  1. Re:Link to get it on 1 Million Firefoxes in 4 Days · · Score: 1

    Camino is a damn sleek alernative to Firefox for OS X. It doesn't have as many features or extensions like Firefox, but its minimalism is quite appealing.

  2. Re:IBM... on The OS Community Embraces IBM · · Score: 1

    11. Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer

  3. Re:Whee on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    Last names are familiar names, not surnames -- IN JAPAN!

  4. Re:old tech? on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    I would hope that most CDs are mastered on monitors with a flat frequency response so they sound good on any speakers--or at least that's what they want us to believe :)

  5. Re:Audio: science plus magic on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    Clearly magic is preferable to science.

  6. Re:social engineering on Remote iChat Exploit Patched · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wonder how many Mac users get tricked into typing Alt+F4 only to wonder why nothing happens?

  7. Re:Still... on Open Source Security: Still A Myth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least OSS developers usually document known bugs. There's no manpage for Windows :)

  8. Re:Hardly "funny"... on MS-Sun Agreement Leaves Opening For OO.org Suits · · Score: 1

    They might have visceral reasons not to write for Linux, but MS does make Mac software.

  9. Re:Question Gravity? on Zero Gravity Flights for the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    It's from Confesssions of a Black Hole.

  10. Re:/.ed after 4 comments on General Solution for Polynomial Equations? · · Score: 1

    And here I was, planning to build a Beowulf cluster of cats in boxes! Don't I feel foolish now, thinking I was going to break all sorts of encryption schemes by factoring large numbers based on the ratio of living cats to dead cats.

  11. Re:Right in the middle of my Calc class too... on General Solution for Polynomial Equations? · · Score: 1

    Newton proved the laws of motion, and did a pretty damn good job at it too. Surely there's no point looking any further than his laws :)

  12. Re:At least it's got a limit... on Beat Spam By Not Using Email · · Score: 1

    Apple calls dibs on iMail!

  13. Re:What kind of zombies? on 20,000 Zombie PCs -- $3000 · · Score: 1

  14. Re:No wonder... on 20,000 Zombie PCs -- $3000 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The sad part is that she is a security expert compared to most people. If the majority of people didn't know that cars used internal combustion engines, you'd practically be a car wizard if you knew things like that the car has a transmission and different gears.

  15. Re:Actually, this is an old business model. on Altnet Sues Record Industry Over File Hash Patents · · Score: 0

    Because "the same clowns" pay the salaries of public servants, not CEOs.

  16. Re:Bobby Fischer in the ICC ? on Internet Chess Club Security Defeated · · Score: 1

    They had been living together for a while and didn't feel the need to get married. They're getting married now to try to prevent his deportation.

  17. Re:first of all... on Linear Video Editing Software for Mac? · · Score: 1

    What he needs is a known unknown. That is to say, we don't know, but we know that we don't know, as opposed to not knowing what it is that we don't.

  18. Ladies and Gentlemen... on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1

  19. Math? on Russian May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 4, Informative

    1,000,000 USD is about equal to 560,000 GBP, not 5.6 million GBP.

  20. Re:Boycott this color scheme! on On Moving Toward Software Rentals · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Can't you at least try to use some form of redirect or something? I mean, being a troll is bad enough, but you're a lazy troll. In the immortal words of Lao Tzu:

  21. Re:The real story, obviously... on Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2003-2004 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not reporting something because you don't think it's worth reporting, or you don't think people will care, or even because you're biased and don't want to report it is one thing. Not reporting it because you'll go to jail is another thing. The US government doesn't even "kind of" censor the media like in Russia. This is about media self-censorship. It is a serious problem, yes, but the problem is not tyranny.

  22. Re:Bunsen's Friends Supportive on Muppets Named Top Scientists · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yet somehow a Google search for "Muppets named top scientsists" brought up nothing :)

  23. Re:Holding out hope. on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Performance? on Database File System · · Score: 1
    They're probably not the ones running Linux :)

    But seriously, you don't have to be smart to understand computers, you just have to think logically. Most of the time I find when people can't understand how do to something on the computer, it's because they expect the computer to act like a human instead of a machine. I think this is part of the problem with Windows--being aimed at the lowest common denominator, it's more concerned with working when used improperly than excelling at being used properly. Hackers hate the paper clip for all the right reasons, and people like it for all the wrong reasons.
