  1. "We've had only a few major redesigns since 1997" on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 0

    Check out Slashdot from May 1998:
    http://web.archive.org/web/199...

    The way the landing page looks hasn't changed much since then. Dice says "it's time for a redesign". Why? The site has never had such a significant change in the way it looks like Beta is trying to pull off. If it isn't broken, don't touch it! Fix the old bugs and let us carry on.

  2. Bitcoins are the future. Betacoins are here! on Florida Arrests High-Dollar Bitcoin Exchangers For Money Laundering · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We are Dice. Lower your standards and surrender your community. We will add all your story submissions and any associated posts to BETA. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

  3. Re:I love the new Beta! on Russia Bans Bitcoin · · Score: -1

    In Soviet Russia, BETA boycotts you!

  4. Millions flowing into a sh*tty project... on Australia's Bureau of Meteorology Dumps Water Data Project · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... that sounds exactly like BETA!

    Let's stick with the old layout Mmkay?

  5. Re:Fuck NSA ! Fuck GCSB ! Fuck GCHQ ! on New Zealand Spy Agency Deleted Evidence About Its Illegal Spying On Kim Dotcom · · Score: 1

    Fuck beta!

  6. Sharks with frickin lasers on Many Lasers Become One In Lockheed Martin's 30 kW Laser Weapon · · Score: 5, Funny

    I know where I would attach that - to a shark's head! Imagine that - sharks with frickin lasers strapped to their heads, and hookers too! In fact forget the sharks.

  7. Re:Typo? on Security Researchers Want To Fully Audit Truecrypt · · Score: 1

    Looking at the current state of science you can only trust what's in your grey matter. Anything outside that can be listened to / intercepted or otherwise processed by the NSA.

  8. Re:That is what you get... on Shots Fired At US Capitol · · Score: 1

    In most European countries this kind of outcome for a simple car chase is unthinkable. It's almost as if the US cops were looking for an excuse to start shooting. Sure the car can be considered a weapon, but she was just fleeing (for whatever reason), definitely not warranting the on-the-spot death penalty.

  9. There's an app for that ALREADY. on New App Aims To Track Your Dreams · · Score: 1

    Thank me later.

  10. GreenSQL vs mod_security on GreenSQL is a Database Security Solution, says CTO David Maman (Video) · · Score: 1

    So, how exactly is GreenSQL a better approach than mod_security? AFAIK it is possible to just filter out all attempts at injecting MySQL statements with mod_security.

  11. Re:Does this mean.... on Google ReCAPTCHA Cracked · · Score: 1

    Duh, ask a colleague, friend or roommate?

  12. Re:Tag on Vint Cerf, US Congresswoman Oppose Net Regulation · · Score: 2
    FTFA:

    Mack - who is the incoming Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade within the United States House Energy and Commerce Committee - wasn't a lone voice in opposing efforts to police the internet in the wake of WikiLeak's 'Cablegate' fiasco. A US Congressional hearing calling for criminal charges against WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange was also played down as "extreme".

  13. Re:Looks like it'll just be Fallout with swords! on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Announced for November 2011 · · Score: 1

    Woosh!

  14. Let's get this out of the way on Wikipedia Reveals Secret of 'The Mousetrap' · · Score: 1
  15. Privacy breach on Canonical Begins Tracking Ubuntu Installations · · Score: 1

    What's so shocking about this is that no user permission is required. And no information is provided about what records Canonical keeps. IP addresses?

  16. Re:Welll on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 1

    The answer Slashdot is probably expecting:
    "I'm not switching to AC voltage, like ever.
    Edison pwnz Tesla."

  17. Re:Well that's embarassing on Rosetta Disk Designed For 2,000 Years Archive · · Score: 1

    No it isn't. Pico is!

  18. Re:Still waiting for robot cars on EU Reserves a Frequency For Talking Cars · · Score: 2, Funny

    All except the car in front!

  19. Re:FOR AMERICANS, this isn't a huge problem... on Schneier, UW Team Show Flaw In TrueCrypt Deniability · · Score: 1

    > But I also don't take a lappy outside the US. It seems that some US agencies, if inclined to do so, are willing to take people outside the US just for the sole purpose of treating them according to foreign laws. Just a matter of how badly they want to know what you know...

  20. Optical Principles on Harrods Sells Holographic TV · · Score: 1

    Harrods didn't exactly reinvent the wheel, it's been around for quite a while:
    http://www.kingmaker.co.uk/holopro.htm

    "Optical Principles

    The Holo Screen is a hologram in the form of a thin film, laminated to a transparent acrylic plate. This hologram will only respond to light rear projected from 30-35. All other light - such as sunlight and other ambient light - is ignored. The Holo Screen has a gain of 3.2 at 30-35 horizontal projection angle. The hologram is very selective about the direction from which it receives the light. This makes it suitable for use in the most extreme cases of ambient light, such as shop windows. The holographic film is designed in such a way that the screen remains transparent where there is no projected image. This allows users to be creative in the content and images used on the screen. The holographic film consists of four holograms which are tiled together in the manufacturing process, so the film appears as one full hologram."
