  1. Not gonna beat Google Calendar on Evolution installer for Win32 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Which can also accept Outlook meeting requests. Plus it works from any browser.

  2. So... on Microsoft Plans Gdrive Competitor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Microsoft's big secret Web 2.0 push is to copy everything Google does?

    OIC!

  3. Re:I'll admit it... on Why Phishing Works · · Score: 1

    You were alert and trusted your instincts. Phishing would be a lot less powerful if more people acted the way you did.

    I actually had a similar experience to what you described in my fore-mentioned folly. It asked for my SecurID code which the normal intranet site didn't. It was at the end of a long day and my brain was too toasted to raise a red flag. :)

  4. Re:I'll admit it... on Why Phishing Works · · Score: 1

    That should have read, "Phishing works because even tech savvy people are sometimes stupid and frequently lazy."

  5. I'll admit it... on Why Phishing Works · · Score: 1

    I was caught by a phishing scam once at my old company.

    An email was sent out that looked exactly like an official email and was linked to a page that looked exactly like the employee intranet page.

    I let my guard down just a tiny bit and got snagged.

    Phishing works because people are sometimes stupid and frequently lazy.

  6. A true innovator that is not afraid to take risks on GDC - Trials of Tabula Rasa · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Garriot has been so influential to game development, it's good to see that he is still going strong and working hard to push things even further.

    It's also nice to see a company make the very tough decision to abandon a project and start from scratch.

    I had high hopes for Tabula Rasa, and my hopes have now been reaffirmed. Thanks Mr. Garriot :)

  7. Re:Wow you guys are a bunch of cocksuckers. on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 1

    Fuck tux up his faggot asshole.

  8. Wow you guys are a bunch of cocksuckers. on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: -1, Troll

    I post a legitimate viewpoint and get modded down. Go fuck yourself linux fags.

  9. Yep on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And that's why Gmail still says "BETA" at the top.

  10. Artificial Gravity on Time-in-Space Record Broken · · Score: 1

    Will artificial gravity negate the effects of zero-grav on bone density?

  11. Re:Noise Reducing Fabric/Material? on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    Cool. It would be neat to make a machine virtually silent using this method.

  12. Noise Reducing Fabric/Material? on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    Some of the modding sites sell that fabric you can line the inside of your case with for noise reduction. Does this stuff actually work, and wouldn't it have an insulating effect?

  13. Can I pick this up... on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Without having seen the first season (yet)?

    I've heard nothing but good things about this show and I want to start watching it!

  14. BPL on Next-Gen Broadband Primer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One little mention of broadband over the power lines (BPL)?

    Interesting since Google just made a huge investment in it.

  15. Other AOL Open Source on AOL Open Sourcing Audio & Video Technology · · Score: 2, Informative

    AOL also open sourced the modified version of Midori/Mobile Linux it used on the Gateway appliance.

    Hence, http://opensource.aol.com

  16. This could be good for AOL on Time Warner to Spin Off AOL? · · Score: 1

    As a seperate entity, they will be forced to take more risks, forcing them to innovate more. Combined with TW, they could afford to stagnate alot longer.

    I look forward to seeing what shifts in company direction come out of this. Right now they are just playing catchup in all areas with the real innovators in the industry.

  17. Re:And the use would be? on Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Since when did nerds need a reason to do something nerdy?

    This is Slashdot!

  18. Woah on Mandrakesoft Changes Name to Mandriva · · Score: 1

    For a second I thought it said "Mangina."

  19. The budget is not the problem, Rick. on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1

    You are.

    Fire yourself and hire some new writers that don't hash the same tired stories and ideas.

  20. What about the moon? on NASA Details Earthquake Effects on the Earth · · Score: 1

    Will the changes in Earth's rotation affect it as well?

  21. At least Garriot hinted at it! on Developer Retrospective on the MMORPGs of 2004 · · Score: 1

    He mentioned he liked the MMO offerings from Blizzard, claiming that they were more far reaching that previous MMOs.

    Garriot 4 Life!

  22. Re:Why hasn't EA killed this? on RunUO Ultima Online Emulator Goes Opensource · · Score: 1

    I would be VERY surprised to see EA not have some sort of similar EULA on UO. We're talking about EA here.

    Blizzard still effectively shut it down. It wasn't tested in court but I am willing to bet that they would win if put to the test.

    Lawyers w/lots of money is a pretty scary sight.

  23. Why hasn't EA killed this? on RunUO Ultima Online Emulator Goes Opensource · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is pretty much the same thing as the battlenet emulator that Blizzard killed, is it not? Why hasn't EA shot it down?

  24. Re:How many movies, MP3s can one possibly use? on Hitachi to Release Half TB Drive Soon · · Score: 1

    I really hate this argument. 500 GB is alot but with:

    - Digital video editing
    - Digital photography (7MP+ soon to become the norm)
    - Music
    - Movies (Porn)
    - Games taking up multiple GB

    In a few years it won't be enough.

  25. Re:Emotionally crippling? on Ex-Blizzard lead men, Strain and O'Brian, Profiled · · Score: 1

    Emotionally crippling, more like financially tripling, am I rite?
