  1. Re:Can someone please explain on DNS Root Servers Outside US Surpass Those Inside · · Score: 1

    Okay, YOU try using the internet without DNS. Just for a day. Or at all. The truth is, almost the entire internet depends on DNS name resolution.

  2. Re:Dear Linus, on The 2.7 Kernel: Back To The Future For Linux · · Score: 1

    Windows XP operating system. "Universal Plug an Play" [slashdot.org]

    Heh. Copy and pasted, did we? At least write your own trolls.

  3. Re:FreeDOS on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can, actually. It's a Disk Operating System, so you can only operate on disks.

  4. Re:Oh. C'mon! on URLs Patented, Domain Registrars Sued · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your application itself would have been prior art. But nice try.

  5. Re:The little guy gets paid? on Record Labels May Have to Pay Double Royalties · · Score: 1

    Sure, they'll get paid twice, but both times will be half as much. Either that, or they double the price of CDs.

  6. Re:You neglect one important point... on US Treasury to Post Previously Private Email Addresses Online · · Score: 1

    That's why we have moderation, so you don't have to think. Since it's currently +5 Funny, i'd say it's pretty clear.

  7. Re:naming conventions on Paul Mockapetris On The Future of DNS · · Score: 1

    Some browsers already do this. For instance, i typed "google" into Mozilla, and got to google.com just fine.

  8. Re:In Linux... on Linux 2.4.24 Release Fixes Root Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Practice makes perfect.

  9. Re:Yeah on What You Can't Say · · Score: 1

    Thank you for demonstrating so perfectly that he is Not Allowed to Say these things.

  10. Re:Actually this is a good idea! on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or, take two weeks of vacation and have yourself locked in a room with no access to coffee, just an Internet connection and a toilet, and have your meals passed through the door :-)

    Have you considered that perhaps you're addicted to the Internet?

  11. Re:Patents good or bad? on IE To Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    Because Mozilla doesn't have a history of using stupid patents to strong-arm and muscle out competition unfairly and assert a monopoly. That's why.

    You mean, like trying to make it difficult for Microsoft to use it?

  12. Re:absolutely appalling on Memory Hole Un-Redacts Redacted DOJ Memo · · Score: 1

    Of course they left the positive text in. Do you think they just black documents at random? If they are bothering to black the text, there must be something negative to hide.

  13. Re:LG stuff on Slashback: Diebold, Cluster, Radiation · · Score: 1

    Hushed down? It was on the front page of Slashdot, multiple times.

  14. Mob rule on RIAA Threatens More Music-Lovers · · Score: 1

    Technically, the majority were not in favor of exterminating jews, but were pressured. And most disliked slavery, but the supporters saw it as an economic necessity. So wrong on both counts.

    If we didn't have mob rule, who would we listen to? The people making the laws are imperfect, just like the rest of us. They're SUPPOSED to base the laws on the majority.

  15. Re:Fasilmile? on VeriSign Responds To ICANN's SiteFinder Advisory · · Score: 3, Funny

    A quick look at fasilmile.com reveals that VeriSign invented it. Link

  16. Re:You idiot! on Justice Department Proud of Patriot Act Slippery Slope · · Score: 1

    You're vastly overestimating the intelligence of the average voter, and the honesty of politicians. The politicians can say whatever they want for the election, because they know that in four years, nobody will rememeber a word of it.

  17. Re:No mention of Tyndale? on In The Beginning & The Keys of Egypt · · Score: 5, Informative
    He might have misspelled it in the review, but it's still there.

    translators had been instructed to lift from previous translations all the way back to the partial translation of William Tynsdale published 90 years earlier

  18. 6 Billion again on China Proposes Rival Video Format · · Score: 1

    Why does everybody keep saying 6 billion people? The population of China is 1.2 billion, unless they've taken over the rest of the world.

  19. Re:The Real Question on DARPA Developing 'Combat Zones That See' · · Score: 1
    Similarly, it would be vastly impractical to monitor everyone in real time,


    In 1984, i believe what they did was randomly watch people, so you would have to assume you were being watched at any given moment.

  20. But... on Steve Jobs And Jeff Bezos Meet The Segway · · Score: 1

    That actaully makes sense if he likes the Segway enough to make a website about it. Posting about it again and again is free karma.

  21. Stupid Question on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 1

    How do you play a bin/cue movie?

  22. Re:Just run Windows! Do it now! on How To install Neverwinter Nights on Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you don't you may be a terrorist!

    Using Finnish software instead of quality American engineered software...

  23. Re:why on Apple to Announce new Mac OS X version in June · · Score: 4, Funny

    To distract your attention from the story being a dupe, obviously.

    http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/21/ 1424208&mode=thread&tid=107

    Looks like it worked, too.

  24. Re:Galileo Information on Slashback: Privacy, Spectrum, Location · · Score: 1

    Eurasia...europa...who knows anymore. No, no. We're at war with Eastasia now.

  25. Re:What's the life expectancy of Freenet? on Freenet 0.5.1 Released, P2P Network Stabilizing · · Score: 1

    Actually, they would probably disperse bioweapons through the air, which is why I propose we all grow gills.
