  1. Masking tape over the built-in camera on 4 Tips For Your New Laptop · · Score: 1

    Value your privacy.

  2. Re:Hanlon's Razor on The STEM Crisis Is a Myth · · Score: 5, Funny

    Clearly, powerful forces must be at work to perpetuate the cycle

    Wow. I do believe a dose of Hanlon's Razor is in order here.

    Exactly what the powerful forces want us to believe.

  3. I volunteered on Ohio Zoo Attempts To Mate Female Rhino With Her Brother For Species Survival · · Score: 2

    but was ignominiously rejected.

  4. Re:7-Zip on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    For 100KB?

    LZMA is how 500GB can be reduced to 100 kB.

  5. 7-Zip on Boeing 787s To Create Half a Terabyte of Data Per Flight · · Score: 1

    LZMA is Boeing's friend.

  6. Sensitive sensor on Canon Shows the Most Sensitive Camera Sensor In the World · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, it won't plead for too many trips to the psychotherapist.

  7. Re:The slow erosion of our rights on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, you're just overreacting, like most people on Slashdot

    Tell that to those who ran Linux/BSD on their PlayStation 3s.

  8. The slow erosion of our rights on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While this article is framed as a victory for the consumer, it is yet another reminder that technology [such as Cinavia] can, and will, be used to subvert our existing rights [to lend, copy, borrow, make backups].

    Step by step, resistance will be overcome and we shall be reduced to facilitators of consumption, thanks to the ever-increasing apathy amongst the general public.

  9. India on Can You Potty Train a Cow? · · Score: 1

    The researchers could do far worse than consult the sub-continental experts on the other side of the planet.

  10. Schadenfreude on Brazilians Can Now Buy an "iPhone" Loaded With Android · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Every now and then, an event occurs that should not [but does] fill one's heart with joy — mainly because of a universal form of justice being executed. This is one of those moments.

  11. Here's the SSL-enabled 2.2.15 package on Serious Apache Exploit Discovered · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apparently, there were regressions with the build.

    Here's revision 2 of Apache 2.2.15 with OpenSSL. Preliminary reports indicate that it works like it should.

  12. Re:Sounds like features I need from an audio file on Bach Launches Updated MP3 Format · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You're right, but sageres used the correct terminology in the first place. Ogg Vorbis is the accurate name of Vorbis streams enclosed in Ogg containers.

  13. 3D pr0n on The Future of Cinema - 'Real' 3D · · Score: 1

    This is yet another technology that the porn industry can bring into the mainstream.

    Boobies you can reach out for!

    Pussies you could almost eat!

    A beowulf cluster of ejaculating penises!

    Oh, shit ...

  14. Re:duh on Exhaustive Data Compressor Comparison · · Score: 4, Informative

    LZMA ... is not on the list 7-Zip [included in the test] is based on LZMA.
  15. Re:I feel a disturbance in the net... on Blackberry Network is Down · · Score: 5, Funny

    Voices? Silenced?

    Much you have to learn, young PDAwan.

  16. Yay! on Debian 4.0 'Etch' Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    I still remember my Woody days *sniff*

  17. Re:No, I'm New Here on Dealing With Venom on the Web · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if you'd show up :-)

  18. Slashdot moderation maintains civility? on Dealing With Venom on the Web · · Score: 5, Funny

    Clearly, they must be new here.

  19. Re:Something seems to be wrong... on Zeta Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    640kb? Who cares?

    Someone in Redmond?

  20. Re:huh? on Meaningful MD5 Collisions · · Score: 1

    I find it hard to believe that even Slashdot readers find this interesting.

    This latest development should not only concern us nerds, but the rest of us as well. You see, this time they demonstrated that two messages can have the same hash, and neither of them need look like gibberish.

    In other words, one might read "Bow before me and my enormous todger!" while the forgery could be "Warning: you need an electron microscope to view my penis". How can one tell which is real and which is fake?

  21. So what happened? on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I thought Canada was all for fair use? Such a concept would vanish should this come into force.

  22. Re:You know it's a dupe when... on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 2, Funny


    Do other people find jokes in the parent funnier when the Oh wait.. is left out?

    Yes!

    Oh, wait...

  23. OTOH on What to Expect from Linux 2.6.12 · · Score: 1

    I have used your mum's box, and it was a pleasant experience. I must admit gaining root access was a laugh, even though bitchchecker had no luck :-)

  24. Comparison of lossless codecs on Which Lossless Audio Codec, and Why? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Refer to the lossless codecs comparison on Hydrogen Audio.

    Personally, I'd go for Wavpack due to its excellent compression, non cpu-intensive decoding, cross-platform support, active development and open license. If the Rockbox project succeeds, I'll be able to play them on my iRiver.

  25. Autopackage on Is Ubuntu a Compatibility Nightmare for Debian? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Use AutoPackage and all will be well.

    Or maybe not.
