  1. Re:He is using linux on a dual g5 on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I was given a dual G5 with the OS license, ***I*** certainly would run OSX. Then again, its a support thing, and since HE supports the OS, there is nothing wrong with him running Linux. I kinda guess it's a preference thing.

  2. Isn't this illegal? on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even if it's with the system owner's permission, wouldn't this be considered illegal and prosecutable?

  3. Why all the name calling? on Is Apple The New Microsoft? · · Score: 0

    I really don't understand the question. Are you asking if Apple is going to change their name to "New Microsoft"?

  4. Tops-10 on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 0

    Everyone knows that CP/M was a cheap knock off of Tops-10, which ran on the PDP-10 (dec-10). So, using the above logic DOS was a knock off of Tops-10.

  5. Record breaking, huh? on GlobalFlyer Completes Record-Breaking Flight · · Score: 0

    If he was the first, what records could he have broken? Please be accurate in your reporting.

  6. Re:Bush won't let this happen on Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Smaller govt my ass. Check the facts, baba. Government has INCREASED in every catagory since that facist has entered office. Taxes up, military spending up, # government workers up, etc. The only thing that is down is the value of the dollar.

  7. technically wrong on Engineers Devise Invisibility Shield · · Score: 0

    A shield provides some type of physical protection, a cloak would be more accurate.

  8. Next: signs at bars on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 0

    So bars will have to have disclaimers that you must do background checks on people you meet in them? What if you meet on the street? Oh, the city will need to put warnings on every street corner. Why don't they have warnings at every street corner that driving cars may result in injury or death in the case of an accident? At what point is this just plain stupid? Perhaps this is why our taxes are so high (if your not rich, that is). Finally, check the states that this is becoming law in....are the red by any chance?

  9. Upcoming Slashdot article: on Stallman Calls For Action on Free BIOS · · Score: 3, Funny

    RMS, seeking 100% freedom, calls for a free governement. He was quickly carried off to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba for what was called a "debriefing". Knowledgable sources have stated that he will be released "someday".

  10. Alternate solution on Microsoft to Disable Online Windows Activation · · Score: 0

    Give it away, and charge for the services. God knows, using their software requires more support than GNU software!

  11. Technically publically held on Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot · · Score: 0

    Although Microsoft is technically publically held, Gates and Balmer easily control the board. They can do whatever they want to do, as long as it's legal. They may see the value of their stock decay, but they certainly could squander the assets as they see fit.

  12. Nice knowing you slash on U.S. Scientists Say They Are Told to Alter Finding · · Score: -1, Troll

    Actually, when is American going to wake up and realize the incredible damage this president has/is doing to the country? Are we so sheepish to just go along with anything? Bush is the biggest threat to American Freedom today, hands down.

  13. Idiot poster on A Pizza Box for Your Laptop · · Score: -1

    RTFM it is a fictional product.

  14. I say hang him on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 0

    There is more economic disadvantages to this than advantages. Imagine all the code rewrites that would have to occur, etc. HELLO!

  15. Pretty sad on China Launches New Search Engine · · Score: 0

    When Slashdot has the article on it 2 days after NPR reports it nationally.

  16. Big brother trips on Google Revises Usenet Search · · Score: 1, Informative

    I have been on it this morning with various results. I am getting alot of server errors. Additionally, the preferences doesn't allow me to change it back to the old format. I don't like the new format personally, and won't be using it.

  17. Electricity from humans on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 0

    The first Matrix mentioned "in addition to a form of fusion, they use humans for electricity". Jeez, if they have fusion, and still need more electricity, they gots a severe problem. I don't understand that in the least.

  18. Ha, first reply on SCO Madness Reigns Supreme · · Score: -1, Redundant
