  1. Re:Another use for php... on Why Are SSL Certificates So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Easily, just get a web programming job with any up to date company, they should exchange that code for money.

  2. Re:Hmmm... on Illegal Prime Number Unzips to DeCSS · · Score: 1

    So what? Any tiny character difference is going to result in a different subset of primes that can be reduced to the original source code.

  3. Re:Primes aren't countable on Illegal Prime Number Unzips to DeCSS · · Score: 1

    Well it should be noted that 31337 is prime, but its not illegal, yet.

  4. Re:RTFA on Busting Microsoft's Patent On Web-Polls? · · Score: 1

    Exactly, just make a poll system exactly to the specification described, but add a 4th table to store the phase od the moon when the last vote was submitted and you are no longer in violation of the patent.

  5. Re:I wonder... on Two Telescopes Linked To Find Planets · · Score: 1

    Its reuquirements like this that make such things happen! When Kennedy announced that man was going to the moon by the end of the decade they didn't know if it really even possible. Almost ten years later after a lot of hard work and research by a great many people they worked out how, and they did it. Give people a challenge and a timelimit, and even better someone to compete against and they WILL find a way.

  6. Re:Heh, it's a weapon alright... on Drilling For Oil With Megawatt Lasers · · Score: 1

    Oh my god, they shot the top-hat monopoly piece! Those bastards!

    I'd pay to watch The Sims Host a LAN Party. One of the Sims storys we can all appreciate.

  8. Re:Nothing to fear, except fear itself on Even More Surveillance Cameras For England · · Score: 1

    Or how about instead of mounting them on poles in the street they were carried by a policeman on foot and as you walked down the street there he was pointing it in your face.

    You haven't seen COPS, or LAPD have you?

  9. Re:Which would you prefer: Cameras or Guns? on Even More Surveillance Cameras For England · · Score: 3

    I'd prefer both, guns with cameras, like the sentry guns from Aliens.

  10. Re:Ownership on Descrambling CSS w/ 7 Lines Of Perl A DMCA Violation? · · Score: 1

    So you wouldn't be able to open a DVD gallery featuring first run DVDs sitting in display cases and charging admission for people to come in and look at then?

  11. Re:Sealand's History on Napster Going Offshore? · · Score: 1

    No, that was some German businessman who was making a mint selling many more fake Sealand passports than there are real ones that actually exist..

  12. Re:Best reason not to: time travel SUCKS! on New Star Trek Series Rumblings · · Score: 2

    Two words: Doctor Who

  13. Re:I try not to think about it much... on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1

    Why do satellites require a round earth anyway? I'm sure they could orbit a flat 5 sided planet jsut as well, its jsut the orbit woould be somewhat less circular...

  14. Re:Why bother... on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1

    I've never met you though, for all we know you are just another creation of the same government that launches tinfoil rockets...

  15. Re:Time for a meta-patent? on Suing Over... Fans? · · Score: 1

    Good idea, unfortunantly theres already a lot of prior art for that under a lot of previous slashdot articles...

  16. Goddam Spoilers! on Complete Transformers Generation One Set on ebay · · Score: 1

    Damnit, can't you people post these thing without putting a spoiler warning before them! ;-[

  17. Re:MAC filters on Why iptables (Linux 2.4 Firewalling) Rocks · · Score: 1

    And then field all the 'my network isn't working' call from people whose machines happened to be off at that the time you pulled the 'unused' connections.

  18. Re:Why it really rocks! on Why iptables (Linux 2.4 Firewalling) Rocks · · Score: 1

    Well I never have, seems the trolls have moderator access today and dont want people to be able to block goatse.cx and have brought it back down to +3... ;[

  19. What about depleted uranium? on NASA To Shoot Comet With Copper Projectile · · Score: 2

    See what happens, we have these health issues after the Balkans from using depleted uranium there. Now even NASA is being limiting to less effective projectiles, i'm sure they could do a lot more damage than that if they were allowed to use some real firepower. Show those commie comets a thing or two.

  20. Re:first on Is There Anybody Out There? · · Score: 1

    I am somewhat forced to agree, considering the difficulty finding intelligent life on just this planet...

  21. Re:Needs A Proofread... on Cryptome Posts Just-Released Tempest Documents · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Illegal on Back-Ordering Domain Names · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah we really need that dont we, it would be a domain squatters heaven. Imagine being able to claim any number of domain names without using them and not having to renew every couple of years in case someone want to buy it off you.. Every single possible domain combination in the .com heirachy would be taken within a couple of years and NEVER released, except when forced off by legal action.

    Heres my ruling: he's just trolling, ignore him.

  25. Re:Shall We Begin? on Cornell Nanohelicopters Achieve 8rps · · Score: 2

    Yes I can see it now, swarms of nano-helicopters flying off to attack the insurgent mosquito populations amid strains of Wagnor's Ride Of The Valkeries...

    I love the smell of Raid(tm) in the morning.
    One time we had a hill gassed for 12 hours. I walked up it when it was all over; we didn't find one of 'em ... not one stinking mozzie corpse. They slipped out in the night -- but the smell -- that chemical smell -- the whole hill -- it smelled like ...
