  1. How come JS has no debugger? on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 1

    It seems like a commercial comparative grid designed to make your product look good.

    JS has debuggers and full featured interpreters at least on MS (try 'cscript /x foo.js').

    Also what about OOP/COM? Is it too much to ask? JS supports XPCOM and ActiveX on MS.

  2. successfully defeated the purpose on 80,012 Text Messages In One Month · · Score: 1

    I guess that after spamming his own friends nobody wants to be his friend so why would he need an unlimited msg account?

  3. Re:Both are "ProSumer" cameas really... on Canon Digital Rebel Hacked Into A Pseudo-10D · · Score: 1
  4. Finally he'll stop sending... on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..."enlarge your ... today", 'cause he's not gonna like it.

  5. what about multihead missiles? on Anti-Missile Laser Weapon Successfully Tested · · Score: 1

    this is the threat, at least in israel (shihab 4). the latest israeli anti-missile system "ha-hetz" (the arrow) was designed to handle only singleheads. obviously it's not enough.

  6. Then polygamy must be great on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 1

    2 wives would cancel their own noices

  7. In soviet Russia on Windows Security GM Talks NGSCB (Palladium) · · Score: 0, Troll

    we call it .Niet

  8. Re:Gandalf aging backwards? on Peter Jackson Hints At The Hobbit · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering whether Christianity was originated by a couple of geeks arguing how to spell "Messiah".

  9. Re:Incident response times on New IE Holes Discovered · · Score: 5, Informative

    ... as shown several times when their updates causes 3rd software to break ...

    It's even worse when done by design. Once a scoundrel - always a scoundrel.

  10. "IForone" pattern on J2EE Design Patterns · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our new Singleton(); overlord (sorry couldn't resist).

  11. Give them 'cat' on Israeli Ministry of Commerce Picks OO.org Over MS · · Score: 1

    From my experience, clerks of Israeli governmnet agencies use MSOffice mostly to exchange supposed-to-be-funny powerpoint presentations.

  12. Was frightened? on How Crackers View Themselves · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Turgeman herself was told ... where she lived, how many children she had, and what her marital status was. "The first time that happened I was frightened," she recalls, "but, after a while, I just got used to it."

    Jeeeeeesus! I would expect a little more from someone doing Ph.D. thesis. Any idiot could do that stupid trick. Given a phone number, you start at 441 to find the exact name and then just search in the Israeli Electorate Registry.

  13. Re:Prediction. on IE To Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    "... since IE's idiot customer base ..."

    According to M-W the word idiot means "feebleminded person having a mental age not exceeding three years and requiring complete custodial care"

    Thanks a lot dude. I'm using IE at work and still able to post without custodial care.

  14. Re:Been done before? on Turn Your Head Into Speakers · · Score: 1

    Ok, so you can't turn your head into a speaker, but you can with practically any smooth surface.

    Anything smooth? It might explain the name of this subwoofer.

  15. Re:pointless on Will Legal P2P Music Distribution Succeed? · · Score: 1

    "Not only that but these DRM "solutions" often only work on Windows platforms which drives away Mac/Linux users."

    IMHO not often - always. At least as long as one can recompile the kernel (as many of the unixoids do) and bypass the DRM by getting the protected data directly from the system calls.

  16. Fugget-about the Ctrl-Alt-Del on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1

    I really wanna know who's that sick-twisted-pervert person who decided to put Power and Sleep buttons right above the Insert! I admit that it happens only on the cheapest keyboards, but that's the only kind my company buys. I'm sick and tired to rip them off all the time.

  17. Re:In Soviet Russia... - some facts on Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    FYI, Ukraine is not Russia and is very far from being Soviet.

  18. Instead they could have on Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship · · Score: 1

    a beowulf cluster of those.

  19. I need no RPN calculator on Recommendations for RPN Calculators? · · Score: 1

    I'm native Polish you insensitive clod.

  20. Re:Handcuffs on Sony, Intel To Push Content Protection · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, but it insaults my intelligence when "Legally Blonde 2000" is called Information.

    Real info was, is and remains free.

  21. Lighen up, would you? on Microsoft Offers A DRM Patch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh please, don't just blindly throw all eggs in one basket. MS-RMS is designed solely "...for people who need to protect sensitive Web content, documents, and e-mail...". In other words: MS-Office output.

    What's wrong with that and how it's connected to RIAA?

    Instead of blaming MS for doing actually something good (at this time), perhaps it's just about time to think of Linux' answer to the problem of protection of sensitive corporate data. Otherwise, very soon, there will be no place for Linux on corporate desktops.

  22. Re:One feature I want... on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Sorry but your comment reminds me the old days of commie Russia where you couldn't say something about "the other part of the world" without excusing yourself with a dosen of "unfortunately"s.

    I do believe that you truly hate MS and everything they make but I do not believe everyone that says so on /.

    Cheers,

  23. I disagree on Fastest US Supercomputer Runs Linux · · Score: 1

    The original article says the fastest open system. If that matters then the title is misleading.

  24. Killer configuration on Distributions/Configurations For Specific Uses? · · Score: 1

    Paper, pen, and a good pr0n magazine would satisfy most of everybody's word processing / web activities ;)

  25. Nada new under the sun on Electronic Ballots In The Brazilian Presidential Election · · Score: 2, Informative

    Costa Rica did it 5 years ago with AT&T. It was based on quite interesting technology called Byzantine Quorums. The goal was an effecient replication of the same info over a network. The idea is that you don't have to copy the data to all participating nodes, only to a Quorum... (The name Byzantine comes from much earlier "Byzantine Generals" problem).
