  1. Those scientists, are they from on Largest-Known Planet Befuddles Scientists · · Score: 1
  2. There are times on Introducing the Slashdot Firehose · · Score: 1
    where I miss the old Slashdot that I first encountered back in the late 20th century.

    I wonder how hard it would be to track down my first comment, and the first story I got posted.

  3. Bug? Feature? Weirdness? on Introducing the Slashdot Firehose · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I can comment on stories that are submitted, but not yet accepted. Intended behavior?

    What happens to the comments if the story gets dumped?

  4. Pico is great on Mac OS X Leopard is Now Officially Unix · · Score: 1

    For small files. fstab and the like.

  5. But Brain on MIT Engineers World's First Schizophrenic Mice · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where are we going to find a hippo, 5 gallons of grease, and a tutu, at this time of night?

  6. All software does that on Thunderbird to Leave Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 1

    The difference is that, with a community driven project, the creeping featuritis is kept under control.

  7. You forgot on Homeland Security Funds LED Light That Blinds, Disorients · · Score: 2, Funny

    MUAHAHAHAHA!

  8. Somehow I don't think on Second Life Shuts Down Gambling · · Score: 1

    Alcohol and drug abuse are problems in the virtual world. Perhaps my avatar could get drunk, but that wouldn't get me drunk.

  9. Must be a New Jersey thing on Get Ready For the High-tech Beach · · Score: 1

    The mob probably gets a cut or something. Ocean City MD doesn't charge any fees for beach access. It also has free (though somewhat limited) parking on the beaches.

  10. When spell-naziing, don't ever forghet on OpenBSD Foundation Announced · · Score: 1
  11. Also known as on Truck-Mounted Laser Guns · · Score: 1

    The hemitt.

  12. Are we all getting that old? on Making Old Sound Recordings Audible Again · · Score: 1
    Yes.

    Next question?

    Get off my lawn! Damn kids.

  13. Re:Shortening names... on Sophisticated, Targeted Breakins Uncovered · · Score: 1

    "Washington Post" instead of "WaPo" exceeds the subject line length. So blame /. for the shortening. Blame Stef for the butter.

  14. just being a pretentious ass on Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera · · Score: 3, Funny

    Isn't that a requirement to write for the Guardian?

  15. Better writeup at WaPo on Sophisticated, Targeted Breakins Uncovered · · Score: 4, Informative
  16. Sonofa... on Microsoft .NET Patch May Make PCs Go "Haywire" · · Score: 1

    That's why my box was running so slow yesterday morning. Drove me and the other IT guys a bit nuts trying to figure it out. Eventually it got better on its own.

  17. Not quite on Google Maps Shows Chinese Nuclear Sub Prototype · · Score: 1

    The best possible resolution is about 2.5 inches (6 CM). That's assuming something on the close order of the Hubble telescope pointed down, and in a 100 mile orbit.

  18. Because the payment on New Zealand Banks Demand a Peek at User PCs · · Score: 1

    encourages them to become less ignorant. It's not that difficult to learn how to keep your security updated. If it is, pay someone else to do it for you.

  19. Yeah, but on GPLv3 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does it run on an iPhone?

  20. About damn time. on New Zealand Banks Demand a Peek at User PCs · · Score: 1

    If more companies that consumers interact with begin to insist that the consumers use good security practices then the consumers will either do so, or get offline. Or pay through the nose, and then do so or get offline. Any one of which will, eventually, reduce the numbers of people susceptible to bots, trojans, and other malware.

  21. Aieee! No! on Slashdot: Podcasts, IM, Improved Discussions · · Score: 1

    The best trolls, at least on scientific/technical matters, know their subject intimately.

  22. Re:Queen Sut on First Royal Mummy Found Since Tut is Identified · · Score: 1
    Man. That takes me back. I was, what, about 13 when Steve Martin did that?

    Yep.

  23. Definition of troll on Slashdot: Podcasts, IM, Improved Discussions · · Score: 1

    Here.

  24. Obviously you missed on Hans Reiser Interview from Prison · · Score: 1
  25. "restrict the discussions on Slashdot: Podcasts, IM, Improved Discussions · · Score: 2, Insightful
    to logged in users. This is a nice way to minimize trolling and general crappy behavior in your journal."

    Because that's worked so well over at Kuro5hin.
