  1. Looks like you'll lose on Learning to Code with a Boardgame · · Score: 1

    I'm kicking ass with the goto command:

    GOTO FinishLine

  2. Re: swingline on Major Microsoft Re-Organization · · Score: 1

    Last time I saw mine was on hawaiian shirt day just before the weekend we started playing catch-up.

  3. I think it's just "jorb" on Major Microsoft Re-Organization · · Score: 1

    Looks like Allchin will be the one without a seat, unless Coach Z learns to say it right.

  4. Re:Industry Revenues... on The Implications of Google's Digital Library · · Score: 1

    With Google providing all the media, the library won't cost nearly as much to run since fewer people will be checking out books, CD's and DVD's. They can fire a few librarians and there you go, a few year's worth of salary saved.

  5. Maybe both... on Google WiFi+VPN Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Take a look at this entry in the FAQ:

        Will Google Secure Access work at other locations?

        While Google Secure Access should work, we have not tested it at other locations.

    That certainly says that they do not own the hot-spot, though it doesn't answer wether or not they will be putting up their own hot-spots as well.

  6. "Totally Inadequate." on Computer Security Still Totally Inadequate · · Score: 1

    Totally. You have zero security. Zilch. None. Seriously. That firewall you have? Nada. It doesn't protect you at all. That unprivileged user you're using? Nope, not gonna cut it. There is no security. Seriously. Nothing is adequate. Nothing. Your security, regardless of what system you run, is Totally Inadequate.

    *yawn*

    Sure... whatever.

  7. True true, however... on Mothers Taking the Fight to the RIAA · · Score: 1

    If it were written by one of those, maybe it would go something like this:

    "Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls"

  8. Oh boy I can't wait on Columba 1.0 "Holy Moly" Released · · Score: 1

    Now that the Nintendo Revolution has unveiled its melee weapon controller, it shouldn't be long until we're all beating hookers with lead pipes and experiencing all the glory that next gen gaming will provide us! Now that gaming hardware is catching up, it *can't* be long until DNF is relased, woohoo!!

  9. Alpha Hardware on Hard Drives Made for RAID Use · · Score: 1

    I got an alpha hardware version of one of these bad boys and it came with a very handy extra that they assumed the end users wouldn't need: a de-bug port. Now I don't even NEED raid, but it's nice to have the option.

  10. I say the RIAA encourages illegal downloading on RIAA Says P2P Encourages Illegal Downloads · · Score: 1

    If the RIAA didn't make such popular music then there would be nothing to illegally download, so clearly they are at fault and must cease and desist their production of music products which can infect otherwise legitimate P2P networks.

  11. Re:Solution in three easy steps: on IT Departments Are A Security Risk · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's pretty much how it works. That's how it was for me during a takeover at one of my pervious empoyers. They fired everybody except the head IT guy, at a 24 hour operation of 200 or so employees. Our systems were all getting messed up and nobody had any permissions to even defrag, scandisk or clean out temp files. We had permission to run two applications, one of which was the calculator. I nearly got fired for finding a workaround in the security in order to repair our workstations so we could get some work done. ...actually, now that I think about it, one of my workarounds involved l0pht, but that's beside the point.

  12. Clippy on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, they are innovative. Clippy is the most innovative offering of its kind since Chinese water torture.

  13. Re:Ubuntu ubove ull on Debian Core Consortium Releases First Code · · Score: 1

    I don't know how futile resistance will be to a guy who put Linspire *twice* in a list of what would've been 5 distros... He must really love it, and that's scary. That's the kind of guy who makes a simple story into a story of mythical proportions.

  14. It goes into the trash on Intel's Per-Chip Cost Averages $40 · · Score: 3, Funny

    You left out that one time I left the pod on the nanoscope while I went to check the SVG tracks and the arm failed to retract before proceeding from wafer #1 to wafer #25, breaking the lot before I could get back to hit the emergency stop button. Sucks too, that was right after a fresh coat of polyimide, two or three steps before the end of the line. Must've been $150k worth of product in that pod. So, yeah, some of that money just goes right into the trash, or becomes a souvenir refrigerator magnet.. shhhh... ;-)

  15. Same here... on Perl Best Practices · · Score: 1

    I had the same problem, except in foo.pl. Maybe my retarded. :(

  16. Syntax problem on Perl Best Practices · · Score: 4, Funny

    Being a Python programmer, not a Perl programmer, I'm sure you won't be angry if I point out your syntax problem: you forgot the semi-colon. It's a common mistake though. The proper syntax is:

    use Python;

  17. 5+ Informative?? on Novell Expects Vista to Spur Linux Adoption · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't know which is funnier, the joke itself or the fact that it was modded 5+ informative! Haha, those /. moderators, what a bunch of kidders. :)

  18. Re:iPods work with linux on Behind The Development Of The iPod nano · · Score: 1

    Dude, that kicks ass. I haven't used any of my iPods in linux because I didn't get one until after I had bought a Mac and relinquished my linux boxen to server roles, but it's cool to know that the functionality is there. In fact, I just sold an old 3g iPod to a friend of mine, I'll have to tell him to try that route since he's a linux guy. Awesome.

  19. Not from my experience on Gallery 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I've been using G2 since beta 2. There were 4 beta's and an RC, iirc. I've never seen anything like spam redirections, but then, I wasn't accessing it from Windows... =P G2 is great.

  20. While we're on the subject of grog on First Cocktail 5,000 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Some slashdotters might find this holiday to be enjoyable: International Talk Like a Pirate day. September 19th, only one week away!

  21. Re:That's all well and nice ... on Securing Mac OS X Tiger · · Score: 1

    Does that mean you want to trade?

  22. Quicker way to secure a Mac on Securing Mac OS X Tiger · · Score: 2, Funny

    Unplug the power. I mean, we all know the most secure computer is the one that's turned off, right? And of course it should be locked up in a safe in a deep dark cavern protected by a dragon or something.

  23. Re:That's all well and nice ... on Securing Mac OS X Tiger · · Score: 2

    Want to trade for a slow intel piece of crap?

  24. They're just copying Apple again on Microsoft Skips Patch Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Trying to release "Mini-Microsoft" or something, I'm sure.

  25. MS is cheap already on Microsoft Skips Patch Tuesday · · Score: 1

    It doesn't cost anything to 0wn a windows box and I've got a 10k strong botnet to prove it!
