  1. Re:Since when is it the OSes responsibility.... on IBM Tells Employees To Hold Off WinXP SP2 · · Score: 0

    C'mon, you can't be fair by comparing closed-source software and open-software... just not the same

  2. IBM is smart on IBM Tells Employees To Hold Off WinXP SP2 · · Score: -1

    They know that Microsoft rushes their software out - better to let other people screw their computers up first, then learn from their mistakes.

  3. Re:Pringles - Available in Denmark? on Wireless Community Summit Tackles Digital Divide · · Score: 0

    ...don't plan on using Comcast, they have one of the most restrictive Terms of Service ever....

  4. Re:Just do what I do on Passwords - 64 Characters, Changed Daily? · · Score: 0

    I don't know, but there must be some logic to it - smart people usually know what they're talking about...

  5. PGP emailing on Deleting E-mail Could Get You In Trouble · · Score: 0

    I really wish that PGP signing/encryption of email would become a lot more commonplace... do you want to be prosecuted for an email that you didn't send? Email is, obviously, very insecure... on the other hand, you can't deny that it you sent if it's convenient :-D

    Another question: What if the government wanted to read an encrypted email? Would they demand you turn over your private key?

  6. Re:What can we do? on Patent Mess May Stifle Australian Software · · Score: 0

    Yeah it really makes no sense doesn't it....

  7. Version numbers on Mandrakesoft Releases 10.1 Beta1 · · Score: 0

    Is it just me, or does Mandrakesoft practice rather extreme version number inflation?

  8. Re:It doesn't interfere, silly on 2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? · · Score: 0

    Are the mods here this stupid? He's joking around!

  9. Moral of the story is.... on The Dark Side Of DefCon's Wireless Network · · Score: 1, Insightful

    don't use wi-fi for anything that might be even close to important :D

  10. Re:Who cares on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 0

    Hmm... my DX2 is clocked at 66mhz...

  11. Re:Wow Uni students can load Windows! on Cornell Builds Autonomous UAV · · Score: 0

    Come on - University students' software runs a lot of the internet, between BIND and (don't flame me) BSD

  12. Re:Who cares on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 0

    DX2 baby - the last of its kind

  13. Sites named after the founder on Craigslist Eyed for Possible Future IPO · · Score: 1, Funny

    Websites with people names in them just kind of fail in the long run... I mean, kids have their own websites with names like "Billy's Site" and they just don't have that "appeal" to em...

  14. Who cares on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 0, Troll

    My Intel 486 is still working fine, that's the best product they've ever made

  15. "Basic Computer Skills" on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 0

    Does that mean teaching students how to operate Windows? All that does is further support the Microsoft monopoly...

  16. Re:When is civil disobedience justified? on Australian Voting Software Goes Closed Source · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Its not like your vote matters anyway. Let's not forget the 2000 elections!

  17. Re:THERE ARE NO 503 ERRORS!! QUIT SPREADING LIES!! on Helix Player and RealPlayer 10 Released · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    No I've been getting them a lot... it usually works if I refresh a couple times though maybe slashdot has been slashdotted!

  18. Re:Slashdot slashdotted? on VirtualPC 2004 Versus VMWare 4.5? · · Score: 1

    No I was getting it too... hmmm.....
