  1. Re:My personal database.. on E-mail As the New Database · · Score: 1

    Actually, I use to feel that way until Gmail rolled around. Gmail seems to have a 99.9% success rate for blocking spam for me and since I only get around 10 spam a day, checking to see if there's any good things in that spam folder is quite easy.

  2. My Computer? on New Releases for Debian and SUSE · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else notice the "My Computer" icon? Eww

  3. Quote on U.S. Fed Goes Brand Neutral · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "The increased competition will lower the cost to taxpayers (though the money will still get spent somewhere)" So, the taxpayers never see a penny. How is this good news?

  4. Re:Why? on Wikipedia Planning a DVD Version · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It makes sense for laptops which aren't always online. If you're writing a paper on your laptop and want to look something up, but can't easily get to a hotspot.

  5. Re:Fertility is a big problem on Gene Therapy Ages Human Cancer Cells in Lab · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think loosing fertility is a suitable side-effect for most people with cancer. If this works 100% or at least if you can tell if it will work or if it won't, then most people will be happy to give up their fertility in exchange for ridding their body of a potentially deadly enzyme. Also, this will be a wonder drug for seniors, who could most likely care less about fertility and who chemotherapy will make incredibly weak and not worth living.

  6. Re:There is more than meets the Eye on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 1

    I don't get it... anyone care to explain?

  7. Re:I cant say I blame them on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    The problem with this is that people don't even bother to read articles about exploits, not even if they're dumbed down. Remember, we aren't talking about people who read Slashdot every day here. You might serve 1% of the computing community if you do this.

  8. Re:slashdot youve lost your touch..... on Web Browsing on Your PSP · · Score: 1

    You must be new...

  9. Re:booo... not user unfreindly enough!!!! on GNOME Ignoring its Own Users? · · Score: 1

    This just in: vi is dead due to unpopularity and inability to listen to it's userbase

  10. Real name? on Blog Content Based Solely on High Paying Keywords · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is Doug Nelson the poster's /real/ name?

  11. Their "building" on Nanotech Brings Battery Life Extender for Mobiles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The picture of their building was obviously taken from this site.

  12. Re:Isn't this violating the GPL? on Planeshift Enters Open Testing · · Score: 1

    Umm.. it's not violating the GPL. Only the code is avaliable under the GPL, and you're free to do whatever you want with that. The things that aren't under the GPL are the art and the RPG rules, which the Planeshift team has determined are vital to keeping the game successful and unified. You're free to pick and choose what's released under the GPL and what's not, if it's your material. Hell, they could've decided that only certain source files were to be released under the GPL, and that would be perfectly legal.

  13. New idea? on Is RSS Doomed by Popularity? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure someone's already thought of this, but what if the RSS reader was required to submit the "code" of the latest feed that was recieved. Then, the only thing that would be sent to the reader were the more recent articles.

  14. Re:But does it work on Windows? on RAD with Ruby · · Score: 1

    http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl Yep

  15. Re:i read my mail on Thunderbird 1.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    But how do you send mail, without a good text editor?

  16. Re:Laziness on WiFi Seeker, Finder, Detector Roundup · · Score: 1

    But what if you're in say, a park? Are you going to want to walk all through the park, opening your laptop every 5 minutes to see if this place has WiFi yet?

  17. Re:Pre-existing Business Relationship on Do-Not-Call List Could Be Opened For Phone Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    And when we say 'us', we mean the company that recently phoned the company down the street from our sister company which resides in Malaysia. And of course, we had records of all of this, but we recently put them in the paper shreader and then burned it, for your security's sake.

  18. Account Suspended on Home-made Portable PlayStation 2 · · Score: 1

    Ouch

  19. Re:Sure, so long as (offtopic, sorry) on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    Because if you kill someone, they can actually justify putting you in jail for 20 years to most people. People like to think that they're safe as long as they don't kill someone while drunk, even if they don't have much control over what they do while drunk

  20. The Patent on Dell Infringes on Patent by Selling Overseas? · · Score: 2, Informative
  21. Time to.. on NTT DoCoMo Debuts Credit Card Phone · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...go get my tin foil hat ironed.

  22. Re: I'll try it... Execution results! on Beware 'Fedora-Redhat' Fake Security Alert · · Score: 1

    It probably fails because it's on Knoppix and cannot create another user.

  23. Nvidia/ATI on Free Software Friendly Graphics Card? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They may have the best drivers for their card in two years, but I don't see how they can compete with Nvidia/ATI even with opensource drivers

  24. Re:Yep. and give everyone a free gun on Software Piracy Due to Expensive Hardware, Says Ballmer · · Score: 1

    Actually, it could, by the same effect nuclear proliferation had. If everyone has a gun, no one wants to use it for the fear that the other will use his against you.

  25. Isn't that... on Frame Dragging by Earth Reconfirmed · · Score: 2, Informative

    What one of the recent satelites was sent up to do?
