  1. Re:Make that three. on Windows Beat Unix, But it Won't Beat Linux · · Score: 1

    SGI wasn't mentioned in the original interview.

  2. Re:Reorg overdue on Sony To Cut About 10K Jobs · · Score: 1

    This is common in Japanese corporations. Keiretsu

  3. Re:Whew! on Blogging As A Form Of Therapy · · Score: 1

    No, he mentioned it. There's a difference

  4. Re:Heavy elements on Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Not to mention 745.4 times the mass of all the planets combined.

  5. Re:Um... on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1

    sudo doesn't give permanent write access to /bin!

  6. Re:The trustworthiness of the Mozilla Foundation.. on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1

    People, this is why sensationalized news is a bad thing.

    There have been absolutely no details given, and there is no corroborating evidence from a different source. You are losing trust in Mozilla based on the word of an anonymous stranger. Maybe you never trusted them in the first place.

  7. Re:Um... on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1

    That's what sudo is for.

  8. source? on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 3, Informative
    Where does this information come from? I can't find any corroborating story from another source. However, I did find this bit of trivia here:
    Those hackers could just as well have served people distributions of Firefox infected with a virus.

    They could have easily replaced the app signatures to match the infected binaries.
  9. Re:insane on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Right. If I remember correctly, he was a contractor, and he was still fired for posting those photos (of Mac G5s arriving at the receiving dock)

  10. Re:What? on Jobs Resists Music Industry Pressure · · Score: 1

    Convenience?

    Some places, it's still possible to find a store that will have friendly, knowledgeable staff. Staff that will recommend other music you might like. Sadly, the ever increasing downward pressure on prices will bring ALL personal niceties to an end.

  11. Re:Legal Action on The Chumbawamba Factor · · Score: 2, Informative

    Right. If they were really interested in what people were listening to, they'd invest more time in AudioScrobbler.

  12. Re:Whoops, no time! on The Chumbawamba Factor · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Rock on Chicago, Rock on London, Rock over RIAA."

    Shouldn't that be "RIAA sucks a llama's nuts"?

  13. Re:who? on Ulrich Drepper On The LSB · · Score: 1

    And this is more important to ask lately on Slashdot when it is fairly common to see links to pointless wankery on the main page that I often wish I hadn't bothered to read. This is what summaries are for.

  14. Re:who? on Ulrich Drepper On The LSB · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with listening and everything to do with LiveJournal being blocked at work. Do I bookmark this or let it go?

  15. who? on Ulrich Drepper On The LSB · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who is Ulrich Drepper, and why should I care about what he says on his LiveJournal?

  16. of course not on The Tech of Burning Man · · Score: 0, Redundant

    they smoke more than just pot at burning man!

  17. Re:Anti-Piracy or simple incompatibility? on Mac OS X Intel Build Addresses Pirating · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But that story sells fewer ad views.

  18. Re:Question about old Mac Viruses on Ready For the Big Mac Virus? · · Score: 1

    I thought Disinfectant took care of NVIR strains? Googling shows a couple worms that showed up after Disinfectant was discontinued.

  19. Re:Question about old Mac Viruses on Ready For the Big Mac Virus? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All the mac viruses I know about, save Office macro viruses, rely on users trading infected software back and forth. The last new one appeared in 1994, and was cleaned out by the free anti-virus program Disinfectant.

    Presumably, an old Mac virus could infect other files on a new Mac system, but they'd probably not be able to infect PowerPC code.

  20. Re:go to gmail on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    huh? google went public months ago.

  21. Re:Parent is joking, you moron moderators! on Ice-Free Summers Coming To Arctic · · Score: 1

    Read this post, please

    There is more ice melting than just the stuff floating in the Arctic Ocean.

  22. Re:Reminds me of... on Crunching the Math On iTunes · · Score: 1

    My "Unrated [infinity]" list does not fit on my iPod, and I have a 40GB. :(

  23. Re:Guise? on Lockheed Martin Hardware to Protect NYC Transit · · Score: 1

    Does it beep and say "low battery" when the battery goes? My apartment has that little feature since it's on land that's zoned for commercial use.

  24. Re:The wing shape isn't new... on Shape Changing Plane In Development · · Score: 1

    No, Mission Adaptive Wing is almost like a prehensile wing.

  25. Re:Today on Oxymoron Theatre: on X-15 Pilots Finally Get Astronaut Wings · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, props aren't very useful in space, for the same reason that wings aren't. /gets coat
