  1. Facebook evolved to fast on Facebook Widget Installs Zango Spyware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The evolution of facebook took place to fast for the security to catch up.

  2. Say Wi-Fi Virus Outbreak Possible on Researchers Say Wi-Fi Virus Outbreak Possible · · Score: 0

    I can also say that a Wi-Fi Virus Outbreak is Possible. I am not a researchers, I better reconsider a career in the research buisness, it sounds suitable to me.

  3. Re:Where the fault lies... on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 0

    "This sounds more like an issue with game design." Perhaps in this game. I have friends making big money on bots playing Texas Hold'em on Online card game rooms. Here one can't question the game design, since it has been well tested for ages, but one can question the possible autonomous where there is no control of weather the other side of the line is a real person or a bot.

  4. Re:not minimal on ZOTOB Not Quite as Bad as Expected? · · Score: 0

    As if my friends knows anything about it. They are worried about Microsoft coming after them, and shut their automatic updating service off, trying to find other ways of updating their systems, and 9 out of 10 times fail to do it properly. In the meanwhile they hide, sleeps under their sofa, eat breakfast on the floor having the lights off, and pray to God they are anomymous on the internet.

  5. Online Cash-games on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 0

    I am more worried about being robbed by bots playing at online cardrooms. I really don't like playing texas hold'em using real money against virtual players who never chats in the table. How can I know I am playing a real person or are bot that has compromised the portals client?

  6. Re:Aren't all media reports of internet viruses on ZOTOB Not Quite as Bad as Expected? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find it good that media is reporting virus-incidents as topnews, since then common non-computer interested people will read it, and get some ideas that their systems at home needs protection. To many have no clue about AV and Firewalls and asume a system should run safe connected to the internet aslong as they don't download files from suspicious websites.

  7. not minimal on ZOTOB Not Quite as Bad as Expected? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is not a minimal risk for a Windows XP system to get infected. Not after Microsoft have changed their Windows Update program. I have alot of friends struggling with properly secureing their pirated version of XP.

  8. Why is this happening? on The New C Standard · · Score: 0

    It doesn't make sense. Being intelligent putting this together and after that releasing it for free is a mystery for me. The work itself proves this is not made by a common person. And the whole thing contradicts itself. Alot of time is spent doing this, it is made by a person that really knows what he is doing. He could have spent his time doing something else. Perhaps he is not interested in making money, but sure he has braincells enough to create something else that really makes him do profit. It doesn't make sense to me. This is wierd for me, I don't understand people. I know that everything is not about money, but creating this and then release it for free because he can't make a company sell it is totally out of it. If he spent one thousand of time and intelligence in finding a better way to make use of this works, than he spent on creating it I am convinced he would have found a better way to make use of this work than giving it away for free and post an article to slashdot about it.

  9. Re:Chess on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 0

    Especially on a website where the content has nothing to do with chess, if anybody missed my point.

  10. Chess on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 0

    That article had to many references to the game "Chess". I lost my interest right after I started reading. Not everyone have a decent idea how Chess works, and writing an article which all readers need to understand chess to grasp seems a bit naive.

  11. Re:Best thing about learning a dead language? on Learning a Language in the Digital Age · · Score: 0

    You missed the point. See "Listen to .." part of his comment. Nobody can EVER know how it was pronouced.

  12. Re:The obvious XP question on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 0

    You are right. I am too kind of sick of the SP2 false security rumour. My post was meant to be ironic.

  13. The obvious XP question on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 0

    Is this relevant if you have SP2 installed?

  14. Good on Microsoft Licenses Analog Anti-rip Technology · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Good they lincens it, then less will use it.

  15. Re:AARON on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    It's too much like humangenerated art. I declare it to not being art. Computergenerated art have to look like being generated by computers.

    After all, we already have humans enough to create humangenerated art, haven't we?

  16. Re:LOOK AT MY ART on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    Art is 99% ugly to a person. The last 1% may be nice to you but you probably don't share the same 1% with many other people.

    Conclusion: Art it subjective and is mainly ugly.

  17. Re:The invalid acid test for art. on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    For all X: X is art if someone buys it of one's own free will.

    Amazing how Microsoft got involved in this discussed too.

  18. Compare results on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    Can't someone develope an application that querys googles image function, compare results and create an original picture. The picture should be based on similarities among the result.

  19. Typing "Slashdot" on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    Is a picture of a preteen boy infront of a linux OS using firefox to read /. showing up? If not, it's not art.

  20. Re:History Lesson Great !!! on Abrupt Climatic Change Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    It's a good comparison, because we could say that we are now living in the "daylight" age which doesn't last very long.

  21. Inluded on Ready, Steady, Evolve · · Score: 0

    This certain protein and hidden mutation is also created because of evolution, and it is as we now know a cruicidal thing in all life to survive a longer time.

  22. Re:Who cares? on Nokia 7650 Modified to Record Video Clips · · Score: 1

    Who cares? How about every Slashdotter that is NOT american? wake up, everything isn't about the US. And and top of that, this product will probably reach the US soon too.

  23. The meaning of life on New Scientist: Venus' Atmosphere Implies Life · · Score: 0

    Many thinks the meaning of life is to get laid and keep our species alive, but thats not true. To be able to play this game AND receive the message "Congratulations! You are the winner" instead of "GAME OVER!", you should stack a bung of bacteria inside a spaceshuffle and launch it to a planet that is like earth. After all, if earth is currently the only planet containing life, whouldn't spreading this life to another distant planet before we kill our own planet be to much to ask of an intelligent specie like the Human?

  24. Perfect! on Self-Cleaning Glass · · Score: 0

    Another one to my list of "must have"s when I move away from my parents!
