  1. Looking over all the comments I'm really surprised on Photos of Chinese Sweatshop Used By Microsoft · · Score: 3, Insightful

    that the majority are from uncaring scumbags defending these working conditions. Not sure why, but I just expected differently from the slashdot crowd.

  2. We will have to put up with all kinds of shit on Warner Music Pushing Music Tax For Universities · · Score: 1

    until copyright disappears. And it will disappear.

  3. $499 model has slower 1.0 GHz C7 and 512MB RAM on HP Unveils Small Commercial Linux Laptop · · Score: 1

    The 1.6 GHz C7 is only in the $749 Vista model, which also comes with 2GB RAM. Just an FYI.

  4. This reminds me of that Outer Limits episode on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    with the bald guy from Just Shoot Me. He has to kill the "jumper" that was accidentally left in tact after the jump. The dinosaur creatures that invented the "jump" technology had ethical rules that duplicate jumpers were not allowed to exist. Anyone else see that episode?

  5. They should have on Healthcare Giant Faces IT Nightmare · · Score: 1

    used Ubuntu instead.

  6. Re:Obligatory Joke on Microsoft in Talks To Acquire Ebay · · Score: 3, Informative

    I know you were kidding, but actually ebay's current market cap is $48 Bil. I would start the bidding there and put a BIN at $75 Bil. Only those with positive feedback should bid. Accept PayPal only. Good luck to the winner.

  7. Re:BeVeryEvil.googlepages.com on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 1

    So many sites get screwed up in Opera that I've switched over to Firefox. FF is a little slower and buggier but at least most of the sites look right.

  8. BeVeryEvil.googlepages.com on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 4, Funny

    I just threw this up real fast...

    http://beveryevil.googlepages.com/ ...just linked some images relating to google's censorship in China. I like the idea of having google host it with "googlepages.com" in the url. :)

  9. Cool... on House Candidate Lets Web Users Set His Schedule · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... the first web-controlled candidate. This is jsut crazy enough to catch on.

  10. Re:Yeah Right... on Making Change · · Score: 1

    These would be "Chai" coins. That's all we need... then the world really would believe that the Jews controlled all the money.

  11. Re:Just in case... on How to Make a Starship Enterprise out of a 3.5" Floppy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Considering the steady decline in the quality and quantity of posts here, the answer is probably... Alot less than it used to.

  12. Are people really paying $5/CPM ? on Slashdot Subscribers Now See The Future · · Score: 1

    Are people really paying $5/CPM not to see a banner ad on the top of this site? And as far as contributing $ to Slashdot for the "warm fuzzy feeling"... who are they kidding? It's not like Slashdot is working on a cure for cancer or ways to feed the hungry. Am I missing something here?

  13. Which would be worse for NASA? on More on Columbia · · Score: 1

    Consider this. Which of the following two scenarios would be worse for NASA and the space program?

    1. NASA tells the world shortly after the January 16th launch that critical damage was done to the Shuttle's heat shield. They inform the public that there is a high probability that the Shuttle will not survive re-entry and that they do not have the capability to fix the damage. The whole world pleads that something be done to save the astronauts for days or weeks.

    2. NASA admits to incompetence "after the tradgedy" for failing to detect the damage that occurred on launch and preventing it from happening.

    I think one has to seriously wonder what NASA knew, and more importantly, when they knew it.

  14. Internet traffic affected by electronic attack on Cross-Site-TRACE · · Score: 1

    http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/01/25/intern et.attack.ap/index.html

  15. Re:sorry about the lack of breaks... on Cross-Site-TRACE · · Score: 1

    yeah... like mysql... that's hardly used, so I guess that's why we haven't seen this kind of DoS exploit with that right...

  16. Re:relation? on Cross-Site-TRACE · · Score: 1

    http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&thread id=107103

  17. Re:maybe... on Cross-Site-TRACE · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Because Slashdot aint worth spit anymore! Been talking about this for awhile on WebHostingTalk.com http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&thread id=107103

  18. Customer Support? on Online Retailing Comes of Age · · Score: 5, Informative

    From the article: "The arrogant, customer-abusive tech world could learn a lot from these people, who offer steep discounts, stand behind their products, and actually offer real and free customer support."

    ...Don't you realize that one of the cost cutting measures Amazon undertook over a year ago was to eliminate telephone customer support. To the contrary of what the article is trying to point out, I don't think it bodes well for ecommerce, when the larger player in the industry says "DO NOT CALL US".
