  1. Precious on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Detector Ring Project · · Score: 3, Funny

    ubergeek is when you go around calling it "my precious".

  2. Re:MS Encryption is a joke on Zimmermann Enters Debate on Microsoft Encryption · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Until 'someone' *is* the administrator... :D

  3. CFIUS / The Global Crossing example... on US Government May Not Approve Sale of IBM PC Unit · · Score: 1

    The CFIUS is a joke. Although Hutchinson Whampoa never acquired GC, Singapore Technologies Telemedia (ST Telemedia) [another foreign company] did... Richard Perle was hired by the GC board to lobby the transaction with the Bush administration.
    Bush approved the sale of the one of the largest U.S. fiberoptics network to a foreign entity in the middle of a war.

  4. Re:XML-RPC did this *years* ago on What is JSON, JSON-RPC and JSON-RPC-Java? · · Score: 1
    Thank you for helping me make my point. :) The ruby parser is a single line.

    (BTW, how do you embed a Ruby call in an HTML page?). The JavaScript version is longer is just as cryptic. This seems like the new kludge, not the new standard.

  5. Re:XML-RPC did this *years* ago on What is JSON, JSON-RPC and JSON-RPC-Java? · · Score: 1

    with simple protcols like JSON (..) you hardly even need a library
    uhmmmm....
  6. Re:XML-RPC did this *years* ago on What is JSON, JSON-RPC and JSON-RPC-Java? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, how does it suck?

  7. XML-RPC did this *years* ago on What is JSON, JSON-RPC and JSON-RPC-Java? · · Score: 1
    XML-RPC did this years ago:

    What is XML-RPC?

    It's a spec and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet.

    It's remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.

    It works quite well too. Next, please!

  8. Best Slashdot sig ever read on In The Beginning Was The Command Line, Updated · · Score: 4, Funny

    "I was raised on the command line, bitch"

  9. Re:Already have it in France on TV Over Phone Lines To Arrive In 2005 · · Score: 1

    yeah, no shit.

  10. Mr Torr on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Apparently just joined MS's crack security team last Thursday... needless to say, he's a real expert!

  11. Re:I call BS... on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    Wrong. At every large theatre where I live (western NY) you get at least a solid 1/2 hour of commercials.

  12. Isn't Religion... on Internet Porn More Addictive Than Crack, Senate Told · · Score: 1

    crack for the masses? There seems to be a lot more people addicted to it than there are people addicted to porn.

  13. Re:Speaking of crack... on Internet Porn More Addictive Than Crack, Senate Told · · Score: 1

    Slashdot user autopr0n would you please standup and raise your right hand.

  14. Re:Hmm.. on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 1

    How about we start with the Principal & the Provost? make sure they stay in their office at least 8 hours a day.
    ...LAND OF THE FREE? Not anymore.

  15. Re:Yes of course on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    New York has the best water in of any city in the entire world

    uhmmm... WRONG ! or did I miss the joke?

  16. Re:Squeezebox on How Do You Handle Home Media? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Squeezebox is the greatest thing ever invented. The Shoutcast plugin for it is awesome.

  17. Re:Hang on... on Firefox Seeks Full Page Ad in New York Times · · Score: 1

    I'm kind of puzzled myself...

    Also, why *a single page* on one of the most expensive newsprint outfit in the country? Bill Gates must be loving it... MS can follow that up with a full 2-page color glossy for the next 3 weeks.

  18. Re:For those that think F9/11 is truthful... on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    I don't see the irony at all. The real question is: did he fabricate these images? Not really. It's really Bush giving a press conference from a golf course, not Moore making it up.
    Actually, the fact that he *didn't* shoot the footage makes his case even stronger.

  19. Re:A YRO topic?? on California AG Says He'll Sue Diebold · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Soon someone will be asking why it's not posted under crazyliberalconspiracytheories.slashdot.org . That's why it needs to be posted on the homepage.

  20. SharePoint anyone? on Database File System · · Score: 2, Informative

    While everybody is busy making fun of WinFS, Microsoft is very quietly and successfully letting their customers install SharePoint sites all over the place.
    As usual, Xerox came up with the concept years ago (DocuShare). Sigh.

  21. Re:What is Freedom? on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1
    In France, saying "I think Jews own the press" can land you in court. That's wrong. Also, saying "I think Catholics own the press" won't.

    Since when??? Some examples, please. Otherwise, we might have to read your entire post as bullshit.

  22. Spellcheck anyone? on The PHP Anthology - Volume I, 'Foundations' · · Score: 3, Funny

    it's a mad mad word.

  23. file formats on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 4, Funny

    Microsoft guys: wma
    Java guys: mp3
    Mainframe: shn (the only way to listen to Dead shows)
    Sysadmins: ogg
    OS X: aac
    Security guy: anything as long as it's on an encrypted partition

  24. Blame Microsoft on How Would You Handle a $1,000,000 Coding Error? · · Score: 1

    It always works. ;)

  25. Can you boot Darwin with GRUB on x86? on Gentoo for Mac OS X Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Has anyone been able to do this? It's been driving me crazy for the last couple of days! Any clues?
