  1. O'neill on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you have the tech and money to build something like an O'Neill structure, you don't need to leave the solar system for thousands of years...

  2. So what? on Mozilla Raking in Millions? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I really don't understand the question here. Is he implying that Mozilla pockets the money? Or do they want to audit the profits? Just because an Open Source company is making money pundits start to ponder what will the money be used for?

    They get the money from the search bar from gogle. Users benefit, google benefits, Mozilla benefits. Profits go to development of their current and future products. Want to know more? Why not contact them directly?

  3. Strong security on FBI Says Computer Crime Costs Billions Every Year · · Score: 1

    Just like anything else, data networks need to be protected. Where all the money and private information transits nowadays? Yeah, via public networks. If a company doesn't have a strong data security team in these days, they are falling behind times, and no one, individual or corporation, will want to make business with them.

  4. In US on Mac Install-Base Shown to Be 16% · · Score: 0, Troll

    That figure is for the US. There is a world outside US, and macs are not commom at all...

  5. Re:Tv-out on Integrated Graphics from NVIDIA Back In Style · · Score: 1

    Yes, what's the point of having IGP if you don't have tv-out for a media center?

  6. It is always the same on India's Digital Village · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have given up reading cooments in articles about India. When it is not an Indian zealot saying how great India is for all the things they are doing or are going to do, it is the guy who bashes India for some particular reason. Slashdot should slow down with these articles until the freaks cool down....

  7. Re:Nice In-Place Ad on Intel's Pentium 4 3.4GHz Processors Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Yes I agree with you, but at least they said that Corsair provided them with RAM, giving everyone a hint on why their preference, not faking results as some sites usually do.

  8. Live??? on FreeBSD Based Live CDs · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    and I thought taht BSD was dead...

  9. They all do that. on Stallman Goes to India · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Interestingly, the article mentions that the President had prepared for the meeting by downloading and reading Stallman's biography (Free as in Freedom) from the Internet."

    HOw is that interesting? In case you don't know, every politician does that or is prepared by advisors before plunging into any meeting. Or is that interesting because he usually does not do that? Maybe he needs someone like Condoleezza Rice to chew and spit the stuff to him, so he can better use his time....

  10. Is it really true? on Israeli Super Drone Stolen · · Score: 1

    There is something really strange in this story. Why should a secret project prototype disappear and on top of that, despite secrecy, the company tells everybody that it was stolen?
    Looks more like : "Okay, we can't meet the deadline. What should we do?" or "We need some propaganda about our company"...

  11. Will.. on IBM and Its Thoughts on Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    ..IBM put its money where its mouth is?

  12. Drivers on New Graphics Company, With Working Cards · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The most difficult thing is to release good drivers. Until then, I will wait to see how they really perform.

  13. Other topics for discussion on The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed · · Score: 1

    What about: the surprising benefits of being dead?

  14. No reason to worry on Electricity Apocalypse Soon? · · Score: 1

    These blackouts were a series of coincidences. There is no need to worry; actually this is a good opportunity for those who want to invest in the energy sector. Enron anyone?

  15. Re:So what? on India Chooses All-Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Sorry to disappoint you pal, but only 7.5% of Brazil's economy comes from agriculture. You can check it by yourself: http://www.receita.fazenda.gov.br/Principal/Ingles /SistemaTributarioBR/BrazilianTaxSystem/basicaspec ts.htm Besides, Brazil is in a better economical position than India: http://www.cafod.org.uk/policy/richest200.shtml And we have lots to spare and a lot of room to grow, since we are a huge country, and have huge reserves of everything. And I'm not counting the other countries in LA (Oh, yeah, We don't hate each other over here...forgot that...sorry!) . What about India... Wanna buy some food? IT capital o f the World? Why not? Put that 1B people to code for us, boy... ;)

  16. Re:So what? on India Chooses All-Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Oh, I also forgot to say, Slashdot is infested with Indians... Got Milk, Kid?

  17. So what? on India Chooses All-Electronic Voting · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sometimes I don't know what the hell happens in Slashdot: Indians just LOVE to say: "In India we have this, while in US you don't, suckers!" or something the like...Sleeeeshh..... Just one side note: I'm Brazilian, and in Brazil we have had electronic vote for a long time. So, don't run and claim that Indian crap...I'm sick of this shit.

  18. Bye bye SCO! on IBM Doesn't Comply With SCO's Deadline · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, this is really the dead line for SCO..

    SCO managed to dig its own grave...

  19. Portuguese, please on Brazil Mandates Shift to Free Software · · Score: 5, Informative

    'Chamber for the Implementation of Software Libre.'" Libre = Spanish Livre = Portuguese Portuguese, not spanish, is the spoken language in Brazil...

  20. confidential? on The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I present to you an urgent and confidential request" Confidential here in Slashdot?

  21. And he is buying... on Ballmer Sells Part of his Stake in Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    SCO's!

  22. I see them... on Build Your Own ECG · · Score: 2, Funny

    From the article:
    "but don't come crying to me if you find yourself dead."

    You also see dead people?
