  1. FTA: on Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car? · · Score: -1, Troll

    The only thing the vehicle owner has to do is refill the unit with distilled water once every 80 hours of engine use.

    YOWCH, I'm sure some people will be spending more time filling their cars with water then gas then.

  2. Heh on Kernel.org Moves to Oregon · · Score: 3, Funny

    I love the caption to this pic, yea . . safe and snug if you drive 10 mph the whole way and take no corners.

  3. Re:This is old old old old old on Ratio Vulnerability in BitTorrent Discovered · · Score: 1

    Ooops that should of been www.00de.de

  4. Re:Neccessary Exposure on Ratio Vulnerability in BitTorrent Discovered · · Score: 4, Informative

    This only effects sites that use ratios for things like "VIP Status" or Auto-Bans, without hacking the client as well you wont be able to fool the other clients to send you data if you dont send them data.

  5. This is old old old old old on Ratio Vulnerability in BitTorrent Discovered · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is nothing new, there's been client hacks for this for quite a while (http://www.00de.com/), there's also been ratio faking programs out for quite a while as well. So I really dont see anything additional that this 'xyflar' guy has added besides posting what's been known to pretty much every torrent user as well as pretty much every torrent site that uses ratios.

  6. Hmmm on Data Still Left on Storage Devices for Sale · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It seems like every 2-3 months we get an identical story. This isn't new, and I expect it will still happen for quite a long time still.

  7. Re:slashdotted already on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes

  8. Hmmm on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot has migrated from tech news to "Tech News and Anything We Can Bitch At Bush Over"

  9. Re:Dr. Brown on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: 2, Informative

    No the time machine wasn't powered by steam (if you're referring to BTTF:III), the whole steam loco was used to get the car up to the required 88 miles per hour, not to generate the power for the flux capacitor.

  10. Re:The wonder of the religious right... on GTA: San Andreas to be Re-Released Next Week · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yup, only on slashdot.

    I think if you'd remember correctly one of the most Vocal was the New York Times and Hillary Clinton . . . I'd severely doubt that they would fall under 'the religious right' under any stretch of the phrase.

  11. Not a 'great' guide, but good points on Introduction to Competitive Programming · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know a couple of the comments he makes to make you better like creating a template can and most likely are against the rules (I can attest to at least one competition that it is). And he is correct that more languages you know the easier it is if you switch between them. I remember one problem, that was easily solved in 2 short lines of Perl, which required the C coders to write quite a few more then that.

  12. Re:Can we refuse? on Rebuilding New Orleans With Science · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The Netherlands doesn't have hurricanes

  13. Re:Welcome to the world's most powerful technologi on Experimental 4G Phone Service Faster Than Cable · · Score: 1
    erm, no, ethernet (atleast your standard 10/100/1000 copper) uses rj-45.

    And as for RJ-61, this quote from wikipedia sums it up best:

    This pinout is for multi-line telephone use only; RJ-61 is unsuitable for use with Ethernet over twisted pair (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T) because the pins for pairs 3 and 4 are too widely spaced.
  14. Re:Ass on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ah, but Slashdot can get away with it, why can't Fuddruckers . . oh wait . . they're an 'Evil Corporation'

  15. SCIgen on New Algorithm for Learning Languages · · Score: 5, Interesting

    SCIgen anyone?

  16. Hi Def Trailers on Walk on the Moon in IMAX 3D · · Score: 4, Informative

    Find the Hi-Def trailers here

  17. Re:How will the probe come back? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's called an orbit . . .

    here's the wikipedia article.

    Unless it has enough energy to leave the system, anything launched will eventually (after a long enough time) to Earth.

  18. Re:There's more than four phases of matter on Technology Behind Plasma Displays · · Score: 1

    Most people who don't have a heavy science background would proabably guess there are only 3, solid, liquid, and gas. A smaller percentage might add plasma in there, and a very small percentage might include the rest.

  19. Re:Polyethylene on Fly To Mars In A Plastic Ship · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's why you're building a battlebot instead of working at NASA R&D?

  20. Re:I'm sorry. on Climatologists Wager on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    heh, I guess it's just a bonus I never put /. as my start page :)

  21. Re:I'm sorry. on Climatologists Wager on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I must be missing why this story is such a big deal?

  22. Re:I have 5 of them clustered together folding on Linux Hacked Onto Fry's Cheap Wireless G Router · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    stop trying to pimp your shitty site. creating a new acct wont help.

    "as opposed to another one where Michael More makes fun of people he disagrees with by coming up with bullshit and lies"

    sorry had to correct you.

  24. Re:Shameful Logan Authorities on WiFi At Logan Airport Leads To Turf War · · Score: 1

    That's the point, if they're not, and for some odd reason Continential somehow, someway is causing interference then they're at fault.

  25. Dont blame them on Monad Shell Removed From Vista · · Score: 1

    Although it's been proven that it's a common vulnerability in *all* shells, there's something to be said about the average windows user.
