  1. I fail to see... on LinuxWorld Exhibitors' Responses to Slashdot Questions · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...why any of us want to be seen associating with a known malicious, maybe even crazy, hacker. I know that the rest of the world isn't seeing us as a community any better for associating with law disobeying less than citizens.

  2. Dear God... on First HDD MPEG4 Video Camcorder · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is getting ridiculous. I can't belive that anyone would buy these monstorous MP3+VHS+DVD+CD+VCD+BETA+Memory Stick+Flash+Compact Flash+PCMICICA+Microdrive hellspawn. They cost roughly $10240142814562751725, and usually don't do any of their functions well.
    Give me an old-fashioned Sony Handycam, and I'm happy.

  3. Waste of time and money on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Anyone who is buying this is just wasting their hard-earned money and time. Especially since it costs near $400.
    All the GeForce FX does it improve effects using the DirectX 8 dynamic pipeline improvements, and it's been 2 years and 3 generations of cards since DirectX 8 came out, and there have been only 2 cards using the dynamic pipeline.
    Also, the GeForce FX is a monstrosity. In order to keep it cool, there is a huge fan mounted on it, which causes it to take up an AGP slot and PCI slot, and the card still isn't cooled adequately.
    In short, if you're buying this, you're either rich and/or stupid. It doesn't even support Linex fully yet.

  4. Are you dumb!? Everyone knows! on DDoS for Fun and Profit · · Score: -1, Redundant

  5. Question on Buy a Moller SkyCar Prototype on eBay · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why would anyone buy this?

    It isn't approved for traffic, and it's pretty much a useless prototype.

    oh well, ebay auctions are great for slashdot articles at least...

  6. Gee... on .org TLD Now Runs on PostgreSQL · · Score: -1

    "I guess we can now dispel the "untested in mission-critical applications" myth."

    we can, but it doesn't work in mission-critical applications, cuz i still can't get to slashdot during my lunch hour!

  7. Totally unprofessional on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1, Troll

    "Wired found that more than 90% of the modems they polled were using that default password."

    Believe it or not, "polling" modems by checking their passwords is hacking. If not hacking, it is at least dishonest. How can I trust Wired not to root around my box looking through my private files now that they "polled" my computer to make sure I didn't use a default password?

  8. Confused in Buffalo on Robin's Report From LWCE · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  10. Better idea on When Given the Opportunity to Revise Work Contracts? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lay down and take what's handed to you.
    You don't want them to give you an excuse to fire you in today's economic situation.

    that sucks
    i really liked grafitti...

  12. You *have* to be shitting me! on EFF Report: Four Years Under the DMCA · · Score: 5, Interesting

    These problems are just uneducated judges! If these activist organizations took the time to compile a packet to educated judges instead of complaining, there would be much less misinterpratation of the law.

    With my job as a police officer, I know how little the judges actually know about new laws, and often need to be educated by the lawyers about the law they are trying.

  13. Silly on Google Responds to SearchKing's Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Google didn't reduce SearchKing's page rank, Google changed the page rank formula.

  14. Hey! on Answers From a Successful Free Software Project Leader · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He forgot the XHTML 1.0 complaint answers! :-)

  15. Gee on Metaverse Launched? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds exactly like Sims Online to me, and they already have an established brand.

  16. Ridiculous on Cryptome Log Subpoenaed · · Score: -1, Troll

    "protect the privacy of visitors to the site." (Good job!)"

    Not good job. They protect the safety of criminals too.

  20. Pure BS on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "One possible explanation is something that my team and I noticed a couple of years ago"

    They had IE 3 a "couple" of years ago. This article is based on faulty data from two or three years ago, which the author even admits.

    Maybe the editors should read the links in stories before posting the stories, it gives Slashdot a bad name to be posting articles like this.

  21. Anyone tired of criticism of the editors? on Number of Jobs by Programming Language · · Score: 0, Troll


    "from the algol-is-not-listed dept."

    I DEMAND that this "timothy" character is fired! I, "timothy", am a Algol programmer, and due to this insensitive comment by you, my company decided to fire me since I'm worthless!

  23. But... on Habitable Planets May Be Common · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "one in four of the planetary systems identified to date outside the Solar System are capable of harbouring other Earths"

    The operable word here is capable.
    Half of these planets won't have oxygen, another 49.9% will be too cold.
    This study is referring to the distance of the star to the planet being far enough that the sun doesn't fry the planet.

  24. Well, gee on GTA and Rating of Video Games · · Score: 1

    " 'Computer games are art and should be dealt with accordingly, without any references to the prohibition tactics of the 1980:ies.' "

    You could say the same about movies, but we use "prohibition tactics" to stop "underage" people from seeing them.
