  1. Anonymous ? Fast ? on Freenet 0.5.1 Released, P2P Network Stabilizing · · Score: 1, Troll

    Have any of you actually used Freenet ? It's a mass of broken links (or perhaps they would have arrived eventually - I only waited an hour).

    More importantly, have any of you clowns actually read the Freenet specifications ? There's no anonymity in it - there's just hiding of the information needed to perform the most direct, trivial attacks. Do you really think a governmental or corporate adversary couldn't do better than that ?

  2. Re:but could you live without it on Should you Fear Google? · · Score: 1

    Of course !

    "Eat your cake, and it can't have you" !

    Clearly, this is advice that you should delete your cookie, and then you will be safe !

  3. Re:You're never paranoid enough... on Should you Fear Google? · · Score: 1

    And can I just say from all of us, will you please stop wanking !

  4. Re:but could you live without it on Should you Fear Google? · · Score: 1
    arrange the words cake, eat, can't have, you, and, it & your into a well known phrase...
    And your cake you have. Eat it you cannot.
  5. Re:4.7 is 1337 d00dz on Intel Demos 4.7-GHz Pentium · · Score: 1

    but what type of application requires that much horse power?

    PC emulators. Now that real PCs run at 2.8 GHz, we desperately need 4.7 Ghz PCs to emulate them on. We must not allow a Gigahertz Gap !

  6. More MHz on Pentium-Based Macs The Future of Apple? · · Score: 1

    "the megahertz myth is a difficult one to overcome."

    Well, no, it isn't. If you want an impressive MHz figure, just divide the clock on-chip so that the external clock frequency looks suitably high. Either people will be fooled, and buy your processor, or MHz as a measure will be discredited. Either way you win.

    I find it odd that no-one, in particular the RISC vendors, has ever done this.

  7. Slappers. on New Linux Worm Found in the Wild · · Score: 4, Informative

    A linguistic note for Americans and other aliens....

    "Slapper" is an EnglishEnglish term for a woman with an easily exploited hole....

  8. Re:Neural Repair State Of The Art. on Embryonic Stem Cell Research Legalized in California · · Score: 1

    i'm not sure that i understood the intent of your comment

    Well you got that right :->

  9. Neural Repair State Of The Art. on Embryonic Stem Cell Research Legalized in California · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As this article will probably have attracted some researchers with an interest in neural repair, this seems like a good opportunity to ask the following questions:

    What's the state of the art when it comes to replacing brain tissue ? Are there any reasons to believe that newly added neurons can or cannot migrate to correct sites, achieve the correct functional state, and make the appropriate connections ?

  10. Re:HydroPHOBIC methinks. on Self-Cleaning Glass · · Score: 1

    Ignore the slashdot writeup. (I didn't really need to say that, did I :-> ) The titanium dioxide coating is the photocatalyst. When UV falls upon it, it produces photoelectrons which transfer to any organic gunk on the surface, oxidising it.

  11. Re:ahem! on Self-Cleaning Glass · · Score: 1

    what about something every geek could use? a self cleaning toilet.

    Can't you get a gimp like any normal person ?

  12. Re:Self-Cleaning Dishes on Self-Cleaning Glass · · Score: 2, Funny

    When are they going to make my plates and cups self-cleaning too?

    Oh dear, another Slashdotter with no girlfriend :->
