  1. Death knell on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    Fedex just earned itself a lifetime of wrath (probably no lost business though) from Slashdotters by invoking the four-letter word.

    The four letter word aside, is he legally allowed to use their logo in that manner?

  2. Why on HP Calls For Sun and IBM to Remove OS Licenses · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why? The article doesn't explain WHY it would be good for IBM and Sun to switch their licenses. To me, it seems like Fink is just trying to garner some positive attention to HP, which has been looked upon negatively for some time in the technical community.

    On another note, did anyone else find it ironic that he is trying to push the ideals of software freedom of creativty and expression...by locking everyone under the same license?

  3. Contract on Japanese Musicians Defy Sony by Joining iTunes · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Are the artists that are doing this in violation of their contract with Sony?

  4. Relax on Lynn Settles With Cisco, Investigated By FBI · · Score: 1

    Relax, see here and here. Now take a deep breath

  5. Re:Happy SAD day on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    Are you the same type of person who complains about PIN Number and ATM Machine? Who cares?

    Things like that help give context to a person who otherwise doesn't know. Saying "Happy SAD" to a person doesn't really provide any meaningful information about whats going on. "Happy SAD Day" at least lets the person know that its some sort of holiday. It also forms a complete sentence :)

  6. Happy SAD day on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wish everyone a Happy SAD day. Watch the confusion spread across their faces..

  7. Re:MSNBC Commentator is a jackass on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Do you always post the same comment on Slashdot and Fark ?

  8. Re:Won't be long now on British Police Demand Access To Encryption Keys · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fear Uncertainty and Doubt

    Go back under your bridge

  9. Maybe on Computer Demand Boosts MS Profits · · Score: 1

    Maybe if everyone didn't chuck their computer everytime it got spyware on it, the demand wouldn't be so high!

    / Just sayin'
    // Oops wrong site

  10. Harmony on IBM Collaborating With Open Source Java Project · · Score: 1, Redundant

    And for those of us who don't read the article and don't know what Harmony is:

    Harmony is the Apache Foundations project to create an open source edition of Java SE (Standard Edition).

  11. Self promotion on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well since we're talking about stupid lists, I feel compelled to share my list of Signs you're an idiot on Slashdot.

  12. Re:Fun game while it lasted. on World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No you won't. You and others have spent (wasted) what is probably an extraordinary amount of time in the game already. Why give up after losing just a week or so of changes? You'll accept it, keep playing and maybe grouse about it on Slashdot or a message board somewhere.

  13. Ask on What is Mainframe Culture? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ask your team, also known as the entire mainframe community

  14. Samples on 3D Face Cameras · · Score: 1

    Anyone have any samples of the images it creates?

  15. Toes on Secure Data Storage... On Your Fingernails · · Score: 1

    I'd rather keep it on my toenails, they (seem to) grow slower and thus, I don't clip them as often.

  16. Re:Spammers. on Amazon.com Nears 10-Year Anniversary · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Congratulations on a wonderful example of 8th sign that you're an idiot on Slashdot. This is nothing more than a personal anecdote with no backup material or references. Could you post the email they sent? Provide more details about what happened?

  17. Re:Rob Malda - EDITOR EXROARDINAIRE!!! on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Finally catching up with Apple" is a sentence fragment. Please consider revising.

  18. Photo on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    Judging by the photo in that article, I'd say it worked real well. Yup, no after effects at all...

  19. Easy to catch? on Identity Thieves Drain Unemployment Benefit Funds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Those checks have to be mailed or deposited somewhere right? Wouldn't it be fairly easy to catch these people "red handed" picking up their checks or depositing the checks in their account? What about withdrawing it? It all leaves a trace..

  20. We have the technology on `Bionic' Arm Brings Back Sense of Touch · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We can rebuild him!

  21. Don't be underhanded. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't mind be advertised to. People have to make their money somehow, and if I want to get content for free, the publisher should be able to show me advertisements in order to make money for his/her content.

    This advertising space is limited to the page I am viewing. I consider it unacceptable to:

    - Show popups.
    - Show popunders.
    - Spam me.
    - Install spyware / adware.

    Basically if you advertise in any way that is not confined to the page/window I am viewing, all bets are off when it comes to blocking your advertisements.

  22. Re:GMail? on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 2, Funny

    Out of beta? Hahahaha. Google has completely crushed the meaning of the word 'beta'.

  23. Support on Microsoft Cuts Anti-Virus Support For Unix / Linux · · Score: 0

    OK, the headline says they cut support but the summary says they are still offering support, just not the product. For that matter, do they have a UNIX/Linux version of ANY of their products, OSX aside?

  24. Hey on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Aren't you supposed to be swimming somewhere?

  25. CNN on CNN Now Offers Free Online Video · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now I can see round the clock coverage of the latest missing girl / boy and who won the latest Fox reality TV show. Seriously, how come they don't report NEWS anymore? All their front page head lines are just BS.
