  1. Go Ogle! on Google's IPO Trading Defies Dutch Auction Logic? · · Score: 1

    I love what Google's doing! As it stands I'm going to make a FORTUNE! Because I'm a Republican conservative and as such I'm really smart and informed in money matters.

  2. Cold Computers on South Pole Research Station Hacked Twice · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is "cracking" cold computers easier (like ice)?

  3. Re:Nanoo Nanoo on Two New Saturnian Moons · · Score: 1

    Hopefully we can send the liberal wackos in Boulder to these two new moons.

  4. Those that can, do; Those who can't, teach on Sampling Short Sequences From Long MP3 Recordings? · · Score: 1

    Typical Academe. What essential tangible job skills does this exercise teach?

  5. Artificial pr0n created?? on Artificial Prion Created · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Um, artificial pr0n has been being created for a LONG time! Do some Googling next time:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=fake+celebrity+porn

    Oh...wait...the title is Artificial Prion Created. NM, carry on ;P

  6. Re:No, I did not read the article... on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    Ever wonder why pro lenses start at $1000?

    Yes, actually. I'm sure there is greater cost, labor, etc. involved, but I'd be at a loss trying to explain what exactly the differences are between a cheap lens and a $1000 lens.

  7. Re:No, I did not read the article... on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    There is such a thing as megapixels (and megahertz) - you're just arguing about the QUALITY of the sensor.

  8. Re:And this is why I quit the cell industry on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean 7/10/11 digits?

    xxx-xxxx (7)
    xxx-xxx-xxxx (10)
    1-xxx-xxx-xxxx (11)

  9. Re:We've seen this before in the PC card market on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    Makes one wonder - how long until cell phones are included on motherboards. Or motherboards in cell phones.

  10. Re:Who hates that all-in-device on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where can I get the backrub model?

  11. Note about RAID on Terabyte Storage Solutions? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I never knew this, and apparently many others didn't either, but if you use hardware RAID the disks are tied to that card.

    More info here, plus the ever-acidic jwz calling people dumbasses, dipshits, and more fun!

  12. Re:Easy these days. on Terabyte Storage Solutions? · · Score: 1

    How long does it usually take to rsync a 250GB drive though?

  13. Outsourcing? Slashdot/OSDN/Sourceforge can help! on Microsoft Outsourcing High-Level Work · · Score: 2, Informative
    I think the motive of this story, and the slashdot editors publishing it is to take a swipe at Microsoft (yet again) as well as those who outsource. It's ironic and hypocritical then that the banner at the top of Slashdot's page was for this:

    Keep Offshore Development On Track

    Managing application development with both in-house and international teams is difficult, especially with 20th century LAN-based tools. Lack of visibility and control make it hard to stay on top of projects, changes and quality. IP security and traceability take on increased importance. And disparate tools, systems and processes create inefficiencies that contribute to project delays and higher direct and indirect costs.

    The best way to streamline and manage distributed development is with a Global Development Platform: a centralized, secure, web-based system that can integrate with — and provide a common view into — heterogeneous tools and systems to optimize team productivity while providing superior visibility and control.

  14. Re:Free Pass!! on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    You sure live in a make-believe world. Most liberals I know of do pretty much nothing BUT blog their far-left socialist crap, typically from their parent-subsidized college dorm rooms. The vast majority of blogs are left-wing, and I know of no conservatives that do nothing but blog and don't work. Unemployed conservative is an oxymoron; unemployed welfare-receiving liberal is not. Stop being such an ignoramus.

  15. Priceless on Doom 3 Hardware Guide Debuts · · Score: 2, Funny

    * Doom 3 - $50
    * New system to run Doom 3 - $650-100+
    * Not realizing the irony of this - priceless

  16. Re:Heh heh on Doom 3 Hardware Guide Debuts · · Score: 1

    Celerons suck. Period.

  17. Re:And on the software front... on Doom 3 Hardware Guide Debuts · · Score: 0, Troll

    MS-DOS doesn't do any of that stuff either. Plus it crashes a whole lot less. Perhaps you should switch to that instead.

  18. Re:Free Pass!! on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    You sure are ignorant - it's the left-wing morons that steal from taxpayers. It's conservatives who WORK to EARN money. Without us, there'd be nobody for Democrats to skim off of to make a living.

  19. Re:Free Pass!! on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    It was a JOKE - targetted toward the slashdot crowd which largely thinks stealing copyrighted music files on p2p is perfectly okay.

  20. Slashdot on Microsoft to Issue Out-of-Cycle Patch for IE · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...where I come for all my MS IE patch news.

  21. Re:Free Pass!! on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    Haha. You're probably one of those delusional paranoid tin-foil hat wearing lefties that think RFIDs will be the end of the world.

  22. Dropped my running laptop in a tub of liquid on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1
  23. Free Pass!! on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    Ah, I think I'm looking forward to all this RFID stuff!

  24. Server locked in closet for years on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    I remember a story some years ago on the Register where a server was left running in a closet. Everybody forgot about it and for some reason the closet was closed off behind a brick wall. A few years later, the brick wall was torn down for some other reason. They opened the closet, and there was the server - still running!

    I tried googling for this story, but couldn't find it. I'm nearly positive I read it a few years ago on theregister.co.uk.

    PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
