  1. Re:Lol on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 2, Funny

    A good 99% of the population will never bother, they have better things to do than spend hours learning that mess, like actually writing what they needed a WYSIWYG word processor for in the first place!

  2. Great idea! on Trolling Al Qaeda... For Peace? · · Score: 1

    I am all for anything that promotes the idea that any kind of political speech coming from US is poisonous propaganda, and should not be trusted.

    Think of it as a weakened vaccine against more sophisticated forms of US propaganda.

  3. Re:Wait, what? on Former Pentagon Analyst: China Has Backdoors To 80% of Telecoms · · Score: 1

    This is not true, however even if it was the case, there still was no way to predict how the future compilers are going to be implemented and how the backdoor is supposed to work in all those implementations. The chain would be broken once a compiler will fail to recognize that it is supposed to modify the code that is a part of a compiler it is building.

  4. Yesssss! on Even Silicon Valley's Prison Inmates Have Their Own Startup Incubator · · Score: 1

    This is what we were missing -- violent criminals in position of control over other people!

    Can we, please, have LESS "entrepreneurs"?

  5. Re:Wait, what? on Former Pentagon Analyst: China Has Backdoors To 80% of Telecoms · · Score: 2

    Right, and "everyone involved in computer security" knows that this is completely unrealistic because modern compilers do not share common origin.

  6. Re:Misinformed Title on Microsoft Kills Windows Gadgets Via Security Update · · Score: 1

    Since you obviously work for Microsoft, we hate you, too. Go, kill yourself.

    Me first, anyone wants to join?

  8. Re:Nope on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 1

    Not this trial (that is absolutely pointless because he clearly has nothing of value). The murder one.

  9. Re:Can this be used to get a re-trial? on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 1

    For distinction between degrees of murder, and between murder and manslaughter, it is. Clearly, prolonged mental abuse, with the goal of financial gain, was involved.

  10. Re:Can this be used to get a re-trial? on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 1

    No, but if anyone else did that, it would not be a first degree murder.

  11. Can this be used to get a re-trial? on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 1

    I am not a lawyer, but it seems plausible that this can be used as an evidence of fraud in Hans' marriage/divorce/custody, what substantially changes the circumstances of killing Nina Reiser, invalidating the whole previous trial.

  12. lol stuxnet lite on Criminals Distribute Infected USB Sticks In Parking Lot · · Score: 1

    Idiots. Both of them.

  13. Re:Passport on fMRI Lets Israeli Student Control Robot In France With His Mind · · Score: 1

    Actually no, it's not possible to be Jewish and antisemitic. There are certain Jews who treat any attacks against themselves as antisemitism, and they should just shut up because it's stupid.

  14. Re:Inveterate invertebrates on Space Worms Live Long and Prosper · · Score: 3, Funny

    They should also have built-in weapons and a tendency to attack humanoids while screaming "Exterminate!".

  16. Re:Passport on fMRI Lets Israeli Student Control Robot In France With His Mind · · Score: 1

    I am Jewish (by origin, not by their shitheaded religion), and I think, government of Israel is a bunch of racist, ethnocentric theocrats that deserve nothing better than a kick in the nuts.

  17. Re:Good. on Mozilla Downshifting Development of Thunderbird E-Mail Client · · Score: 1

    The whole point is that you will never ever connect any mail reader to the original POP server again -- all mail is stored on your own IMAP server.

    gmail does.

  19. You are ignorant. on Ask Slashdot: Old Dogs vs. New Technology? · · Score: 1

    You have NO FUCKING IDEA how primitive your "knowledge" is and how close you are to your co-workers. What you think, you know is a worthless set of tricks combined with advertisement of equally worthless "new technologies".

  20. Re:Cut out that "free will" crap. on Headlights That See Through Rain and Snow · · Score: 1

    Distribution of probability is studied by the same statistical methods as everything else. This is why development of quantum physics did not cause any change in methodology of experiment.

    No, that's still a form of religion.

    Run your own IMAP server, and use something (fetchmail/getmail/fdm) to periodically copy mail from their POP server to your IMAP server.

    Fixing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213945 (and its dependencies) would do more for the benefit of the public than stupid previews in "New Tab" or other similar misfeatures in Firefox.
