  1. Absurd on Libraries Use DRM to Expire Audiobooks · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    It is precisely via these kind of absurd examples, that DRM and intellectual property is exposed for what it is: a charade.

    Why did they feel the need to do this? I just shake my head.

  2. Errr.. on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 0

    Maybe by examining the facts? Sensible people don't rely on advertisements. Check out WinFS yourself and come back to us when you think you see the DRM.

  3. Weak. on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 0

    That argument is simply lame. If you can't see the holes in it, you wouldn't understand if i explained them.

  4. Re:Give it a rest, OK? on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: -1, Troll

    MS have never actively tried to lock out samba users. They just haven't assisted them, which is their right.

  5. Give it a rest, OK? on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1, Interesting
    WinFS is an innovative step forward in filesystem design.

    You are (deliberately?) misunderstanding what WinFS is designed to accomplish. But like everyone else you seem to have made up your mind. Whereas you avoid mention of the numerous limitations that traditional filesystems like ext2 and even journalled filesystems have.

  6. No. on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1, Informative
    WinFS is not a DRM product. It may be used to implement a kind of DRM, but that is not Microsoft's fault.

    Check your facts please: the last thing people need is more FUD about what is and isn't DRM.

  7. MOD PARENT UP: not offtopic! on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 0

    It's not offtopic - WinFS is an important step in filesystem technology, and it is imperative that an open source alternative is made available.

  8. HAHAHAHAHAHA on College Libraries Without Books · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    and you can't honestly cite a work without even taking a moment to skim through it first.

  9. don't laugh on e-Scrabble gets Cease and Desist Order from Hasbro · · Score: 1

    that has happened to at least two actual slashdot-based sites.

  10. if you ... on Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support · · Score: 0

    dont know why it was coded as it was, you need to go back to school. do some research.

  11. Curious on 4-Way Sun Fire V40z Reviewed · · Score: 0, Troll
    In terms of multi Opteron processor support, FreeBSD would have been a more sensible choice. Its a shame that Sun didnt consider that option, simply because Linux has better value as a sales pitch.

  12. Yet another pointless slashdot post on Australian ISPs Required To Report Child Porn · · Score: 0, Informative
    You assume wrongly, reporting hearsay to the police is not required anywhere.

    surely its more efficient not to post until you have thought the question through?

  13. Nope on Microsoft Warns of Impossible to Clean Spyware · · Score: 0
    linux has loadable kernel modules, which makes the currently-discussed exploit type much easier to implement for an attacker.

    The first exploit in-the-wild that i remember was about 10 years back, called heroin.c. it did pretty simple things like modifying lsmod, rmmod, process tables etc. these days they are a lot more sophisiticated.

    if you think that changing to linux will save you from unrecoverable attacks, keep in mind that the new attacks you will have have been developed over decades.

  14. Expectations about technology on How VeriSign Could Stop Drive-By Downloads · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    expectations which you have failed to meet, since you have installed software which doesn't meet the users requirements.

    I know you think you are a k3wl H/\k/\r d00d because you can install linux on your sisters pc even though she wanted something better, but the rest of us know you are a dick.

  15. GNUstep + Darwin on Steve Jobs Demos NeXTSTEP 3.0 · · Score: 0
    This project is picking up steam now; Darwin seems the natural codebase to build GNUstep applications in.

    There is no downloadable release yet, but it will be a *serious* contender to GNOME and maybe even OSX.

  16. Oh please on RFID-Equipped Robots Used as Guide Dogs · · Score: 0

    There is a huge difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.

  17. Its just you on Defeating XP SP2 Heap Protection · · Score: 0
    I mean this in the nicest possible way, but please dont post crap like this. You just embarrass yourself.

    You even mentioned non-portability as an argument. Yours ranks among the stupidest posts I have seen in a long time.

  18. Any non cash payment is similar on Safeway Club Card Leads to Bogus Arson Arrest · · Score: 0

    For example if you pay with a credit card, exactly the same information is stored and can be retrieved, with a warrant. Nothing to do with safeways cards.

  19. rebuttal on Google Planning Web Browser? · · Score: -1

    FUCK YOUR DUMB.

  20. Wow on Cell Architecture Explained · · Score: 0
    Why do you post tripe like this?

    FYI Crays come (came) with huge quantities of libraries, preprocessors, compilers, schedulers, profilers, all designed to help efficiently use the hardware.

    Don't post comments they say nothing else than "I dont understand."

    You basically just said: excluding what is likely to be illegal, what remains is 99% legal.

    confusing the probability of an event happening with the actual event happening

    Actually, thats where i think you are confused.

    Anyway, this isn't the place for it.

  24. Re:I don't know if I can make this clear, but I'll on Scientific American on Quantum Encryption · · Score: 0
    It is a HUGE misconception that the cat is equally alive or dead, being as those are two fundamentally mutually exclusive properties. At any given point in time, there is a probability that the cat is either alive or dead.

    You have misconceptions of your own. I dont know your background but you haven't grasped why Schrodingers cat says something very different about the quantum world. You are trying to fit it into a classical viewpoint. (or trolling).

  25. Poor Info! on Intelsat Loses Another Satellite · · Score: 0

    Wikipedia is well off there .. for example the chinese government satellite organization has been bigger for some time, and Intelsat peaked around the early 1990's in terms of satellite numbers.
