  1. Offtopic.. but required on Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Slashdot needs a +1, Eloquent moderation for those posts that are, well, eloquent. You know the ones i mean.

  3. Lithp: Well-known programming impediment on If Programming Languages Could Speak · · Score: 1, Funny

    For those of you without a sense of humour, it is sarcasm for entertainments sake.

  4. More bleeding ads? on Pop-up Ads Coming to A TV Near You · · Score: 0

    Do the big advertising/media companies not realise that todays youngsters are learning to filter out advertisments? It doesn't matter what format the ads are in, as soon as my mind realises its an ad it gets censored out from my conciousness. I suspect many other people have learned to react in a similar fashion.
    It's like anything we get exposed to on such a constant basis; as soon as we realize its presence our mind edits it out again. There's only room for so many things in our mind's bandwidth, and ads are easily dropped out as worthless and not useful.
    .sig not attached.

  5. Interesting. Very interesting. on Hiding and Recovering Data on Linux · · Score: 0

    Would it be possible to break up the encrypted passwd file and hide it in slack space? Perhaps have an ersatz passwd with useless passwds, and hide the real one in several places around the disk. Or am I just being really REALLY paranoid??

  6. If ICANN are trying to gain more control... on ICANN CEO Proposes Radical Changes · · Score: 0
    I wish them luck.

    With so many people and organisations that control parts of the Internet, it will be rather difficult to get them all to agree to this proposed change. Granted, ICANN may be trying to bring some semblance of organisation to the hodge-podge of hacks and kludges the Internet has become, but by trying to "control" a large part of it like this will only alienate many people.

    The only way to reorganise the internet is to EMPulse the entire world and rebuild it from scratch. Not a favoured solution...

  7. It's a sad day on /. on Huygens' Clock Puzzle Solved · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When the first 5 posts on an article are all -1 or 0. *shrug* the trolls are alive and well...

  8. Re:Patent AIDS, Herpes, Malaria... on Should DNA be Patentable? · · Score: 1

    Malaria Virus? I think not, malaria is caused by an organism more resembling an amoeba. I cannot be sure, but I think it's called a plasmodium. This particular organism lives in your bloodstream, and lunches on your red blood cells.
