  1. They should have known better. on Duqu Attackers Managed to Wipe C&C Servers · · Score: 2

    The first thing you do in C&C is build walls around your MCV so engineers won't get it. Seriously, guys.

  2. Hey, just like Freud! on Dutch Psychologist Faked Data In At Least 30 Scientific Papers · · Score: 1

    You would think a psychologist would know better.

  3. BSD IS DYING on Reuters Reports Death of Gaddafi In Libyan City of Sirte · · Score: 1

    According to Al Jazeera.

  4. Don't forget about current data availability on GLORIA To Give Amateur Astronomers Access To Robotic Telescopes · · Score: 1

    There is a gigantic amount of available observational data through projects like VSO, and people have written lots of nifty interfaces, e.g. aladin (aladin.u-strasbg.fr). It's even GPL...

  5. unification on Can String Theory Accommodate Inflation? · · Score: 1

    Could someone explain to me what the justification behind unifying all of the fundamental forces is? I'm sure that it would be nice from a physical standpoint to have all of the forces be different facets of one fundamental force, but what if they aren't? Is there any groundbreaking research going on that assumes differently?

  6. slow news day on DNS Inventor Predicts Future of the Internet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    gotta be.

  7. Re:Actually, it's obvious why they're getting bigg on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and that's what you get when you insist upon making it behave like windows.

    As for your desires in a window manager, use fvwm2 if you want a start menu without KDE bloat.

  8. Re:Actually, it's obvious why they're getting bigg on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    Since when is a shell a "system tool"?

  9. Re:Actually, it's obvious why they're getting bigg on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    Easily reachable after having to hunt for it, because it's an afterthought.

    I have no problems with windowmaker.

  10. Actually, it's obvious why they're getting bigger. on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because people keep insisting that they be as friendly and action-packed as a typical windows desktop.
    As long as the powers that be insist upon making popular desktops do everything without the need of a shell window, then they are going to be bloated. I don't care how pretty KDE is, it actually irritates me when after a default install of it I have to go hunting through the menus to find the well-hidden shell.

    This is what you guys get when you keep preaching that linux is just as friendly as windows so everyone should switch. You get the same kind of bloat windows has.

  11. Tinfoil Hats on Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is a conspiracy.

    Microsoft and SCO must have secretly funded this person's art, and Ashcroft is taking advice from RIAA and the MPAA in order to prosecute him. Clearly, it's because he distributed his artwork over a p2p network and his wife was really murdered by secret microsoft ninjas.

    Oh yeah, and BSD is dying.

  12. oh noes boycott on Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Hay guys boycott mcdonalds because I worked there once and now they've changed the menu.

  13. The sacrifice of saving it isn't worth it. on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you save episode 3, you lose the result of finally driving a nail into the star wars franchise.

    Think of it: one good move after at least 3 crappy sequels. Statistically, if you encourage this jackass to keep on making movies 75% will be shit.

    Please. Let it die.

  14. Next in the news on China Scrubs Moon Mission Plans · · Score: 1

    US scraps mars mission.

  15. WOAH HO! Competition is getting FIERCE! on Megway - New Competition For The Segway · · Score: 2, Funny

    With this new alternate out, I see the number of riders of these things doubling to maybe 6 people!

  16. The prize that NASA really needs on NASA Needs Prize Contest Ideas · · Score: 3, Insightful

    how about a prize to the group that clears out all of the dead fodder and restructures them?

  17. Re:KDE Naming on KDE Conquers Astrophysics With Kst · · Score: 1

    Does this do anything that grace doesn't do?

  18. This is a suprise? on People Feel Loyalty To Computers · · Score: -1, Troll

    People feel irrational loyalty to operating systems too.

  19. Now all we need is on Factory Testing of Airborne Laser Cannon Completed · · Score: 4, Funny

    a bunch of popcorn and an evil professor's house.

  20. let us hope on Scifi Channel to Make Ringworld Miniseries · · Score: 2

    that it doesn't turn out like riverworld.

    Ringworld deserves far better treatment. I can totally see scifi fagging it up to turn it into some retarded adventure movie a la xena.

  21. that's nice but on XPde 0.5 - A Linux Desktop for Windows Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would settle for a linux desktop for linux users.

  22. OH REALLY. on How India is Saving Capitalism · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If outsourcing to india saves jobs in the US, just think of how many jobs could be saved if we stopped criticizing sweatshops.

    I mean, cheap labor = good, right?

    If you want to save jobs stop paying management absurd amounts of money and start giving a shit about the health and well-being of your employees. That way maybe they'll feel good about the company and start doing work instead of spending time on the net looking for a new job because your company fucking sucks. This saves jobs because maybe then your company will actually prosper.

    Or you can outsource your tech support to india and just piss off your customers.

    'Sup EA.

  23. Amazing. on Interview with Matthew Dillon of DragonFly BSD · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's actually something on the front page about BSD. And it says nothing about SCO or linux.

  24. or you could on Latest SnapStream PVR App Reviewed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    use mythtv for free and install the windows frontend.

  25. There are better movies to name it after. on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 5, Funny

    All it takes is a glance at the imdb.

    I think "you got served" is a pretty good candidate myself.
