  2. Re:No obligation... on Microsoft Admits Targeting Wine Users · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft is still not under ANY obligation to update YOUR emulator.

    Is it me, or is this starting to look like another Dr. DOS issue?

  3. Re:Would a math geek... on 42nd Mersenne Prime Probably Discovered · · Score: 1

    Although I normally don't do this .. but .. if you actually RTFA, it states:

    Mersenne numbers are numbers of the form Mn = 2n - 1. For example, M7 = 27 - 1 = 127 is a Mersenne number. In fact, since 127 is also prime, 127 is also a Mersenne prime.

    That was a cut-and-paste job btw.

    Well, you'd think the contrary on the first generation XBox!

  6. I guess it might be worth mentioning ... on Build a Database Driven Site -- Quick · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess it might be worth mentioning that when I built my first MySQL/PHP site, I used ADOdb. ADOdb is pretty slick! This is comming from a person who:

    1. Never programed in PHP! (Hell, never programed in ANYTHING before)
    2. Never did ANYTHING database related before!

    An all-general newbie to this kind of stuff. In one day, I learned how to create tables, insert data, display data on web pages, and all of the other basic stuff! At least a must-check-out for beginers! Ohh yeah, and "use the force, read the source" .. examples can really clarify things as well!

    PS - Must Explain why I still have a girlfriend!

    Does this mean that NASA can use this to communicate with future rovers?

    "All our spam are belong to you!"

  11. Re:As was mentioned yesterday on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    wonder how you could warn villages without power/communication systems.

    Not to be an ass or anything, but I believe public education regarding this issue would have brought the death toll down a significant amount. Hell, public education regarding ANY matter might be the only way to help protect themselves. Maybe I should dedicate a private website about the different natural disasters and how one may go about in a logical systematic manner on protecting themselves. Then once the compiled instruction set is complete, ask for donations to try to distribute those booklets world-wide.

  13. Thats weird .. on Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire · · Score: 1

    When I click on the "see larger image" link, I can SWEAR that there is a "DVD" logo next to the CD ROM's eject button. Any one else think so?

    Just like job security, your not going out ...... or up.

  19. All of the worm writers .. on Former CIA Head Calls for Limiting Access to the Internet · · Score: 1

    All of the worm writers, spyware developers, etc take security seriously. I mean, how else would they be able to exploit their targets?

    The internet, to me, seems to be mimicing real life. For instance, they're probably waiting for a "Digital 9/11" to lockdown and regulate internet usage. As as people follow blindly, they'll probably get their way.

  20. Re:Everyone, except on EA Reconsiders Overtime Position · · Score: 1

    Especially since when under law, engineers are not eligible for overtime, and guess what classification the programmers are under?

  21. hmmm, interesting line in the EULA on Gator's EULA Dissected · · Score: 1

    "Any use of a packet sniffer or other device to intercept or access communications between GP and the GAIN AdServer is strictly prohibited."

    Does this mean that we will get fried under the DMCA if we sniff what our personal information is getting sent through the line without our authorization? (CC#, SSN#, etc)?

    Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
    Now that I've just read your sig, my yearly review for my company is tomorrow. I share your paranoia. Thanks slashdot.org!
