  1. Re:We don't like reading spam either on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    You do!

    Just click the "Reply to This" button and add your "disagree mail"!

  2. Re:The real crime here... on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 1

    The IT Department is probably outsourced to the lowest bidder.

  3. Re:You were beaten to it on Nanotech Anode Promises 10X Battery Life · · Score: 1

    *The Ministry of Defence is kind of like the Pentagon, but without the competence.

    I'm confused. Is "competence" one of those words that means something completely different in British english?

  4. Re:Why reverse charges on Thieves Using Stolen Credit Cards to Make Donations · · Score: 1

    It has more to do with the fees that get charged to businesses by the credit card companies for outstanding fraudulent charges. If the charge is reversed before the credit card company discovers that it is fraudulent, there are no extra (punative) fees.

  5. Re:For sale on Digital Waste Worth More Than Gold, Copper Ore · · Score: 1

    Don't settle for used 1's and 0's!

    I am selling brand new 1's and 0's (still in the shrink wrap) for just $.01/kb!

  6. Re:What is the actual purpose? on Driver's License to be the Next Debit Card · · Score: 1

    What is the actual purpose?

    no credit card processing fees.

  7. Re:It uses the full tank as a baseline, not empty. on Hybrid Cars to Get New Mileage Ratings · · Score: 1

    You can eliminate this variability by keeping longer term averages. Four or more tank fills should be close enough. Keep in mind that the time of year (cold start temperature and driving conditions) can make a significant difference in MPG.

  8. "telescope-shaped" on TJX Breach Began With WEP Crack · · Score: 1

    Interesting euphemism for a Pringles can.

  9. Re:Guinness Wastage! on Print Messages On Your Beer · · Score: 1

    MORE random posts on /.

    hard to believe

  10. Re:Four drinks a day? on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    Sooo, are you hiring?

  11. Re:user 4417749's Search Records on The Face of One AOL Searcher Exposed · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points I'd mod up just for "4417749 McGyver DVDs"

  12. Re:this article on Google Pages Reviewed · · Score: 1

    yes. Something happened in the last 10 minutes or so. Hacked? Overloaded and intentionally redirected? Are they trying to irritate the FBI?

  13. Re:US thinks it's non free and they should know. on U.S. Investigating Sale of Snort as Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Employees == Slaves.

    Dude, you're moving to Israel! Maybee that's a stretch but the panel and the companies seem to think they own their employees. How insulting, but that's what a NDA is all about, isn't it?


    When selling a company that has a significant portion of its value based on the services of its employees, this is not unheard of. It is usually specified as a specific time period of continued employment. Presumably Sourcefire has compensated the employees in question sufficiently.

  14. supply and demand on There is No Open Source Community · · Score: 3, Insightful

    open source is much more about supply and demand

    Very true. If there was not a need, OSS would never have gotten started. If vendors had provided good quality, resonable cost software, OSS would not exist.

  15. Re:What did you expect? on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 1

    expplain to me how he is any more of a liability then before he gave notice.

    It is not that he is more or less of a liability, but rather that once the corporation realizes the liability, they must do something. If they do not, they could be considered negligent if something bad should happen.

  16. Re:Capitalism must suck on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 1

    Just because something isn't to your taste (or mine) doesn't make it "useless beef".

    Yes, but should I be forced to subsidize it?

  17. Re:Fines on Vonage 911 Deadline Passed · · Score: 1

    AT&T Callvantage has attempted to resolve the location issue by forcing user confirmation of current location (before outgoing calls are allowed, except 911) every time they think your adapter may have been moved (essentially any power loss).

    While this is somewhat brute force (how about just when the IP address changes instead), it appears to cover all cases (except user stupidity).

  18. part 2 - turn your turntable into a webserve on Old Floppy Drive Becomes New Turntable · · Score: 1

    That would be impressive!

  19. Re:silly timeline. on Jan 2009 Deadline for HDTV Cutoff · · Score: 1

    $99 is not that far off.

    I see $145 (plus shipping) for Samsung SIRT451 High Definition Terrestial ATSC, and it seems to have an S-video output option for compatibility with my NTSC television.

  20. google ESP? on Google Adds Movie Ratings, Times, Reviews · · Score: 1

    I checked the posted link and google offered me theaters in my area! I did not enter my ZIP.

    How did they know? My IP addresses location? Did they get my ZIP previously and record it?

  21. buy out at the end of lease on Is Leasing Really Worth It? · · Score: 1

    My experience has been that most items are bought out at the end of the lease, so you should figure that price in for the end of lease.

    Also, some leasing agencies do not break out individual items for buy out. It's an all or nothing deal.

  22. Re:digital signatures on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The resulting signature was so funny, I kept it.

    Hey, that's my signature!

  23. Re:Verizon's response is... odd. on Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites · · Score: 1

    "What's really pathetic is not Verizon but this sort of lame Web site..."

    I was surprised that Verizon attacked the site.

    The other eight were able to show some restraint when dealing with unhappy customers. That makes an interesting statement about Verizon.

  24. ok, we cause it... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    The real question is how will the earth repond long term? That's a little harder to predict.

  25. Re:Social Security on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If we live forever, we can work forever.
