  1. Re:Bild is s**t on Ladies and Gentlemen Allow Me to Introduce the Cat Car · · Score: 1

    The TV-Equivalent would probably be Fox News :)

  2. Re:Schrodinger on Ladies and Gentlemen Allow Me to Introduce the Cat Car · · Score: 4, Funny

    yes he would
    no he wouldnt

  3. Re:Johnson and Johnson on US Companies Sponsor Pro Gamers · · Score: 1

    other companies do however. I dont think its just limited to Johnson & Johnson

  4. Re:Johnson and Johnson on US Companies Sponsor Pro Gamers · · Score: 1

    especially for caffeine related products :)

  5. Re:Taxation? on GPL to be Modified to Penalize Patents and DRM · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They'd just tax the access point. Somewhere, all WiFi signals need a line to the rest of the internet.

  6. Re:Republicrats on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 1

    Leave for a better country, Canada perhaps.

  7. Giving SCO more rope to hang themselves with? on MySQL and SCO Join Forces · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Surely, with SCO as desperate as they are, and MySQL being their 'lifeline', they cant go all-out on the GPL as they have been in the press incase they anger the folks at MySQL?
    That being the case, is there any chance that IBM could pick up on this and run with it in their case vs SCO?
    "look here judge, SCO says the GPL is evil and unconstitutional but they're partnered with a company which uses it."

  8. Re:Torrent Storm on Linspire 5.0 Free For Limited Time · · Score: 1

    i doubt it. Torrents tend to get better the more people are on them, and im having no troubles downloading from it myself

    mod parent as funny pls :)

  11. Re:Hahaha. on New, Faster Attack against SHA-1 Revealed · · Score: 1

    im not too bothered.
    asked a question, got an answer - good enough for me :)

  12. Re:Solution? on New, Faster Attack against SHA-1 Revealed · · Score: 1

    this is precisely what i meant :) You could have a listing of hash values for crc, md5, all the way to sha-512. ( they could even be combined in a plaintext .hash file and automatically processed to verify the integrity of the file )

  13. Solution? on New, Faster Attack against SHA-1 Revealed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Im no expert but wouldnt using several different hashes on the same file be better?
    Sure you could get a hash collision in one or more of them but getting the collision to happen in all would be somewhat more tricky no?

  14. Re:Be wary? on FCC Wants to Track Wireless · · Score: 3, Insightful

    they better be transmitting more then the location otherwise the phone wouldnt work :).
    I agree with the main point you're making. The US is fast becoming an orwellian society imo

  15. Re:Blue Security on Spammers on the Run · · Score: 1

    heh. slightly ironic that it gets posted to slashdot then isnt it :)
    the /. effect > DDOS

    How long before we get a proper talkie toaster then
    like this :)

  17. aaah memories... on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It has given us Windows, sure, it was buggy earlier and a lot of things didn't work like they were supposed to (plug and play springs to mind)

    Did anyone else just remember back to that lovely lovely video of good 'ol Bill , and that scanner :)
    'Plug and play' *grin*

    thats downgrading.

  21. Re:Ahticle Text on Fuel-cell Vehicles for Americans · · Score: 2

    just noticed that myself. Methinks someones trying to sneak a troll in, and get modded informative.

  22. Re:Not True on House Limits Patriot Act Rules on Library Records · · Score: 1

    perhaps a fixed amount could be allocated from taxes only then - and donations to parties/individuals running for office forbidden.
    Removes the potential for the buying of interests doesnt it?

  23. thank you on Windows Nearly Ready For Desktop Use · · Score: 2

    this made me smile at least :)
