  1. Re:Vaguest article... on Linux Can't Kill Windows · · Score: 1

    I believe that is pronounced whaaaaa?

  2. Re:Scary social engineering on Latest Version of MyDoom Exploits New IE Flaw · · Score: 1

    This is a problem that I have been seeing more and more. I get mail all of the time that says bill, the solution I have been sticking with for the last couple months is just getting rid of them. The same thing for any post mail that I get that looks like it could be a bill also, you never know when those social engineers will start to use the post office to bypass your virus scanning software.

    They are constantly changing their formatting, just last week they almost tricked me into infecting my computer by sending me a message that said final notice, but I didn't fall for it...

  3. Re:Non-US Simulation on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    You forgot to add the PayPal link that is at the bottom of the page. Everyone knows that it just takes money to get access to George W Bush.

  4. Re:VOTE THIRD PARTY.....That is how we got here on Congress Expands FBI Powers · · Score: 1

    People are too quick to forget that the reason that the current administration won was not that Bush won it was because there was a third party spoiler. If everyone that wants the power back in the hands of the people chooses not to vote for the mainstream option we will be stuck with this situation for another four years. A no vote does not help in the short run, which is where change needs to be made.

    A change in parties is needed when the choices are beginning to stagnate. A change in position is needed when the elected officials are not representing your views.

  5. Re:in other news... on Kazaa Launches Legitimacy Campaign · · Score: 0

    P2P is bad for the music industry but boy bands are good.

  6. Re:It's legit. The users are iffy on Kazaa Launches Legitimacy Campaign · · Score: 1

    Don't forget those of us who are anti/pro-legal ownership of property.

  7. Re:Hmmm... on RFID Will Stop Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is why you think vegetarians are terrorists? I bet it has to do with all that testosterone from the red meat you consume. We need to be tracking hamburger and steak not falafel.

  8. April 1 already? on Using Sling Shot Power to Hurl Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    A huge slingshot for space shuttles called a MiXER, this can not be a real story. In other news space.com has began hiring former reporters from the the NY Times.

  9. Re:LOLOLOLOL *wiping tears from eyes* on Plan9 is now Officially Open Source · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the Beowolf Clusters of SCO jokes in Soviet Russia.

  10. yesterday?! on Law and Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    yesterday's spirited discussion
    How long are things posted in the members only section of slashdot?
    That article was dated Wednesday May 28, @10:58AM

  11. Re:New Theme on More on Media Consolidation · · Score: 1

    Sorry that is not a top 40 song, your request has been denied.

  12. Re:"Ultra-Intrusive" my ass on New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced · · Score: 1

    Computer: "Just try to Relax." User: "Uh-Oh" Suddenly a blue screen of death doesn't sound so bad.

  13. Re:Typical on Carmack On Doom III And The Evolution Of Graphics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are correct this does not have anything to do with maintaining their monopoly, this is about extending their monopoly. It has been discussed here before that their home entertainment division is losing massive amounts of money while their monopolized divisions are making large amounts of money. Businesses that are faced with real competition look for solutions to failing divisions, but Microsoft doesn't have to because it can always throw money at the problem.

  14. Re:wal-mart killing the dmca? on FatWallet Strikes Back Using DMCA · · Score: 1

    This idea actually is not as unlikely as it sounds. The state that I currently live in has some outdated laws towards alcohol and the local Wal-Mart stores have started pushing these laws trying to take the state to court. Just because a law helps big companies does not mean that Wal-Mart supports the law. Actually softening the rights of patent holders could be a great boost to a company that creates generic items or has any interest in making their own brand of hit music CD. Just my .02

  15. wtf?!?!! on New Tablet PCs With A Linux Option · · Score: 5, Funny

    A keyboardless computer, that is running Lindows, that is designed by the people who brought us the e-machine. There are so many problems with that idea I don't know where to start.

  16. Re:Weekend Update on Rings Around Earth From Ancient Meteorites · · Score: 1

    This is actually what I thought the SNL link was until I checked it. I was really looking forward to Dennis Miller, Norm MacDonald, or Tina Fey's opinion on the ring around the world. Another constantly updating satirical news site wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

  17. Recycling parts can be fun on Recycle Fee For Each PC? · · Score: 1

    The only time that I have ever really recycled any computer parts, other than putting them into different machines, is the few times that I have tried to shove a 5 1/4" disk drive into a golden goat. It really was as fun as it sounds but it made some really ugly sounds ;)

  18. Just what we need on Interesting Concepts in Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Instead of getting a porn link in every search, now you get counter links and online casino links, this is a great improvement.

    I guess when we get bored though we can search for search engines and watch the system grind to a halt.

  19. Weight on Computer Hardware That Can Pull Double-Duty? · · Score: 1

    I actually use a pair of old rackmount eight inch disk drives instead of sandbags to give my rear wheel drive car traction in the winter. That is how you upgrade a 1983 RX-7.

  20. I meant SCO on Caldera releases original unices under BSD license · · Score: 0

    That is what happens when you run out of coffee.

  21. what happened to press releases on Loki Games Closing? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does anyone actually put out press releases any more, or does every company just leak an internal email when they have news?

  22. This is good because BSD sucks on Caldera releases original unices under BSD license · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is a great opportunity to look at the source to an OS that many people feel is bad. This could definitely show some of the reasons why BSD has problems so that others do not include these mistakes into their own attempts. Besides, as someone who still has to use BSD on at least one of my servers this may actually lead to some improvement in the OS I have to deal with. News like this gives me hope that maybe the rest of the BSD line will be opened which would make my life much easier.
