  2. He travelled to France on Microsoft Infected by Virus · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The person travelled to France

    Freedom Fries?

  3. Re:Too strong a word. on Building Secure Computers? · · Score: 1


    Editor is too strong a word for what is done by Slashdot staff. Person who clicks button to approve story is far more accurate, although lacking a certain panache.


    Person?
    I thought slashdot had appointed trained monkeys to do this as a part of it's last cost cutting exercise.

  4. Re:Wrong subject on New MRI Technique Can Detect Diabetes · · Score: 1

    Actually the correct subject is "Linux cures diabetes caused by Microsoft."

  5. Re:Say What? on Google Techs, Webmasters Mingle · · Score: 4, Funny


    I mean, it reads like a random collection of thoughts about Google.


    For a moment, I thought you were describing slashdot in general, not this particular article.

  9. Broadband over gas lines !!! on Web Access Over Power Lines · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I first thought that it was either an Onion or
    Borowitz report article.

    I think I'll wait for my BWL - Broadband over Water Connection Lines?

  10. Re:Hams on Web Access Over Power Lines · · Score: 1, Funny


    The article was light on the details of why the hams are opposed to this


    They are worried that the spam may interfere with
    the ham.

  11. Re:Here's why on Top Level .xxx Domain Concept Under Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    Ok. Someone *PLEASE* explain to me why the HELL people get all worked up over a nude body.


    Because most people here at Slashdot haven't seen any nude body except their own.

    dying?

  13. Re:Good luck... on Aussie Speed Cameras in Doubt Because of MD5 · · Score: 1


    American traffic magistrates (at least in WA) would not even understand what an "algorithm" is.


    What are the American Traffic Magistrates doing in Western Australia (WA) in the first place?

    Napster
    I don't see the attraction. A centralized database where your connections can be tracked and you are at the bandwidth mercy of a single uploading server. No thanks. I'll stick with BitTorrent.


    Huh!

    This is like looking at a wheel & saying that it's
    a useless invention - I'll stick with a car.

      and shut down the internet...


    Yes, other than helping us in the war against terror, it will also help the children.

  17. Re:Arabic Translators on Terrorists Move to Cyberspace · · Score: 1


      This is all the more reason the US govt and the CIA need to invest heavily in recruiting and training Arabic translators.


    Or get everybody's favourite software company to code an arabic translator

  18. Re:Ultimate Killer App on Visual Studio Hacks · · Score: 3, Insightful


    By the way, does Visual Studio ship with the source to the runtime libraries so's you can step the debugger through them? No? (Delphi does.)


    Actually, VS also ships with sources for the Runtime Library - go check your install again.

  19. Other news on Hiring Good Programmers Matters · · Score: 5, Funny

  20. From an open source beer advocate on Free Beer That's Free as in Speech · · Score: 3, Insightful


    If this recipe were code, it wouldn't compile.


    Don't whine. Just fix the bugs in the recipe & check
    in the fix. That's what open source beer is all about.

  21. Budweiser Here on Free Beer That's Free as in Speech · · Score: 1, Redundant

    As a Budweiser representative, I am going to be filing a lawsuit on this open source beer thingy. I think we contributed to the SVR4 version of this recipe & hence this recipe partly belongs to us. We are going to be filing lawsuits on anybody who gets drunk on this beer.

  22. Re:Q: Why kill OS/2? A: Support Costs. on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1


    Supporting an operating system can be very expensive. Consider all the device drivers
    and such.


    Somebody who hasn't upgraded from OS/2 till now
    would probably have not upgraded the devices attached to his machine - so no new device drivers are needed.

  23. What is needed? on Asa Dotzler on Why Linux Isn't Ready for the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Linux needs to run on Windows just like Firefox does. That will ensure that mom, dad & grandma use it.

    How is this anti-trust? Do Intel Compilers have a monopoly?

  25. Mod Parent Troll on Flurry of Security Patches · · Score: 1

    It says something bad about Open Source. That's
    just not acceptable here.
