  1. Re:So why on Diary Illuminates Einstein's Last Years · · Score: 1

    It might have been because it was in German. For those who don't know how to speak it, that does present a considerable obstacle.

  2. Re:people were laying across borders on Operation FastLink Yields Three Arrests · · Score: 1

    You can check the page history to see how recently it has been changed. Not a foolproof method, but will show blatant manipulation. They keep previous versions stored as well.

  3. Re:$32K a month is enough.... on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    640K ought to be enough for anybody.

  4. Interactive Fiction... on Interactive Fiction Competition Opens · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...by the esteemed David Wong. Warning: some of these stories will be quite possibly the stupidest thing you'll ever read.

  5. Re:Intriguing on Linux Advocacy in Ethiopia: A Traveller's Journal · · Score: 1

    Well, in nations like these that are extremely poor, I think the only obstacle to open source adoption is lack of knowledge, as price would be a definite benefit.

  6. Re:Not far from truth on The Average PC is Infested with Spyware · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I reccommend Firefox to every single person I know. I run Spybot and Adaware pretty regularly, and haven't had a single bad thing turn up since January. Not a single solitary cookie. You can go into the Preferences menu and have it ask you if you want to accept a cookie. I deny cookies unless I know I'm going to need them to log in, like to slashdot. Like this, I've been free for a long time.

    In a related note, a friend who uses AOL and IE, and had the install for only 1 (one) year. After one year of usage, Adaware turned up three thousand things it deemed as "bad."

  7. Re:wow on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 1

    The only problem is, you need a relatively good computer for this. You would have been able to play a game about as good as this on a much slower processor with much less RAM years ago. And though it requires a processor that was new about a year or two ago, I can play games of comparable quality on a Pentium II 400 MHz with RAM expanded to 384 MB. I don't see the extra efforts and extra requirements as advantageous.

  8. Re:How to remove these devices? on Automobile Black Box Sends Driver to Jail · · Score: 1

    They can be removed by a simple procedure requiring a screwdriver and three beers.

    They still might be required by law, but the punishment will likely be a fine for not having one rather than a conviction based on the data they recovered.

  9. Re:In Google We Trust on Forbes Reviews Google's Gmail [updated] · · Score: 1

    If you really want to protect your correspondences, check out JavaScrypt, a Javascript based MD5 encryption site. Explanations of why Javascript are inside.

  10. Re:Will anyone give a fuck about a "net-wide prote on Second Round of EU Patent Fight, Coming Up · · Score: 2, Informative

    Thousands of concerned Internet users in "turning its web pages black" in protest of President Clinton's signing the unconstitutional "Communications Decency Act" in 1995. People paid attention then.

  11. Re:So where do all these phones land? on Listen to the Sky · · Score: 1

    Expecting people to read the article? You must be new here.

  12. Re:They Just Don't Get It on Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive · · Score: 1

    Madonna fucked up the Bond franchise, not Britney Spears.

  13. Re:grace on Humanoid Robot Conducts Beethoven Symphony · · Score: 1

    The only way it could play like that would be by copying a human's performance. In that case they'd just as well have a video screen.

  14. Re:Guy knows his stuff... on Moore's Law Limits Pushed Back Again · · Score: 1

    Perfect vaccuums wouldn't have any particles allowing for the heat to be transferred away from the chip, and imperfect ones would have very few. Perhaps (slightly) higher pressure conditions would aid in the dispersion of heat.

  15. Re:That explains on Moore's Law Limits Pushed Back Again · · Score: 1

    It causes problems with using a condom. I wouldn't know because I don't have a girlfriend. I post on slashdot and had a dream last night that I got 5 moderator points.

  16. Re:WORKING MIRROR on Make Your Own TRON Costume · · Score: 4, Informative
  17. WORKING MIRROR on Make Your Own TRON Costume · · Score: 5, Informative
  18. Dangers of crashing? on Automobiles Evolve to Live Up to Their Name · · Score: 1

    The only question would be, how often would these cars crash if they had Windows running on them?

  19. Re:Alright, this isn't even funny. on US Expands Fingerprint and Mugshot Program for Visitors · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes, I was being sarcastic. This is a gross violation of civil liberties. We need to stop these actions on the part of the Bush administration.

    George W Bush: Civil Rights Hero!

  20. Re:Alright, this isn't even funny. on US Expands Fingerprint and Mugshot Program for Visitors · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bah, don't worry, It's only the foreigners who are having civil liberties violated. But they're not citizens, so it doesn't matter, right?

  21. Re:Canadians Are Evil on Music Industry Loses In Canadian Downloading Case · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yup, we'd better invade them. Maybe they've got oil somewhere...

  22. Safer way on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Matrix style plugging into something somewhere, and projecting yourself into reality there. Sure, you won't actually be transporting, but you won't know the difference, and it'll be instantaneous. Seems workable, although I'm just a little leery of the needle in the back of my skull.

  23. Re:Slashdot, the ultimate social network on PeopleAggregator - An Open Source Social Network · · Score: 1

    Actually, that would be two degrees, Me Cowboy Neal You.

  24. It's not all bad... on China Blocks Typepad, Prompts Weblog Blackout · · Score: 1

    I mean, just like a stopped clock is right twice a day, they do have a great idea going: no blogs. I wouldn't mind getting rid of all blogs on the internet. At least I'd get better results on Google.

  25. Re:Sim City 2000 on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    You never start with fusion, although it is the first newspaper article you get when you start in 2050, "Scientists discover Fusion."
