  1. Re:Why do you rob banks? on Eavesdropping on a Botnet · · Score: 1
    What do you think the C&C machines are running?
    I dunno, maybe Command and Conquer? Dumbass...
  2. Re:Honycomb? on Molecules Spontaneously Form Honycomb · · Score: 1

    Most likely. Although it could also be from a broken 'two' repository.

  3. U3 sucks infinitely on Is the U3 Smart Drive Encryption Any Good? · · Score: 1

    Go look for the Geek Squad U3 Remover immediately.

  4. Re:Honycomb? on Molecules Spontaneously Form Honycomb · · Score: 1

    No, he either is tongues or of a tongue. Or for a tongue. Learn your declensions.

  5. Re:Free and non-free don't treat users the same wa on ESR Advocates Proprietary Software · · Score: 1

    You exclude the effect of the modifications on the quality of the software(almost exclusively positive)

  6. 7-second rule on Computer Voodoo? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Whenever I boot from Windows to Linux, I have to turn the power strip off for seven seconds for the network card to work.

  7. Re:Does it use on The Military Aims to Develop 'Smart' & Secure WiFi · · Score: 1

    Correction: Samantha Carter will be able to completely reprogram it and add remarkeable features merely by rearranging six or seven variously colored gem cut crystals.

  8. Re:Does it use on The Military Aims to Develop 'Smart' & Secure WiFi · · Score: 1

    It's more like: "If I tell you, I'll have to kill you"

  9. Does it use on The Military Aims to Develop 'Smart' & Secure WiFi · · Score: 3, Funny

    reverse-engineered Goa'uld technology?

  10. Re:will you still need me, will you still feed me on Gaming When We're 64 · · Score: 1
    activating blast doors on starships.
    It's a blast door. *sticks a second block of C4 on*
  11. Asperger's Syndrome != Stress on IT Workers Face Dangerous Stress · · Score: 1

    Asperger's Syndrome is a form of autism. It can lead to being a stressed out geek but it is not the same thing.

  12. Re:Riiiiiiiiiight... on Are Liquid Explosives on a Plane Feasible? · · Score: 1

    Except that Sharia doesn't claim to be anything other than it really is.

  13. Re:Linux needs to get its act together on Linux's iPod Generation Gap · · Score: 1

    Wow, never knew there would be a post worse than the "Quake 3 on Linux" crapula.

  14. Re:user icons on Experiences with Replacing Desktops w/ VMs? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Because avatars on a forum of this size(or even anything approaching such) are a disaster waiting to happen? It only works for Digg because theirs are so small you're better off sticking with the default. And it works for GateWorld because you have to get a certain post number for a custom av and the mods fully delete posts.

  15. Re:drop dead, Sun on Java to be Open Sourced in October · · Score: 1
    Solaris is a proprietary BSD derivative
    No it's not. BunOS was, but they changed the name to Solaris when they changed from BSD to SysV.
  16. Re:...err on Real to Offer Open Source Windows Media for Linux · · Score: 1

    Because it would be incredibly hard for an old Tandy to detect the necessary patterns on a modern computer for a Trusting Trust hole.

  17. Re:in other news on Wii Version of Twilight Princess to Require Wiimote · · Score: 1

    Except that the 360 and ps3 controllers aren't that much different from their predecessors.

  18. Re:Slashdot = Myspace for nerds on Social Networks Gaining on Internet Portals · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Good on Java to be Open Sourced in October · · Score: 1

    My first guess would be the lack of (good?) libaries for database access and gui applications.

  20. Re:what about other languages on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    Indeed, Daniel Jackson. For example, German has y and z swapped because z is much more common than y in German.

  21. Re:Acid Test on Microsoft Insists IE7 is Standards Compliant · · Score: 1

    WRONG. Acid2 is about the corners of CSS implementation.

  22. Re:cut MS some slack on Microsoft Insists IE7 is Standards Compliant · · Score: 5, Funny

    For example, a Slashdotter got a girlfriend, that's proof that anything is possible.

  23. Re:...err on Real to Offer Open Source Windows Media for Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless we use Real's compiler I doubt that a Trusting Trust problem will happen. If there's a deliberate problem it would be obfuscatory.

  24. Re:...err on Real to Offer Open Source Windows Media for Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's open source. We'll just change what's inside the gifts from Greeks so it won't be dangerous.

  25. Re:Yeah, but... on Social Networks Gaining on Internet Portals · · Score: 2, Funny

    You do know that porcupine8 and AriaStar are actually just computer programs simulating girls, right?
