  1. Go Dogbert - Network Admin on Why Your Sysadmin Hates You · · Score: 1
  2. I just got an email ! on Microsoft Attempts to Woo Students With 'Crowdsourced' Laptops · · Score: 1

    It's from a Nigerian prince asking for help for a laptop.

  3. Trust but Verify on High Tech Vending Machines Transform IT Support At Facebook · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify

    Also FB as a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to act responsibly with their investors hard earned cash. So I'll give FB a pass on this one

  4. The Missing Link ! on Ancient Teeth Bacteria Record Disease Evolution · · Score: 2

    Maybe they will now find that mysterious 5th dentist that would not reccomend Trident Sugarless Gum.

  5. Great Idea ! What could possibly go wrong ????

    Telnet's Glory Days Are Behind It, But It Isn't Going Anywhere

    FTP's Glory Days Are Behind It, But It Isn't Going Anywhere

    Technology moves forward and life goes on. It does not mean something was the wrong tool at the time.

  7. Guess What ? on Perl's Glory Days Are Behind It, But It Isn't Going Anywhere · · Score: 1

    Articles about Perl's demise aren't going anywhere either.

  8. New cash cow on 'Gorilla Arm' Will Keep Touch Screens From Taking Over · · Score: 1

    Just like MS makes tons of money by selling MS branded mice and keyboards I have a feeling that MS branded "elbow support cushions" are the next big thing for them.

  9. Re:whats the big deal on What Debris From North Korea's Rocket Launch Shows · · Score: 5, Funny

    RIght. It's not like it's rocket science or anything...

  10. Re:Hilarious description on WW2 Pigeon Code Decrypted By Canadian? · · Score: 1

    I used to live in Buffalo and the idea that anyone could exist *there* is laughable.

  11. selective listening on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    So it seems from the article when she was told by the store manager on *Friday* to leave she understood that. Yet when she is asked by the manager on *Monday* to leave the store all of a sudden she doesn't understand english ? Pah-leese.

    I hate this culture of victim-hood where instead of owing up to doing something wrong the wrong-doer becomes the focus of grievence theater and every *else* is to blame.

    And yeah, unless there is a Lexus parked outside or a mortgage banker waiting for a down payment (assuming it was legal to search her purse and ask) I would be very curious to know what she was doing with 16k in her purse on a plain old monday morning when she had bought phones *online*

  12. TFA analysis using the Slashdot algorithm on Just Say No To College · · Score: 2

    1) Don't enroll in college

    4) ?????
    5) Profit !!!

  13. Re:Good. on Amid Fiscal Uncertainty, Venture Capital Is Way Down In Silicon Valley · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Goverment never asked for it's money back. They only asked that the auto industry carry Ohio for Obama.

  14. James Madison Said It First on Mob-Sourcing — the Prejudice of Crowds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.

    Alert to the dangers of majoritarian tyranny, the Constitution's framers inserted several anti-majority rules.

  15. Re:Apparently Obama knows not Grigsby & Cohen on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 1

    Sure we can cancel H1-b but then the liberal media would be full of all sorts of sympathy stories about how america is actually deporting all these people and stirring up comparisons to the nazis add that w/ a few pictures of their kids being forced to leave P.S 139 and find a republican scapegoat and you have enough for MSNBC and CNN to keep the their front pages full for weeks !

  16. The more interesting article on Recalling Windows 1.0 At 25 Years · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Considering that MS did not invent the GUI, Spreadsheet, Word Processor, Browser, Mobile OS, or anything else they might well known for, it would be more interesting to read about just what the heck these people *have* been doing for 25 years.

  17. Great Scott !!! on Sun Founders' Push For Open Source Education · · Score: 1

    If McNealy does for OS textbooks what he did for Sun then I think the textbook publishers can sleep well.

    How does "the textbook is the computer" sound ?

  18. she must have lots of self esteem on Israeli Border Police Shoot US Student's Laptop · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What is it about the self esteem generation that makes kids so stupid ?!?

  19. Re:OH yes.. on Ballmer, IBM Surprised By Oracle-Sun Deal · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, "Ballmer's lack of reply is most likely due to the fact when he clicked on the reply button he got a message like 'you must upgrade to IE7 to reply to this message'"

    of course if he said the OL crashed or that he had to stick in his original office cd to install the reply function i would believe that too.

  20. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Taxpayers Fund AIG Lawsuit Against US · · Score: 1

    actually AIG were the gamblers as people like Goldman used AIG to insure their investments w/ CDOs.

    It was AIG who bet the house of cards would never fall.

  21. obama - right on track on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 1

    he ran left for the primaries and is moving center for the general election. sounds like a plan to me.

    so his message to all of you who think that obama realy embraced the ideals of moveon.org and the daily kos is "thanx for hitch - I'll call you when i get to washington"
    or better "so long and thanks for all the fish"

    better luck next time.

    all i can say is sun you are on the right track and you should have done this years ago.

  24. i blame gene simmons on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    kiss is one of the reason music sucks today and was built and enforced the idea of a band as a marketing scheme more than music.

    kiss sold out to mr $$ from day one.

  25. fix the cause not the symptom on Botnet Mafia in Online Turf War · · Score: 0

    Until, that is, law enforcement, the judiciary and governments around the world start to take the spam problem as seriously as they do the drugs one. a) The war on drugs is a miserable failure. So please find another parable.

    b) the whole enviroment that these people thrive in is made possible by MS Windows and its' horrible security. why don't we start screaming about fixing the root cause of the problem ?
