  1. Crime rate high? on Supreme Court Holds Right to Bear Arms Applies to Individuals · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Isn't the crime rate in DC really high anyway? So it seems as if banning guns didn't work.

  2. Re:My findings... on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    PEBCAK? I don't think so, I think it's more along the lines of the id.10-t error.

    You know, when the race conditions based on gliding semaphores inject useless crap into memory while eating up cookies.

  3. The rovers were bad! on NASA Testing Lunar Rovers In Moses Lake, WA · · Score: 4, Funny

    You should have seen the rovers during spring break.

    I think NASA went over board with the number of probes installed on the rover.

    Give them a break, they are trying to earn a living.

    Penetration is not fun without it being hard!
    I'm probably the only /. user that's had sex long enough to have a kid. I wish I had sex more than once though. It was kind of fun :(
    At least I can have a bumper sticker that says:

    "My kid compiles kernels at a 4th grade level"

  16. grow a pair! on KDE and KOffice Rebuke OOXML, GNOME Dithers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For the love of god, why don't people have balls(women excluded)? I'm getting tired of people bowing down to pressure or being bought out. Doesn't anybody stand up for what they believe in anymore? I mean, way to go KDE. But, Gnome? I mean, as a community aren't we supposed to stand up for the FREE as in FREEDOM we claim that open source is? I mean, this isn't just the Gnome community, I'm talking about the community as a whole. We need to stop OOXML. It's a big bloated piece of crap, shilled out at the last moment simply because MS saw a threat. But this rant isn't even about OOXML alone. Just now Ogg was kicked out of the HTML5 spec due to pressure from Nokia and Apple. I mean, WTF! Ogg was a great choice, good quality, free as in beer, and free as in freedom. The best of both worlds.

    Anyways, I'm done talking.

  17. Re:Year of the Spaceship? on 2008, The Year of the Spaceship · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm tired of "This is the Year of..."

    "This is the year of the linux desktop"
    "This is the year of the space ship"
    "This is the year I lose my virginity"

    As much as I want these things to happen, they wont come true. :(

  18. FTA: several websites on Freakonomics Q&A With Bruce Schneier · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are several Web sites where I pay for access, and I have the same password for all of them.

    And these sites have content, content which gets stored under /.pr0n

  19. I bet I know who's happy! on Microsoft Withdraws Vista's Kill Switch · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The 3 Vista users. Who's upset? The 6,000,000,000 Linux users and the 8 OSX users.

  20. here is the problem... on Security in Ten Years · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Technology in 10 years will be much more ubiquitous. While attacks will go more "high tech," end users intelligence will drop. Take for instance right now, "net savvy" users of Myspace? "Net savvy" enough to use google, but that's really about all they can do. People don't care about security, they just take it for granted. When I worked in IT, I was shocked at how many people had their passwords on post it notes on the monitors, or the number of VPs that wrote their password down and just handed it to me. This will get worse in the future as the the growth of technology also increases the ease of use. But not user education.

    It's only going to get worse because it'll only get easier for people to get online or use/get access to a computer.

  21. on the door? on A Look at Microsoft's Security War Room · · Score: 5, Funny

  22. overrated? on Why You Can't Find a Wii for Christmas · · Score: 1

    am I the only person that thinks the Wii is highly overrated? I mean, it was fun for about 10 minutes. But I can take only so many Mario remakes.

  23. explosions... on New Type of Fatigue Discovered in Silicon · · Score: 1

    I want to see silicon nano cars failing and blowing up as they crash into another nano cars.

    But, seriously... I want to see more pictures and video. You never see that with these "cool" really tiny things.

    He's like the guy who still owns (exclusively) an eight-track player in a world

    I bet he has that 8-Track on a lanyard around his neck to look cool with all the other iPod kids.

    Seriously though, I like Kiss' music, but Gene Simmons, you sir, are a tool. I'm going to download your entire collection right now...
