  1. Typo on Review Mandrake Linux 9.1 Power Pack Edition · · Score: 3, Funny

    Debian != Mandrake :)

  2. Re:enough is enough on A Hotter Sun May Be Contributing To Global Warming · · Score: 1

    New axis of evil:
    1. Iraq
    2. Iran
    3. North Korea
    4. Sun

  3. Re:Not Bad... on Making The GPL Easier For Companies To Swallow · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, anything is better than no consideration of the GPL at all..

  4. Re:In order to keep it secret... on Microsoft Bug May Attract Big Worm · · Score: 4, Funny
    Top officials have decided to post it on Slashdot.
    We will probably hear about it a few more times :)
  5. Re:I am kind of impressed on WebDAV Buffer Overflow Attack Compromises IIS 5.0 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Some admins run unpatched machines because they're more scared of what damage the patch will do than the security hole...

  6. Slashdotted on Fooling NMAP for Whatever Reason · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, this proves that it doesn't matter what OS fingerprint you have, you can still get slashdotted...

  7. Re:umm ok on Amazon Becomes Domain Name Registrar · · Score: 1

    I thought dups were what /. was all about...

  8. Re:No Lance Bass? on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    Thanks for making me laugh. I know this is a sad time, but sometimes you got to laugh and take your mind off the situation, even if just for a few seconds.

    May god bless their souls.

  9. Re:Can't earn money? on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 1

    This isn't true. AFAIK he was only prohibited from using a computer and the internet, not from holding any other job.

    But guess what he's good at...

  10. Oregon on Oregon Considers GPS-based Road Taxes · · Score: 2

    I didn't know Britain had interests in Oregon... ;)

  11. Re:the major problem with wireless... on UN Advised on Wireless Insecurity · · Score: 2

    It is always this way -- with security and convienience. You will never be able to have an optimum amount of both. When you want convienience, at least some security must be sacrificed. Works the other way too. You have to find that "happy medium"

  12. Re:Mozilla 1.2 - The Release that Shouldn't Have B on DHTML Bug Found in Mozilla 1.2 · · Score: 2

    Mozilla 1.2 is not the stable branch. Use the 1.0 or even 1.1 if you want more stability.

  13. Re:This is 100% stupid on All Source Code Should Be Open, Revisited · · Score: 2

    Hmmm. Good point -- it might be better if the company was required to provide the source, but not necessarily on the regular disc, as long as it was available on their website or on another CD.

  14. Beach Boys on Measuring Good Vibrations · · Score: 2

    The Beach Boys would be so proud :)

  15. Re:Clippy on Smart Pool Table · · Score: 2

    It looks like you are trying to degrade a post that was supposed to be funny :)

    Seriously, it wasn't supposed to be technical...

  16. Clippy on Smart Pool Table · · Score: 3, Funny

    The technology behind James, who looks like a professional pool player, is the same Microsoft uses for its paperclip office assistant.

    Uh oh, Clippy has invaded pool tables

  17. Re:Not Suspended.. on Intergraph Injunction Against Intel Suspended For Now · · Score: 2, Troll

    I think slashdot has adopted a post-now/spell check later policy...:)

  18. Re:Interesting on Antimatter Space Drive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You say that nothing is impossible--try slamming a revolving door. :)

  19. Weird Slashdot Happenings on Nintendo Fined $143m for Price-Fixing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot linking to kuro5hin!?!? I thought giving people 30 mod points was bad :)

  20. Re:*sigh* on New Spam Frontier: Referer Logs · · Score: 2

    Did you read the article? Some sites like to brag and show visitors where people are coming from--if you spam the referrer log, you can get your links on these kinds of pages...

  21. Re:*sigh* on New Spam Frontier: Referer Logs · · Score: 2

    I think their logic is that there are some stupid idiots that will fall for the tricks. They send spam to everyone they can, looking for those few...

  22. Well.. on New Spam Frontier: Referer Logs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He just got a link posted on /. and Wired--I wonder how many spammers are going to target him now...This seems a little aganist logic

  23. Huh? on Slashback: BitKeeper, Maine, Novell · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is the Gates Foundation sponsoring a campaign to buy Apple laptops? Not a troll, just wondering.

  24. Re:Oh well on What To Expect From KDE 3.1 · · Score: 2

    Hopefully they'll offer an update for it...

  25. Great Day! on Retro Activity: MorphOS 1.0 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a great day...neither BeOS nor Amiga is dead! :-)
