  1. Re:It was Mono 0.28, not 2.8 on Mono 2.8 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Interesting that you figure 2.8 == .28! You must work on the federal budget?

  2. Hmm on Psion Is Back :-), With Windows :-( · · Score: 5, Informative

    We use a rugged Psion Handheld with an RFID reader to identify livestock electronically (approx 50 sets) as seen here http://www.insight.com/uk/apps/productpresentation /index.php?product_id=PSIMX2MB.

    It couldn't possibly be a less reliable piece of shit. Memory cards randomly stop responding, it thinks its batteries are too low to operate even when fresh. Devices attached to it such as the RFID reader stop responding randomly.

    I've had one get hot enough be uncomfortable to your hand but not hot enough to burn (it stopped working of course) and others just stop working all together. They are rated for a 1 meter drop on concrete and we had one stop working after a 2 foot drop off of a chair onto carpet and die.

    I guess the only thing worse than these Handhelds is the RFID reader manufactured by a different company, Hotraco, that misread often if they bother to read at all. We have gone through a few dozen failed units and had to mail the rest to the factory for an internal wiring weakness repair as an oversight from the factory.

    Anyway.. I guess all I'm getting as is you'll never see me buy a Psion PDA. At least my Psion Goldcard works well!

  3. One step further away from communism.... on House Votes to Launch Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 1

    I don't give a fuck what you communist wannabes want out of my phone _I_ don't want you calling. Thanks for the government to make that possible.

  4. Good! on Microsoft Offers A DRM Patch · · Score: 1

    If we can put an end to software piracy of Microsoft business costs will skyrocket and companies will quickly look for alternatives such as linux. Its pathetic how many people don't realize that piracy is what keeps microsoft very high up top. Sure a few people will pay for windows and other software after they can't pirate it but its more likely that more will find an alternative..

  6. Re:NOT a privacy victory on RIAA Quashed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not true, if 1 court is sympathetic to the RIAA and they get all their subpoenas through that court...

    This way there will be some courts (like this one) that will reject their subpoenas. It could snowball against them this way.

  7. My Experiance on How Reliable is 900Mhz Wireless Internet? · · Score: 1

    I've been using wireless 900mhz net for about 7 months now. I've never had downtime due to the wireless itself. Weather has never been a factor and I live in Michigan. I have a 786/786 connection and i pay 30 dollars a month.. not to bad at all as far as i'm concerned! And i get every bit of my bandwidth.

    My cordless phone does stop my net but all i had to do was press 1 button on the phone to change the channel... no big deal.

    My latency is just as good as on cable.

  8. Its all bullshit anyways on FreeCraft Cease and Desisted by Blizzard · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been somewhat involved in the project for a month or so now so I have slightly more insight than the average person. As far as i can tell their is no fucking letter. This letter was sent to an Xdeveloper who has not shown it to anyone. This same Xdeveloper owns the freecraft domains and as soon as he wasn't involved with the project any longer he put them up for sale... hmmm

    Its all bullshit, there probably is no fucking letter. Any other project would have debated this and they would have posted the letter as well, i personally watched them just quit without discussion and fucking everyone else who was working on the project.

    And yes i realize many spelling and grammar errors are in that message, I really couldn't give a fuck less. If it makes you feel less like the peice of shit you are go ahead and correct them. Maybe we'll give you a badge and call you the grammar patrol.

  10. Re:Changing e-mail clients won't do anything.GO on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    HAHAHAHAHHAHA. I am perfectly capable of spelling just fine... what made you assume I could not? Was it my posting in a quick fashion in a laid back environment? Was it the approximate 3% of my post that is spelling errors?

    I think what the problem here is that you troll all fucking day. A quick look at your posts indicate that 5/6 of your posts are trolling. I think your problem is that not only are you a troll but you are too asinine and half-witted to be any good at it. You are incapable of trolling based on the content of a message but instead you focus on how the message is presented.

    I'm sure you were a straight 'A' student in English class and you should be proud! You've probably got a few certificates on your wall about your grammar and English skills that you jack off to daily.

    And as for the word virii... of course its a real fucking word. It just has yet to be adopted. I certainly don't base my everyday usage of words by a dictionary. Only a tight ass anal piece of shit such as yourself would do that. I'm sure that you've either gotten your nerdy ass beat in school and in real life a lot. Well either that or you learned to keep your mouth shut. But if your happy trolling in forums GOOD FOR YOU! I'm sure thats what people small penis syndrome need to do to feel better about themselves.

    Don't bother replying to this post you'll just further embarrass yourself and aside from that I won't respond to it anyway. I have better shit to do than argue with a piece of worthless shit spelling bee champion.

    In all honesty, if I was like you I would have hung myself in the closet a long time ago. I'm sure you still in the closet now, perhaps you can think it over.

  11. Re:Changing e-mail clients won't do anything.GO on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Idiot != Misspelling and/or typos Here is a valuable tip for you. Get a dictionary and learn to use it before you make half-assed attempts at flaming.

    And if you thought things through just a little bit you'd MAYBE put 2 and 2 together and realize people that open attachments are idiots because they do things without thinking about the risks. Doing it once is understandable because the risk may not be clear however doing it over and over or doing it with repeated warnings such as the news makes you an idiot. It has nothing to do with virii or attachments themselves. They are just idiotic actions. Next time Iâ(TM)ll spell it all out for you so that you donâ(TM)t have to continue to make an ass out of yourself.

    Damn that is sad... don't have anything beter to do? What did i say to set you off? You must be a jackass that runs every attachment? Or maybe the mandrake was too difficult for you to manage..

  13. Re:Changing e-mail clients won't do anything.GO on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: 1

    BINGO! We have a winner...

    All of the slashdotters are too fucking stupid to realize that linux and alternative software is NOT the answer. WHY? Because you know that someone that is running debian for example is fairly smart. IF you're fucking stupid enough to run attachements your too stupid to install linux and/or alternative software.

    You can make a general assumption that someone who runs attachements or has been infected more than once is a fucking idiot. You can also assume that they couldn't handle linux - even - Mandrake!

    SCO lets us take a look at there entire source code to see what they copied from the linux kernel. I bet we can find some lines slightly altered and some directly copied from the kernel source.

    Stick to your piece of shit IE. We definitly don't want people like you to begin with.

    Just because some asshole is too lazy to install an extension or to click 1 button over on the mouse to open in tabs is no reason to add many lines of code to the source.
