  1. Re:Other possible prizes: on LiveJournal XSS Security Challenge · · Score: 0, Informative

    You are not supposed to hack away on http://www.livejournal.com/

    They provide a sandbox: http://www.test.dev.livejournal.org/

  2. Re:Exploiting Google's Page Rank on Poor Spelling Beats Google's China Filter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is only for you people http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=of f&as_qdr=all&q=failure&btnG=Search&meta=

    Here, in India, it's still Bush http://www.google.co.in/search?num=100&hl=en&safe= off&as_qdr=all&q=failure&btnG=Search&meta=

    Google has never before given me different search results for google.co.in and google.com

    This is the first time I'm seeing different results for these two domains.

  3. He doesn't work as a Wall Street Programmer... on Interview with Joshua Schachter of del.icio.us · · Score: -1

    ...anymore. He gave up his day-job for del.icio.us quite some time ago.

  4. Re:I don't know about that... on How to Do What You Love · · Score: -1

    Does Paul Graham ever have any bad news? Seriously.

  5. Fuck Panspermia! on Raining Extraterrestrial Microbes in Kerala? · · Score: -1

    Red rain in Commuinst Kerala! This is the Flying Spaghetti Monster being poetic.

  6. Re:The Most Dangerous Idea of All on Share Your Most Dangerous Idea · · Score: -1

    I said it before and I'll say it again. A significant thrust to the emergence of religion was our need to accomodate the fact that we were killing other animals, yet had to restrict the members of our society from doing the same to each other.

  7. Re:What gives? on Is This Rembrandt a Real One? · · Score: -1

    He also said that /. doesn't track who is submitting what and doesn't care about a submitter's positive or negative track record because it would be hard to keep track of such things.

    I call bullshit. It would be hard to keep track of a submitter's positive or negative track record yet they have the resources to systematically mod down all comments complaining about it?

  8. Re:WTF? on Mice Created With Human Brain Cells · · Score: -1

    Mice are smarter than dolphins

  9. Re:No Surprise on 50% of HDTV Owners Don't Use HD · · Score: -1

    'Average' doesn't automatically mean 'arithmetic mean'. The OP could have also have been refering to the median in which case his or her statement is correct.

  10. Re:Oil on Cybercrime More Lucrative Than Drugs · · Score: -1

    And I was so sure the OP was talking about America's terrorist activities around the world. *sigh*

  11. Re:A monopoly is a monopoly on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: -1

    I'm interested in your 'pat factor'

  12. Re:ugh... on How Would You Improve SQL? · · Score: -1

    It's the way it is because SQL was supposed to be 4GL.
    They imagined PHBs entering queries into an RDBMS client.

  13. Re:Old people are just as stupid. on Tech Geezers vs. Young Bloods · · Score: -1

    Arithmetic mean. Median. They're both different "averages".

  14. Re:Logical error? on FBI Agents Put New Focus on Deviant Porn · · Score: -1

    Wait a few years. They're going to decide you aren't allowed to DO it. One step at a time.

  16. Re:Now on Korea Post Office Supports XPCOM Based E-Banking · · Score: -1

    This is no worse than saying that they should drop support for Safari because it's so sparsely used.

    You mean "no better".

  17. Dupe on Trusted Computing And You · · Score: -1, Redundant
  18. Re:Sri Lanka? on Sri Lanka Declares an Open Source Week · · Score: -1

    There's a movement?

  19. Re:what's that word again? on Adult Site Sues Google, Google Compared To MS Again · · Score: -1

    Er...who exactly is being exploited by the Porn industry?

  20. Re:Clusty on Google Techs, Webmasters Mingle · · Score: -1

    I guess it's doing it only for queries that might be movies. I'm still not sure though.

    About why I'm at -1....that was my 'Starting Score'. Karma terrible here :)

  21. Re:Clusty on Google Techs, Webmasters Mingle · · Score: -1

    Coincidentally, I just discovered this. I queried Google for 'Sarkar' (which is an Indian name and also the name of an Indian movie) and I got clustered results.

    http://www.google.com/search?q=sarkar

  22. Re:Bad Article on Did Microsoft Invent The iPod? · · Score: -1

    Yeah, but Slashdot is huge already. And accepting submissions like this will have a detrimental effect over the long-term.

  23. Re:Hint hint on Wikipedia Announces Tighter Editorial Control · · Score: -1
  24. Re:I was sceptical on Yahoo! Launches Audio Search Beta · · Score: -1

    So it _does_ have lyrics search and the summary is wrong.

  25. Re:Don't tax porn, tax the churches... on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: -1

    "BUT, if you take away the separation of Church & State vis-a-vis, begin taxing Churches"

    This is what I'e never understood. If the Church and State were truly separate, shouldn't the State treat the Church like any other business?
