  1. FUD? on Dangerous Java Flaw Threatens 'Virtually Everything' · · Score: 2, Informative

    The article contains virtually no information about the exploit. "There's a vulnerability. And it's really scary" is about all I got out of this.

    Don't assume. It only makes an ass out of you and... well just you.

  3. Re:Battletoads on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 0

    This used to be one of my favorite games for the NES. I used to be able to beat it without losing a life, but it took me MONTHS to get there.

  4. Re:Clerical ... well maybe it was clerical influen on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 0

    Macro evolution is, as far as I understand it, the transition from one species to another. An example would be the transition from say a mouse to a cat (poor example I know). I think there is an abundance of proof for micro evolution, which is the variation within a species but I have yet to see any proof that a species can, through the process of evolution, eventually change into another species even in very small steps. If you have any documentation of this I would seriously love to see it.

    I have recently converted to christianity and have been struggling to get my new found christian friends to open thier minds to the possiblity that evolution isn't complete BS. But the more I look the less proof I find.

    I personally feel that evolution is only part of the answer and that we don't yet have all the information. This is where the debate arises because there are many who think that evolution is a complete and airtight theory and get very agitated when it's questioned. Conversley, while I do believe that God created the universe, he did it according to a set of rules (Physics?) that He created and those rules are worth exploring from a scientific standpoint.

    Exactly what I was trying to say. Thank you for putting it clearly.

    This is an interesting essay that I think sums up the public education system's problem nicely.

  6. Hope this replaces the SCO stories on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thanks for the new sig. I blew milk out my nose!

  10. Re:What's the point? on Google to Include iTunes? · · Score: 1

    I am in the same boat. I love the guys over at Code Weavers for what they have done but it just doesn't groove with my iPod Shuffle. Speaking of which, is there ANY commercial music service that works with Linux? I know I will get the comments "RIAA is bad! Don't buy their swill!" but damn! I can only go so long without my Brittney Spears fix.

  11. You all have it wrong on The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? · · Score: 1

    Yep, it's official. They only give mod points to those with an IQ less than 60.

    Yeah, slashdot has been dead all day when it comes to posts.

    This is the first list of this type that I have found. Any suggestions on good discussion boards for php related discussion of security issues?

  18. Re:Mirrors on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where I can get this update without the installer? Just a zip file would do me nicely. Or has firefox come to require registry entries in order to run properly?

    Where the stairs have gone and so have the lights. It may be a tight squeeze to fit all those Senators in a locked filing cabinet though.

  20. Re:Will it run on linux? on Apple Quietly Releases iTunes 4.8 · · Score: 1

    Yep already use it under Crossover Office but the CD burining doesn't work. Not that it's really that big a deal but it would be nice if Apple started taking Linux platforms more seriously. I mean both Apple and the various linux (linuxii?) out there have a common goal. The way they go about it now they are treating Windows as a superior OS to Linux.
