  1. in time to do something about it on NSA to Become Government Net 'Traffic Cop?' · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not really. If you read the 9/11 Commission Report it's pretty clear that the communications were pretty fouled up. It wasn't clear until after flight 93 went down how many aircraft had been hijacked, and what was being done about it.

  2. Don't have to report him on Blog Content Based Solely on High Paying Keywords · · Score: 1

    I bet Sergey and Co read slashdot.

  3. I'm not sure on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    I think thast even two seasons, absent major basic plot changes, is stretching it. How many episodes can they get out of running from the Cylons?

  4. It is fun! on Linux Application Development · · Score: 1

    If you're a programmer.

  5. There's a limit on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    to how much data they can hold on a few thousand servers. They have street level resoluton across the entire US, which is probably a terabyte, or several, of data. And high speed access to that data.

  6. wake up and reconsider on Red Hat Opens Lobbying Office Near DC · · Score: 1

    The NSA is very fond of Linux.

  7. LinuxWorld in Boston on Red Hat Opens Lobbying Office Near DC · · Score: 1

    Is when RHEL 4 comes out, it doesn't say when the CC EAL 4 cert will happen.

  8. I work for a DoD contractor on Red Hat Opens Lobbying Office Near DC · · Score: 4, Informative
    Getting ready to install RHEL3 on my box, getting a workstation in next week which we will install RHEL3 on, and the Zaurus should be in on Tuesday.

    There's lots of Linux in government, but it's mainly on the server side. Or with agencies that don't want to leave a paper trail of what they've bought 9and from whom) and who consider protecting their data to be the highest priority.

  9. Keeping the doctor away on Tech Giants Push Open Standards for Health Network · · Score: 1

    is why previous healthcare IT initiatives have failed.

  10. These aren't software patents on HP Pays Intergraph $141m to Settle Patent Dispute · · Score: 1

    They're hardware patents.

  11. Why foo? on Gecko-based K-Meleon 0.9 browser Released · · Score: 1
  12. It's good they don't on Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Reviewed · · Score: 1
    Not built in means easier upgrading, and you can get a wifi card for it.

    Spent this morning looking at the zauruses, just put in a PO for an SL-C860.

  13. Semi-repost. on BBC on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    See the Slashdot story from 2003.

  14. Yes, on Texas Goes After Student Spammer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    but only if you're poor or non-white.

  15. Conference acronym on Red Hat Trying to Make Fedora More Open? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Attention all personnel! Incoming Microsoft press release! Set FUD CON 1 throughout the facility!"

  16. RYes on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bodily fluids. People in southwest Utah, where I lived, considered Ronald Reagan to be far too liberal, and aren't completely convinced that GW Bush isn't a Democrat in Disguise.

  17. I lived in Utah for ten years on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 3, Interesting

    and was surprised, at first, to find that many people there actually believed that.

  18. the eye strain on CRTs Still Beat Flat-Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    Increase your vertical refresh rate. I run at 75Hz and eyestrain isn't a problem.

  19. So, basically on Transmeta Mulls Exit From Processor Market · · Score: 2, Funny
    they'll become a pure dot-com in an attempt to improve matters.

    They're doomed.

  20. Is this the first K5 story on Wikipedia Criticised by Its Co-founder · · Score: 1

    to hit slashdot, or have there been others? Rusty's servers seem to be holding up well under the load.

  21. How old was this software? on Comair Done In by 16-Bit Counter · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I stopped using 16 bit ints for anything 10 (or more) years ago when I had the joy of migrating systems from a 16 bit OS to a 32 bit OS.

  22. And while you're waiting for that to happen on Poland Blocks European Software Patent Vote, For Now · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    don't give up sex or breathing.

  23. Holland on "Dark Alleys" on the Internet · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall a murder there, recently, that revealed some sort of cell. But, yeah, it probably wasn't important, or terrorism.

  24. MRE Bombs. on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    Take the warmer chemical, put it in an empty 2 liter soda bottle, add water, screw on the cap, throw it. Makes a satisfyingly loud boom.
