  1. Not so poor after all... on Twitter Faces Patent Infringement Lawsuit · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Didn't work on Solaris 10 01/06 on Solaris Telnet 0-day vulnerability · · Score: 1

    It works for me so long as I'm not trying to login as root.

  3. He's just your average n00b! on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 1

    Me too! When I bought my brand new $$$$$ console all I wanted to do was install Linux on it so that it would be easy to use and maintain!

  4. The best secret ever... on How Apple Kept the iPhone Secret · · Score: 1

    ... that anybody who cares already knew about.

  5. Bigger budget != better game on Cost of Game Development is 'Crazy' Says EA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Introversion just released it's third hit in a row (Defcon) and their games are better than most of the high-budget ones I've tried.

  6. Would you prefer death by hanging or shooting? on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    Both options are bad. The question "which is more bad" is a waste of time. You have a civic responsibility to vote and to vote intelligently. Go do it.

  7. Re:Sweet deal! on Apple in Talks with Wal-Mart over Movies · · Score: 1

    Nothing was finalized at these talks. I suspect that Steve is simply trying to calm things down while he waits to pickup deals with the rest of the studios after they pickup their 4Q sales.

  8. In other news... on Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail? · · Score: 1

    Blizzard makes millions on a successful business model, competitors complain about it.

    Film at eleven.

  9. Re:So basically... on Movie Downloads to Coincide with DVD release · · Score: 1

    Another thing they've got going for them... It's not illegal.

    I've long since stopped downloading that which I do not own legally, and suggest you stop trying to justify your crime and do the same.

  10. One mile down... on Continued Success for Space Elevator Tests · · Score: 1

    ... 61999 to go!

  11. Re:The new race on Quad Core Chips From Intel and AMD · · Score: 1

    I beg to differ... explicitly taking advantage of multiple CPUs is something that should be avoided for the vast majority of user space apps. Put the code to handle multiple CPUs into the kernel, and maybe a few shared libraries, and everybody wins.

  12. Re:Will it compile? on Microsoft Agrees to License Windows Source Code · · Score: 1

    I'd be darned sure to hold it in escrow until it does.

  13. Re:Connecting to a network is a vulnerability now? on Windows Wireless Networking Flaw Identified · · Score: 1

    The word 'compromise' wasn't used... I read 'Networking Flaw'. But that aside, yes, it is a vulnerability. If somebody in my office brings up an unauthorized wireless network I am definately going to go ape crazy to shut it down.

    The consultant mentioned in the article who was told there are a lot of false positives really does have his work cut out for him. Those are not false positives at all. All it takes is one of those wireless-enabled to have a rootkit on it and *POOF*, your whole network is open to the neighbourhood script kiddies.

  14. I thought "Love-Wikipedia" day was Tuesday on Wikipedia Plagiarism Ends Journalist's Career · · Score: 5, Funny

    So today slashdot loves wikipedia? I'll be looking forward to the "Wikipedia Kills Baby Seals" article tomorrow.

  15. Bad move or acceptance of defeat? on Microsoft to Continue Office on Mac · · Score: 1

    iWork is gaining steam, is it possible that by continuing to run MSOffice on the Mac they are encouraging continued development of iWork and eventually going to end up with another competetor in the Windows office suite arena?

    OR have they they changed their mind and decided that they need Office to get along with other platforms and office suites in order to remain competetive?

    Are either of these possible?

  16. Re:Confused on NTP Pool Project Reaches 500 Servers · · Score: 1

    rsync only uses the timestamp if you tell it to. Otherwise it checksums each file.

  17. replication from two masters?? on MySQL 5 Production in November · · Score: 1

    Alas, I still cannot replicate one database from one server, and another database from another.

    Maybe in version 8...

  18. phew! on EU Claims Internet Could Fall Apart Next Month · · Score: 1

    Thank-fully, I have \.'s IP in my hosts file.

  19. Re:Mid level editing, yes on An Intro To Editing Audio On Linux · · Score: 1
    Unfortunately you don't really know what you're talking about. Or maybe fortunately.

    ah ah aaaahBURN!

  20. Re:Adium X on Linux Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    Seeing Adium X ported to Linux would tickle me pink (quack), but I wont hold my breath.

    Mind you, Gaim became much more attractive when I discovered the magic gtk-theme-switch2 utility.

  21. Re:The reason why they want this on Federal Agencies To Collect Genetic Info · · Score: 1

    Probably the same thing I've done all those times a criminal left my fingerprints at a crime scene.

  22. Changelog : Version 18 on Skyhook Robot Passes 1000 Foot Mark · · Score: 5, Funny

    "This lifter is much smarter than our previous versions. It's our 18th version..."

    Version 1 Logic: Go up.
    ...
    Version 18 Logic: Go up.

    ...?

  23. Re:When will people learn? on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    This is the exact same reason I haven't bought an iBook yet. I don't want the last PPC or the first Intel.

  24. Stars are electrical, not thermonuclear on Supernova 1987A Decoded · · Score: 1

    I'll admit... I couldn't make it through this entire beast of an article, but this should stuck out:
    "Stars are an electrical, not a thermonuclear, phenomenon."

    Is this for real?

  25. for fun and profit! on 83,431 Recited Digits of Pi · · Score: 1

    * spend childhood memorizing #s
    * spend 13 hours saying the same 10 words over and over
    ...
    *** profit!!
