  1. Clearly, MIT has it's priorities. on MelbourneIT Lapse Permitted Panix Hijack · · Score: 5, Funny
    Panix CEO Alex Rosen said. "I didn't find useful 24-hour NOC-type info anywhere. MIT apparently has no weekend support at all; I finally located their CEO's cellphone in an investor-relations web page."

    Clearly, MIT has it's priorities.

  2. Re:Quincy!?! on Forensic Discovery · · Score: 1

    I remember Quincy quite well, and I'm only 42 (and I like my red sports car very well, thank you). I mean come on, tell me everyone here is older than 15!

  3. Oh come on! on CVS Server Administration Tips? · · Score: 1

    Cut the guy some slack! Sure he can Google! But he's looking for nuggets of wisdom from all you experienced developer guys! Or perhaps you don't have any knowledge about this? Than maybe shut up.

  4. Sad... on .net Domain Up For Grabs · · Score: 1

    It's sad to say, but VariSign might just be a cut above the two other fly-by-night operations...

  5. It's About Data Mining... on Google's Dark Fibre Plans? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Or maybe after grabbing a significant amount of backbone, they will sniff it, and start attaching targeted advertising to each packet... But seriously, they could acquire quite a bit of data by mining the traffic on a backbone.

  6. Re:Teach him a lesson... on One Last Campout for Star Wars Fans · · Score: 1

    How about instead, we all go to Fandango and buy up all the tickets for opening day!

    Sure. Right. Perhaps in the Holodeck in his mind...

  9. Re:In Theory.. on BayTSP Provides Automatic DMCA Notices · · Score: 1
    Rather than go after movie/music/software BTers by hand, they'll invent some kind of automated webspider to go through every website looking for torrent links.

    Like Google?

    Google hacks.

  10. Top Quality! on BayTSP Provides Automatic DMCA Notices · · Score: 1
    So, in other word, the new legal environment (the DMCA) is attracting more and more profiteers and schemers...

    Yes but BayTSP is the grand-daddy of the profiteers, having been around since the heady days of the original Napster...

    On a different note, BayTSP is looking for top quality college grads for "Internet Analyst" positions. Pay? $12 / hour. Yup, top quality! And that will sure support my ass in Los Gatos, where BayTSP has it's operation...

  11. Re:Yeah, but... on We Pay Our Rent By Buying Coffee · · Score: 1
    How much coffee will they have to buy to pay for the bandwidth bill?

    I suspect that after the Wired stroy, the coffee shop may just start thinking about that.

    Exactly.

  15. Re:Uninstall Problem? on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1
    The Firefox site and Firefox installer advise you to remove any previous versions before installing the current one.

    Maybe that should be an option that the FF 1.0 installer gives the user, hmmm?

  16. The fly in the ointment: Games on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    This is what a lot of people don't understand or wish to face: in many many enterprise level companies today, there are applications that they are locked into or that have no alternatives that use IE as an app framework. So while FOSS advocates work on Linux video drivers so game companies will port the latest whatever game to Linux, what we really need is FOSS enterprise level business applications.

  17. I don't know... on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    I've got 6 FF browsers open with 2 and 3 tabs each. 54MB.

    The first time I read your post, I thought it was an overused joke that was lame to begain with.

    Oh wait...

  20. (l)users??? Perhaps that is you. on Spammers' Upend DNS · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I think it's really sad to refer to Users as Losers. It's very disrespectful and ignores that fact that just because you have to use a computer does not mean that you should have to be a computer professional and monitor Slashdot 24/7.
