  1. Fear is reasonable. on Hackers Not Afraid of Being Caught · · Score: 1

    Correction: Stupid Hackers Not Afraid Of Being Caught.
    There is still a risk despite all the proxies,routing,SSH and secure encryption.A person underestimating risks is more likely to get caught.

  3. I'm safe since on Best Sitting Posture Is Not Straight Up · · Score: 1

    I don't maintain stable positions.135 degree looks confortable,but you have to move forward your neck.Sitting in one pose btw,even its super relaxed more then hour =muscle pain.Walkign around helps.

  4. Article on Army Game Proves U.S. Can't Lose · · Score: 1

    "For example, there's no consideration that military power or technology could fail or be jammed, she says. And the enemy doesn't learn, in contrast to a certain real-life conflict where the hallmark of insurgents is their ability to rapidly gain knowledge and evolve." to Mudkips?

    The next phase would be:plugging into an interconnected matrix of computer networks and connecting feeding tubes to your chamber.
    Your spare brain capacity will be used for computing tasks designated by main computer.

  7. Re:dumbest slashdot story ever on Second Life Hit By Massive In-Game Worm · · Score: 1

    becuase thats digg and reddit are for.
    Slashdot has superior commentary but less good stories.

  8. Re:It's that bad... on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Starcraft is the best game blizzard created.Though StarEdit is very lame.The UMS maps creation capability could have improvement ten times over.They just release patches for little bugs.

  9. Value of digital content on Second Life Businesses Close Due To Cloning · · Score: 1

    Equals zero.

  10. Realiable,mainstream sources on Wikipedia Explodes In China · · Score: 1

    They still argue on the talk page about reliable sources.
    that enough to convince me that wiki rules are flawed from the root.

    My computer has only 512mb ram(with 32mb shared for video).

  12. A few years ago on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    I been caught in that linux hype,and tried to switch from win98 to mandrake 7 or 8 or something similar.
    The gui was nice ,even control panel was there.expirience of actual usage proved i need to read megabytes of text to configure stuff,so i dedicated a week for X windows configuration.
    After trying every FAQ it finally worked
    and i was "Delighted" to know that many parts of linux require similar "fiddling and configuring" to work.All Libraries and drivers must installed properly or else.Trying to relieve the stress i played few of those silly games bundled with mandrake, some sokoban clone.
    After loading gimp i spent a hour to figure to draw few lines,and that after consulting help.Everything was extremely awkward and unintuitive.Trying to listen to music proved frustrating,becuase i needed the drivers which i couldn't find.
    In the end of expiriment i Fdisked back the MBR ,formatted the drive,created a fat32 partittion and happily installed win98 back with all my backup disks.

  13. Re:If they had to install(!) Windows ... on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    I laugh at new computers without the floppy drive.Removing floppies was mistake.They're extremely useful when you need to share files or boot dos with diagnostics.

  14. Quality of wikipedia articles on Can Wikipedia Ever Make the Grade? · · Score: 1

    ..is in inverse proportion to number of disputes a subject generates.
    Oh,and it must be "Notable".

  15. Re:Slashback "feature" on Slashback: IceWeasel, Online Gambling, GPU Folding, Evolution · · Score: 1

    The problem slashdot stories from a week ago(or more) which don't change but aren't open to discussion,and require searching for.
    In a normal forum you could reply to threads 5 years old and still have discussion(with all the updates).

  16. Re:Wikipedia editors constantly need to be smacked on Alexa, Amazon's Most Flawed Idea · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is what mainstream thinks is right or informative.Its only useful for describing the outline of the subject,if it penetrated the minds of thousands to be included.

    Its not a world repositiry of knowledge.
    Its consensus report on what majority defines as knowledge.Nothing else.
    Those large technical articles which contain lots of accurate data are result of dedicated editing efforts,which can be striken off if it gets into dispute.

    And most wikipedians only think of this as quirks or grouphink,becuase people who didn't like it leave.I seen dozens of articles,describing legit(though mostly obscure) topics get deleted for such things as notability.

    Its a common sight to see what you serched for in Deletion log.
    Small articles are expecially vulnerable ,becuase they can't grow/improve if deleted.

  17. Slashback "feature" on Slashback: IceWeasel, Online Gambling, GPU Folding, Evolution · · Score: 1

    Why slashbacks instead of never alllowing the stories expire(and making them editable).

  18. Re:So it's DRM, but... on Vista DRM Prevents Kernel Tampering · · Score: 1

  23. My expirience on How Much Virtual Memory is Enough? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I never use swap (for about six years) and had a 256MB ram machine with win98.
    Thing is i run into out of memory errors,when running alot of stuff,though rarely(windows takes 35MB by itself here).Now with 512MB i could run practically anything.

    My advice:Turn off swap,buy more ram.

  24. No negative effect.. on Internet Not the Social Hinder it Was · · Score: 1

    Internet is negative influence if you sit online for hours.However its not much more "negative" then staring at television.
    Living as heavy internet user will change you socially.The thing is impact is very different for different personalities(social people don't suffer much,when nerds get more withdrawn).
    Limiting your computer time will solve it(e.g. shedule to dedicate only 2hours and then turn it off.Don't leave it just "in case").

  25. Re:even wikis have forums on On the Changing Role of Online Forums? · · Score: 1

    Wiki "forum" part is lacking.It just can't compete,even with most primitive forum software.Forum/wiki needs:
    A integrated Content Management System where users can upload resources,change/write articles and have individual discussion forums for each articles.Wikipedia only has image uploading and it requires manual archives to be kept.Plus wikipedia talk page can be edited by anyone(which dhould be changed to adding new pages).
