  1. Oh no on Security Vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Passport · · Score: 5, Funny

    A remote user can change an arbitrary target user's password to an arbitrary value and then access the target user's account

    But that spam is personal to me. It's not for anyone else.

  2. Re:Save your money. on The Two Towers DVD Release Dates · · Score: 1

    Star Wars for example, will we ever see a digital DVD compilation? No.

    Yes we will. It's coming out after episode 3 is made.

  3. Why do I keep going round in circles? on How Would You Move Mount Fuji? · · Score: 0

    Shut up or I'll nail your other foot to the floor.

  4. I already am a twin on Parallel Universes Are Real · · Score: 1

    Does that mean there's another two of me out there?

  5. Concorde never recovered on Concorde to be Grounded · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately after the last concorde disaster I don't think people's confidence was quite restored in it. Coupled with the other problem that the general public have become wary of flying after 9/11 and the current Iraq situation, Concorde was bound to suffer as a consequence.

  6. Time to plug my "company" on Peter Molyneux Asks For Gov't Help For Small Shops · · Score: 1
    If everyone from Slashdot can download our games then I can get a handout from the government and make some top quality titles*

    Parallel Realities

    *no really, that's what I'll spend the money on.

  7. Predictable on Examining Microsoft Update · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Come on, be honest. Who's genuinely suprised by this?

  8. Re:100,000? on Turing Test 2: A Sense of Humor · · Score: -1, Redundant

    For 100 Grand Slashdot could get some editors that would acturally know their ass from a hole in the ground, and stop wtih the double-poasting

    And for 100 Grand you could get some private tutoring to help you learn to spell.

  9. Exemption for using the correct type of fuel on London to Introduce Traffic Congestion Charge · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you use the correct type of fuel (I think it's Diesel) then you become exempt from the Congestion Charge.

  10. Re:Not addressed in the article on London to Introduce Traffic Congestion Charge · · Score: 2, Funny

    You forgot

    6. Profit!!!

  11. The Getaway on PS2 on London to Introduce Traffic Congestion Charge · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you think the sequel will feature Congestion Charging?

  12. The centre will be clearer. The outskirts won't be on London to Introduce Traffic Congestion Charge · · Score: 5, Informative

    Since people won't be able to drive around the centre of London much less park there they will go and park immediately outside the Congestion Zone which will cause havoc. Fortunately some car parks have already taken note of this and are charging a daily rate of £4.60

  13. Re:Tubes already crowded on London to Introduce Traffic Congestion Charge · · Score: 5, Informative

    What would be even better is if they fix the problems with the Central Line. It's not going to be up and running in any state until the end of March.

  14. Re:uhhhhh on Microsoft Applies For .NET Patent · · Score: 1

    I always thought it was called C Sharp. Either I'm wrong or Microsoft has once again made a # of things.

  15. No need to invent it, we already have it on Blacker Than Black · · Score: 1

    It's the colour of all Lawyers hearts.

  16. Geek Elite? on Rise of the 'Consumer' Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    Is that like a cool version of a geek? Wouldn't that be an oxymoron?

  17. Blacklist the IP? on Mission: Infiltrate the P2P Network · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Surely it won't take very long for people to discover the IP addresses that the rogue files come from and block them? A (long) list of rogue IP addresses was posted on Slashdot a couple of weeks ago.

  18. Re:Blessing for smaller developers on Microsoft to Buy Vivendi Games Division? · · Score: 1

    This could be the spark of some real creativity as a slew of ideas gets to be tried.

    A game franchise is only a franchise for so long.


    I think the makers of Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest would disagree.

  19. Seg Fault on Brain Surgery Robot Running Linux · · Score: 1

    Just as long as it doesn't crash while it's doing something delicate. That would give a new meaning to the term Core Dumped

  20. What will we do if it went extinct? on Banana to be Sequenced · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think I'd go mad.

    Bananas even.

  21. Bored of the Rings on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    Slashdotted already. How about this one

    Bored of the Rings

  22. Re:Time Slot on Futurama Confirmed on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    Its kind of a drag that they gave it such a shitty timeslot. I don't know about you, but I'm a student and I have to wake up at 5:30am... there's no way I can stay up until 2am watching cartoons.

    Obviously you've never been stoned then.

  23. Why have Nintendo waited so long? on Nintendo's Playstation Settlement Bombshell (or not...updated) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Surely if Nintendo felt that Sony had screwed them over with the Original PlayStation (the SNES add on) then they should have said something back in 1994* not all these years later.

    *Obviously this date is incorrect.

  24. Hopefully on Square To Merge With Enix · · Score: 5, Funny

    Square and Enix will skip the next 18 Final Fantasy games and give us the one we're all waiting for:

    Final Fantasy XXX

  25. Would you like a larger mail box? on Email (As We Know It) Doomed? · · Score: 0

    Most web based e-mail services offer very tiny mail boxes, for instance Hotmail has a default size of 1MB. If you receive a decent amount of spam a day then your mail box will fill up pretty quickly and an important message for you may bounce back. These days we're being offered larger mail boxes instead of better spam protection.

    Which begs the question: Is spam being encouraged so that Microsoft/Yahoo et al can make money out of us?
