  1. Re:Won't help on First Destructive Mobile Phone Virus In The Wild · · Score: 1

    Well, your Linux box certainly isn't going to get infected. Sure, there may be more network traffic, but at least no damage will be done.

  2. Re:How to change your pirated XP key on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 2, Informative

    SP2 still blocks the keys that SP1 blocked, for the few people still using those keys.

  3. Re:Don't bother with the screenshots on Mandrakesoft Releases 10.1 Beta1 · · Score: 1

    The user survey was in 10.0 Community... although it may only run on new installations, I'm not sure.

  4. Re:Out of my price range anyhow... on Google IPO Problems Surface · · Score: 2, Informative

    Which stock is more likely to grow 10%? The one that would have to increase by $13 a share, or the one that would only have to increase by $1.30?

  5. But... on Sony's $700 Linux-based Remote Control · · Score: 1, Funny

    does it run Linux? Oh wait...

    Starbucks is better than White Castle.

  7. Re:Shouldn't that be easy to fix? on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 1

    It gives me a Forbidden error when I try to search for any @gmail.com address, but it allows @yahoo.com address searches... interesting.

  8. Re:Whats the big deal? on More on the Jackito Tactile PDA · · Score: 1

    Next time you RTFA article, remember how you put your PIN number into the ATM machine. "Department of Redundancy Department, how many I help you?"

  9. Re:the interesting thing on Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware · · Score: 1

    Firefox 0.9.2 has been released with this fix, however, their webpage doesn't seem to make that very clear.

  10. Blackcomb? on Unix To Beef Up Longhorn · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if they actually meant to say that SFU will run on Blackcomb, which is the codename for the next Windows *server* operating system (yes, "server OS" is specified in the article). This has often been targeted with a 2008 release and would make much more sense than it being included on Longhorn, which is supposedly on track for a 2006 release. Besides, how many Windows desktop OS users would actually use SFU even if it were included in the OS?

  11. Re:Bookmark filtering in Firefox suggestion on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In Firefox, the Ctrl+D shortcut brings up a dialog asking you where you want to place the bookmark. I think the parent just wants Firefox to use an algorithm to guess which folder should be initially selected in this dialog. It would be quite a nice feature - I'm tired of everything getting stuffed in my Bookmarks Toolbar Folder when I'm in a hurry.

  16. Re:PHP OpenGL on SourceForge on OpenGL in PHP · · Score: 4, Funny

    You obviously don't read Slashdot as regularly as you say if you think that a "mess-around" wouldn't make it onto the front page.

  17. Re:Caps Lock? Who cares about Caps Lock? on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 1

    Some apps *coughWordcough* tend to use every function key on the keyboard and then some.

    They could have, but we have to remember who we're dealing with.

  20. Re:DUPE! on WiFi Signals In Between Television Frequencies · · Score: 1

    The original article said that they were going to vote, this one states the result of that vote.

  21. Re:Tablet PC on Device for Taking Travel Notes? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but if a PDA is out of the price range, don't you think that would be too?

    Nowhere was it said that they were loaded. :)

  23. A handheld year on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While the focus on recent years' E3 seems to have been on consoles, handhelds seem to have been the primary focus, with the DS, PSP, and N-Gage 2 all seeing the light of day. In this age of ever-shrinking technology, is there any chance that this could be the direction that the video game industry is headed? Could consoles go the way of the dodo ten years down the line? At least two of the handheld offerings this year seem very strong, and with their wireless connectivity abilities and graphics similar to those of home consoles, the handheld system may begin to be seen as little more than a cheaper alternative to a console system.

    The biggest mystery of Slashdot - what exactly is ??? - may be solved if we discover the meaning of this code.
