  1. In other news on Mindbridge Saves "Bunches of Money" In Switch To Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Software costs nothing.... Compared to the cost of supporting it.

  2. Re:You're Missing the Point on MA Senator Decries OpenDocument Decision · · Score: 1

    No point missed.... If I were MS, I would just watch them hang and swing.

  3. Thank God on Five Men Arrested in LexisNexis Data Theft · · Score: -1, Troll

    Thank God the shit doesn't run on Windows servers.......

  4. WTF? on $10k Bounty for Critical Windows Flaws · · Score: 0

    Why would "russian hacker groups" be paying thousands of dollars for unpatched expliots? Not many remaining?

  5. Two tin can's on Google's GTalk Supports XMPP · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've tried many of the most common voip applications.......
    Most sound like two tin can's and a piece of string, when compared to Skype.
    Skype might be proprietary, but they have all of the others beat by a mile.

  6. Re:Oh noes! on Microsoft Sees IBM as Biggest Threat · · Score: 1

    He pretty much already fucking did that, and more than once.

  7. Re:so what's nvidia's equivalent of this thing? on ATI's All-In-Wonder 2006 · · Score: 1

    If you were planning to run it on a Windows box I would say the Nvidia version isn't nearly as good. On a Linux box it appears you have no choice.

  8. Re:Contraband! on ATI's All-In-Wonder 2006 · · Score: 1

    They are working on getting the PVR version of banned. Best of luck to them.

  9. Maybe on Intel Calls $100 Laptops Undesired Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Intel can sell their processors to Fisher-Price and offer a competing product.

  10. Boo Hoo on John Seigenthaler Sr. Criticises Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Unless a Slashdotter has seen John Seigenthaler Sr. wearing a tinfoil hat... Why would we care?

  11. WHOA.... on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll read the content of the article after I construct a tin foil hat for my laptop.

  12. Slashdot ya been had, on NES Controller MP3 player hack · · Score: 1

    This is totally bogus.... and anyone looking closely at the photos of the unit already knows it.

  13. Don't worry...... be happy. on Time Saving Linux Desktop Tips? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Just run Windows and remain as clueless with 90% of the others.

  14. They largely don't. on Why Do People Switch To Linux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most users don't switch to Linux. Most users have never heard of Linux, and don't really care to have anyone tell them about it either.

  15. Nobody on Microsoft Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 1

    Nobody has ever embraced and enhanced Windows to the extent of Google. Google has done a LOT in this direction and continues to do so. Most of the features Google has created are Windows creations. You don't have to like it, but it's true.

  16. Re:The Day I... on Microsoft to Storm Linux Strongholds · · Score: 1

    Anybody else get the idea MS might HAVE a production version of Unix or BSD setting on the shelf?

  17. Re:With Source ??? !!! on Microsoft Virtually Duplicates Your Wireless Card · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They likely created the page in about two minutes. It looks like a page which was originally created for internal employee access, functional only with no intent towards glamour.

  18. Transparent Tin Foil Hats on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: 5, Funny

    How will the rest of the world recognize us if our tinfoils hats are transparent?

  19. Re:Missing Fellow? on Gates Donates $15M to Preserve Computing History · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No reason for Gates to be listed in that crowd. Those selected are hard core R&D technical people. Gates isn't a technical type, he is a businessman. Steve Jobs is missing for the same reason.

  20. Much better than 1.0 on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The price is certainly affordable. Wonder how many struggling shareware authors they just erased from the planet with this new freebie?

  21. Re:Great Idea on Hotmail Cracks Down on Spam · · Score: 0

    Did ya read the article?

  22. Re:How about.... on Hotmail Cracks Down on Spam · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Might shock ya how many ISP have some pretty tight restrictions on the amount of outgoing mail they will allow too. Soon it will be all but impossible to operate a local mail server due to blocked ports on your providers end. ISP's are getting mighty damn tough about the boneheaded stuff we all dearly love...LOL

  23. Great Idea on Hotmail Cracks Down on Spam · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter that we are talking about MS here: Anything that can be done to cut the flow of spam, certainly has it's merits. I will give MS credit for at least attempting to deal with the problem before it gets worse.

  24. Re:Golden Age on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    Sure... and all the while pretend genetics ain't about 80% of the entire package.

  25. Re:Golden Age on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    Barring some extremely rapid developments within infectious disease control. The current youth of the world are largely screwed. Previous and current generations have been poor shepards of their own medical advances. The world has never endured a panademic in recent times and I personally hope to be pushing up daisies a good while before it happens. It's no long a question of IF, the question is actually one of WHEN.
