  1. Anyone with a directory of thai politicians? on Thai Gov't Sets Up Site For Snitching On Royals' Critics · · Score: 1

    is there a proxy in Thailand? Could we not all start reporting all of the politicians, one by one, that exist in Thailand?

    Can't put them all in jail.

  2. Re:Slashdot achievements on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 5, Informative

    Obviously!

  3. Too bad PNNL is run by a bunch of anti-gun bigots. on Bacteria Can Build Nanowires · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    http://pnnl.info/ for the info

  4. I RTFA on Watercooling the XBox 360 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    and there's no there, there. Wow, two pictures of a cooling system. Be still my heart!

    Nice of Nexus to get two stories almost in a row, too.

  5. You can see my house from there on Windows Live goes Local · · Score: -1, Flamebait
  6. What did you expect? on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You're a liability. You got paid. Be happy.

  7. Oh no! on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 1

    I'm involved in the BoomerShoot and there's a whole website about making explosives there. I wonder when all of this will be illegal?

  8. "one good law"? on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry On the Way? · · Score: 1

    It violates the ninth, tenth, and first amendments. How is that a good law?

  9. Well, come on out to Idaho on Chemistry Sets for Adults? · · Score: 1

    I work on some cool exothermic experiments with other people once a year.

  10. Re:Benchmarks that MATTER... on The Speed Demon That Is Tux 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Fabio? Is this you?

  11. Proxy servers? No log files? on FBI Seeks 2 Days Of IndyMedia Traffic Log · · Score: 5

    I run a couple proxy servers around the net and they all log to /dev/null. Don't track a thing. All of my web servers are the same for hit counting... after a half hour, the IPs are all gone. Why can't people who are going to taunt the FBI learn something and just NOT LOG A DAMN THING?

  12. Why ape Microsoft? on Direct3D on Linux? · · Score: 1

    Direct3D is cool and all, but why is chasing Microsoft a good thing? The Linux community should be able to produce something that competes in this space quite easily, without paying tribute to MSFT.

  13. D'oh! on Microsoft's Passport: No Marylanders, Thanks · · Score: 5

    How is it that we allow this to go on? Oh yeah, everyone just clicks OK when the big box full of text pops up. We need to get used to this type of conflict, or start our own services like passport that aren't so silly in construction.

  14. All this talk about Tux... on Red Hat Linux 7.1 Release Announcement · · Score: 2

    Chromium (where I used to work) sells a user space Apache that's as fast as Tux. Too bad I don't work there any more.

  15. Mandrake is already done with 7.1! on Red Hat Linux 7.1 Release Announcement · · Score: 4

    How can we look to RedHat for technical leadership when Mandrake has already used this version number?

  16. I'm glad it's over, but I doubt he'll ever see $ on Sex.com Returned to Original Owner · · Score: 1

    It's too bad about that part with the weak security and all, but I can't see how he'll ever collect a dime. Hopefully sex.com can start serving up some goodies soon...

  17. Suck and Criminal? on Baseball Fans Must Pay To Listen Online · · Score: 1

    Please. MLB wants to make money off a valuble franchise and Real has a stock price in the single digits. Get over it, everyone needs to get paid.

  18. This is going to wear out some necks! on Mouse Begone: Use Head Movements And IR Instead · · Score: 1

    Since you usually don't swing your whole head around to look around your screen, this is gonna cause a whole lot of neck pain. Too bad, cool idea.

  19. Of course it is. on Is The Web Becoming Unsearchable? · · Score: 2

    What do you expect? Pay for listing is the only way search engines will make money. Think about it: Would you use a search engine that charged a little, but provided much better results (ie no dead links, no off-topic stuff)? Think NorthernLight.Com does this.

  20. Having worked at Microsoft... on Racism At Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    I have to say this is the biggest pile of bullshit ever. At microsoft, you get railed on for being stupid (being asked by BillG "who hired you? why?" is a career ender) and doing dumb shit but NEVER NEVER over race. I have never seen a company that goes further to extract the most IQ points from a person regardless of any physical attribute than MS. These guys are a bunch of losers hoping for a free lunch.

  21. This is awesome! on Planets In The Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    I want to move to another planet... our only chance to save the human race is by becoming a space-faring race, and I'm all for colonizing distant balls of rock.

    Although, given our track record, we would probably just turn it into a sterile ball of rock in a few hundred years.

  22. We need sunshine laws on NASA's Odds For Iridium De-Orbit Casualties · · Score: 1

    Once again, an effort to study an event was funded by tax dollars while the results were kept secret. We need laws to open up to the public any research paid for with tax dollars... we paid for it once, we should have free access to it.

  23. Linux microkernel on GNOME ORBit Ported To Linux Kernel · · Score: 2

    The proper way to fix Linux is to fix Linux, not to hide all the broken stuff under a layer of latency-adding abstraction. Do you ever do performance tests on your ideas or do you just code with the force? Very non-obvious things can have huge impact on performance and therefore usability. Adding a layer of abstraction will not help.

    If you think I'm wrong, look at NT... it's all abstracted. If you want NT you know where to get it.

  24. Making life harder on GNOME ORBit Ported To Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    So what we're doing here is making life in userland harder... just because you're an OK app programmer doesn't mean you're an OK kernel programmer. It's this type of hackery that made NT4 so.. uh, stable. "Move it to the kernel!" We're on crack if we think Linux will be immune to the stability issues that Windows has just because we're open source.

    Plus, since Linux (the kernel, yes) doesn't ship with a kernel debugger, how the heck can we expect people to submit bug reports?

  25. I disagree. on NymIP: Anonymity At The IP Layer · · Score: 3

    Anonymous political speech is what it's all about. You need to be able to say things without dying for your cause... so much pain comes to those who speak out (ask Ken Sare We-wa (sp)).
