  1. Knowing less on Quantum Information Can be Negative · · Score: -1

    "If I tell you negative information, you'll know less." This often happens on Slashdot...

  2. Taking bets on 20k Down Can Get You Up Into Space · · Score: -1

    I bet that $200,000 is not the final price. Safe bet.

  3. So I can get rid of my virus protection? on Linux and Windows Security Neck and Neck · · Score: -1

    Under windows I have to purchase virus protection, run spam protection, and a firewall (not XP's). So are they saying I can get rid of this? I don't have this stuff on my linux boxes....

  4. So did they get viruses? on When Computers Were Human · · Score: -1

    ...and worms?

  5. This is great news on Vehicle for Cockroaches · · Score: -1

    It shows that the previous news:Innovation Getting Slower? is wrong!

  6. Kinda redundant on Command Line for the Web · · Score: -1

    I ran the query, and up poped a google search response. Why not just go google?

  7. Misleading title on I am the Most Spammed Person in the World · · Score: -1

    From the article, it's not he who is spammed, but his domain.

  8. More polls on 60% Of U.S. Believe Life Exists On Other Planets · · Score: 3, Funny

    100% of the republicans polled believe that all the life on the other planets are christian.

  9. I hope the rollout isn't successful on Tempe City-Wide Wireless Snags · · Score: 1

    You say: "I hope the rollout isn't successful as I would much prefer to see a more community-based effort, such as in Seattle, Austin, and New York City." I'm confused. Isn't the city really just a reflection of a community? If not, what is it?

  10. For those who haven't seen it yet... on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    Darth did it.

  11. Re:No on Government Use of WiFi Not Secure · · Score: 1

    Uh, could you be more specific? I've used this system for over a year,and have NEVER had a situation in which the popup didn't occur. Being somewhat knowledgable of computers, I find it an interesting theory that some users wouldn't see the popup, you mention billions of reasons, maybe a specific example of one would be helpful?

  12. No on Government Use of WiFi Not Secure · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have implemented wifi for several parks for a large city. We place the network on the outside of our internal network. We allow anyone to connect to the network after agreeing to a pop-up stating our acceptable use policy. Exactly how can this be conceived as insecure?

  13. Not a slam on slashdot, but... on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 0

    Is this really news that matters?

  14. Woops, t was a mistake on New Rodent Species Found · · Score: 0

    After long studies of the animal,it was determined that it was simply a mouse with George Bush's brain transplanted. Asked why they transplanted the brain of the president into the mouse, doctors stated that "it wasn't being used, and the mouse needed it".

  15. Personal opinion on Radio Listening Declining w/ Digital On Its Way Up · · Score: -1, Troll

    Mod me down, but I believe it's a grand waste of bandwidth.

  16. It was etrade on Computer Problem Caused Price Errors on NASDAQ · · Score: 0

    It was etrade

  17. Free lawyer=worthless on Wine Now Has Big-Time Lawyers On Its Side · · Score: 0

    First, he is thinking that if a suit would come up, a counter suit would follow, and legal fees would be paid if the counter suit won. Secondly, a free lawyer is worth what you paid, he has nothing to loose, but you do. The non-adaption of wine by IBM is not about free lawyers, I think they can afford a real one.

  18. Yeah I know on OpenBSD Up & Running on Sharp Zaurus · · Score: 0

    I read about it on Slashdot last week! Dup.

  19. Holy crap batman! on Red Hat/Apache Slower Than Windows Server 2003? · · Score: 0

    What's that author been smokin?

  20. What a concept on Risk Management - A Cautionary Tale · · Score: 0

    Plan ahead. Wish I thought that one up

  21. Re:a couple ideas... on Microsoft Misses Quarterly Revenue Projection · · Score: 0

    How often do you reboot? You must reboot windows machines every 49.7 days or they do crash, this is a known issue: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/eric.price/humour2/0379. htm .

  22. Re:Other fun IP addresses to attack! on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yeah, and notice how windowz doesn't even have a sequence number on their pings? On third generation (or more) OS's, you'd think they would add such a feature that has been in the unix world for decades...

  23. Is it me? on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 0

    Or does this just look too much like XP Pro? I really don't see that much difference to justify calling it a new OS.

  24. Why do this when there are already logs? on Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows · · Score: 0

    To know what happened when it crashed (so regularly).

  25. Just signed up, but it'll never happen on Petition To Get OS/2 Open Source · · Score: 0

    It has windows code in it. Won't ever happen.
