  1. What. Ever. on Clear Has Nationwide Outage · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This seems like pretty irresponsible reporting, so far as I can tell. What? A forum post on Clear's support forums had a few comments, and BAM! Front page of Slashdot. Pure awesome. Duh, guys.

  2. Re:After 10 years? on RubyGems' Module Count Soon To Surpass CPAN's · · Score: 1

    This is the dumbest thing I've seen anyone say on Slashdot. Yes, you're so right. If you're still learning something after ten years, it must suck.

  3. Re:Your FastIron is Faulty on Can Anyone Suggest a Good Switch? · · Score: 1

    I fully one hundred percent agree - a Foundry Big Iron 15000 is exactly what he needs. I work for one of the largest dot coms on the planet, and every piece of our network runs on Foundry gear. Not a single chassis or blade has failed on us in five years.

    Whatever he's running is broken.

  4. Re:Lots of cross-referencing to do. on MATRIX - A Dossier for Every Person in Utah · · Score: 1

    Ok...ummm...I grew up in this religion, got married in this religion, etc. I'm not a member anymore, but I *do* know all there is to know about the goings-on within the religion.

    The stuff that you read in Krakhauer's book is a crock of shit. The only kids in our religion that change parents are the same as those anywhere else- the ones given up for adoption.

    It is a falsity also that men can lose their families by going against the prophet.

    When you get married, you both receive a 'name' for the other person. The bishop actually has no clue what the 'name' is, because he isn't involved in your marriage (generally).

    Dude...I think there are some really weird aspects to the LDS faith, but come on! Do you really think that this crackpot BS would attract 17million plus people???

  5. Re:Wait a minute. on Yet Another Exchange Killer? · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but you also need to buy the client access license for the windows server.

    Keep adding to that $1844...

  6. Re:The photographer is right on The Art of Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    And here again, the point of his paper was missed altogether. He is respecting the photographer's rights. He is also stating that, inevitably, that photographer will go out of business anyhow. He's right. Photographs of weddings is a trade, not necessarily considerable as an art form. People will increasingly want the digital forms of these pictures. Those who provide these forms (perhaps at higher prices) will stay in business.

  7. Re:Copyright is Copyright on The Art of Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    There was no high horse. You have just re-stated the author's point. Obviously, he's now forced to respect the photographer's copyright- he wasn't allowed the CD of pictures. His point was just that this particular photographer will not stay in business for much longer.

  8. Re:Thanks on A Private European Internet? · · Score: 1

    I, too, would like to thank selectspec for the laugh. It's rare that I *do* laugh at content in user postings.

    Thanks again.

  9. Re:Laptops aren't usually feasible. on Wireless Internet In An Off-Grid House · · Score: 1

    You're just wrong... after we got to 1GHz, computers became fast enough for the general population to do just about anything. That argument just doesn't work as well as it use to.

    Another note: Laptops are up to 2.2GHz, with 60GB Hard Drives, and CD-RW/DVD drives. All for about the same price as a fully loaded Dell.

  10. Re:Anyone else email Ferson? on HP Backs Off DMCA Threat · · Score: 1

    This *was* a form reply. I had further discussion with both him and a couple other guys at HP. Anybody who pushed farther than the original form-response from Mr. Ferson is probably a big cause for the reversal.

  11. Re:Did they actually increase the res though? on New Sony VAIO Laptop w/ 16.1" Screen · · Score: 1

    The 15" screens are NOT 1600x1200... they are 1400x1050. So yeah, the 16" screen DOES increase the resolution, because NOW it is 1600x1200.

  12. Re:What about DSL? on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    Most in Utah already are... Qwest may not be limiting, but the independent ISPs are all putting caps on the amount of data you can download/upload across your xDSL line.

  13. Probably RBL'd on What's So Bad about e-Mail Forwarding? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'll bet this guy has been blacklisted. There's no way in hell that a network provider like RoadRunner would just disallow forwarded email. As mentioned previously, email is forwarding. Without forwarding, there is no email (in most cases).

  14. Re:it aint the CIA.... on Northern Light Technology Makes Deal WIth C.I.A. · · Score: 0

    Just FYI... In-Q-Tel is the Venture Capital arm of the CIA. Anything they fund is meant for the CIA to use.

  15. This is easy... on Network Webcurity Wishlist? · · Score: 0

    Tell the senator to spend a week reading tech-related websites. It will become abundantly clear to him what is on our minds... Star Wars, flaming Jon Katz (which is ok by me), and the next episode of Buffy. Seriously, though, our representatives are truly not listening to what has become an increasingly larger population- the tech world. They keep wandering around asking their buddies at huge corporations how the little guys feels... they have no idea. If they are truly interested in the issues facing us day-to-day, the answer is for them to start reading the same sites we do. Period.

  16. Easier Administration??? on Web Services - More Secure or Less? · · Score: 0

    This is very disconcerting to me.

    How many posts have I seen talking about how much easier running multiple services over port 80 would make their firewall administration? WTF???

    How many of you out there are real administrators? Running multiple services over a single port does not make anything easier, it makes it more difficult, because you've just eliminated your first line of defense against getting cracked; the port-blocking mechanism.

    If these are services that you use on your network, then fine, but there are many people out there that will end up with a default installation on their server that includes a bunch of shit they don't even use or know about.

    And another thing... a couple posts mentioned how great this is because now you can log stuff right into your http logs. GREAT! That's the most jacked opinion I've ever heard. Nothing like clogging up a service log with other services' information. Perhaps us linux users should just eliminate everything in /var/log except for 'messages', then we've got all our logs conveniently in one location.

    Seriously, though, I'm sure that SOAP is wonderful when used appropriately... It's just that most of you are not fully understanding the issue at hand: bozo here who made the intial post doesn't realize that he doesn't have to do things this way. Since when does any back-end shit he writes have to be done over port 80???

    Can we please start seeing some real questions being posted, please?

  17. Attention Slashdot Staff on What's It Like Working For Worldcom? · · Score: 0

    If you don't wish to have to deal with tons and tons of flamebait, trolls, and wasteful posts mucking up your database, then consider this thought: Stop posting worthless droll on your website. Seriously, if I send in my request for climate at a potential employer, will you post it for me? Is this NEWS??? I realize that we don't pay for this garbage, but seriously... I don't care to post unless you've really screwed up, and you've really screwed up.

  18. Me Too on Is Virtual Reality Dead? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I was just asking this very question not two days ago. We used to have some really cool VR game studios around, and they just disappeared.

    I'm going to have to go back to Lawnmower Man to get my fix pretty soon (and a cruddy one at that).

  19. Re:Uh-oh on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    shit no, man...
    I imagine you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that...

    hehe

  20. Come on... on Laptop Data Recovery? · · Score: 1

    This smells like a post simply to get posted on Slashdot... stupid. This would have taken a simple search on Google to find the answer, and you guys post it where thousands of readers can say "Duh".

    Seriously.
