  1. Re:The Internet: Where Religions Come To Die on How the Internet Is Taking Away America's Religion · · Score: 4, Interesting

    and yet, the old superstitions have been replaced by new ones.
    Those who believe in chemtrails, reptilians and illuminati or a different set which might believe in chakras, tarot and energy healing all happily believe whatever is posted on naturalnews or globalresearchca.
    Observation would suggest that "this ploy" is still just as effective on the internet.

  2. Fake characters on Yes, You Too Can Be an Evil Network Overlord With OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    Why is this post full of fake characters?

  3. GNUnet on P2P Data Not Private, But It Could Be · · Score: 1

    Try out GNUnet, it's pretty much exactly the architecture the author describes.

  4. Re:What is it with Asians and robots? on Flower Robots For Your Home · · Score: 1

    Seriously, is there anything they don't want to turn into a robot?

    "American universities and Japanese manufacturers have produced toy-like robot plants, but ours has various new kinetic and electronic functions," project leader Park Jong-oh said. "It's a fresh attempt to introduce the concept of plants, rather than humans or animals, to robot making." Seems admirable enough to me.

  5. Re:Projection on Does GPL v3 Alienate Developers? · · Score: 1

    TiVo is not a GPL-based entity. Just because they use Linux as the base OS of their otherwise closed-source, proprietary, DRM-encumbered, locked-down product, it doesn't mean that they have a business model based on GPL.

    So why did Tivo report to the SEC that GPL v3 will hurt their business?
  6. At least... on Microsoft "SiteFinder" Quietly Raking It In · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well if you're gonna do the wrong thing, you at least might as well do it the right way.

    Verisign literally broke DNS in their attempt. This cash grab is confined to software that can easily be switched from.

  7. ObSimpsons on Stop Global Warming With Smog? · · Score: 1

    Principal Skinner: "Ah that's the beauty of the thing, come winter the Godzillas will freeze to death."

  8. Re:wootz? on Ancient Swords Made of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is the rod made of wootz?

  9. ObPA on Gaming Fanatics Show Hallmarks of Drug Addiction · · Score: 4, Funny

    They say there is a Penny Arcade for every slashdot article.

  10. Re:Does my liberalism require that I reject this? on Campaign Financing Cyber Loophole · · Score: 1

    You're assuming that everyone has the same amount of money.

    If anyone can spend however much they want, then the gap between the rich and the poor (or do you deny that exists?) means that only the rich have a say.

    Do you think the rich have the same interests at heart as the poor? Or even middle class?

  11. Re:Neat! on Digital Clock as Thin as Paper · · Score: 1

    I'm a console user you insensitive clod!

  12. New name on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    Proposed new name: Microsoft Windows. Oh wait...

  13. Huh?! on How to Build Your Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Queue gentoo fanboys...

    But seriously, LFS is new? I based my distribution on LFS, and it taught me a lot about how linux works, but this was several years ago. How is LFS new?

  14. Re:NOT *really* superstrings *or* supersymmetry! on Exploring Superstrings in the Lab · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who couldn't understand the article or this guys argument against it?

  15. ObLinus on Kazaa Outed Over 'Trust Fund' for Red Cross · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The music industry alleged in court that it was a tactic by Kazaa parent company Sharman Networks to park money out of the reach of the music industry if it loses the case and is left with a huge damages bill."

    Real men don't scam citizens for stash-money! They zip it up, call it goat porn and upload it to Kazaa! Oh wait...

  16. Re:mysql bad at disaster recovery? on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1

    If this is the case, then can you explain why MySQL managed to complete the recovery?

    I'm on #mediawiki on freenode, and one of their servers (the others are coming up now) "made the grade" as you put it.

  17. Re:Distributed Wikipedia? on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 0, Troll

    Talk is cheap.

    What's inexcusable is YOU calling the work of volunteers to provide the world (literally) with an almost unlimited source of good information for free, inexcusable.

    Why don't you get off your ass and help?

    What am I doing to help you say? Well...they asked me to be rude to the rude people on slashdot... :D

  18. Re:A good thing on Intel Develops Hardware To Enhance TCP/IP Stacks · · Score: 1

    With the ever growing popularity of fluff statements like this one, I think a statement like the parent may yield no real benefits to this discussion.

  19. Re:The question is... on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 1

    The one thing I noticed nobody asked after I read the comments (at +3) is this:

    If I register my domain with google, can my Gmail account now become myname@mydomain.com if I want? I think that would be some nice functionality.

  21. Re:way cool on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind · · Score: 1

    In addition, I wonder if things sound like they look.

    Will porn sound like hot lesbians masturbating? Will LaTeX sound like my Mathematics lecturer from last year?
    What about pictures of the Buddha, or Jesus, or any other religious figure? Will pictures of steak sound like cows?

  22. way cool on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Let me be the first to say I can't wait till they run my /pub/porn/pictures/ through this baby.

  23. Bob Marley on Plant a Seed, Get Sued? · · Score: 1

    O.K so clearly Bob was talking about Mary seeds in this song, but I thought it was kind of appropriate anyway.

    "Sheriff John Brown always hated me, For what, I don't know: Every time I plant a seed, He said kill it before it grow - He said kill them before they grow." - Bob Marley - I Shot thr Sheriff

  24. Re:What?! on Altnet Threatens P2P Companies Over File Hash Patents · · Score: 1

    That's a pretty wasteful way of doing it. You should leave the alcohol + herb solution for a few days for optimal first run extraction, and repeat it at least twice on the plant material to obtain maximum extraction.

  25. Re:liars! on Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    I'd mod that up if I could. AVG rocks. No bloat. Also you might want to try clamwin, but AVG is better imo.
