  1. Re:public insanity? on Amazon Sells More Ebooks On Christmas Than Real Books · · Score: 0

    convenience.

    Moving files around to break DRM isn't convenient and the benefit is not immediately obvious to most people.

  2. Re:Greedy publishers on Amazon Sells More Ebooks On Christmas Than Real Books · · Score: 0

    Professional reviewers on Amazon get products from Amazon for free to review (although I think they have to return them).

  3. Re:Chris & Cherie might not be welcome back... on The Secret Lives of Amazon's Elves · · Score: 0
  4. Re:Thankful for a couple of things on The Secret Lives of Amazon's Elves · · Score: 0

    A little bird told me most orders go out way before Christmas and the last minute shoppers are the exception. All you're really doing is making sure that the temp workers don't go home early before the end of the holiday season.

  5. Re:Robots on The Secret Lives of Amazon's Elves · · Score: 0

    Yes... but you don't have to pay to train your humans how to do this stuff, only your robots.

  6. Re:Frist Post! on Fifth Anniversary of a Cosmic Onslaught · · Score: 0

    Uhm... yeah, that's not really helping... not even a little bit.

  7. AGAIN? on $860 Million In Fines Handed Out For LCD Price-Fixing · · Score: 0

    This is becoming a yearly tradition for LCD companies. Perhaps the fines are low enough that it's still financially viable even if you get caught.

  8. Teen Second Life on FTC Says Virtual Worlds Bad For Minors · · Score: 0

    I wonder if this was in any way brought about by my 200-story-tall penis avatar that I built in Teen Second Life.

  9. Re:WHAT???? on Hackers Find Home In Amazon EC2 Cloud · · Score: 0

    No, Amazon does that. You can fire those people. What you need is people who know how to build a website securely.

  10. National Broadband Plan a Success! on Each American Consumed 34 Gigabytes Per Day In '08 · · Score: 0

    I see that the last mile problem has been solved. This is great! We have solved all the major issues with America including the depression, spiraling medical costs, outsourcing of jobs and crime simply with better reports.

  11. Re:But does it work? on MIT & Harvard On Brain-Inspired A.I. Vision · · Score: 0

    Do you have a link to the original PLoS article? I could not find it.

  12. Re:More than a gimmick? on A Dual-Screen 10.1" Laptop In Time For the Holidays · · Score: 0

    Too bad the resolution is 1024x600. Whatever productivity gain you might have gained with dual-display would be ruined by having to scroll constantly.

  13. Re:Is it trickery? on Bing Gains 10% Marketshare · · Score: 0

    I just tried this and it worked fine in Bing. First hit was Sun's site just like in Google.

  14. Do No Evil on HTTP Intermediary Layer From Google Could Dramatically Speed Up the Web · · Score: 0

    Is this the part where Google takes over the interwebs?

  15. Re:The problem on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You must not be familiar with the Glenn Beck Show.

  16. Re:So.... on Microsoft Links Malware Rates To Pirated Windows · · Score: 0

    I'm responsible for about 100 workstations that run XP with automatic updates and McAfee. Seems like most machines I deal with that become infected use IE as there default browser, but I still see "infections" of toolbars on FireFox.

  17. Digg? on Feds Bust Cable Modem Hacker · · Score: 0

    +5 Funny? I thought this was Slashdot.

  18. Re:I smell some... on The Tech Aboard the International Space Station · · Score: 0

    I imagine the RIAA has no jurisdiction in space. Perhaps TPB should consider hosting on the moon.

  19. Bravo, sir on Pirate Bay Closure Sparked P2P Explosion · · Score: 1, Insightful

    While greed is a great motivator, I still like to think there's a little bit of Gutenberg in us. Distributing copyrighted works is not purely a selfish act.

  20. Re:netbook on Low-Power Home Linux Server? · · Score: 0, Interesting

    The fan in most netbooks is only for your comfort, and will still run fine with the fan disabled or failing. Also, they have a built in UPS with several hours of power!

  21. Re:So what's new? on Netgear WNR3500L Open Source Router Announced · · Score: -1

    It can hide a level of firmware from the OS so the NSA backdoor remains no matter what software you're using.

  22. Upper management? on Banking Via Twitter? · · Score: -1

    Does upper IT management ever run these ideas past the technicians? How did they become upper management of IT in the first place??

  23. What a load of... on Has the WebOS Finally Arrived? · · Score: -1

    money we're making on this. I'm glad my employeer is the kind that sells cloud services instead of buys them. I wouldn't trust my data to the cloud any more then I would my castle. Slashdot is apperently turning into one of those "Managing IT" rags. You know the kind you read when you don't have to have any technical knowledge where every "article" is an add for a critical service you should implement in your "infrastructure."

  24. Re:damage on Amazon Offers To Return Pulled Orwell Ebooks · · Score: -1

    Well there's a silver lining to every cloud. I personally want to thank Jeff for warning us about the potential for abuse digital books has. What better way to demonstrate then with a copy of 1984? Seriously though, most people havn't even heard about this, which is what is really scary to me.

  25. Good news everyone! on Major ISPs Seek To Lower Broadband Definition · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm am no longer either poor or unemployed.
