  1. Interesting on Nicholas Petreley Slams Gnome · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'll probably get moderated down for this, but I don't really prefer either Gnome or KDE, however the fact that both exist and compete for resources is in my mind one of the main causes behind the failure of Linux on the desktop. Hopefully this will drive a nail into one of their coffins.

  2. I can tell you what he'll say on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    By removing RedHat's copyrights from the product, you will be using a copyright circumvention device, and RedHat will have you prosecuted under the DMCA. They don't want to have to go there, but if you do this they will.

  3. That doesn't make any sense. on Saruman Completely Cut from 'Return of the King' · · Score: 1

    But this is a crucial plot element. Wormtounge throws the eye out of the tower, where it is recovered and then Frodo looks into it and the eye consumes him... how will we see this showdown now? And anyway since Saruman is the son of Faramir I think that Faramir's dissapointment won't be as telling.

  4. Oh I'm SO SURE. on The Case for the Moon · · Score: 1

    This charade has gone on long enough. No one's going into the void to pick up "golf balls" from "the moon", unless of course they're authorized by the government to do so.

    It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)

    Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.

    Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!

    Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.

  5. Do me a favor on Universal Music To Cut CD Prices · · Score: 1

    Visit harlem wearing a sign that says "Nigger does not mean black".

    Thanks!

  6. Couldn't agree more on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 0, Troll

    You mess with the top cowboy, you're bound to get burned. I wouldn't mess with Fyodor for love or money. I nearly died laughing when I saw him hack that silly troll.

    This is a tempest in a teapot. I think everyone who knows Fyodor already knows he breaks into boxes all day long, and respecting the "law" in the US means accepting the DMCA - what a joke.

    If you don't want Fyodor to hack you, use a firewall. Duh.

  7. I think you meant big-time black-hat scum. on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 1

    You can say what you want about Fyodor, but there's no way you can call him "small-time". When I saw him hack that guy's computer I thought "oh my god, this kid is doomed".

    Fyodor's tool is as old as modern network security itself. He's a pillar of the security community, he's at defcon every year, he's presented at Blackhat, he's down with w00w00 and l0pht. This guy is a legend, and some random poster on Slashdot isn't going to diminish his rep one iota.

    Specially since he hacked you guys once (-:

  8. Worship the software, not the coder on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 1

    Nmap is still a great tool, and as long as Fyodor manages to keep himself out of jail, it will continue to be. I mean, if you can hack a Slashdot troll with it, it's got to be good!

  9. Re:Slashdot News Flash: Fyodor is a black-hat on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 0, Troll

    Who said hacking a troll's computer is evil? Certainly not Fyodor!

    Hack em all, I say!

  10. Hahaha, stupid trolls! on Fyodor Answers Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 1

    I still have a copy of this lying around, funniest thing I ever saw!

    Note to Slashdot readers: Fyodor is on the prowl! You want to post http://goatse.cx (DO NOT CLICK) gross-out links to Slashdot? Fyodor is our head of security and if you fuck with us he's gonna hack your machine and delete your fucking hard drive.

    That should teach you little fuckers some manners!

  11. BS on Use a Honeypot, Go to Prison? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot did not sponsor Fyodor's breakin. He did that on his own.

  12. Re:It was not a sample. on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Are you truly so incompetent that you cannot perform a simple Internet search? Do people this incompetent actually exist? It's shocking to me, I am sorry. Here you are:

  13. Re:This will get reversed. on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1
    I mean all the music which can be made with copyright has been made.
    Your statement is false in every imaginable sense of the word. A billion billions of songs are yet to be written. Take a look at the number of possible bit permutations in a 3-minute mp3 file. That number is almost as vast as the number of atoms in the Universe. If you can get your head around that number, your mind is capable of far greater leaps of imagination than mine.
  14. Re:Still Dre on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    How in God's name do you have any clue about the financial arrangment between these two musical figures? Did you ever for a moment consider that they work for the same recording label and are paid by the same people?

  15. Well actually on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    A sample is by definition a highly limited excerpt of the original work. Highly limited excerpts are traditionally granted immunity under the guise of "Fair Use". For instance, I could not print the entire script for the new Matrix movie, but I can give away one line spoken by Neo. That line is "whoa".

    Your commment is the product of a fantastically stupid mind.

  16. Re:This supports the RIAA on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 1

    Can you back this up? Do you have any evidence that Apple is not selling any content which is not owned by the actual musician? Are you entirely sure that the license agreements signed by every musician whose tracks are sold by Apple forbids them from profiting from Internet royalties? Have you read the text of the deal Apple has with the record companies to license the music they're selling?

    Can you prove any of your unchecked, unique assertions?

  17. Wouldn't be the first time. on Microsoft Sued for Defective Software · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Google: AARD:

    A Serious Message and the Code That Produced It.

    Microsoft included a bug in the Win 3.1 Beta that caused Dr. DOS users to crash.

    Unsurprisingly the makers of Dr. DOS lost their jobs, like many other victims of malicious code.

  18. Re:The internet defined me on Childhood Memories Ruined by the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Please go outside and play.

    There may still be time to save you.

    In order to achieve balance, however, you must make up for a childhood wasted on the Internet. You must divorce yourself from the computer altogether. Go outside, run, swim, bike, BE FREE!

    Turn off your computer and never look back, HanzoSan!

  19. Re:Ok, WineX Lovers on WineX 3.0 Examined · · Score: 1

    Yes, people consistently ignore this. Take Microsoft. They believe that their larger userbase isn't what makes their sales larger, rather they believe their large sales figures are tied to minesweeper.

    Idiot.

  20. Take the first step. on RIAA Chats With Song Swappers · · Score: 1

    Help combat monopolies at home by boycotting them. Start with the power monopoly. Unplug your computer immediately and stop using that monopolistic swine electricity.

  21. What? on RIAA Chats With Song Swappers · · Score: 1

    Monopolies are not illegal. Your power company has a monopoly on selling you power. Monopoly abuse is illegal. Therefore if a copyright is used by a monopoly to help defend its monopoly which it is not abusing then copyright is being used as it was intended. For instance, if Pepco Power sues "Pepco Power Pills" for copyright infringement, they've got a legitimate case.

    Please stop your ignorant, facile babbling and go to school or something.

  22. Hanzosan, you are so right. on RIAA Chats With Song Swappers · · Score: 1

    Also the Jews should have given up during the Holocaust, because it is useless to fight technology and progress. Why slow down innovations in mass murder like Zyklon-B and gigantic people-eating furnaces? I thought the whole point is to promote progress?

    You barbaric buffoon! Not all technological progress is good. Ask the victims of DDT! Interview a thalidomide baby! There are good arguments against the RIAA, but yours is not among their number.

  23. No. on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 2, Funny
    " music only lasts alittle while, once you hear it a few times it dies."

    Rock and Roll will never die. A digital recording is forever. I still listen to music that is over ten or twenty years old because I can come back to it and it rocks out. For instance, Led Zepplin III is still a great way to get laid.

    Your problem is that you're listening to the Backstreet Boys. Stop that.
  24. What? No legal threats? on Interview With The FreeBSD Core Team · · Score: 5, Funny
    "Finally, the FreeBSD core team has not been contacted by SCO representives directly."
    What? No pompous, threatening letters from SCO group? I've always thought that "BSD is dying" was just a huge troll, but if you're not even noteworthy enough to get unjustly harassed by SCO group, you're doing something wrong!
