  1. Re:This does not lockout Linux on Army to Require Trusted Platform Module in PCs · · Score: 0

    Thank you, for this proper chastisement of the ignorant.

  2. Good idea. on Solar Power Minus the Light · · Score: 0

    Not that I've been duped in to believing human caused global warming, but we need more passive/green energy sources like this. Geothermal is one of the most abundant, constant sources of energy that doesn't generate any waste. You don't have to worry about using exotic materials for the cycle of storage as with wind and solar.
    I would recommend looking at some pictures of geothermal power plants, I was very impressed with the first one I saw. They don't even really need buildings.

  3. Fixed mine within 1 week. on Input Solutions for Repetitive Stress Victims? · · Score: 2, Informative
  4. Again? on U.S. Navy Patents the Firewall? · · Score: 0

    How many times do you monkeys need to be told that abstracts are not part of the patent... read the claims.

  5. Well great on EU Fines for Microsoft Approved, Off the Record · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bill Gates donates billions of his personal money to chairity and the EU wants to take billions from the poor that would receive it in order to subsidize its 15% unemployment rate because it can't convince its people to work.

  6. Re:good for the EU on EU Fines for Microsoft Approved, Off the Record · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you think a goverment is anything more than a corporation with guns, you're fooling yourself.

  7. Probably routing numbers on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: -1

    Many times if you see overlappying calls or many calls to one number you don't know who it is, it's a matter of how the call is routed. What you're seeing is an intermediate number the cell network is using to route your call to the POTS or to the other cell phone. You shouldn't be charged airtime for these calls but you will see a duration. Just make sure it is not charging you airtime minutes.

    As for cloning, like other people said, it's very unlikely. That was one of the main things GSM and CDMA focused on when moving away from analog and simple TDMA.

    Asking if your phone is being cloned nowadays is like asking if someone can see your SSL connection. Sure, there are lots of things that could be done, it would just be cheaper to kill you and take your checkbook though :)

  8. Re:Democrats and Republicans on Congress Sets Sights on Videogames · · Score: -1

    No I'm not :)

  9. Democrats and Republicans on Congress Sets Sights on Videogames · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Just two corrupt parties fighting for more power. Vote Libertarian http://www.lp.org/

  10. I read it once on Paul Allen's Microsoft Experience · · Score: -1

    I heard that Linus once raped a goat and then stole its stock options, just beacuse the goat didn't use Linux! Interesting...

  11. Not environment-neutral on Alternative Energy Confusion · · Score: -1

    While wind power is much better than burning fossil fuel, it is not environment-neutral. Wind farms slow wind flows down and do alter the climate in the area they are placed, affecting the natural inhabbitants. This should always be considered.

  12. Why on New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys · · Score: -1

    Why would you put the keys in alphabetical order? If you have to relearn the whole keymap anyway, you might as well have put it in Dvorak order or something where research has been done to find the most effective key ordering.

  13. This is a subject line. on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thanks for the dupe, faggot. How are you able to post on Slashdot when you don't even read it?.

  14. Re:What the hell on High-Tech RepoMan · · Score: 0

    Your logic is flawed. You do not own the car if you have a loan on it, you "own" it on lein, the bank hold the title, that's why they can take it if you don't pay. Everything you say is based on this false assumption that it's your car, which it's not.

  15. Again? on Free60 Project Aims for Linux on Xbox 360 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Sounds stupid.

  16. Re:Freaking simpletons should not have million$ on Space Elevator Gets FAA Clearance · · Score: 0

    Worst... idea... ever.

  17. Microsoft can't be credible for Windows on IBM Reports Indicate Linux TCO Is Lower · · Score: 0

    But IBM is credible for Linux? And you people call yourselves intelligent.

  18. Glory of open source? on Logitech MSN Webcam Codec Reverse-Engineered · · Score: -1

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, that's just funny.

  19. It's funny on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 0

    No really, nerds are funny, keep making jokes, just keep doing it.

  20. Lunix on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 0

    When I want to mess around with my operating system hours upon hours trying to configure everything correctly, that's when I feel most productive using lunix.

  21. This is patented on Li-Ion With 300% More Power, Minutes to Recharge · · Score: 0

    Where's the slashdot patent rage over this? Microsoft patents isNot and generates 500 posts of how much they hate the company, this company comes up with a technology that could revolutionize moble devices as we know it and the only instance of the word "patent" in all of these replies is someone making a joke.

  22. Once again Slashdot misses on Microsoft's 'IsNot' Patent Continued... · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Patents arn't a broad encompasing thing. They are very specific to *exactly* what the patent clauses claim. Their patent on the isNot operaton comparing two memory locations in a BASIC programming language is exactly that. Before Microsoft came up with it, it simply did not exist, you had to do it another way or it existed in some other language.

    You guys should be thankful that MS will waste 750$+ patenting something this simple. If you guys ever need to patent something in the future you'll be happy the application fee is so cheap because large corporations waste money on simple mundane patents.

  23. A matter of economics on Should Taxpayers Pay Twice For Weather Data? · · Score: 0

    It doesn't matter if we pay once or twice, there is a flow of money in to productivity such as this:
    Money
    Productivity
    Weather data.
    If there is less money comming in one channel(charging after the fact) there needs to me more money comming in the other channel(taxes) in order to keep the same amount of weather data at the same productivity. Learn economics before you try playing politics.
