  1. Limited = Stupid on BT to Offer Free Internet Calls · · Score: 2, Interesting
    They shouldn't limit this to the first X customers. Why the hell not give it to everyone? Include it in the basic broadband service. They already have the data network in place, so it shouldn't really cost them too much.

    Doing it for only the first X makes it just a gimmick. [spits]

  2. Re:lunchtime on FTC Email Authentication Summit · · Score: 1

    I second that motion.

  3. lunchtime on FTC Email Authentication Summit · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hope they served SPAM for lunch.

  4. good or bad on Mandrakelinux 10.1 Out For PPC · · Score: 1
    > The interesting news is that this version of Mandrakelinux is now a community-driven project.

    So is that good or bad? Sounds like it is bad to me, if they were previously being helped and are now not.

    Ah well, I am very happy with darwin underneath my pretty OSX eye candy.

  5. public health care on Trials for Type 1 Diabetes Cure · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can understand how this could happen in the US. My question is: Why doesn't she go to Canada or somewhere else where the health care system is publicly funded. Is such countries the economic factors greatly favor a cure, rather then ongoing treatments.

  6. Die telco die! on FCC Rules States Can't Regulate VoIP · · Score: 1
    Weeehaw! I am all in favor of anything that puts another nail into the coffin of a telco. They are some of the worst fscking companies there are. Bad customer service, weird charges, slow to act, etc, etc, etc!

    I have seen the future, and its name is Voip!

  7. 2001 on Theorists Tackle Mysterious 'Baby' Planet · · Score: 1

    Wait, I am confused. Is this the giant space-baby planet that was in 2001? I thought that baby was close to earth. I guess he could have siblings though.

  8. Here's my method on Windows Forensics and Incident Recovery · · Score: 3, Funny
    Granted I have been called crazy, but here's my computer forensics method:

    Bring the computer to my office.

    Administer a morphine injection.

    Ask the computer about his feelings (particularly towards his parenting fab)

    Administer another morphine injection (to myself this time).

    Play some Diablo 2 on the computer.

    Upgrade computer's video card.

    Play some more Diablo 2.

    Charge computer's owner some big money.

    One last morphine injection for the road.

    Lather, rinse, repeat and you've got one hell of a business!

  9. The name is AOL on AOL to be Split into 4 Units · · Score: 1

    Is Time Warner part of any of those divisions?

  10. say it ain't so on Fred Nilsson Leaves id Software · · Score: 2, Funny
    Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

  11. hehehe, IBM knows how to play on Earth Simulator, G5 Cluster Drop In 'Top 500' List · · Score: 3, Funny

    IIRC then IBM just came out with their entry very recently. Perhaps they know how to play supercomputer sniping. It's easy to learn on ebay.

  12. my beef with corporations on Music Downloading not Entirely to Blame · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I get really pissed off when big corporations have the facts, but then spout an entirely different view to the public. The music industry knows that piracy isn't the biggest cause, yet in public (to congressmen) they are screaming bloody murder.

    It's the exact same thing with the pharma companies withholding the results of studies that are damaging to them. Ditto for the tobacco companies. I wish there was something that forced big companies to tell the truth when they have it.

  13. slashdot accomplishes something! on Google Image Index Just Not Updated · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am pretty happy with the outcome of this story. Good on google for answering the allegations. Even when they must reveal some disparaging facts about their image search by doing so.

  14. Radical thinking on NASA Prize Competition Solicits Ideas and Partners · · Score: 1
    The best idea that I can come up with would be to shut NASA down. If they were gone it would increase the incentive for more companies to get involved in various space projects.

    I will not submit this to them though. I don't think they would choose it.

  15. 4530? That's nothing. on 4503 Electronic Votes Lost in NC · · Score: 4, Funny
    4530 is nothing compared to all the votes that I knocked off when I hacked that Florida machine. You'd think they would get suspicious if you stay in the booth for sooo long, but I guess they are used to the slow-pokes in the sunshine state.

    Anyway, thanks /. for giving me all the info about evoting fraud that I needed before the election. I was expecting for it not to work, but the machines are dead fuckin simple.

    God bless America, and my h4xxor 5killz 2.

  16. Planet Triangle on Venus/Jupiter Conjunction Tomorrow · · Score: 5, Funny
    Shit, Mars is gonna FREAK OUT if he catches Jupiter slam-bamming his babe Venus. I sure hope they made sure that the sun is blocking their 'conjuction'.

    Of course, I also hope that they are putting this show on pay-per-view, cause that Venus chick is HOT!

  17. in time for 2008? on Maddog on the State of Linux · · Score: 4, Funny
    I can see it now: The US passes an amendment to allow foreign citizens to be president and we get a Linus vs. Arnold campaign.

    And be careful, because if 'Linus' isn't a girlieman name then I don't know what is.

  18. the response I am waiting for... on Novell Swings Back at Ballmer · · Score: 5, Funny

    So when is Novell going to put together a Linux inspired dance ensemble to counter Ballmer's moves?

  19. Re:Hit Lucas Where It Hurts on Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer Today · · Score: 1
    . If the movie sucks, don't delay the profit, cut it off.

    You will cut it off more if you don't go and see it right away. Let other people tell YOU that it sucked. Then you won't be contributing any $$$ to the bullshit.

  20. Hit Lucas Where It Hurts on Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer Today · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I call on all slashdotters to join me in a protest against the sucky star wars prequels. Now I know that an all-out boycott would never work with most of you guys (myself too). So this is what I propose:

    Wait a minimum of 1 week after the movie's release before seeing it. This act in itself would send a message that people were not happy with the prequels if lots of people did it.

    Some people will undoubtedly see it right away. If they say that the movie was actually good, then feel free to go and see it after your week of abstinence. If they say the movie was as shitty as the last 2 then wait 1 more week. Repeat as you see fit.

  21. Blame? on Australian Counter Strike Shooters · · Score: 4, Funny

    I blame Satan. Granted I do blame him for most things. That guy's an asshat.

  22. Here's hoping on Halflife 2 Coming to an Arcade Nowhere Near You · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I hope for their sake that Half-life 2 doesn't suck.

  23. Re:why not sony? on PS3 and XBox 2 Processors to be Exactly the Same? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, that makes sense. Thanks for your reply.

  24. Jar jar on Matrix Online Voice Talent Locked In · · Score: 1

    They should get a jar-jar-binks character. It would be tons of fun to pump a machine gun full of bullets into that chump.

  25. why not sony? on PS3 and XBox 2 Processors to be Exactly the Same? · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that Sony manufactured all of the PS parts using its own companies. Doing so would make tremendous sense, since they would get a huge hunk of business out of it, as opposed to IBM.
