  1. License Sticker on Volvo's "Safety Car" Runs Windows 98 · · Score: 0

    I wonder if they put the license sticker on the side, just like any good OEM should...

  2. Slashdotted yet another :D on Clockless Computing · · Score: 0, Redundant

  3. Re:Is there a dead body in your trunk? on Crypto Restrictions Are Taking Over the World · · Score: 1

    I believe that if the cop wanted to look in my trunk, he would have to have a warrant or probable cause.

  4. The Right Tool For The Job on The Age of Aggressive Linux Advocacy Is Upon Us? · · Score: 1

    Really, it is what is useful for the job I am doing. I could really care less, as I will be damned if I am going to give Micro$oft $200.00 for an OS. Which ever one works, I don't really care. For my firewall, I use Linux. For my webserver and fileserver, I use Linux. For my children and girlfriend, Windows. Why? My girlfriend happens to like it.

    Hypothetically, if Micro$oft got kicked off the OS market, who is to say that someone worse will not take their place. Maybe one of our favorite Linux distributors? How would you feel if RedHat was the next up and coming Micro$oft? In this field, anything is possible.

  5. Cash Card on Subversive Gifts for New College Students? · · Score: 1

    Hello: I could have used a cash card with like $100.00 on it when I was in college. You never know when some extra cash is necessary!

  6. Overloaded... on Kartoo Search Engine Presents Results as a Map · · Score: 1

    Since last night, kartoo's requests have been multiplicated by 20. At this moment, we can't respond to all those requests. We really apologize and we are doing as fast as possible in order to give you the best services. Lets here it for Slashdot!

  7. Heh on New "SQLsnake" Microsoft Worm · · Score: 1

    My LINUX server got 51 failed attempts from this M$ problem yesterday... Will people ever learn?

  8. They really mean... on Traffic Cameras in D.C. · · Score: 1

    "Even though I'm waiting on a ticket myself, I support it," Thorpe said. "It's good for the city's revenue, and it's supposed to save lives. It may be somewhat inconvenient, but then again, it also makes you a cautious driver." 1. Its good for the city's revenue if they are making money from it, it will not go away easily. this is our capitol, where they are supposed to know a little about our constitution. these are the people you trust. 2. It's supposed to save lives i think that the real issue here is cars. cars cause more casualties than cameras, so we should make them ILLEGAL 3. May be somewhat inconvenient what really may be somewhat inconvenient is when they set up a camera in your bathroom, so they can be sure you are not reading any anti-gov't literature. This is the same guy that would tell the police it is ok to search his car, "for the good of the public". Give me a break. These people really piss me off.

  9. hmmmm on Review of Hands Free Mouse · · Score: 1

    can't wait til someone hacks it...

  10. Do Not Buy a Toshiba on Comparative Laptop Reviews? · · Score: 1

    Hello. I have experienced a complete nightmare concerning Toshiba Laptops. As far as different 3rd party hardware(BreezeCom Wireless Cards) and software(RH 7.1, FreeBSD, W2k), I have had no problems. The biggest problem I have had with them is the displays, and that is the worst problem you can possibly have with a portable, aside from a total hardware meltdown. I am on my 3rd replacement unit, and even this one has a defective LCD. Get an IBM, in my opinion.

  11. Cave Dwellers Hack XP? on al Qaeda Hacks XP? · · Score: 1

    Sure. Whoever thought of this is full of crap. You cannot convince me that a bunch of cave men hacked into XP. We are talking about a bunch of people who do not clean themselves, use electricity, and fight battles for the same reasons we did MORE THAN 1 THOUSAND YEARS AGO!!! Give me a break. Next thing you know, they are going to crack the gene code, and move on to settle mars.
