  1. Mitnick? on School Teaches 'Ethical Hacking' · · Score: 1

    "from the honorary-mitnick-doctorate dept."

    Strange ... the article title states 'Ethical Hacking' ...

    D.A.D. can already do this.

  3. Re:Who's providing helmets for the pedestrians? on Segways Roll Over Chicago · · Score: 1

    A bike? Rollerblades? A manual scooter? Skateboards? None of these on sidewalks, eh?

    Right.

    Bitter?

  5. Re:College on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    "...US secondary schools are so malfunctional..."

    "If you are a serious student, you can come away with a good education from almost any school."

    I believe the second statement I quoted can be said of the first statement I quoted, as well.

    I would argue that US secondary schools are ALSO supposed to teach you how to think & learn and that college is a higher level addition to that process.

    And that your sentiment regarding 'serious students' can also be applied to 'malfunctional' US secondary schools.

    BTW, 'malfunctional' is not a word.

  6. Re:Of course, it's a word on Snap Appliance Snap Server 1100 NAS Device · · Score: 1

    Just because you heard a word a lot in the .com BOOM doesn't mean that word doesn't apply.

    In final, the SNAP server is ROBUST. And by that, I mean it is powerfully built.

    Robust.

    The 1.2T with the proper webserver and bandwidth ... yes ... without a doubt.

    I work with a 1.2T SNAP daily ... these things are great. Reliable, scalable and robust.

  10. Re:5million, because they want a credit card. on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 1

    Not .5% ... 5%.

  11. Re:Prior Art on Microsoft Patents Timed Button Presses · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "in which your swing is determined by how long you hold your click"

    I read the 'cl' in "click" as a 'd'. That sentence means something COMPLETLY different if you exchange the 'cl' for a 'd'.

  12. Re:Dumbing down is a good thing on New Science Museum - Now With Real Science! · · Score: 1

    "Dumbing down is a good thing"

    Yeah ... you're right ... lowering standards so people can meet those standards is a GREAT thing.

  13. Re:WTF are you doing to it? on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    That is great and all ... but you are in the minority. You sound at least somewhat savvy ... perhaps you run and care for the OS better then most.

    Yes, and I wish I could mod you insightful.

    Concrete and/or even properly researched numbers and facts are indeed rare.

  19. Re:ARGH on Linux Spreads its Wings · · Score: 1

    Does this mean every last 'same old' status article printed in BW, Wall Street Journal, Fortune and/or Forbes should be reported on and editorialized by Slashdot?

    No. And if I am alone in this, so be it.

  20. Re:ARGH on Linux Spreads its Wings · · Score: 1

    :) I agree ... it is bitchy. I would like to see more articles about new and high technology then status articles though. *shrug* Even perhaps new Linux projects and the innovations within.

  21. ARGH on Linux Spreads its Wings · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is the same old TYPE of article we have been reading for the past three years. A status article.

    I now LOATHE Slashdot everytime I see an article about Linux either 'spreading it wings' or an article with the gist 'linux is dying'.

    These STATUS articles are unbearable.

    If I want to know the Linux, Windows or OS X market share I will look it up!

    This is a random rant so feel free to mod mod mod.

    When Linux and Microsoft Windows are splitting the non-Mac desktop market 50%/50% ... then yes, we can focus on something else.
