  1. So what? on The Story Behind Australia's CSIRO Wi-Fi Claims · · Score: 5, Insightful

    U.S. government - and therefore U.S. people and consumers who voted and allow the government to continue - have been bullying other countries with their insane views on patents and copyrights for almost a century. Oh what you say now, don't like it when other countries do the exact thing you have been doing for a long time. Cry me a river.

  2. Skype on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Linux Telecommuting Tools? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Sorry, but for business things you really do have to use Skype. It is what everyone uses, so you just have to go with it. That is cold hard truth. If you want UNIX OS, then just use Mac. I do and love it.

  3. Re:Terribly Misleading Headline on Microsoft: 'Unlikely' Credit Card Details Lifted From Xbox 360s · · Score: 0

    One fits in /.'s character limit and the other does not?

    The character limit isn't same for editors. I have previously submitted titles with last word being incomplete and it was fixed by editor before posting the story.

  4. Microsoft is right on Microsoft: 'Unlikely' Credit Card Details Lifted From Xbox 360s · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This just seems more like bad mouthing about MS and XBOX360. It was already debunked on Slashdot too, because MS doesn't store credit card details on the machine. They only store account details. Microsoft is right - this is just some unfounded rumor that has no basis on reality.

  5. Re:Macs don't get hacked on Flashback Trojan Hits 600,000 Macs and Counting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The funny thing is that Linux users still seem to be under this belief about their OS. The truth is that every OS gets malware, it's just about the market share.

  6. Re:Chrome vs IE on Chrome Beats Internet Explorer On Any Given Sunday · · Score: 2

    Have you tested IE9? It actually is a great standards compliant and fast browser. Completely different than before.

  7. Chrome vs IE on Chrome Beats Internet Explorer On Any Given Sunday · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's a simple reason for this. Google has been heavily pushing Chrome to end-users via advertisements, their search engine, YouTube, and by making deals with computer manufacturers and software authors (adware) by paying them to spread Chrome. On workplaces this tactic doesn't really work as individual workers are often unable to install adware and other malware on their computers as IT knows what they are doing and have restricted that. It is quite similar to why most spam is sent from home computers - users don't know how to secure and maintain their systems.

  8. Great guy on SJVN Tells How Reporting on Linux Has Changed in the Last 10 Years (Video) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Before he started working as journalist, he was a programmer and a system administrator, so I can see where he is coming from and why Linux interests him. Back in the early 90's I worked very closely with him and it was a blast. He actually has contributed a lot to the Windows kernel and where from Microsoft took most of his good ideas to Windows and which later became the most successful OS ever produced. On OS X side, he has contributed to the creation of Linux like distro system, called App Store, and many of the technology aspects of it come from him.

    It's great to see he is still covering Linux and FOSS in general, after 20 years. Awesome fella.

    Yeah - nowhere to put the change

    People usually have their own pocket which is more than suitable for keeping the change. Most people empty it in the toilet, but you can pretty much do it anywhere.

    Some people live in cold climates.

    They also live outside?

    None of my hot girlfriends have ever had problems with me being nude around them

    That's because your sample size is zero.

    No, I am serious. If you are dating someone and even had sex with him/her, why the hell can't you be naked around each other? Or do you have sex in the dark too, under the pillows?

  12. Keep the pjs on? on One Third of Telcom Staff More Productive Working From Home · · Score: 2

    from the keep-the-pjs-on dept.

    Wait, what? Why would anyone wear clothes at their own home? It's much nicer to be naked. And no, that you have a significant other to care about isn't a valid answer. None of my hot girlfriends have ever had problems with me being nude around them, and I'm a quite fat guy too.
