    I'd change the last one to .....

    .NET hacked by a guy sporting a beard and a funny hat, using 16 bytes of perl - PRICLESS.

  4. OSDN Nav Bar Isn't that bad on Slashdot Updates · · Score: 1

    Nah...I don't mind the OSDN Bar at the top, since i'm always scrolled down somewhere in the middle of the page, so I really can't see it, but .. why don't you make it look prettier ie: like the one in linux.com?

    Is Linux and its community of developers even really fighting against MS in respect of desktops?

  7. The obvious? on Microsoft Blames the Messengers · · Score: 1

    First, let's state the obvious. All of these worms made use of security flaws in the systems they attacked, and if there hadn't been security vulnerabilities in Windows®, Linux, and Solaris®, none of them could have been written.

    CodRed and the other worms were Linux, Solaris worms?? Is that obvious to anyone besides Scott?

  9. Re:Drag 'n' Drop? on File Extensions And Monopolies · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe cause most of us are a bunch of lazy users .. it takes less hand/finger movement and concentration to double click on the document than to drag it to another icon.

  10. Re:Monopoly for the illiterate... on File Extensions And Monopolies · · Score: 1

    I totally agree, he mentions how so many people don't know what *right clicking* is, well if you do add a pretty option in control panel to allow you to change the application that opens a certain file type .. how does this make it easier than a simple right click on the file and then changing the app in the "open with" dialog?

  11. Single hand typing.... on New Cell Phone Typing Solution · · Score: 1

    without looking at the keys, and using all ur 5 fingers ..? its hard .
    I remember a while back ... in one of the new 007 movies .. the bad guy would type with his right hand while the left hand was holding the keyboard from underneath. This way he was able to move around with the keyboard while typing. It looked sooo 'hacky' .. should be a nice way to impress the ladies!

  14. What this new kind of war might look like. on A New Kind of War · · Score: 1

    It might not look like anything.. I believe this new type of war
    might not even be heard on the media, ie: we won't see
    cruise missles bombin the s*** out of afghanistan..
    What this new war will entitle is a massive intelligance operation
    that will probably last for years and years to come. It won't only affect those countries where terrorism blooms, but also
    back here. The war will also be faught home ..we're all *potential* enemies!..and im sure most /. readers know what that unforntunatly means

    In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb" , "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" - Nostradamus 1654
