  1. Still going on on Fake Antivirus Scams Spread To Android · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The weekly/monthly stories that try to implant into peoples minds.

    Android = Linux = Malware

    Users are stupid whatever OS/Hardware they use, they will click on shit like this just because it pops up and they've never bothered to educate themselves about what it really means.

  2. Not interested in the publishers on Amazon Launching eBook Lending Program, Publishers Unenthusiastic · · Score: 2

    Anybody bother to find out what the AUTHORS think of this or do we just have the opinion of what is essentially the middlemen ?

  3. It was vapourware on The Story Behind the Demise of the Microsoft Courier Tablet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've stopped believing anything Microsoft announce until I can actually buy it in a shop.

  4. Nothing untypical here on Julian Assange Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 0

    If you can't attack the message, attack the messenger.

    It's happened all through history

  5. Hang on, on Civil Suit Filed, Involving the Time Zone Database · · Score: 2

    Isn't the TZ database a collection of facts and therefore not subject to copyright protection ?

    If I'm correct then the answer to this suit should be a very short "Fuck off, Troll"

  6. Please do NOT feed the trolls on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    It only encourages them. Let them wither and die in obscurity.

  7. Re:Cap Gains vs. Income on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 0

    Capital gains on traded shares comes from all the gambling on share prices at the stock market.

    It has NOTHING to do with tax on company profits.

    You sir, are fucking idiot or a troll, I can't decide which.

  8. Re:Every System Needs a Touchscreen? on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 1

    You've been able to get this since 2k8 Server with a server core install.

    I'm not above a little Microsoft bashing but you should at least do some basic research before you start trolling about haveing to use the GUI

  9. Interesting on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 1

    So to make the most of the default new interface I would have to find some way of making my 32" HD monitor a touchscreen ?

    Did big touch screens suddenly become cheap when I wasn't looking or is this just a way to push tech for monitor manufacturers seeing as 3d TV isn't working sales as well as they thought ?

  10. This is the right way to do it on Linux Foundation, Linux.com Sites Down To Fix Security Breach · · Score: 2

    Not like when a CA gets its webserver compromised, has a quick self audit and then declares everything is OK, really, honest....

    Assume everything is compromised unless you can prove otherwise and get the staff in on overtime to reinstall from scratch.

  11. Realistically on GlobalSign Web Server Hacked, But Not CA · · Score: 2

    They should be assuming their CA is compromised and acting accordingly.

    Any other way of looking at it is stupidity of the highest order

  12. The next hype for Windows 8 will be on Windows 8 To Feature 'Fast Startup Mode' · · Score: 1

    "Easier And Faster! Your Productivity Will Double!"

    The same line they've trotted out with Windows 95 and every version since.

    Would it kill them to get some new copy or are they just going to keep regurgitating the same crap every release and watch their OEM monopoly on new computer installs sell it without any effort whatsoever ?

  13. What a great idea, alpha, beta and normal ! on Monthly Ubuntu Releases Proposed · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they could give them useful names, like, stable, unstable and testing. Nobody has thought of that before

  14. I'm intrigued on TSA Groper Files Suit Against Blogger · · Score: 1

    Did this place get taken over by Digg ?

    That would explain why Mr Malda left....

  15. Re:Microsoft Has No One To Blame But Themselves on Sony Attacks Microsoft's Publishing Policies · · Score: 1

    I think the only reason MS is not so powerful today compared to 10 years ago is because Balmer is much nicer than Gates

    I always thought it was because Ballmer was a fucking idiot ?

  16. From Wikileaks @twitter on There's Been a Leak At WikiLeaks · · Score: 4, Informative

    "There has been no 'leak at WikiLeaks'. The issue relates to a mainstream media partner and a malicious individual."

  17. Require a VPN connection on New Worm Morto Using RDP To Infect Windows PCs · · Score: 3, Informative

    If IT and users are connecting to a bare open RDP port then someone fucked up along the way.

    Do it right, require a VPN connection before you allow an RDP connection.

  18. So my options are on Acer CEO Declares a Tablets Bubble · · Score: 2

    Buy something that exists just now and allows me to do what I want

    OR

    Wait until an unreleased OS turns up on a platform that doesn't actually exist yet.

    Microsoft/Intel vapourware FUD yet again ?

  19. The headline should read on Dutch Court Says Android 2.3 Violates Apple Patents · · Score: 1

    Samsung Photo App violates one of Apples patents.

    The sensational half truths that pass for headlines these days make me think I've wandered onto Digg by mistake

  20. Here's an idea on What HP's TouchPad Fire Sale Teaches iPad Rivals · · Score: 1

    Stop fixating your reviews or articles on Android tablets that are the same price as iPads and let us know what is out there for cheaper ?

    I picked up an ASUS Transformer for £100 less than the Motorola Xoom and it has exactly the same spec and OS

  21. Interesting idea on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Why not just go back to the file copy from XP ?

    It worked great until somone had the bright idea of rewriting it for the sake of it in Vista. It might say Windows 7 when it starts up, but it's still got big chunks of Vista underneath.

  22. Usual misleading headline on Oracle vs Google: Copyright Claims Must Remain · · Score: 2

    Oracle have asked the court to rule that the copyright claim should remain.

    It's a standard reply brief, nothing to see here until the court make a ruling.

  23. IT guys will be doing the same thing on Ask Slashdot: What Will IT Look Like In 10 Years? · · Score: 1

    The sad, simple fact is that you can't fix stupid. No matter how much you try to educate the end user, they don't seem to listen.

  24. Re:What we need is ..... on Apple Sued Over OS X Quick Boot · · Score: 1

    "waves hand"

    These are not the patents you are looking for

  25. Re:You've been Pwned: GMail on Are Google's Best Days Behind It? · · Score: 1

    Switch on IMAP, download mail, problem solved.

    Troll harder next time you technical incompetant
