  1. Re:FUD Story to pump MSN Search? on Online Search Engines Lift Cover Of Privacy · · Score: 1

    Except, the information is on the internet.

    The insecurity isn't on the search engine's side, google is just catching a lot of information

    Paying $9.95 a month would just cripple people that use search, the rest who would keep using google could still find it.

  2. How do you know they don't already have one on A Review of Nanotech's Future · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and you just can't see it?

  6. Re:FreeDOS? on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 1

    I don't think the majority of slashdot buys computers from dell.

    Plus im thinking home user = windows user (most often)

  7. FreeDOS? on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 3, Funny

    What kind of home user uses a command line only OS?

  8. Re:A threat? Really? on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 4, Insightful

    NEVER underestimate the power of human stupidity.

  10. Re:already been done before. on Announcing Cooperative Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's closer to VMware then it is to cygwin.

  11. But which OS sees traffic? on Announcing Cooperative Linux · · Score: 1

    Is it possible to route network traffic to Linux instead of windows? Or even route it to Linux BEFORE windows?

  12. Re:Thank you.... on Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation · · Score: 1

    Great quote, but i don't remember where i heard it...

    If the two parties were switched, your post and his post would be switched.

    Half, and half that it exploits a feature which is not present in windows : root and user accounts.

  17. Re:Seizure seizures on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 1

    They probably don't understand anything about the internet.

    Look at Congress and the RIAA.

    the warrent pictures are still slashdotted, anyone have a mirror of them?

    Now everyone's spying on us :(.

  21. Re:pot, kettle, black on Freedom of Expression in Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    Somewhat, but (usally) that moderation is a reflection of the community as a whole, so it's not like they're going to listen to it anyway :)

  22. How about this? on Freedom of Expression in Virtual Worlds · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You do not have a right to free speech on games like "The Sims Online".

    These games are a privledge, and if the communities are outraged about censorship, or anything else, well they should fight with their money.

    Sidenote: This may not be the case with TSO, but i've noticed in many MMORPGS (think EQ), people are so addicted to it, despite the fact they hate the company that owns it, they continue to play it.

    They still piss and moan about it but they never actally cancel the game.

    Maybe thats what happened here.

  23. Re:An Excellent Example on Local News Anchor Feels Pain from Afar · · Score: 1
    This is an excellent example of how easy it is to dupe the public into believing something that is not entirely factual. It also drives home the importance of our taking what we hear on radio/TV and what we read in the newspapers with a very big grain of salt.
    But not the internet?
  24. Re:Bad news: We lose. on Army to use MMOG for Simulation Training · · Score: 1

    Seems more like something China would do.

  25. Re:Getting Real?? on Open Source in Government: Newport News, Va. · · Score: 1

    True, but Peru is a poorer country, so Open Source is a lot more likely to be used there.

    While America's government is never eager to cut back on funding...
