  1. Re:Cha ching, reloaded. on Gates on Spam · · Score: 1

    >Also, what is Gates holding in that picture? A >joint? I think so. They took the picture while he was in mid-exhale, starting to say "Ooodles..." of cash.

  2. Viri TCO on Gates on Spam · · Score: 1

    Great. So now I not only have to pay to get viruses, I have to lend them processor time on my box. How is this lowering my TCO again?

  3. workaround on Local Root Vulnerability in passwd(1) on Solaris 8, 9 · · Score: 1

    I looked into it.... and then lauged till I shat myself.

  5. Re:Time for SCO to put up on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1

    Thing is, they won't. The whole point of this SCO crap is not to build a company, but to stuff as much money into your pockets on your way to filing chapter 11.

  6. Oh for god's sakes.. on Purely Functional Data Structures · · Score: 1

    If if had any merit, Microsoft would have already stolen it, or SCO would be suing Curry for IP infringement. Nice try - back to work people.

    Shit..you watch too much tv.. if there was anything to worry about, Spirit and Opportunity would have been fazered to death by Klingon war patrols already. Anyone knows that. Send the Astronauts!!

  9. metal chip paint? on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't make enough money to just have a $20 laying around at my disposal (no I don't work for slashdot) but I remember a PBS program about these new bills. They were grinding up metal flakes into the green ink. This would produce the "holographic" type shifting colors in the printed ink when the bill is tilted. Perhaps these dudes were nuking the metal shavings out of their $20s? It would make sense that each bill would burn in the same place if they are all printed the same.

    > You do realize you can say "fuck", "bitch", and > "ass" on Slashdot, don't you? Fuck, Bitch, Don't be such an ass on slashdot. Thanks for the insight. I feel better already.

  11. Re:Excellent publicity. on Sun Agrees to Talk to IBM over Open Sourcing Java · · Score: 1

    Shit...I never met a binary that couldn't be decompiled or unassembled. Of course, that whole process is illegal now under the DMCA, so I guess your IP is safe ;o)

  13. Re:Those Dumb Chairs on Last Great Internet Bubble Auction · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'm sitting in one of those dumb chairs right now. I hate them so much, I actually spent $800 beans on one for use at home. My back was all f#cked up prior to trying one of these awful chairs out and as soon as I sat in it, I could tell right away I simply hated it. ;)

    Seriously, my back has never felt better after sitting for 8 hours straight. Only b#tch I got is the fabric is somewhat slippery so I douse it with gluestick before parking my a$$ in it every morning.

  14. Just what we need on MS and Sendmail work together on Spam Solution · · Score: 1

    The worlds most cracked mail server teaming up with the worlds most cracked operating system... course on the other hand, I suppose they have the worlds best experience.

  15. Re:I wonder... on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 1

    It's also a mess trying to play with 3 others who have also "tuned by ear". A little bit off 3 different ways makes your ears want to vomit. This gizmo has same great potential! And entire band dropping to a preset tuning in the middle of a song would be cool!!!

  16. Ok Pepsi on RIAA Countersued Under Racketeering Laws · · Score: 1

    Care to take the "RIAA" challenge and fund some of these causes?

  17. The Wheel Warden on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    That's what my friend used to call his. The state installed one of these things in his car after he got several DUIs. Nothing new. He'd be rolling down the hiway and the Wheel Warden would start beeping and he would have to blow into the tube or it would cut the engine. Some people circumvented this and simply held the tube out the window and gave it some fresh air. The state then came back with a revision where you had to "hum" while blowing to get around the "airbourne" tubes. I got a lot of enjoyment sitting in the passengers seat, completely pickled, watching this guy give his car a hummer every so often. Almost messed myself a couple times from laughing so hard... great entertainment.

  18. Riiiggghhhttt... on Apple Now Debt Free, Says Internal Memo · · Score: 1

    I'm to understand Apple bought back their sou... er.. paid off this $150 million as well? http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,5814,00.htm l Does this mean they are no longer AppleSoft?

  19. beware of Microscope on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1

    Several years ago, I bought this package because it said it would detect bad ram. Well, it didn't. After contacting the company, they did not want to refund my money. I ended up calling the credit card company I was using and explained the situation. They told me to box it up, send it back, and they refunded my money.

  21. 7-11 on India Woos Medical Tourists · · Score: 1

    Cool. I can gas up my car, get a Squishy, flip through a porno mag, and have my heart valve replaced all at the neighborhood 7-11. You know, maybe capitalism can work out a way to ship all the Americans to India, and bring all the Indians to America!! Think how much money that would save a company! electricians, programmers, nuclear scientists, garbage truck drivers, hookers, everything would be so much cheaper!

  22. I sent BBC some feedback (link below) on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There. I filled out the BBC News feedback form to let them know their columnist needs some adjusting:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3281777.stm

    [my feedback to BBC news]
    I have just finished reading the article on your website which is entitled "Linux cyber-battle turns nasty", written by Stephen Evans. I am perplexed at the biased content of this article.

    The writer of the article has applied the actions of a (possibly) single individual to an entire group of people. I don't see how that is fair, or responsible reporting. As a Linux user, this article has now portrayed me as fraudulent, unprincipled, and deceitful.

    I should note also that the content of this article paints the BBC News with the same fraudulent, unprincipled and deceitful brush that Stephan has attempted to paint the Linux community with. It is cheap and irresponsible reporting.

  23. baloney on Jobs to India -- A Broad Look · · Score: 1

    I know enough money grubbing executive type golf jockeys that are perfectly happy with the US's
    "economic recovery" and they don't want it to change. They are making more money hiring in third world countries, but getting less quality in the product. They don't care about the quality because that isn't what makes money anymore. What makes money is beating the competition to the cheap labor, and that is what is happening. You think IBM is so great? Go google for the new plant they are "beating" the competition to in China.

    India: If you think you are exempt from this dynamic you are wrong. My advice to you would be to steal all the office supplies you can while you still have the chance. Your false sense of worth will be leaving soon when "US Corp" figures out how to get a 10 year old korean hooker to type WinBeginPaint() for the price of a stapler and a hummer. Good luck Apu.
