the lack of run levels and symbolic links galore).

    Red Hat is the greatest.

  7. Re:Apparently I have no harddrives or cdrom drives on Red Hat Linux 7.1 Release Announcement · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the same has happened to me as well. Let me know if you figure it out.

    Speaking of journalism, you misspelled Death...
