  1. Re:This guy is talking out of his ass on Too Cool For Secure Code? · · Score: 1
    Then the author took the time to point out security holes in popular unix software. I'm glad he did this because you couldn't do the same for other systems

    It's a good job then that Linux zealots don't spend their entire lives pointing out problems with MS software. Oh.

  2. Re:Upskirt? on Beer and Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    I think he actually means 'unwanted' upskirt photos, i.e. sadacts taking pictures of girls without their knowing, which is, to anyone sane, quite obviously not on. Ergo, he has a good point.

    that sums up books for you so you don't need to bother reading the full story? I've done the same here, only I've managed to achieve 100% lossless compression.

  4. Seconded on Clear Case Roundup · · Score: 1

    I'd also like to apply the same rationale to any tech goods reviewed, especially flash new phones: on comes the perennial whiner 'well, I just want MY phone to make calls on' - DON'T FUCKING BUY ONE THEN, CUNT!

    why don't we make people that surf questionable material wear a distinctive mark

    Er, they do. They carry an extra 100 pounds of weight, wear glasses, have terrible complexions and 'unusual' stains on their thinkgeek t-shirts with 'witty' slogans. They also thing chicks dig case mods.

    He said quite clearly, as you quoted, that this is not Microsoft's fault.

    Er, no he didn't. If this is *clearly*...

    "for once a security problem that isn't really Microsoft's fault."

    then you are not really a Linux Zealot Faggot.

    Care to back that up with references?

    Yes, you've done it for me. You've gone and searched for all the Outlook problems and found none where, and I quote, 'Outlook happily opens and runs evil scripts'.

    The Outlook problem that gives anti-M$ zealots the firmest hard-on is the one where vbs scripts in an email were run automatically. This is what I, and the parent poster, who was full of shit, were talking about.

    The problems you have highlighted are, although similar, fundamentally different problems.

    I wasn't saying that Outlook is perfect (hell, even Linux isn't perfect!), just that the said allegation was incorrect.

    Thanks for all the effort you went to though.

    No, we can still patent the same old people spouting the same old tired misguided opinions as yesterday on a different but very similar story.

    Dude, what you need is a life. AFAICT Fulkkari is from Finland. You may bitch about his English when your Finnish is beyond reproach.

    So in what way does this reduce his need for an English grammar checker - would this not aid him?

    Sorry? Can you just confirm this for me? The general plebian public who use Windows get less sex that the general Slashdot user, who obviously contributes extensively to open source projects? Is that right? Is that really what you're trying to say?

    I wouldn't call Outbreak an improvement unless you're a virus writer. First thing I do when forced to install it for a client is to remove the Vicious Basic support, #2 is to install a virus scanner.

    If you're such a genius I'd expect that your clients would all have virus scanners on their PC's already.

    Could anyone tell me the difference what Office look like? Ofcourse it's nice if the interface is good etc, but I can do everything I need with my Office 2000. I could even managage with Office 95 for sure. I see no reason why to buy a new Office. What we really need is stability

    No, what you need is a grammar checker.

    I used to know a guy who would draft trucks on long drives... get right up behind them, and put the car in neutral and let them pay for the gas...


    What? In nuetral, within about, er, 10 seconds, the car would have slowed enough to fall behind the truck.


    This 'drafting' effect does not 'pull' the cars behind along, but reduces the drag caused by the friction of car on air.


    Lets ignore for a moment the fact that your imaginary friend is putting himself at high risk of colliding with the trcuk if it braked hard.
