  1. Re:(OT)Hamster games on Game Boy Advance Screen Shots · · Score: 1

    There is also real hamster, but I certainly hope it is not from the makers of real doll.

  2. Re:Source Code Audit on BSD And Politics · · Score: 2

    You are wrong!!! OpenBSD code never came from NetBSD, OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD, and as a matter of fact, FreeBSD has borrowed more codes from OpenBSD than OpenBSD has done from FreeBSD. Partially because OpenBSD finds the bug firsts and FreeBSD copies, OpenBSD implments advanced crypto funtionality which other BSD's borrow. The place where OpenBSD is trying to borrow from FreeBSD now is SMP support.

  3. Blame poor process not linux on Linux Should Be Shunned · · Score: 2

    How often have we heard people trying to exploit the ability to modify code as weakness in Linux?
    Sure, it is a weakness if you have no process and change control plan on modifiying software within your environment, but the weakness is not Linux, it is your process that is weak!

  4. Re:FreeBSD v. Linux on FreeBSD Cluster At Purdue · · Score: 1

    Dude, prior to reading your post, I was a Democrat, I am now switiching to Republican.
    Thanks! :)

  5. Re:About the /. effect. on Mandrake 7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    You almost have half a point, except that you seem to forget that slashdot is not a journalistic community, It is a nerds community. It was started by a bunch of CS geeks, not a bunch of journalism majors. I wish slashdot itself would mirror articles before they post. (but with recent lawsuits...) I sometimes wish they would take the more professional approach but then we already have (cnet, msnbc, zdnet), and the moment they go "professional", it will no longer be slashdot, of course I will be singing "Sayonara and many more people will be too".

  6. Re:Still Skeptical on IBM To Demo Crusoe Thinkpad · · Score: 1

    There is a linux port for strongARM. duh. :-)
    You can compile the vast majority of free software out there for it. :-) boo!!! :)

  7. I am slightly worried on IBM To Demo Crusoe Thinkpad · · Score: 1

    A lot of companies get into trouble because of cash flow, Transmeta spent $100+mil to develop Crusoe, from now till we see a product based on the Crusoe, they are going to spend a lot more on research, trying to market and convince people to build with their stuff. If they run out of cash, Crusoe will die, It might sound crazy, but the best technologies don't win, I hope Transmeta is fast and swift and knows what they are doing. This is taking too much time already.

  8. Ugh, what a stunt? on Netpliance Sponsors 100 Creative Mobile Computing · · Score: 1

    I just read around 30-40 of those submissions, and they are weak as hell!!!!! Okay, perhaps there is 5 neat ideas there. But they all wanna build an mp3 player, la la la, "impressive snake!"
    This is just a publicity stunt as far as I am concerned.

  9. Wait a minute!!!! on Napster, Napster, Napster · · Score: 1

    Before you start calling Napster a hypocrite, take a moment to see where Napster is coming from. If Napster does not protect it's trademark, then more people can use it, and soon it looses whatever value it has. Now, I am not defending "Napster or what they do", I have no say in that. I am only defending their right to defend their trademarks. It is what business is made of.

  10. Come on!, get realistic on ISPs Victimizing DoS Victims? · · Score: 2

    Come on, get fucking realistic!!! What is the ISP to do? remain down? and have thousands of other users down? If the ISP could stop these script kiddies, and didn't and choose the route they did, then that would be just plain wrong. But today, most ISP's are very powerless, especially against distributed DoS, and please don't even bring up filtering.

  11. Re:stfub! on New Mice from Apple - Without Buttons? · · Score: 1

    I don't mean any lawsuit, if slashdot is getting sued for example by microsoft, then it is important that they let us know, not 3 weeks later. blah blah, dork.

