  1. Real Estate Bubble - Stock Bubble on The DotCom Crash Revisited · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The rampant speculation has moved right into real estate. Prepare for the next great crash, with greater consequences.

  2. No surprise here. on SF Writers Sting Supposedly Traditional Publisher · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How do you think stories get published on Slashdot?

  3. Re:.88%? on Firefox Continues Gains against IE · · Score: 2, Informative

    This link does not relate to the article or the above post in any way. It has absolutely nothing to do with traffic counting. Thanks for trying.

  4. Re:-1, Redundant for me, please... on Firefox Continues Gains against IE · · Score: 1

    I wonder how you would feel if your boss decided that you were a jerk and therefore he shouldn't have to pay you for your work.

  5. Re:About time. on Yahoo! Maps to Support Realtime Traffic · · Score: 1
    online maps don't even ALLOW you to request an alternate route.

    Sorry, you have to pay for that. Maybe you think that everything should be free for your own benefit?

  6. Re:A great idea on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 1

    Project Seven has some great menus that work well without javascript, but work even better with it turned on.

  7. Re:A way around it all. on Labels Trying New CD Copy Prevention Systems · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Tell that to the guy doesn't want to figure out how to rip it himself and is now afraid to download that ripped copy off of BitTorrent and Kazaa. He doesn't know where else to get it, so the protection worked on him. The media companies have never had complete control of their content, but they already know that. Everything they do to make distribution more difficult means more sales for them.

  8. Re:The Screenshot /.ed on ReactOS Runs On The XBox · · Score: 1

    All that time spent working on an XBox and they can't get a better TV?

  9. I can get in on AOL Locks Out AIM Screen Names · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Woah, that was a close one.

  10. Re:Protest on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    I agree. The amount of neglect involving the Open Directory is criminal.

  11. Re:About wireless on Nmap Author Receives FBI Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    An access point without Internet? Sounds exiting! Let us know when you get an actual user.

  12. Re:Stuff it with games on Best Live Linux For Christmas Giving? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah free old games! You know AOL mails me a cd full of free games every month, so it must be a great idea.

  13. Re:Yeah, I already got the letter about this one.. on California Considers Tracking Your Car · · Score: 1

    Why does everything think that people are migrating here from other states? If you stopped counting the immigrants coming from across the border, you would see a massive exodus from the state over the last several years. Try to rent a Uhaul out of the state and see what I mean. They'll practically pay you to drive one into California.

  14. Re:Would you want to work for this guy? on Worker Fired For Running SETI On State-Owned PCs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Anyone dumb enough to be looking for alien space signals should be fired anyway.

  15. Wasting Time on Worker Fired For Running SETI On State-Owned PCs · · Score: 5, Funny

    This qualifies as "Useless waste of government resources", just like browsing Slashdot. See ya, buddy.

  16. Huh? on Goodbye SNMP? Hello, WS-Management · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't see what's wrong with community string security. My set all of my passwords to "public" just to make things easy.

  17. Re:Energy Task Force had maps of Iraqi oilfields on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    Every third grader has a map of Arab oil fields in his world history book. What's your point? Would you feel better if an ENERGY TASK FORCE had no clue regarding the logistics of world's oil supplies?

  18. Re:18-35 #24 IRAQ/FOREIGN AFFAIRS on Help Select Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 1

    No two nuclear-armed powers have never, and will never, go to full-scale war. Unfortunately, it only takes one.

  19. Re:Proof. on Network Security Assessment · · Score: 0

    It's just one of those trendy sayings that's been getting hyped up these days. It's kind of like saying nothing could ever be water-proof.

  20. "How to hacker-proof your server with nmap" on Network Security Assessment · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's the name of my book. Does it qualify?

  21. Re:A New Economics System? on The Next Social Revolution? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Don't worry, with his kind of thinking, he'll never get off of welfare.

  22. Re:Fast download! on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 1

    Try a job in the real world and get the same speed all year long.

  23. Re:UN says Canada is a better place to live on Why Offshore When Canada's Next Door? · · Score: 1

    Of course, the U.N. didn't think that Saddaam-era Iraq was such a bad place either.

  24. Re:It isn't necessarily all it is cracked up to be on Why Offshore When Canada's Next Door? · · Score: 1
    Canadian healthcare workers are a rare breed who get paid peanuts compared to their US counterparts because they believe in equal access for all.

    Yeah, I want my health care to come from a practitioner who's motivated by "the greater good" instead of one who trades his productivity for money. Those greedy capitalists will destroy the world!

  25. Re:They may be Intellectually smarter... on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 1

    OEM Windows license is only about $80, so I guess you could say that if you normally buy $160 computers.
