  1. We're sorry on Gentoo Founder on his way to Redmond · · Score: 1

    For his treacherous betrayal, he has been stripped of his "founder" status. The new "founder" will be drawn from names in a hat at next weeks meeting.

  2. Now if we could find one... on Rocky Planet Discovered · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...with slightly lower surface temperatures, as this one ranges from 200 to 400 degrees, obviously uninhabitable. If they could locate one that closely mirrors the earth as far as environmental and atmospheric conditions, then we could start focusing on how to start migrating humans via cryogenic and hyperspace travel to said planet. Would solve earth overpopulation problems.

  3. A tip on Protecting Your Personal Info While Traveling? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't type anything you wouldn't want anybody else to see when you using public terminals. Kind of obvious?

  4. WRONG on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    It is NOT depreciated. mysql_escape_string and mysql_real_escape_string do two slightly different things. Read it at php.net for yourself.

  5. Desktop Linux users, don't bother with Fedora on Fedora Core 4 Available · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Go here and grab the latest version of Ubuntu... you can thank me later.

  6. Re:PC's USED to cost under $300! on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 1

    It's called inflation. You also don't pay $2.50 to see a movie at the theatre anymore.

  7. Get ready.... on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: -1, Redundant

    for the hundreds of posts saying "Yeah, but why would anybody want a shiatty piece of poor quality junk like that when you can buy a Mac?"

  8. Heard about this 2 years ago on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 1

    I heard the rumour 2 years ago that PS3 was going to run on Linux from an insider... but didn't really believe it. Sounded too good to be true. And as I haven't heard anybody mention it anymore since then, I just figured it was somebody getting excited over "maybe". Never thought it would actually come true!

  9. Like with Gmail? on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one to find Gmails system of having no folders kind of annoying? I mean, I like folders... and isn't labeling just like folders anyway?

  10. mysql_escape_string on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    Look it up and use it. Not that hard.

  11. not just another language on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1
    You obviously are not a web developer. PHP is many times quicker to use for developing solid web apps.

    /former perl developer

  12. Enterprise level systems on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    Well, I program enterprise level web apps using PHP all day long. And I get paid good money to do it. I have a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and am not a complete programming newbie... and I think there is nothing wrong with PHP for enterprise apps. I suspect you are just being elitist... whatever... get over it. PHP is here to stay.

  13. < use the short form > on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    I prefer

  14. Offtopic??!! on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Whoever moderated this offtopic, are you on crack or what? How much more ontopic do I have to be?

  15. Thanks for the career, PHP!! on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've made my living for the past 3 years as an independent PHP developer. I don't care what anybody thinks of PHP, it makes me money to live.

  16. Get with the times on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1

    Music is going digital and can be easily copied whether record shop owners like you fight it or not. Rather than whining and moaning, change your business strategy... start an MP3 shop or something. Change with the times or die.

  17. Re:Write them using extra letters and counting met on Writing Down Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, those lines should have been

    slksnakajdh
    uqoplpolws

    I keep forgetting about slashdot converting everything to html formatted by default (ie/ no line breaks unless specified).

  18. Write them using extra letters and counting method on Writing Down Passwords? · · Score: 1

    For the longest time, I kept all my passwords in a notebook and used the following method... slksnakajdh uqoplpolws Which would spell "slash", if you take the first letter, then count over to the fifth letter on the bottom line, then count five more over on the top line, then five over on the bottom, then five over on top. Just because five is my favourite number.

  19. HA on HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86 · · Score: 1

    your ignorance is amusing... linux is the future, apple has no future /happy linux desktop user

  20. Blow to Linux???! on Dvorak Says Apple Move to Intel Will Harm Linux · · Score: 1

    Quite the opposite I would think... disgruntled Mac fans who would never switch to MS are coming to Linux. Just because MacOS will now be available on x86 doesn't mean it becomes free. Well, not if you don't count the warez versions that will hit the torrent sites any time now.

  21. Firefox + Linux on Mac Install-Base Shown to Be 16% · · Score: 1

    No problems here... using Firefox on Linux.

  22. The only real solution on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 1

    Turn your computer around, in the back you'll find a little cable that looks a bit like a telephone cord called the ethernet cable. Unplug it. Now you are safe.

  23. I AGREE on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I know you will get modded down, but just let me say I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! PC's will always rule for the REAL gamers. Consoles are good for arcade style games, that's about it... and those kind of games get boring really quick.

  24. Re:I highly doubt it. on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I run Linux to and play my few games on it (Doom 3, UT2004, NWN). I won't switch to a console because I have to play that in the living room. Have you ever tried using a mouse on a coffee table while sitting on your couch. Yeah... good luck kicking butt in any FPS.

  25. Re:Interest free loan? on Anonymous Library Cards An Option? · · Score: 1

    Why not give them a interest free loan? It's not like you're not getting something in return.
