  1. memories... on 8th Grader Suspended for Using 'net send' Command · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of my computer teacher. She knew nothing at all about computers. I taught her where the on/off switch was in the 3rd grade. Before that to reboot she flipped a switch on the wall to reboot all computers, or just made you share with someone else for the rest of the hour. Anyhow, I feel bad for the kid. Reminds me of my days as a 13 year old. EZboard forum + 3 friends + position:absolute + 1px image stretched over the whole forum = 4 happy kids. They threatened to sue us all for property damage or something. Kids.

  2. Re:A review of a service pack on Windows XP SP2 Beta Reviewed · · Score: 5, Informative

    It let me know a pop-up blocker was on the way (I was SO going to get Earthlink :), it let me know Outlook will be better in keeping viruses in check, and finally a firewall that will help keep viruses and spyware from running on my computer.

    Cause you had no browsers with native pop-up blocking,,No virus-free mail clients,, and no free anti-virus for XP before now
    please...

  3. nothing wrong with 98SE on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I find it to have the best mix of stability, security (with anti-virus and such) and user friendly-ness of most windows OSes. 2000 was primarily server/coprate, ME failed at a basic level. XP is fair, but with an insane number of worms, you doubt microsoft will ever get another winner like 98 in it's day.

  4. Re:Marvelous bike on Woman Ticketed For Nude Pics On Internet · · Score: 1

    Don't know if this is just me, but that is a great motorbike she's sitting on.
    I wonder what distro it runs...

  5. Re:really bad idea for real system administrators on Finding MD5 Collisions With Chinese Lottery · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dude. Do you want to know the tax on your server? 3 lines of simple HTML. That doesn't sound like much of an extra complication, or CPU usage. Even the tiny applet is loaded off Their Server, meaning you do nearly no work to help these guys. You can debate the ethics, sure, but saying this is a mistake because of server issues is wrong.

  6. Re:My response... on NY Post Says GTA Worse Than Molesting · · Score: 1

    There is a fifth category who's acronymn I am not aware of, but the category is for the very young, toddler aged, and educational.
    EC, for Early Childhood. Typically the same as an E rated game, but without conflicts of any kind.

  7. Re:Measure the Slashdot Effect! on E-Voting Firm VoteHere Discloses October Break-In · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I agree, and cannot see my vote going o'er the internet anytime in the future, but we (as a slashdot collective) are forever hopeful that our beloved Linux/BSD will find a way to do just about anything. While current e-voting has been massivly flawed, surely some enterprising devloper will come up with something about the problem someday. Until then, I'm content to make the trek out to a polling place once a year.

  8. Re:pfft... on Toshiba Develops 0.85'' Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    pfft x2, good sir. It was clearly a referance to the size of the hard drive. You have a sick mind, AC.

  9. Re:Counterstrike on Multiplayer Linux Games · · Score: 1

    CS? I think you mean ricochet. No worries about stealth, or aiming, really. Just point in the general direction of the enemies and hope for the best. Best* half life mod ever.

    *not the best, but best for n00bs.

  10. pfft... on Toshiba Develops 0.85'' Hard Disk · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's not how big it is, it's how you use it...

  11. Re:Linux on Demand Kiosk w/ CD burner on Open Source CD Lending For Public Libraries? · · Score: 1

    nice, but what happens when some moron comes in to his library complaining that all his documents were erased, he can't open Word, and is unable to use Internet Explorer. His son is complaining he can't play his games. Who will fix his computer then?

    It just isn't as easy as you make it sound.

  12. Re:Classic misdirection on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1

    And this means re-election.
    I hope not. A victory in a war that was justified by what now seem to be mostly lies shouldn't win re-election.

  13. Re:Use emacs... on Silent Mice for Silent PCs? · · Score: 1

    Use vi!
    And throw your emacs away!

  14. Re:How can this work? on Spamholes Fighting Spammers · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if webmail services has an option "Bounce this message", so the spammer will receive more and more bounces of actually good accounts.
    Because forged from fields are impossible, right?

    Seriously, a 12 year old could code a php script to spam anything with a forged from field.

  15. Soldat on Approaches To Teamwork In Online Games Surveyed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    http://www.soldat.pl
    Play capture the flag. Be a true leader, or a true follower, or just a stupid sniper camper. Someone's gotta defend the flag, after all.

  16. Re:Tempting. on We're Jammin', Hope You Like Jammin' Too · · Score: 1

    What I would buy to shut up those fools in a movie, concert, or school is a pulse jammer, which jams it for no more then 3 seconds. They will get disconected, and hopefully after two or three times they will give up, and be just as angry as I am.

  17. Re:Online mentions in IBM filing on SCOrched Earth · · Score: 1

    How do you weigh hot air again?
    You can't, you have to mass it.

  18. Bandwith eh? on North Korea Introduces 'Secure' E-mail · · Score: 1

    It did say that it had "a large transmission ban", which appears to mean high-speed bandwidth.
    nope. It should be taken at face value. Many things cannot be transmitted. This post, for example, is banned from being e-mailed to NK.

  19. Re:What will this teach kids? on Kids Game Takes Aim At Music Pirates · · Score: 1

    Just like when they play Doom it's going to teach them to take their Dad's shotgun and kill mister former sergeant down the road (an army veteran) because of their Doom experience. Hey, Doom worked for me!

  20. Re:Just downloaded the IE patches on New IE Holes Discovered · · Score: 1

    I suppose you're right. Tomorow I may not feel guilty, so I will apologize now.

  21. Re:Just downloaded the IE patches on New IE Holes Discovered · · Score: 2, Interesting

    heh, Firebird should grab them for you. At least it did for me. Puts all your old links into an imported IE folder. So switch already, you open source n00b!

  22. Re:Space Junk on ISS Fender Bender · · Score: 1

    Eh, I think the big blue signs saying "this cubic mile adopted by..." would be a bigger threat then the space debris.

  23. Slightly off topic but on Israeli Ministry of Commerce Picks OO.org Over MS · · Score: 1

    What is the correct way to say the name of the suite provided by openoffice.org? OOo? OO.o? The Open Source version of the suite formerly known as StarOffice? Help me out here, someone. Anyone!

  24. tough choice on The Rise of Cyber Bullying · · Score: 1

    Would I rather be beaten and shoved in a locker or made fun of on the internet. I'll take the internet any day. Then I will h4xx0r their boxes and have my uber-l33t revenge! PWNED! I say again, PWNED! So yeah, on the internet, my chances of fighting back go up slightly.

  25. in other news on China Detains Internet Essayist for Subversion · · Score: 1

    A massive DDoS attack was launched against slashdot.org, with 99% of all attackers in China. Chinese officals are investigating, but say there is little hoping of stopping the attack for several days, due to a government holiday. No comment could be recived from any slashdot members, as they were found huddled in their basements, crying.
