  1. Re:Not to worry... on The Problem with DHS's Plan to 'Buy American' · · Score: 1

    Er, wouldn't that be against the point? That would make US products weigh more, and therefore, take up more of the allotment.

  2. ACLs on Longhorn to use UNIX-like User Permissions · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Unix permissions quite honestly suck. There's no way to allow some people to change a file, and others to only be able to read it without multiple groups. ACLs are the way to go :)

  3. Idiots on No More BitKeeper Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Doesn't BitMover realize that companies license their products due to Linus using it? Linus's sarcastic comments about BitMover just pushes companies away, as probably intended. Won't that just screw themselves over?

  4. Hubble on NASA Schedules Robotic Spacecraft Launch · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is there any way to use it to (attempt to) fix Hubble? There's not all that much risk, it would keep Hubble operational, and it would test robotic technology. Is the robot functional enough to carry out repairs?

  5. GPL on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If CherryOS is sued for this, won't this test the GPL furthermore? It might finally get a court to acknowledge that the GPL is not "unconstitutional" (*cough* SCO *cough)

  6. Re:qwertz keyboard? on Mobile Phone with PC running Linux 2.6 · · Score: 1

    German keyboard arrangement, most likely

  7. Collisions on PGP Moving To Stronger SHA Algorithms · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why not use two hashes? It's exponentially harder to find a collision that fits for two hashes, isn't it?

  8. Mirrordot Link on KLOSS KL-I915A - SFF With An Edge · · Score: 1, Informative
  9. OnStar on Cellphone Drivers Drive Like Drunks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OnStar is nothing like a cell phone. If you're using OnStar, you have most likely already crashed. It's a system for helping you when you're in trouble, not a cell phone with speaker phone enabled. Slightly useful service :)

  11. Mirrors on Amateurs Beat Space Agencies To Titan Pictures · · Score: 0

    Mirror links here and here courtesy of mirrordot

  12. Interesting on "Spam King" Agrees to Stop Spamming For Now · · Score: 1

    My server logs see a slight (4%) decrease in rejected email, but it's probably just noise. When will we see a significant drop in spam?

  14. Runs on WINE on IBM Grid Near 50,000 machines - Slashdot Users #13 · · Score: 4, Informative

    It seems to run on WINE for me, but I've only ran it for maybe 3 minutes now. I'm using TransGaming's Cedega (formerly WineX) version of WINE to run it though, so I'm not quite sure if it works with plain WINE.

  15. Mirrordot links: on Homemade Hypercube Case · · Score: 5, Informative
  16. PDAs on Setting up a High-Tech Language School? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Give/rent the students iPaqs running Linux. They have a huge "awesome" factor, and are useful too :)

  17. Enron on Employee Stock Options Must be Treated as Expenses · · Score: 1

    If only this happened before Enron...

  18. Re:Location on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    Well, I think virgin pulse was doing something here (read about it in the Post-Gazette), but it was about a month ago.

  19. Location on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Near Pittsburgh? I live in Pittsburgh. Is there a way I could obtain a cell phone that could tap into the digital TV service?

  20. Wait... on Palm OS To Run On Linux · · Score: 1

    Wait, will this be a linux window manager/(desk|palm)top environment, like GNOME, and KDE, or will it be a distribution of linux?

  21. Customers on HP Plots New Courses with HP-UX/Tru64 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What happens when their customers already committed to Tru64? Are they left out to dry? (My work was going to go to Tru64)

  22. Re:My Treo on More Problems for the Treo 650 · · Score: 1

    But what about it working using a bluetooth microphone?

  23. My Treo on More Problems for the Treo 650 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My friends (gasp!) have told me that whenever I used my Treo, it sounded like I was stutering, and they couldn't understand me most of the time. I tried my bluetooth headset, and it worked fine. Is this a microphone problem?

  24. Accuracy? on Search Engines for Handwritten Documents · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How good is the accuracy? The OCR technology of today might not be able to recognize the "flowery" text of most historical documents (look at "We the People" in the Declaration of Independence)
