  2. Re:No, you fools, don't be taken in! on Gates' Resolve in Bringing Spammers to Justice · · Score: 1

    You must be new here. According to /. spam is caused by a bazillion compromied windows boxes, not a tiny number of people.

  3. Re:Giorgio Moroder on 3 Electronic Maestros Interviewed · · Score: 1

    If you are trying to say Giorgio was not the great blessed Satan I will hunt you down and kill you.

  4. I have to admire this on 3 Electronic Maestros Interviewed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Its one of the few occasions when computing and math truly do come together

  5. Re:Privacy vs Safety on Texas Considers Putting RFID Tags in All Cars · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This is why my car has been painted with non radar reflective paint, has lots of funny new angles and requires the processing power power of a mainframe to keep it on the road, two if I turn the CD player on. Fortunately though I only drive it at night where all that black loses its impact...

  6. This is not gonna happen on Texas Considers Putting RFID Tags in All Cars · · Score: 1

    When they realise the manufacturers, insurance companies and the police all want the same thing and are prepared to have a fuck off transmitter built into the car at the buyers expense that can be configured at the dealers.

  7. Re:Its true then on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, salt water embalming hubble by attaching and firing rockets that will drive it in a molten inferno into the ocean was an inspired idea. I am soooo glad they opted out of the fresh water embalming nonsense. That was just stupid!

  8. Its true then on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All good things come to an end.

    So long and thanks for all the amazing images.

  9. Get your priorities right on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Groupie model first, then business

  10. I could post a 400 page treatise about the danger on Health Consequences of CRT Monitors? · · Score: 1

    but your retinas are probably so fried by now you would no be able to read it. I will email a copy to your seeing eye dog/pony.

  11. Re:You know your old skool... on The History of Mozilla Firefox · · Score: 2, Funny

    You know your old skool if your school education did not include spelling or grammar.

  12. The drawback is on Why One Man Got a Guerrilla RFID Implant · · Score: 5, Funny

    the store detectives in walmart keep stopping him because they think he registers as a case of beer.

  14. Re:Can it load an arbitrary text file yet? on On Plug-ins and Extensible Architectures · · Score: 1

    This is more to do with Eclipse's heritage in Visual Age than its plugin architecture. IBM tooling tends to impose its will on developers rather than facilitating them. You can do it, but only if you do it the way IBM forces on you. Personally I have always found eclipse to be a slow, memory hogging, counter intuitive beast to use. Give me IntelliJ anyday.

  15. This post was created on On Plug-ins and Extensible Architectures · · Score: 4, Funny

    Using the Slashdot posting plugin for eclipse.

  16. Re:Lots of plugins = bloat on On Plug-ins and Extensible Architectures · · Score: 1

    Users run into bloat problems after they have installed weatherbug, messenger programs and all the other crap they must have.

    If its stuff the user must have then how can it possibly be bloat? If its stuff they just want then its additional functionality to be used at their discretion. Perhaps you expect everyone to make do with just a kernel?

  17. Re:One way to shave off budget for big films on Your Face On the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well this has already been done before with promo material where movie star gets head stuck on a more appealing body, and some body shots in nude scenes use doubles, so its not like this would be an alien concept to movie execs.

  18. Re:But of course... on Your Face On the Big Screen · · Score: 4, Funny

    Woo hoo, I am gonna look sooooo lush with Jenna Jamesons body!

    Note to self, shave before taking face pic.

  19. Re:who cares? on Java Fallout: OO.o 2.0 and the FOSS Community · · Score: 2, Informative

    What bollox. SUN permits redistribution of its JRE with applications. Many vendors already do this with the JRE version they want to run against to save the user having to download a specific version.

  20. Re:God love that manwhore! on William Shatner Pitches 'Starfleet Academy' Show · · Score: 5, Funny

    yet he's not even remotely afraid to take chances

    Based on some of the things he's done I think thats more complete lack of an embarassment gene rather than lack of fear.

  21. Re:YAWN on A Perspective on Microsoft's Shared Source · · Score: 1

    Exactly, because they really enjoyed being submarined on their own technology by Eolas.

  22. I am now eagerly anticipating on Four Inducted Into SF Hall of Fame · · Score: 4, Funny

  24. Leave the swedes alone on First Swede Prosecuted For File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Carrots and parsnip are every bit as bad when it comes to file sharing.

  25. WTF on Joke-e-oke Makes You a Comedian · · Score: 4, Funny

    Great so now entertainment consists of a 'performer' being told what to say by a machine and that same machine telling the audience how to respond.
