  1. i know how on How Apple's Mail.app Junk Filter Works · · Score: 5, Funny

    it's simple. it uses it's extremely uninsipired app name to scare away spam.

  2. good cook, eh? on Secure Architectures with OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    (Jose is also an occasional Slashdot book reviewer, and a good cook.)

    timothy knows, she made him breakfast on many occasions. ;)

  3. that's IT?! on 526 Years On, Da Vinci's Clockwork Car Constructed · · Score: 1

    is that seriously all they had to go on? because that would really be one helluva job if they did.

    oh waih, i should probably RTFA properly and look at it in the mirror first...yup... still nothing.

    god damn.

  4. Re:Simple on Our Man In Black · · Score: 2, Funny

    well i guess, but if he really wants to be same he had better watch this one too.

  5. get real on Russian Group Plans Manned Mars Mission By 2011 · · Score: 0, Troll

    you are going to need at least a zippo and a top hat as well.

  6. News with a Geek Slant? no, Conservative Slant! on Scotts Testing Genetically Modified Grass · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Environmentalists have long opposed bioengineered crops of any kind, and fear that '...if it was to escape onto public land, we wouldn't know how to control it.'

    It's a good thing we aren't trying to make those nutty eviromentalists look sane, or compasionate about the world we live in.. I'd be cool if people didn't just assume they knew how our entire ecosystem works, and thought they knew whats best for it.

  7. re: this is the big deal on Suicide Caught on Surveillance Tape Appears Online · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The big deal isn't so much that someone killed themselves and has it on tape, this happens all the time. It's the fact that police officers recieve no privacy training, meaning your shit, much of which they have access, or can get access to, is no longer safe once they have it.

  8. Re:And the username/password pair is... on Cisco Products Have Backdoors · · Score: 1

    no, you idiot, the password is clearly SEX. that, or GOD. have you even seen HACKERS?

  9. Re:who cares? on Scuba-Doo Underwater Scooter · · Score: 0, Troll

    the real story here is how michael still manages to maintain a job at slashdot.

  10. Re:Start of Obligatory Meme's. on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 1

  11. Why bother? on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 1

    isn't it dying? *ducks*

  12. Don't be so sure on New Tool Cracks Apple's FairPlay DRM · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but how sure are you of this? I mean, if Fairplay is being used to allow iTMS songs to by played on other devices, wouldn't it fall under Sect. 1201 (f) Reverse Engineering exception of the DMCA? (interoperable software)

  13. Re:IBM also says Screw you to intel on A History of PowerPC · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    hah, your story go rejected too eh?

    It really is cool stuff though, The new POWER 5s, although i have no idea how they work, are said to allow virtual microprocessors to allow you to run multiple OSes at once. That could make for some pretty usefull linux apps/distros for windows technician (think repairing viruses and stuff)

  14. Re:Thanks to Napster/Kazaa on IFPI 'First Wave' Sues 247 In Europe & Canada · · Score: 1

    Thanks to Napster/Kazaa, I purchase more CDs

    I feel the same way, in fact i would go as far to say that Shawn Fanning and Napster saved my life. You see, I was just a very young impressionable teenager when Napster first came out. If it weren't for the huge variety of music i was given access to early in my life, i might have just become another 50-cent-pumpin', britney-spears-oggling drone. Now I instead listen to a huge selection of old school rap, punk, emo, emocore, hardcore, classical, classic rock, electronica, you name it, and my lif has been tottaly changed by it. I buy way more CDs than I used to, but most of them come directly from the bands, as i usually buy them at shows/events, instead of the money going straight into the pockets of the RIAA/CIRA/etc(wherever i happen to be).

    but then again, maybe thats exactly what the RIAA et al doesn't want, and they would rather i be a pop-music-cd-buying-whore. Better get out the tinfoil hats....

  15. Sure, It's Fast.... on NASA Tests X-43A · · Score: 1

    But can it run Doom III? Yeah, i didn't think so.

  16. Re:Watch the hit counter spin on Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ahead is atomic plant.
    Huge is bandwidth bill.
    Sad am I.

  17. Re:What would Apple have to gain... on BusinessWeek on Opening Apple's iTunes DRM · · Score: 1

    I'd have to agree. does anyone realize how little 1Cent/song is? of all songs sold on the apple store, it would still be less than 50k. not that much to big companies like Apple.

  18. Rexx is good... on Rexx Is Still Strong After 25 years · · Score: 4, Funny

    but it's no FORTRAN.
