  1. djbdns on DNS Attack Writer a Victim of His Own Creation · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't want to get owned? Run your own dnscache. http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html

  2. Re:Starcraft 2 on Blizzard Hints At New StarCraft, Launches Burning Crusade · · Score: 1

    Would a World Of Starcraft work?

    If they just change the models / textures / quests but the overall gameplay stays the same I don't think this will work. There would probably some WoW users switching to WoS, but I don't think their overall player base would grow much.

    If they have new ideas and some of those are any good, it could work. I'd give it a different name though, "StarCraft Universe" for example.

  3. Re:What are we supposed to view the video in? on Super Door of the Future · · Score: 1

    How about mplayer?

  4. Re:Now we can all see the studio. on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 1

    How is this "5, Funny"? It should be "-1, Didn't get the joke"

  5. Cool Stuff ... for people with only one hand on Fold 'n' Drop Window Interaction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, if you still have both hands, you don't need this. At least not under Windows. While dragging, you can still press Alt+Tab or Win+D (Desktop), so you should be able to get everywhere you want to.

  6. I don't think so ... on SpamSlayer - should we DDOS spammers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What if only once a bad guy manages to blame someone innocent who get's DDoSed? Should we hazard the consequences?

  7. Re:will not hurt me at all for I am a criminal. on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 1

    I am worse than you. I run Gentoo via coLinux under Windows XP SP2. And for circumventing these *play* restrictions, I use mplayer & mencoder. Win32 versions of course.

  8. OMG Bloggers ... on Rise of the Professional Blogger · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... hear what maddox has to say about them: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=ba nish

  9. Re:Backdate e-mails on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 1

    Noticing that would require someone who knows about mail headers, which would probably be the guy who backdates his email ...

  10. Obligatory Quote on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."

  11. Re:Why?!!! on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 5, Funny

    > Even then, why does the SMTP server accept e-mails from the past?

    Yes, that's ridiculous! Imagine it would also accept a fake sender address...

  12. a bit off-topic: WTF happened to Fingerworks? on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    WTF happened to Fingerworks?

  13. Re:Perfect timing! on A Practical Guide to DIY LCD Projectors · · Score: 5, Funny

    > that'll cut our costs by at least 400%

    Your calculator was a DIY project too, wasn't it?

  14. Re:This is Slashdot. on Longhorn Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    > It doesn't matter whether or not what you're posting makes sense. Just so long as it bashes "EVIL EMPIRE MICRO$$$OFT", you'll get modded up So you figured out how the system works here, but you failed to apply it? Do you work at Microsoft?

  15. Re:Stupid people on Fake Microsoft Patch Triggers Virus Attack · · Score: 2, Funny

    > But if they weren't so stupid and actually stopped to think for five seconds they might think "Hang on, how does Microsoft know my email address?"

    Perhaps they expect it to have been transmitted in the windows activation process, together with their creditcard info and their agreement to owe microsoft their firstborn son?

  16. Re:Perl still used? on mod_perl 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    > Who still uses Perl for web stuff?

    What do you think that ".pl" in most slashdot URLs stands for? PHP Light? Phyton Lowspeed? Perhaps Lisp?

  17. Re:Does anyone actually still use Perl? on mod_perl 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    > Isn't that a dead language kinda like Cobol?

    I don't think so, netcraft didn't confirm anything like that ...

  18. Not in a lower earth orbit, but ... on No Billboards in Space · · Score: 1

    ... what will they do against this nearby "star" to stop advertising for Sun (Microsystems)?

  19. Re:Will it have more than one native resolution? on Motorola Debuts Nano-Emissive Flat Screen · · Score: 1

    If you were a real gamer, you would have spent more money on your PC than on your bike/car/girlfriend/whatever, so you could run all games smoothly at the native resolution of your TFT.

  20. Hmm... on UK Record Industry Starts Suing Filesharers · · Score: 5, Funny

    How many of these 23 people were under 10 or over 80 years old? And did at least half of them own a computer?

  21. Obligatory... on Views on Violence in Video Games · · Score: 1

    "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching on magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."

  22. Re:to sum up a lot of comments... on Magnetic Stripe Snooping at Home · · Score: 5, Funny

    You have a magnetic stripe on your head?

  23. Invitation? on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    North Korea has a weird way to say that the want to "have a visit" from the US.

  24. Evidence ... when will they show us? on Judge Slams SCO's Lack of Evidence · · Score: 1

    I guess the will show us the complete evidence "real soon now" or "when it's done".

  25. Re:Bad math on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 0, Troll

    > > I don't get it, how is 3.2 millions almost twice the 2 StarTrek fans?
    >
    > No, twice the viewership of Enterprise.

    So you say over 1.6 millon people watched Enterprise by accident?
