  1. the getaway on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 1

  3. programming waste on Oblivion Expansion Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Even with HDDVD and BlueRay game developers are going to have to start writing more elegant games or they will end up using up there new 50+ gig media without adding much real value to the game.

  4. best of both worlds on Researchers Developing Single-Pixel Camera · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why could this idea be combined with the current technology. Millions of mirrors AND thousands if not millions of photo detectors would allow faster exposure times without as much waste as current CCD digital cameras.

  5. ignore the users on Mossberg - Vista Is Worthy, Largely Unexciting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Windows Vista is not going to be the godsend to users like microsoft made it out to be. Instead of focusing on user needs and wants, microsoft design with its own profitability in mind, ie DRM, licensing, authenication, certified drivers, and of course protected premium content (HD). A compnay has every right to do this but I think it is going to backfire unless microsoft starts working with users instead of against them.

    It just makes sense that a communist government would adopt linux. These headlines will become too common as the developing world steps into the computer age.

    I wonder if flooding the world with Stinger shoulder fired missles was a good idea in retrospect?

  8. Campus Printers on Printers Vulnerable To Security Threats · · Score: 4, Interesting

    On many if not most college campuses the printers are administered and accounted for my a system tied to a student id. Each student can get so many free prints per semester and can pay per print after exceeding that. Malicious code executing on a print server could sniff all the student accounts accessing the printer.

  10. what a waste on Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I can only imagine what I would do if I had that much free time. I barely even find time for sleep. This guy should be going something more productive in my humble opinion.

  11. BT hijacked on IsoHunt Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    The MPAA is essentially hijacking bittorrent technology for their own greedy uses. We will see non-regulated bittorrent become a relic of internet as we know it.

  12. paid upgrades on HP Disables VT On Some Intel Laptops · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If HP released this upgrade in functionality with a firmware update, would the previous article on /. entitled "Apple Charges For 802.11n, Blames Accounting Law" link - http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/16/ 2127204 violate the same Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

  15. Double edged sword on The Trouble With Software Upgrades · · Score: 1

    This problem is very much a double edged sword. As a developer, I want the users of my applications to have the newest features and latest bug fixes. It is also very helpful from a support (POV) to have every user on a current version. The dark side is frequent updates and a lack of previous versions can cause major headaches for the user.

  16. Dominate Media Type on Time To Stop Calling Them Games? · · Score: 3, Funny
    It is not hard to see that many if not most media types will converge. Games are the current media type that are developing and perfecting the virtual world interface. I predict a convergence of all media and communications into Sims-like game that simulates (optimizes) your day to day life. - yada yada - Games will dominate.

  20. The NY Times should not profit. on NY Times Op-Ed Page Goes Subscriber-Only · · Score: 1

    The NTTimes should not have the right to profit from the media attention that has been put on them. An article they published was responsible for riots and murders, still they use the event to make some more money from online sales.
