  1. Re:Oracle is a bug factory on Java 7 Ships With Severe Bug · · Score: 1

    The customers are Oracle's QA team.

  2. Re:What's weird on MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm looking for an explanation as to why a search for "XFree86 anal sex" has Slashdot as 10 of the top 11 hits.

  3. Re:Gradual but requites some work and time. on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1
    Step 11: Profit (From saved money from drinking water except for caffeine. (Optional)

    Profit? Where I work, a bottle of water costs twice as much than a cup of coffee. On the other hand, spilling coffee can result in having to toss good clothes / keyboards.

  4. Re:This is contractual, not about privacy on Plow Operators Object to GPS Tracking System · · Score: 1
    It's only a privacy issue if the plow operator isn't doing his job. The state already knows where the plow is (it's on the road). The GPS merely tells the state if it is at mile marker 1 or 20.

    If I was an honest plow operator, I'd want the GPS. Not only would I feel like I'm making more efficient use of my time and making the streets safer, but I would also be getting additional work from all of the plow operators the state catches stealing time.

  5. Re:640K--not true on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 2, Funny
    I don't know if he said it or not.

    What I do know is that if I was a leader in the computer industry back then, and there was a memory limit that I could not break through (yet), I would try to make it seem as if that limit wasn't an issue.

    If 640K were enough for anybody, then who cares if there is a limit.

    The caption under the title line of the page says:

    it's da shit!

  7. Re:Tupperware... NOOOOOOOO on How Do You Organize Your Gear? · · Score: 1

    I too am afraid of putting my electronics into plastic containers. Besides, I don't have extra tupperwares around.

    What I do have are lots of extra boxes of all sizes that I bought various equipment from. I toss most of the large, odd shaped boxes, and use the rest to consolidate all of my hardware in. I have a small box for mice and a wide, shallow box for coiled cable. As for the screws and such, I keep them in tiny, zip-loc bags.

  8. Re:Contamination? on Japanese Mars Probe Failing · · Score: 1

    If we are ever going to explore space, we will eventually have to send out probes. It would be great if we could treat Mars as a crime scene, and take care not to upset anything we don't mean to, but a space probe isn't exactly a surgical instrument.

    The best we could do is be as careful as we can with Mars, perfect our skills now, and learn from our mistakes with the next planet.

    Most likely, we'll infect the entire Solar System, and chalk the space program up to biological warfare against all those pesky aliens. (serves them right)

  9. Re:Hmm.. question.. on SCO Now Willfully Violating the GPL · · Score: 1
    An updated version of the GPL will only affect future releases of the code, which specifically refer to the new licensing terms. Most current code released under the GPL give the option of using a later version of the license to the licensee.

    either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

  10. Re:breaking news on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1

    In fact, it does the exact opposite. It dilutes the smell. If you can still smell the odor after it was diluted, then the smell is too strong.

  11. Re:Security Bugs are inevitable on Security of Open vs. Closed Source Software · · Score: 1

    Return an error code, of course.