  12. stfub! on New Mice from Apple - Without Buttons? · · Score: 2

    why the hell is this article moderated up at all?
    everytime a news story is posted on slashdot, there is almost someone who is gonna bitch about the story being too late, and then some dummies will moderate it up.

    slashdot is "news for nerds", not "your daily news". thus the important thing is that slashdot posts news for nerds. i must agree that some news are critical time wise, like news on lawsuits, a news on lawsuit should be posted at once, so if the community can take an action, we will at once, but a news on a gadget can wait for weeks, or months. it is not like you are going to go out and buy one, and it is not like the time period will stop you from buying one.

  13. Ugh, solutions? anyone? on Privacy vs. Anonymity · · Score: 1

    I don't even want to argue about privacy and anonymity on the net. I am going to assume the worst case, one day they will no longer be. In such a case, what is there to do? Quit the net? Hell no! So what I think we should be working on is technologies that provide privacy and anonymity, the presense of these technologies might stop those who are pushing for no anonymity and privacy. There is no privacy or anonymity on the net. We need something that even ISPs can't trace, no one can trace.

  14. smart way to make money on Do-It-Yourself Sue Napster Software · · Score: 1

    I don't care what the author of this program says, he is a freaking businessman, soon, he will be contacted by artists and media companies to help them write programs to do more "crappy intersting" stuff like this. This is an opporunity for money. He is a smart guy, I find it amusing. :) Good luck dude, make some money of the fucking evil empire.

  15. Re:Google is driven by python not by perl on Google's 4000 Node Linux Cluster · · Score: 1

    ugh, it is more than that, you are obviously talking about what you read from the paper, why don't you go talk to the google guys directly. A lot more than the web crawlers and servers that feeds the crawlers are implemented in python. ...and when you do talk to them, don't ask how many modules is implemented in python, but rather ask how much work python plays a role.

    I was agreeing with you till you mentioned "Arab terrorists", I would have agreed with "terrorists", but your having to add Arab their is very wrong. I am not Arab by any means, but I will like those with moderation mode to flag you down, We need to protect people from your likes, not just the NSA. People who sterotype and make very harmful statements.

    I was going to post Anonymously, but to fucking hell with that. Fuck the Karmas. Your statement is pretty dumb and fucking stupid. You don't have any really logical excuse to harbour such fears, yet you do. Why must there be people like you? Always fearing big companies, worst yet, may the God of Thunder send a big fat lighting up the asses of those that moderated you up.

  21. To those requesting for opened windows. on Will The DOJ Split Microsoft In Three? · · Score: 2

    So of you are recommending that windows be opensourced. To you, I ask. How many of you think you can make sense out of a tens of millions of lines of code not written by you? Remember netscape? It wasn't even large, but what a mess it was.

  22. the encryption is simple cipher rotation on The Next Generation of ILOVEYOU:The Porn Worm · · Score: 1

    i got this around early of this year? or was it late last year? anyway, i decided to decyper it and did it with my boss, and when we decypered the first code, we got another encrypted code, and had to repeat and so on till we were done. It was pretty interesting, not only did it send via outlook, it connected via mirc and tried to send itself to as much people as it could. it is amusing, that was why i was "disappointed" in ILOVEYOU, the guy didn't try to obscure it in any form.

  23. Blah, Blah, Blah on Universal Access · · Score: 1

    I would rather companies buy books and send employees to training than buy them computers. Truth is that, 99.99% of them will not use it for work. It is more like a bonus kind of thing.

  24. Not slashdot hole on 3-D Monitor From Deep Video Imaging · · Score: 3

    whoever posted that was irresponsible, knowing that many people will click on it out of curiosity, but worst of all, that person had to label it "Slashdot Hole", It is not.

    I was going to paste it, but slashdot crap is bugged, it mistakes java script code for multiple level of indentation of html. duh! so just get it yourself.

    Oops, I was going to post this, but I realized there is a slight security hole, slashdot lets you post in 70 seconds intervals, with this script the 70 seconds intervals is not enforced, thus one can automate this and just flood the entire slashdot with garbage in a few minutes! ick!
