  1. Network shutdown on Slate On Worms That Plug Security Holes · · Score: 1

    I would like to see the "Swiss army knight", the ultimate white knight for viruses.

    It hacks into your computer and disables the network connection after some period. No software/installation damage.

    Sure, it stops your buissness, but it minimizes damage for others using the internet.

  2. Thought for the day on Microsoft Plans News Aggregator · · Score: 1

    Thought for the day:

    Why does the a software developer, that happens to have nearly monopoly on the market, suddenly want to tell people whats news and what's not. ?

  3. Guns for kids on In The Works: Windows For Supercomputers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Next logical step is probably:
    Guns made safe for children!

  4. System req. and TCO on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder why they left out the system req. for Office, since that is actually a BIG factor in the "Total cost of ownership" they talk about.

  5. Miss or false positive on Planetary Defense: Protecting Earth from Asteroids · · Score: 2, Funny

    1. INCOMING!
    2. Fire nuke
    3. Oh, just a false positive
    4. Nuke comes down on (afghanistan|iraq|...)
    5. Oh, well ...

  6. Jen on Two-Legged Home Robot, Coming Soon To Japan · · Score: 0

    It would have been nice if the story poster would have calculated the 500,000 Jen to US Dollars, or actually how many of you knew already how much 1 Jen is worth? :-)

  7. Re:If you believe so on Is Microsoft Paying To Influence UN Standards? · · Score: 1

    Indeed. It's called corruption and often associated with thing called bribery.

  8. Re:Battery on iPod's Two-Year Anniversary · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think people should still take a look at this: ipodsdirtysecret

  9. Bias on Microsoft Introduces Competition For Google News · · Score: 1

    No joking or trolling, but:

    Does anyone think that MS is capable of providing unbiased headlines regarding other OS ?

    Headlines like, " --- government decides to move away from microsoft products" ?

  10. Call to arms on A Gator By Any Other Name · · Score: 1

    Now, everybody should put a link on the 'links' page (or any other page of their choise), naming the link "Spyware" and pointing it to: http://www.claria.com/

    Like: <a href="http://www.claria.com/">Spyware</a>

    And guess what google will do? Yes, correct :-)

  11. Re:Performance increase on Swiss Researchers Exploit Windows Password Flaw · · Score: 1

    ... it exists due to a flaw in Microsoft's specific implementation, so really the original poster is right, this isn't big news of any sort.
    Yeah, we all know "a flaw in Microsoft's specific implementation" isn't a big deal, since it's just a small company with almost no market share in the industry :)

  12. Re:Version 0??? on Ogg Now An RFC · · Score: 1

    Doesn't MIDI files have, format 0 and format 1 ?

  13. IE ? on Verisign Granted DNS Lookup Patent · · Score: 1

    What does IE or Netscape do if you just type in 'slashdot' in the address field ?

    Now, This article almost sound like a hoax.

  14. So small ? on Micro-Helicopter Fun · · Score: 1

    >So small that it can drop a sugar cube into your cup of coffee.

    Size doesn't really matter in dropping a sugar cube into my coffee cup. It's not THAT hard to imagine an Apache helicopter dropping a sugar cube into my cup :-)
