  1. Babelfish to the rescue! on Today's SCO News · · Score: 3, Funny

    That of Bremen Linux specialist univention _ obtained regional court before that of Bremen against the SCO Group GmbH a provisional order

  2. get yourself a good dick on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    Philip Dick is definitely the father of cyberpunk and a great writer as well. Plenty of good stories if you can find them.

  3. How feasible is it to go to IPv6? on Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    It is probably going to be implemented down the road, but how many companies are actually ready to use it?

  4. Has anyone else heard about this DARPANET? on OpenBSD Lands $2 Million In DARPA Money · · Score: 5, Funny

    Its supposed to hook scientists and researchers together over a "network" where computers can exchange information. It would be neat if this technology would some day be available to everyone!

  5. Give credit where credit is due on BBC on Website Slow Downs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where is the term "Slashdot effect" in this article?

  6. Re:"Insite? Insit?" on New Legit Napster Service Coming · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I Insit that the summary is not very "insiteful"

  7. Where's the interesting discussion? on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It sure wasn't on the end of that link. That article is about as interesting as this http://www.pattiann.com/webcam/paint.html

  8. Peace Corps not part of Homeland Security on Peace Corps to Wire Senegal · · Score: 4, Informative

    From the Peace Corps website: "Currently, 6,678 Peace Corps volunteers are serving in 70 countries, working to bring clean water to communities, teach children, help start new small businesses, and stop the spread of AIDS. Since 1961, more than 168,000 Americans have joined the Peace Corps, serving in 136 nations." These people most likely dont have the skills to combat cyber terrorism and are using the skills they do have to set up small networks and get people on the internet.

  9. Re:Intelligent IDS on Firewalls and Internet Security, 2nd Ed. · · Score: 1

    Have you implemented this? It looks like a nice improvement for Snort, but I am wary of the automatic patching capabilities.

  10. This is only fair. on CT Lottery to Offer PC Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    Camel Joe shouldn't have a monopoly on inappropriate advertising aimed at children. Nice to be able to have a smoke while you are gambling, kids!

  11. More info on URU on British Telecom Pushes Universal ID Check System · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    http://www.googlism.com/when_is/u/uru/

  12. Why is space so dirty? on Collecting Stardust · · Score: 5, Funny

    If space is a giant vacuum, shouldn't it be picking up all this dust?

  13. Apple Newtons on Five Years Later, Newton Still Going Strong · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Related link. http://www.nabiscoworld.com/newtons/

    Mmmmmmmmmmmm Fig Newtons

  14. War called on account of old battery on The Riddle of Baghdad's Battery · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Anyway, how many priceless artifacts have been destroyed by the massive tunneling the Iraqis have done to hide weapons. I am sure that preserving antiquities was not their highest priority.

  15. How clever! Reverse karma whore. on Citibank Tries to Hush ATM Crypto Vulnerability · · Score: 0, Troll

    It the great /. tradition of saying something fast rather than saying it properly. Nice work!

  16. The problem isn't the harsh sentences for hackers on Lawyers Say Hackers Are Sentenced Too Harshly · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Its the inability to impose proper sentences for violent criminals and drug offenders. I have no sympathy for people invading companies computers for whatever reason and they should be punished harshly. I have better things to do on my weekends then combat those assholes. But there is a need for reform in the way punishment is administered for violent criminals and longer sentences need to be handed out.

  17. Hard to beat Count Zero on Pattern Recognition · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have started reading Pattern Recognition after re-reading Count Zero and it definitely doesnt have the same immediate impact. The earlier book hits you hard in the first paragraph and does not let up. His works are interesting not just for the good writing, but also the creative ideas he has deaking with the future of technology.

  18. Must be the timing. on Oscar Nominations (LotR, Spirited Away, and more) · · Score: 1

    There hasn't been much discussion of this film in recent weeks leading up to the nominations. I think it was a much more cohesive and better acted than Gangs of New York.

  19. Where is Nemesis? on Oscar Nominations (LotR, Spirited Away, and more) · · Score: 2, Funny

    Surely its a better movie than any musical?

  20. Re:Monopolies on Demand More From Your Copper · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thanks for these intriguing comments Mr. Gates:)

  21. Baked a SUN server once on Baked Apple · · Score: 4, Funny

    Evidently if you don't make sure the little switch is in the right position in the back and plug it into high voltage, the things tend to be a little tempermental. Loud pop, a little smoke and no more SUN.

  22. Re:Coincidence on 5th Anniversary of Open Source · · Score: 5, Funny

    Also, 5 years ago today, Bill Gates has a pie thrown in his face is Brussels. http://goinside.com/98/2/billpie.html

  23. What about DS9 movies? on Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That series became pretty interesting in the last couple years and left some unfinished story lines. I would rather see movies based on that series coming up with weak plots like the one for Nemesis.

  24. Sorry, I must have missed that convention on Battlefield Medkits Improve · · Score: 1

    I was at Vulkon Las Vegas that weekend

  25. Re:That is a anti-tank weapon. on Battlefield Medkits Improve · · Score: 1

    Well if it works on tanks, it should be pretty effective on people. In any case it would be a good way to test those bandages.
