  1. Re:Electronic Crimes Task Force on EU Gumshoe Chases Internet Villains · · Score: 1

    What puts people to sleep more than drab, 60s-70s era office buildings? The point, my friend, is to not be seen.

  2. Re:What is the Value of an IP address? on Mom, and Now Judge, Stand Up to RIAA · · Score: 1

    Not to mention most IPs in America are dynamic. What if someone was sharing music, and then your IP switched to theirs? How can the RIAA base evidence off a form of "identification" that actually changes?

  3. Re:How about blaming Louisiana? on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    Well, uh, see there's this thing about the city already being there when we got it in the early 1800s. Something about it being the most important port in the west. Something about it being over 200 years old!

  4. How Ironic... on Building Secure Computers? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I click on "read more" and what do I see? "Nothing to see here, move along." Nice.

  5. Re:America has a choice.. on The Decline of Science and Technology in America · · Score: 1

    You'll notice that all your quotes are dated earlier than the parent's.

  6. Re:abusing admin account was only the beginning on Kutztown Students get Felony Charges · · Score: 1

    So I assume that taking away their laptops would be too easy a sentence?

  7. Re:Idiots. on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    I did that very thing. And you know what? I agree. These students were, franky, idiots. On the other hand, that password should have been changed at the first sign of a problem. In addition, only one password protecting all the admin priviledges is equally idiotic as those that exploited it. At our school, what we do is install a Deep Freeze, ( http://www.faronics.com/index.asp ), which restores the hard drive to a set image at every reboot. Only four people have access priviledges high enough to edit that, and none of them are students.

  8. Re:If its been decided... on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Try a google for Kepler Syndrome. You'll find sites that explain it better than I can, but basically, debris hits something, and it creates more debris. These go on to create more collisions and more debris, eventually closing off an entire orbit plane.

  9. Re:That is all I need on Chicago To Consider City-Wide Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Maybe it will be better than a near monopoly by SBC, hmm?

  10. Re:is city-wide wireless too costly? on Chicago To Consider City-Wide Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Crap, shouldn't have hit post so fast... In addition, most of the wireless shown on that map is concentrated on the north side, close to the lake. The further west and south of the loop you go, the less wireless you see.

  11. Re:is city-wide wireless too costly? on Chicago To Consider City-Wide Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Because the major provider of wireless and DSL is SBC, who are a monstrous corporation with a virtual monopoly on the market. Thus, prices keep going up and up, for apparently no reason.

  12. Re:Emotion vs logic on No Formal Risk Analysis of Hubble Rescue by NASA · · Score: 1

    Which telescope is better and already in operation? As for the planned one, are you referring to the James Webb telescope? Are you aware that sees totally different wavelengths than Hubble?

  13. Re:River/coastline... on Titan Photos and Sounds · · Score: 1

    The parent is correct. Please mod up so that we do not have many people debating "craters" when they are really enhancement artifacts.

  14. Re:Speaking of mature content... on Game Industry Derided For Mature Content · · Score: 1

    So sign em up for a few porno newsletters. I'm sure they'd love that. ;)

  15. Re:Insanity on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 1

    Oh, I have a pretty good idea. We're blindly driving ourselves down a cliff. But there are a few bright spots, especially near Illinois.

  16. Re:HHGTTG shouldn't be a movie on Hitchhikers Movie Update · · Score: 1

    Oh, cheer up, Marvin!

  17. Re:Charlie Brown on Hitchhikers Movie Update · · Score: 1

    Man, where are those mod points when I need em eh? +1 Funny

    Red Sox fan eh? Well, NEXT Year is OUR Year!

    Oh wait, that's the Cubs, we've got four more years....

    Crap.

  19. Re:Now, let's all have a big Slashdot group hug on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Hey, Illinois is considered by some to be the center of the midwest, yet most, if not all our officials elected this year were democratic. We also gave our Electoral Votes to Kerry by a somewhat large margin. Try to skip the sweeping genralization next time, ok? Of course, living in Chicago makes it a bit different, by still...

  20. Re:Now, let's all have a big Slashdot group hug on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    I'm probably just temporarily depressed before I go back to fighting his policies however I can, but I can't even fathom how stupid American voters are, and I'm only 16.... Maybe I'm just disillusioned.

  21. Re:The Mars rovers.... on NASA Plans Robotic Lunar Scouts · · Score: 1

    And the even better thing is that they are expected to survive the Martian winter, which was supposed to be the death knell for those bots. I for one, welcome our new celestial body exploring robotic overlords!

  22. Re:Not all intelligent discourse needs to be civil on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    Except, even though I am a Roman Catholic, I couldn't care less how other people are. It's their life, they can do as they wish. I try to avoid sweeping generalizations.

  23. Re:Politics of Slashdot on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    Well, at least you didn't get modded down. That says that some people actually do care about the opposition side. I've talked to many people about various documentaries, or stories in the newspaper, and they just say they don't want to hear it. Why are they so closed minded?

  24. Re:No It Hasn't on Half Life 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that PC Gamer has reviewed a final build of it.

  25. Re:This is nothing new on Making Tracks on Mars · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, with regard to point #2, the earth and moon are a double planet system, because the moon orbits the sun, not the earth, as evidenced by the fact that it always falls towards the sun. More here: http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/egsga/nice00/program me/abstracts/aac6816.pdf
