  1. It's rather exactly the thing rpm's are on Microsoft Patents Package Management · · Score: 1

    I think that there are at least two issues:


    - Every rpm-db is something like a registry, one may save some records. Registry doesn't mean exactly Windows-Registry

    - Read the lower part - there's no longer any registry mentioned

  2. One looses, another one wins on Tech Stocks Tumble · · Score: 1

    Ok, stocks are falling.

    But we have to see the good side of it. Now those who are just interested in the fast money jumped off and people *interested* in taking part in the technology sector may buy the shares,
    people like /. readers.

    -- just a thought, no claim to be the one and only reality

  3. One question on U.S. Gov. Space/Air Force Possible Plans For Future · · Score: 1

    What is understood by "Global Area Strike System"?

    Does that mean, the next moment I look out of the window my neighbour's house could be destroyed by some sort of satellite weaponry?

  4. Even if not this time - There could be another one on Microsoft IIS4 Backdoor Claim Retracted · · Score: 1

    Even if there is no security hole at that, webadmins at M$ software using sites should start to think.


    This one was no danger.


    Who knows really that there is no other, real, backdoor.


    Is it responsible to have a web-site running a time bomb?

  5. Re:This could be a good thing on Germany Withdraws Open Source Article · · Score: 1

    This will be a good thing! c't already anounced to put an article on it in their next issue(I think - monday?). And others will follow. But not to forget: the German government is already sponsoring open source projects like the GNU Privacy Guard.

  6. Dangerous jokes! on Microsoft Certified Professional Action Figures · · Score: 1

    Warning:

    Bad jokes included could do harm to geeks under the age of 3.

  7. Book included! on Microsoft Certified Professional Action Figures · · Score: 2

    And not to forget:


    The booklet "Teach FUD yourself within two weeks!" - the ultimate FUD guide to build up your own monopoly.

    Buy it now!

  8. Self-Repairing on Hubble Space Telescope Goes Into Safe Mode · · Score: 1

    it would be much more reliable when it could do some repairs itself or let them being done by AI or remote controlled robots

    but I then want one for my car too!

  9. hope for other countries like Austria on German Government donates 250,000 DM to GNU Privacy Guard · · Score: 1

    I hope other countries like Austria, where Enfopol has been supported by some politicians, will take this as a sign to protect human rights
    there has something to change, especially when the chancellor of Austria has studied computer science(although it is a very long time ago...)
    probably he understands but he is a politician too...
    let's hope the best

  10. people whose only intent is to harass on Usenet Gag Order · · Score: 1

    "In recent years, groups of individuals have emerged on Usenet whose only intent is to harass"
    -->
    should these people who only disturb normal conversation not be sentenced in another way?
    it could be that some of them have problems emerged from subconscious agressions, and stuff like that
    probably this type of troublemaker is just in need for an appropriate psychological treatment?

  11. photos of the planet on Extrasolar Planet Detected Visually · · Score: 1

    why not use the gravity of sun as lens and take some very nice photos of the planet...
    but that would need a telescope to be sent to the outer rim of our solar system and so we would have to wait a few years for some nice pictures

  12. would be a nice mirror on My Christmas Wishlist Monitor · · Score: 1

    take a camera, connect it with your computer and you'll have a nice mirror...

  13. discussion on Two Spammers Murdered in New Jersey · · Score: 1

    I know people who really don't care about discussions
    but, you're right, these people won't use slashdot for discussing their spam-mail and that's the difference
    it's your own decision to use slashdot, but when being spammed by email you are forced to receive this and you can't easily start a discussion with the other person

  14. what next on Two Spammers Murdered in New Jersey · · Score: 0

    when sending out spam is a reason for murdering someone, what comes next?
    what, if someone doesn't like your comments on slashdot and then he tries to get your adress...
    ok, that's probably too much paranoia

  15. Many Delphi developers in Europe on Zona Research Does Programming Language Poll · · Score: 1

    There are many developers using Delphi in Europe, especially in Germany.
    I think it is called "Delphi-Developers-Conference", where more developers are attending this event than in N. America

  16. Side-effects on Linux Counter Hits 120,000 · · Score: 1

    go and ask your doctor about the side-effects from being /.ed...

  17. Sensible data on Linux Counter Hits 120,000 · · Score: 1

    I'm concerned about the security of the submitted data, especially the one about me and my machines running linux
    Is it necessary for them to know how many entries are in the /etc/passwd file?

  18. Music is not only fun... on Ask Slashdot: What Music do you Code By? · · Score: 1

    it lets me code more efficiently
    even if something goes really wrong, the right music often prevents me from turning mad

  19. think they're right on World Wide Web "Shrinking" · · Score: 1

    when i got an internet account in 1995(or 94, 96?)
    I was used to browse more different sites per day

    now I have my prefered news site(try to guess which one ;-)
    files download site, etc.

    it's faster than searching the net by using big services like yahoo

  20. Nothing new on Now Police Can 'See' Through Walls · · Score: 1

    more dangerous are tools for spying on ordinary citizens, or tools to have complete control - Big Brother is watching you ?

  21. Reg. Agreement on Domain Name Price War Begins · · Score: 1

    This "Registration Agreement" seems to be a bit confusing, why is the bottom of the page unreadable? Is this a way to show customers that the cheap price is not a trick? I would not trust such offers.
