  1. Choice quote... on Colorado Researchers Crack Internet Chess Club · · Score: -1
    "Unless you have a lot of experience, don't try to invent your own security system, it will just be broken," said Black, an assistant professor of computer science in CU-Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Science. "Believe me, it's better to leave that job up to the experts."

  4. Re:Good sense... on Alan Cox on Writing Better Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sometimes it is just contemplating if it makes good sense. Sort of like "I wonder if it makes good sense to take an Internet browser that connects to the most insecure network on the planet, integrate it completely into the operating system and don't properly validate data that is recieved.

  11. Not everything... on AOL Moves Beyond Single Passwords for Log-Ons · · Score: -1
    unless the pr0n industry stands behind it. They've been early adopters on almost everything else that's been successful.

    Not everything has been successful for the Pr0n industry. For example, We don't have coin slots on our monitors that blank out the screen every 5 minutes of viewing. The mechanical screen saver was a complete bust...

  12. Occams Razor... on Mysterious Force Affects Pioneer 10 & 11 Probes · · Score: 0

    The simple explanation is that a slashdot editor typed a 3 in the years field instead of days field in the crontab file for the story-auto-dupe script.

    Hey now, maybe it's a good mushroom cloud. You know, like umm... err... a cotton candy factory exploding. That wouldn't be too bad, right?

    I gather you never watched Ghostbusters and witness the utter chaos when Mr Stay Puft exploded all over the place in globs of slimey goo. The only ones enjoying themselves were Dr. Peter Venkman and Dana Barret...

  19. Something to Bitch About! on Writing Software for Worldwide Distribution Proves Difficult · · Score: -1
    The Spanish version of Windows used the word Hembra - meaning "woman" in Spain - for choosing gender. But in some Central American republics, notably Nicaragua, the word is an insult meaning "bitch". The programme was changed.

  23. It would never happen on How Microsoft Could Embrace Linux · · Score: -1

    The author should give his head a shake. If Microsoft adopted Linux as a supported offering... well that would open it up for competition and we all know the arch enemy of Microsoft is competition. The only thing that keeps Microsoft competitive is proprietary products and their secret sauces. If the recipe is not secret anymore there will be competition and innovation. Imagine if you will, Kentucky Fried Turkey outlets opening up all over the place at half the price for a bucket.

  24. Depends on who makes the signs... on Visiting Every Latitude and Longitude Intersection · · Score: -1
    lest the intrepid explorer find their butt full of rocksalt or buckshot.

    My brother is an avid hunter and went out hunting for the first time with one of his crazy assed buddies. They drove for a few hours when they came to an area that had all sorts of signs that said tresspassers will be shot...absolutely no hunting.. you have been warned.. stay the fuck away... yada yada yada.

    My brother was really nervous when his buddy stopped the truck and climbed out to go hunting right where the signs were placed. So He says to his buddy what about all those signs, shouldn't we go elsewhere to hunt? His buddy yells back from the bushes - who do you think put them there? - It was public property and his buddy was protecting his hunting grounds from other hunters, the signs were placed so other hunters would think it was private property.
