  1. Re:Duh on The BBC's Honeypot PC · · Score: 1

    Neither is a properly patched XP system.

  2. Duh on The BBC's Honeypot PC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well...I can guarantee that if you put a Linux or OS X box on the Internet that it would be attacked by exactly the same things. What's the point of this again?

  3. Fishing? on GUIs Get a Makeover · · Score: 3, Funny

    Unless we're talking about GUIs that can catch fish, shouldn't it be "gaffe"?

  4. Re:Yawn on Play PS3 Title flOw Right Now · · Score: 1

    If you can stay awake long enough, play for a few minutes and see what happens when the big critters appear. Framerate drops drastically and it becomes hard to control.

  5. Re:Yawn on Play PS3 Title flOw Right Now · · Score: 1

    Re-read my comment as tell me where I even mentioned Sony or the PS3. This game would suck just as hard on a 360 as it does in Flash.

  6. Yawn on Play PS3 Title flOw Right Now · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Crappy frame rate (in a 2-d game!) and kind of interesting for about five minutes. Not quite Geometry Wars, sorry guys.

  7. +1 Funny on Running a Non-Partisan Political Forum? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why isn't this under the Humor section?

  8. Re:not that impressive on Lego Star Wars II Sells 1.1 Million · · Score: 1

    Why does it matter how many platforms they release it for? 1.1 million is 1.1 million. It's not like many people are buying multiple copies for different platforms.

  9. Next generation 5 years ago on Linux Hackers Offered Early Access to Next-Gen DVR · · Score: 1

    No HD, no DVI = already obsolete.

  10. Re:To be pointlessly anal... on The Financials of Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    Not pointless at all...there's a HUGE difference between an Xbox Live Arcade game and a standard Xbox 360 title. The headline should be changed.

  11. Re:Postgres on PostgreSQL Slammed by PHP Creator · · Score: 1

    MS SQL has had row-level locking for many many years now.

  12. Re:Define hypocrisy on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    you should code to the standard and making it look right is the browser's problem.

    Must be nice living on a planet where you can just tell a client/boss that it's IE/FF's fault that their site doesn't look right...

  13. Dooooomed on How Do You Manage a Product Based on Linux? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I love when people hype up "free" software without thinking about all of the other things you need to have in place to get it working. Choosing a platform without looking at critical components like build tools and version control is inexcusable - find another job now before this project is completely doomed and you have no choice.

  14. Media on Stolen Laptop Calls In! - Will Police Act? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If the police won't do anything, call the local press.

  15. Re:Microsoft doesn't need to do anything... on GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    The only GPL code that has any real traction in the enterprise is Linux. And they've already stated that they're perfectly happy with version 2 of the GPL.

  16. Re:Google doesn't stand a chance!!! on Microsoft COO Warns Google Away From Corp Search · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    This is Slashdot. Inside the Slashdot bubble, nothing that Microsoft has ever done has been worth anything, and nothing that they ever do will be worth looking at. Bill Gates is evil. Linux and/or OS X have a huge, ever-growing percentage of the market share and will eventually take over the world. Neither has ever had a security problem that wasn't immediately and completely fixed. Firefox will destroy Internet Explorer. Vista and IE7 will be irrelevant. FreeBSD is dead. And whoever modded your post up will have it rated "Unfair" in metamoderation.

  17. Re:Hopefully.... on Microsoft Sued Over WGA · · Score: 1

    What would be the problem with shutting down unlicensed computers?

  18. Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike & Forza on The Best of Xbox Back Compat · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They're right on the money with GR2: Summit Strike. I still play it way more than GR: Advanced Warfighter. The maps are better, there's a lot more variety, and you don't have to deal with the kiddies who rig the game to get their rank up. And Forza is still my racing choice. All of the idiots who play bumper cars instead of racing seem to have moved over to PGR3, and there's some great competition on Live in Forza.

  19. Gotta love Google on RIP Ethereal, Long Live Wireshark · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Did you mean: Wereshark"

  20. Re:Where's the problem? on Rambus Claims It Was Price-Fixing Target · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Dumping" is illegal.. That's when you sell something at an artificially low price for a period of time in order to gain market share or drive a competitor out of business.

  21. AVS Forum on Large Format TV Options? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The AVS Forum is a great place to ask questions like this.

  22. Re:No capacity mentioned. on IBM and Fuji Announce Tape Storage Breakthrough · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's a better article.. They're claiming 8TB before compression on an LTO-sized tape. Tape record smashed with 8 terabyte format

  23. Re:And they moved from? on The FAA Saves $15 Million by Migrating to Linux · · Score: 1

    They moved from a "costly UNIX system". It says it right in the press release.

  24. Rehash of a Slate story on The 360 Is Too Cheap? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Slate magazine said the same thing four months ago:

    The Great Xbox Shortage of 2005
    Xbox Economics, Part 2

  25. Citrix features on Alternatives to Citrix Remote Computing? · · Score: 1

    Terminal Services doesn't have published applications like Citrix does, so if you have multiple applications running on the server you'll have to figure out a way to handle that. Load balancing and server management are also easier in Citrix. You'll also lose the "seamless window" thing. You can set up a session to automatically run an application at login, but it'll always appear as though you're remoted into a separate Windows desktop. I don't think there are any other options out there for you.. You can either pay the extra $$$ for the features that Citrix gives you, or run it on Terminal Services.
