  1. Well, as long as my favourite site... on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: -1, Redundant

    torrentreactor.net stays up, I'm happy.

  2. GIMP needs quick/simple plugins made for newbies! on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1
    to get common photo editing stuff done without having to do a google search to figure out what combination of procedures will get the desired result.

    Like "eliminate red-eye", "add fancy border", or "auto re-balance colors/light", etc... I mean, things like this should actually just come standard.

  3. Anyway of using unpatched windoze boxes? on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

    Hey hackers of the world... figure out a P2P system which rellies exclusively on multiple-redundant hacked/security-compromised windows boxes to spread tracker info. Let's see anybody try to shut down a moving target like that.

  4. Oddly enough... on GIMP 2.2 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    most professional admins I know are actually switching AWAY from microsoft servers. So I guess it all depends on who you listen to and who you believe when it comes to "hard numbers and 100% facts".

    But this is all irrelevent, as Linux will have completely taken over the server AS WELL AS the desktop before the end of this decade.

  5. Offtopic? on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: 1

    How the hell is this offtopic? It is a link to a post about 3 good computer books! How much more ontopic can I get? Geesh!

  6. A better geek computer book list! on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: 1

    Here is a better top-ten list of recent geek computer books.

  7. childrens propaganda on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nice to the see that the Christmas spirit is alive with you helping out at the shelter by reading extremist right-wing wacko books to the little abused children. You'll have them full of greed and ignorance in no time! Good luck! GO AMERICA!

  8. Here is the link to the books! CLICK IT! on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Here is the post with the books for those of you that missed clicking it last time around. Come on everyone, I know you can help me break $100 so that amazon will send me a cheque.

  9. Duh on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Harry Potter books were big... BACK IN 2001! The new hotness is the "Series of Unfortunate Events" kids books.

  10. made $50 last time on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: 1

    I have now made a bit over $50 from a slashdot post from the amazon top-ten book thread. But I was lucky, as my post was close to the top and got moderated +5 early on. It's the first time I've made money from posting.

  11. Make it buggy as hell on Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux? · · Score: 5, Funny

    for windows... keep it working nicely for Linux. People will switch to Linux because "look how crappily windows runs KDE".

  12. Re:Disposable income...I remember it well. on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1

    Your learned responsibility and are a more realistic person. Your friends probably are still very immature and have black/white views of the world. They may be better off materialistically, but that isn't all that's important in life.

  13. Has to be one of the ones with... on GIMP 2.2 Splash Screen Contest Revisited · · Score: 1

    ... the stupid looking fox or whatever on it... otherwise people will think GIMP is some sort of insult to the mentally disabled. With the wilbur-fox thing, then at least people go "hmmm, i guess that's the gimp". Maybe they should consider changind the name. But then again, the open source movement seems to have problems with naming, as seen with phoenix->firebird->firefox. Maybe gimp will go something like gimp->handi->tard

  14. Re:Cranks on Consensus on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    You moran! grow a brain

  15. back to their previous jobs of course on Massive Layoffs At AOL · · Score: 2, Informative

    waiting tables, burger flipping, etc....

  16. Re:actually on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1
  17. the funny thing on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Previously the nay-sayers didn't even accept the fact that global warming was happening! But now that it's pretty much proven to be occuring, nobody calls them on their previous opinion. The corporations have done a very good job brainwashing the masses here in north america.

  18. junk science on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The difference is that lomborg is a true "junk scientist".

  19. actually on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1

    You sir, are a moran.

  20. ha ha on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1

    another person brainwashed by corporate powers... yeah, just keep telling yourself "millions of people pumping crap into the air will not change anything" and "scientists are just making stuff up so they can get grant money". MY GOD, why is humanity so easily decieved?

  21. hope on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1

    Only if there were more people like you in America... you are totally right-on! The hatred against environmentalists by even the educated is worrysome. How can we effectively battle corporate brainwashing?

  22. Re:Suprnova is lame anyway... on Decentralizing Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    You can set the --max_upload_rate parameter to a very low number.

  23. 9:02? on Network Scheduling to Mess with Tivo · · Score: 1

    I don't have a TIVO so I don't know what's up... but can't you just program your TIVO to record at 9:02 instead of 9:00? What are you going to miss in the first two minutes anyway... probably just commercials.

  24. Re:Ugh, affiliate links galore! on Amazon's Best Computer Books of 2004 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you are right. That's my affiliate ID. I made $40 because of posting here. Thanks slashdot!

  25. Post on slashdot for $$$ on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Last week I posted a link on slashdot recommending some books from Amazon. Of course, I included my affiliate ID in the link so I would get some profit if somebody actually bought something. Well, the post got moderated +5 and I ended up making $40. Thanks slashdot!
