  1. Re:My take on nuclear missile defence. on Interceptor Missile Fails Test Launch · · Score: 1

    So then if the missile is headed for Toronto, and intercepted, would it then fall on Washington? Sweet karma for Canada? Disclaimer: I'm USian.

  2. Only on Slashdot.. on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    will you find men willing to admit they believe a woman would sooner have sex with a pony for a million dollars, than the guy himself.

  3. Obligatory on Thunderbird 1.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    Welcome to Slashdot, Mitchell!

  4. Re:Plus there was a built-in governor on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1

    Oh, I thought the collective US blamed Canada for that...

    Hey, your UID isn't even 10% of kschoenwandt (836493). What could you possibly know?

    they managed to patch this four years before microsoft? and microsoft knew they were using the same IJG codebase?

  9. Web Economy Bullshit Generator on Is "Marketingspeak" Killing Technology? · · Score: 1

    They simply need to enable efficient e-markets while cultivating proactive solutions. Surely that would help to aggregate frictionless technologies. First match on Google for 'bullshit'.

  10. Re:Chemical rubber? on Modding Game Controllers For Greater Grip · · Score: 2, Informative

    Organic rubber, aka natural rubber. I even heard they have trees.

  11. New trend on Microsoft Will Try Out Blog Service In Japan · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I predicted before this would become a new trend. American companies will start launching "high-tech" startups in companies like Japan first, to see how they are received, before trying them on the American market. The general public seems to be more receptive to technology in some European and Asian markets, as evidenced by their wide use of wireless and mobile technologies.

    It will be interesting to see how this affects the way we do business.

    So is that photo on the front page there to explain the cause of his death?

  15. Re:Probably some truth to that. on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 4, Funny

    7-digit VIN and 4-digit UID. You ARE oldschool.

  16. Re:As a former UPS Employee... on UPS - Your Computer Repair Depot? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And UPS won't insure *anything* for 20k, which would be your first hint that they're not capable of handling such valuables. This does suck, and so does UPS from my experience, but due diligence wasn't done.

  17. Re:Yipee!!!!! on Las Vegas Monorail Finally Ready To Open · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, they should Open Source this POS

    Agreed. If this was OSS, we could all test this on our own Monorail test beds we have at home!

  21. Advisory on Windows Users Fear Korgo Virus · · Score: 5, Informative

    Symantec's Advisory. Listens on TCP ports 113, 2041, and 3067. 113 is identd, 2041 is interbase, 3067 seems invented. Firewall as appropriate.

  22. Re:Dear God... on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 1

    A lot of us live in urban areas. I'm not travelling more than a block to buy a Pepsi. If they wanted this promotion to work, they should have distributed it properly.

  23. Re:I searched on Google... on AXA sues Google over AdWords · · Score: 1

    You give Google the text for your AdWords ad just like you would give for a classified ad in a newspaper. You have 3 lines- 1 for title (25 chars), 2 for copy (35 chars each). You can type "anything you want" in these boxes. Ads go live right when you run them, but if it violates AdWords ToS it'll be disapproved once it's reviewed by the AdWords team. This may answer some of your questions.

    don't kid yourself, we all just post without rtfa anyways.

  25. Re:POP? -- Mod parent up on Google's Sergey Brin Talks on Gmail's Future · · Score: 1

    The other people who replied to this didn't understand what the parent meant. It wasn't phrased very legibly, imo. I'll bite:

    He is suggesting that you would provide Google with your username and password to a third party POP account (such as one provided by your ISP), and Google would download that mail INTO the Gmail interface. This would eliminate the need for email client software on the PC. I much like this idea. If they could shift a significant portion of the general email populous away from Outlook and Outlook Express, think of the reduction in worm/virii propagation.
