  1. Sheesh on Microsoft Soft-Pedals Dialup · · Score: 1

    This leaves exactly how many big players in the dialup market? Dialup is still the only option in many places.

    Oh give me a break. First the "MS Bad" mantra is spewed like crazy, then when they actually pull out of a market, the same people cry foul. Ridiculous.

  2. Here we go again. on Grand Theft Auto Ban To Be Decided By Courts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yet another group sticking its nose into the private business of others, on the basis of "hate speech" censorship. Simply disgusting and contrary to free speech rights.

  3. Hey man, on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 1

    just don't mention it to any PETA or animal liberation/rights freaks and I don't think you'll run into any trouble.

  4. 7,000 wind turbines on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 1

    7,000 stones. QED.

  5. Kill 22,000 birds on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 5, Interesting

    with 7,000 stones. In all seriousness, this number is probably tiny compared to the amount of birds that get shredded in personal, commercial and miliatary aircraft over the last 20 years. It's sort reporting the fact that blueberries are blue.

  6. Everything he says is true. on Wikipedia Needs $20K · · Score: 1

    God bless you for having the courage to wrap the whole situation up into one neat package. You forgot to mention that rusty has spent a lot of time in other parts of nature and made sourdough yeast bread.

  7. Oh Michael... on Computers Paraphrase English · · Score: -1, Troll

    This technology, destined to eventually replace most reporters with very small shell scripts, is thankfully still in its infancy.

    What are you fearful of, Michael? Is it really that transparent that a machine could do what you do on SlashDot, Michael? How pathetic, you fear that automa will take over your "responsibilities" of masturbating in your pajamas all day and watching Cartoon Network. I really am quite sorry, Michael.

  8. "battling" software patents on Europeans Still Battling Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Considering that mechanical realisations of software can be constructed, I see little point in "battling" them, as they're fully tangible, patentable ideas.

  9. Oh gee, recalled? on Slashback: VeriSign, Balance, Manifestation · · Score: 1

    Pity. Now those three people who own them are going to have to learn to walk again. What a shame that people have no concept of stored energy and how it's finite. The video of I guess it's GWB falling off of a Segway is damn hilarious.

  10. Think economy, stupid! on Distribution of Wealth in a Robot-Driven World · · Score: 1

    Right into the National Healthcare General Fund!

  11. Whoops! on Japan, China & South Korea May Develop OS · · Score: 1

    Must post in Plain Text Mode in order to show my tags!

  12. An OS brough in part by Red China? on Japan, China & South Korea May Develop OS · · Score: 1

    Where do I sign up!?

  13. They'll never win. on E-Pass Can Resue Patent Case Against Palm · · Score: 1

    The scope of their patent is more specific than the general uses which Palm/Visor/etc can perform. While a Palm can store PIN numbers and all that hubaloo, that is not one of the main purposes of the device.

  14. No offense, on Female Gamer Talks Girl Gaming · · Score: 1

    but even a retard could get a PhD in chemistry. hugalugalugalugalug.

  15. Excellent on Violent Video Game Restriction Struck Down · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now 13 year old kids can buy pornographic video games and video games about serial murder. Just lovely.

  16. The only reason they failed on Media Monopoly: Thomas Edison to Hillary Rosen · · Score: 4, Insightful

    is that they tried to "dominate" a tangible market.

  17. Yeezus. on The Mafia Everquest Connection · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can't even imagine the combination of smells in that conference room: horrible body odor from the Everquest people mixed with the excessive stink of aftershave that the Sopranos guineas wear. I predict a big rumble taking place, namely the Everquest people sucking fist and nursing head wounds.

  18. Snooze.. on Mount Remote Filesystems via SSH · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    We've had something superior to this for about five years now, it's called NFS, the Novell Files Shared. Get with the times people.

  19. I'm sorry. on TiVo Hacking Book to be Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Could you think of a better way to waste your time than writing a TiVO hacking book?

  20. Ha. on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 0

    What does that say about somebody who will track down a kid and "own" his computer because he was pathetic enough to seek dates on Slashdot of all places, instead of oh...say...real life? Sounds like a complete twat and quite antisocial if you ask me.

  21. Back under the bridge, on Use a Honeypot, Go to Prison? · · Score: 0, Troll

    troller.

  22. Really cool high-altitude pix on Pictures of Earth From Mars · · Score: -1, Troll

    Here's a really cool link to the webcam atop the famous Kuala Lumpur Petronas towers. If you e-mail me at my e-mail address kidlinux@spacebox.net, I can send you some neat high res pix.

  23. Re:Using Honeypots for Increased Computer Security on Use a Honeypot, Go to Prison? · · Score: 1

    You seem quite dedicated. If you would like to collaborate with me on a honeypot project I've been working on, contact my e-mail address which is jimpocalyko@earthlink.net. I'd like to hear more of your ideas.

  24. Hey hey, on Next Generation Space Shuttles · · Score: 4, Funny

    As long as the new space shuttles have some modern computers on board (as opposed to the dated ones on the current shuttles) and the re-entry tiles are properly glued on, then the new shuttles will be just spiffy.

  25. I tried an in-car media server for a while, on Install An Xbox/Linux Media System In Your Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    but then realised how cumbersome the setup is. Anything short of a custom LCD driver and navigation buttons is terribly unnecessary, in my humble opinion. Commercial solutions, even for MP3 stuff, are preferred by myself.
