  1. Re:The advantages on UK anti-ID card campaign Gains Momentum · · Score: 2, Insightful
    You believe that ID cards will solve all your problems. No, they won't:

    The lack of ID cards is not the main cause of the administration inefficiency.

    Countries with National ID cards have censuses, too.

    That kind of information flow can be done with your tax ID.

    Credit card fraud can easily be done in countries that have ID cards.

  2. Re:mentality... on Europe Is Falling Behind On Open Source · · Score: 0

    Actually, Linus is a Finland Swede. (from the Swedish minority in Finland)

  3. Re:The headline is wrong on Extinct Wildflower Found In California · · Score: 3, Funny

    That would be real-life slashdotting

  4. Microsoft jokes on MS Invites Security Questions · · Score: 1

    Maybe this would generate a whole new set of jokes similar to the Radio Yerevan jokes. Now, please complete this template with your jokes: The Microsoft Experts were asked: "<Is it true that...>" The Microsoft Experts answers: "<In principle yes, but...>"

  5. Re:Support? on IBM Backs Firefox In-House · · Score: 1

    You know, IBM has a department that "repairs" the IBM employees' computers and from what I saw there, the major problem was obviously spyware and worms. There was a woman that had on her laptop a few dosen spyware and worms. It appears it took a couple hours to clean it with more than one anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. I assume that IBM thinks it's much cheaper to prevent such cases.

  6. Re:Hmmmm... on IBM to Lose 13,000 Jobs · · Score: 1

    The guys fired were obviously not among the best people IBM has, but people that they didn't need: telephone sanitizers, beaurocrats etc.

    I don't know whether Microsoft needs them.

  7. Re:37Mb??!?!?! on Adobe Releases Acrobat Client for Linux · · Score: 1

    That's small. The installed windows version is 97 MB. :-)

  8. TEN MONTHS on Microsoft Drops Blaster Author's Fine · · Score: 1

    Apparently it's 10 months, but there was an error that got perpetuated.

  9. Re: How this impacts ME on Plants May Be Able To Correct Mutated Genes · · Score: 1
    I'm an extremely hip, brilliant jerk with a great sense of humor.

    ... and modest too!

  10. Three comments and all about porn! on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 1

    Three comments and all about porn. What's wrong with you, slashdot people ?

  11. Porn collection on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How long will it be before someone uploads his porn collection?

  12. spray-painting robot on Autonomous Robot Finds Life in Atacama Desert · · Score: 1

    Building spray-painting robot ?
    That must be Will Smith !

  13. Re:Why is this news? on No Secret Plan at Google? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You don't know what is the latest Slashdot motto ?

    Flame-bait for trolls.

  14. Re:There could be on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is covered by GFDL, so every derivative must be also covered by GFDL.

    This is not true about IMDB.

  15. I had a dream...! on Public Park Designated Copyrighted Space · · Score: 1

    I once had a dream in which I tried to photograph a natural landscape and my camera had an error: "ERROR: This landscape is copyrighted by Microsoft Corporation". I thought it was absurd.

    Now I know someday may be true. :-(

  16. MOD PARENT DOWN!! on University Of Calgary To Offer Course On Spam · · Score: 1

    It appears he doesn't even understand what the word "Socialist" means.

  17. Re:Go Standards! on MSN Search - From A UI Perspective · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, the thing generated by Frontpage is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike HTML.

  18. The algorithm is flawd -- prone to search spam on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 1
    If I search "Romania", there are three sponsored results, and then, the first link from the real results is "Romania car rental", then "Call Centers in Romania", then "Apartments for rent" and a couple more.

    In all, four out of the first ten results are actual good results, the rest is commercial spam, which simply contain lots of times the word "Romania".

    If you search "Romania" on google, you get the CIA country profile, Romanian Embassy site, tourism guides, official pages, etc. Ten out of the first ten results are good results.

  19. Re:Mod parent up on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 1

    Actually, it was used before that

    "And are you not," said Fook leaning anxiously forward, "a greater analyst than the Googleplex Star Thinker in the Seventh Galaxy of Light and Ingenuity which can calculate the trajectory of every single dust particle throughout a five-week Dangrabad Beta sand blizzard?"

  20. Goalpost on Bill Gates Handwriting Analyzed · · Score: 1

    We can clearly see a goalpost in the doodle... Makes me think if it wasn't Blair after all.

    Just as telling someone where to buy drugs, illigal firewarms
    I once downloaded from DC++ a list of location where drug dealers could be found in my city. It looked like it was made by the police for internal use. I expect that someone from the police shared the "my documents" folder. :-)
