  1. "A cool feature"? on CMU's Snooping Robot Headed for Iraq · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, this "toy" certainly does not have any cool features. The fact alone that it exists resp. that it's getting developped is enough crap. When will you stop, U.S.A?

  2. Re:So... on 100% Open Source Helix Player 'Alpha' Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is a special Realplayer made for BBC out there.

  3. Re:What's the point? on 100% Open Source Helix Player 'Alpha' Available · · Score: 1

    Hm? I thought Real's own open source player does not play RA/RV according to the submission. Only RealPlayer 10 or whatever can do this. Helix itself is only playing stuff other players can play as well. Not sure about the SMIL stuff though.

  4. Be sure to watch the videos. on Using a 747 to Fight Wildfires · · Score: 1, Funny

    Be sure to melt down their server. Each video is around 90MB large ;-)

  5. Access to full catalog? on Napster Gags University Over Fees · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Right!

    Limitations

    # To burn to CD or MP3 player, you must purchase tracks separately

    * $0.99 per track or $9.95 per album (You only pay this if you want to burn to CD or MP3 player.)
    * Purchased tracks have no restrictions - unlimited copying, no expiration # Cannot download new tracks during summer or winter breaks * Tracks already downloaded still playable during breaks


    What a joke!

  6. Re:Say WHAT? on Microsoft Backs Out Of Wi-Fi Equipment Market · · Score: 1

    Uh I'm an evil hacker ;-)

  7. Re:Say WHAT? on Microsoft Backs Out Of Wi-Fi Equipment Market · · Score: 1

    I've blocked incomming pings Are pings bothering you? Why?

  8. Re:Annoying on IBM To Announce Web-Based Desktop Apps · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I feel very powerless.

    So, you've never sat on a dumb terminal (or terminal emulator) attached to a powerful cluster of IBM S/390s ;-)

  9. As If... on Anti-Missile Laser Weapon Successfully Tested · · Score: 1

    ... there are no other problems to solve first. But yeah, the U.S. military budget always comes first, right. Great work guys. Kudos to them that they joint develop with the Israelis! Keep the irony if you find it...

  10. Re:Hey! Are you getting Sasser with me? on Microsoft Security Updates for Pirated Windows? · · Score: 1

    because I don't know what is in these patches.

    So, you know what's in WinXP itself?

  11. Re:Real Player? vs. Helix Player on Turbolinux Licenses Windows Media 9 · · Score: 1

    Unless the RA/RV formats are opensourced and royalty free, people will complain. There are already tons of opensource players out there, so if Real wants to make someting which pleases the crowd, then release all codecs. Yeah I know it won' going to happen but hey, this is /.

  12. Re:Proxy scanning by Slashdot? on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 1

    Looks like someone is enhancing the troll filter in order to prevent people posting via open proxies. So what...

  13. Re:Real Player? vs. Helix Player on Turbolinux Licenses Windows Media 9 · · Score: 1

    Or in other words: Helix Player is completely worthless and nothing more than marketing hype from Real.

    There is no added value such as RA/RV playback, why even bother developping/maintaining another Media Player?

  14. Well then... on 31 Lawsuits Filed Over Alleged JPEG Patent · · Score: 1
    "Our technology is an integral part of JPEG and Apple uses JPEG in their devices and software. Apple has been using our methods and materials and they have been stealing our intellectual property, in our opinion. This needs to stop," he said.
    In my opinion, shut the [CARRIER LOST]
  15. Re:BGP vulnerable on TCP Vulnerability Published · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but from the Text in the Advisory, it's rather obvious that BGP is "in danger" according to the type of TCP "flow" BGP relies on. So he didn't reveal anything new except on the part how the NOCs are dealing with the issue. Oh and it's funny that the DOH has their fingers in it...

  16. Re:Thou shalt check thine logs... on Air Canada Sues Over Misuse Of Employee Password · · Score: 0

    FS, First Seat ;-P

  17. Re:Do people want to register with Real? NO! on Real Problems · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can always use the reserved (and therefore hopefully nullrouted) example.com domains as described in RFC 2606, eg info@example.com

  18. Re:Background Details of WiX on Microsoft WiX Code Released to SourceForge.Net · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about adding some more Links to the project page?

  19. Ha! on Weapons in Space · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Putting weapons in earth orbit is not forbidden by any treaty or law.

    That doesn't mean one should do it...

  20. Re:snarfing -- who cares on Bluesnarfing At CeBIT 2004 · · Score: 2, Funny

    i have a feeling your post has more to do with drawing people to your website to sell wireless t-shirts ;-)

  21. Shhhh... on Prothon - A New Prototype-based Language · · Score: 4, Funny

    Prothon is a new industrial-strength, interpreted, prototype-based, object-oriented language

    Haven't seen so many buzzwords in one sentence for a long long time...

  22. Re:What a contradiction! on Keystroke Logger Faces Federal Wiretap Charges · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    But then, you could use every toy laser pen as a "communication device", or even more: you could use the highway as a communication line (just send cars in morse code over it)... just kidding.

  23. Problem: Macros on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 3, Informative

    The biggest (if not only) problem with OOo I heard from a guy which works in a bigger midsize company is the fact, that you can't reuse all the macros they wrote in MS Office. That's a big minus as lot's of company data (reports, worksheets etc) are using the macro options from MS Office. Otherwise, he said his company could adopt it...

  24. Re:Microsoft Crimes on New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics · · Score: 1

    Ah man...

  25. Re:The Wal-Mart audio format? on Wal-Mart Relaunches Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    The sample WMA song worked most probably only because it was DRM free. I can't imagine that they would work without WMP with all that crappy DRM stuff attached (has to be online for the first time played...).
