  1. Some lady killed a jogger feeding her Tomogotchi on Video iPod May Arrive in September · · Score: 1

    sad. Dumbass.

  2. I don't see the relevance on What is Mainframe Culture? · · Score: 1

    ??? (n/t)

  3. Re:So, my mail server went down for several hours. on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 1

    I mean, the mail server on my localhost lost connectivity to the smarthost, or something. Anyway, it's only management you're trying to fool anyway, right?

  4. So, my mail server went down for several hours. on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 1

    It happens.

  5. That's why I connect to my 2k3 server first, on New Batch of XP SP2 Holes · · Score: 2, Funny

    then RDP into my desktop machine. If only one of the two systems is vulnerable to a particular attack, you still won't be able to get into both (or either) system.

  6. Oh, the humanity! on New Way to Make Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    n/t

  7. What? on New Way to Make Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about?

  8. Conversely, on BBC In Trouble Over Free Music · · Score: 1

    preventing them from distributing the music for free is like if the government charged everyone $15,000 for the car, and then didn't give it to them.

  9. Some of us have work to do. on Back and Forth Between Qwerty and Dvorak? · · Score: 1

    It /is/ possible to type quickly without hurting yourself. I've found that the mouse is more responsible for my wrist pain than typing is. When I'm doing command line only stuff on UNIX machines, I don't have any problem at all. It's only my mouse hand that ever hurts, so I've switched to mousing left-handed. Since I use customers' computers often, and their mouse is usually on the right, it allows me to effectively switch off.

    Completely solved it for me.

  10. Brevity is... on Adobe Warns of Security Flaw in Reader · · Score: 1

    Considering the forum, I'm pretty sure the submitter could have said "UNIX" instead of "the Unix computer operating system".

    Most of us would have figured that one out.

  11. Neither have dildos on Guitarists, your Days are Numbered · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh, you said... nevermind.

  12. Re:Users are users... on Windows 24 Hr Vulnerabilty Patch - Would It Help? · · Score: 1

    You can specify a time each day when "critical" updates are installed automatically. Your machine will then reboot on it's own.

  13. I wouldn't get your hopes up on Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony · · Score: 1

    Considering how many first posts I've seen marked 'Redundant', I'm not holding my breath for total compliance with sane moderating practices :)

  14. Interesting idea on Cometary Fireworks Go Off Without Hitch · · Score: 1

    It might work, but it would probably have to be done from a second probe, or an orbiting satellite. I doubt that the diffusion in the atmosphere would allow any meaningful data to make it back to the surface.

  15. Re:Don't shoot the messenger on Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony · · Score: 1

    On this site, the editors mainly just post articles as submitted by the readers. In doing this, they're posting stories that are of interest to the readers. Judging by the response, there appear to be many readers interested in the topic.

  16. Not as bad as it needs a on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 1

    "-1, missed the joke" mod.

  17. Quicktime sucks. on Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To answer your question, everyone who runs Windows, and many people running alternative OSes with players that support WiMP's codec set... which is a lot of people.

    How can you be so enamored with a player that doesn't even support playlists, anyway?

  18. Don't shoot the messenger on Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has no control over the quality, they just wanted to let you know that it was out there. Why would you block the editor, instead of the submitter.

    You must have been trained by the government on how and where to assign blame, weren't you?

  19. Disney needs their monopoly of childhood memories on Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony · · Score: 2, Informative

    They'd never sell.

  20. Think about it. on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    When you shift from Drive down to 2nd, and then 1st, what's below 1st? Nothing. Certainly not Reverse. Besides, there's no way they'll try to implement a system that will shift gears automatically. It would be way too difficult and expensive to adapt it to all different models of vehicles. I'm sure it's only capable of limiting throttle, either through the computer or with a mechanical device at the carbuerator/throttle body.

    I do share your concern about the system's accuracy. Actually, I think the whole plan is way too intrusive. We've managed to make it this far without all dying in car crashes, the tradeoff is just not worth it.

  21. I've done it :) on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    1:15 from a gas station by the strip to my place in San Clemente.

    This in a stock Honda Civic DX. I was hitting the speed limiter at 115 the whole way.

    I've got too much sense to do something like that again (assuming current speed laws).

  22. Re:Ask yourself this on U.S. Won't Let Go of DNS · · Score: 1

    ICANN: "Because I can."

  23. So /that's/ what that is. on The Little People In Your Games · · Score: 1

    I've seen screenshots used in Fark Photoshop contests, but I couldn't figure out what game it was.

  24. There is no "fucking article" on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    Did you mean, "read the post"? 'Cause that's not what you said... thrice.

    What you call a "stupid UNIX wish" could otherwise be referred to as a better solution to the real problem. Maybe the poster didn't realize that a separate firewall machine is unquestionably better than a software solution running on the Windows server itself.

    With myopic vision like yours, you'd make great management material. Thanks for being a sackscrape, though.

  25. That's not what I said. on Greatest Beams In Movie History · · Score: 1

    I didn't say it could vaporize popcorn, I said it could pop corn (pop the corn).

    I don't blame you for reading it that way, when I saw my post again, I did a doubletake too.
