  1. Re:And ... ? on Russinovich Says, Expect Vista Malware · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can find blue duct tape on this new intertube place called Google. My mechanic uses some magic blue duct tape he refers to as "100 MPH tape" ... which is why I never let him tow my car.

    What is your answer to AFTER the box has been cracked? I've found that super glue works pretty well, bu nothing is as good as blue duct tape. Blue duct tape rules.
  3. Ain't gonna work ... on Personal Data Exposed! Can Legislation Fix It? · · Score: 1

    ... without extremely severe punitive damages imposed upon those who expose the data. Until it costs them less to secure it than it does to expose it we'll never stop companies from acting irresponsibly.

    LSOB,
    In order to prevent a recurrence of this situation please stop posting insightful jokes. ;-)

  5. Re:News like this worries me... on Open WAP = Probable Cause? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone here know if there is a defense for this predicament? I'm not in it, but conceivably be some day. Personally I would recommend ceasing the automated p0rn downloads and doing them the old fashioned way ... by hand.

    Yes, it's offtopic, but have you ever WATCHED that show? Yes, but only to count the adorable wrinkles in Fred Thompson's brow. Grrrrr ...
  7. Re:SCO 2.0? on Novell Bombards SCO with Summary Judgment Motions · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if Novell some day decides that Linux is no longer viable as SCO did... I suppose they can always resurrect NetWare.
  8. What's In A Name? on Russia's Floating Nuclear Plants Under Fire From Greens · · Score: 0
    FTA:

    "The first floating power plant will be named 'Academician Lomonosov.' Mikhail Lomonosov was an 18th- century Russian scientist who achieved worldwide acclaim for his work in chemistry and physics and was founder of Moscow's state university. As long as it's not named after the Titanic.

  10. Another Misleading Headline on Browser Wars Declared Over? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    FTFA:

    But the primary participants in the industry were not interested "in another browser war. We are all committed to interoperability and we are listening to what our users want," he said. That paragraph is the only mention of browser wars (or any kind of war, fighting, slapping or name calling) in that article. I officially declare my contempt for this thread and all posts in it (including my own).

    Sorry, this is slashdot, I want to see evidence that the system is foolproof ! Sorry to disappoint you, but this is a proprietary hack. You'll have to wait for an OSS solution to popup at SourceForge.
  12. Re:Should see intelligent comments on this one... on Anti-Spam Suits and Booby-Trapped Motions · · Score: 5, Funny

    The summary? I didn't even read your post before I replied.

  13. Re:I don't get it on Anti-Spam Suits and Booby-Trapped Motions · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now, IANAL and IANAJ, but if I was on a jury I'd vote to convict your posts because if they are on /. they obviously are guilty of something.

  14. 244 Copies? on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 1

    244 copies is what, 2.44 copies per new computer sold in China since Vista's release? I'd say they ought to be satisfied with that ratio.

  15. Re:Its Linux! on Linux Based Nokia N800 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 1

    That means it HAS to be good, right? Indeed it does. Just look at the definition of Linux:

    Linux
    (n) - A computer operating system.
    "The OS for the rest of you."
    (adj) - Good; Great but never good enough.

    Too bad for them because my iPhone is still up and running. Oh, wait ...

  17. Re:Huh? on MS Silverlight a Step Back For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    Does that mean every technology or product released by anybody not supporting Linux is a 'step back for Linux'? Anything that is not pro Linux is a step back for Linux. Just ask any Linux advocate.
  18. Give Them A Break ... on MS Silverlight a Step Back For Linux Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... they just finished the Media Player plugin for Firefox after toiling on it for years. They should have Linux support for Silverlight in ... let's see ... carry the one ... divide by zero ...

    It's safe to say they will announce Silverlight for Linux at the next Mars landing.

    Seriously, you literal-minded milksops are destroying the Slashdot I used to know and love. Well, it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. And I, for one, have nothing better to do, though you might want to put some of the blame where it deservedly belongs ... squarely on the shoulders of Global Warming.

    you do realise that if the vegetables/insects go, there will be no mammals? The only mammals that will survive will be those running Linux (preferably 'MammaLinux' on a four core cardio-processing system).
  22. Re:New Bee Attack recommended guidelines? on Are Mobile Phones Wiping Out Bees? · · Score: 1

    According to my carefully made-up research, this all started around the same time as "An Inconvenient Truth" was released. So, indirectly, Global Warming is the cause of this.

    We all appreciate your effort to eradicate the bees and to keep the cellphone conglomerate's profits in check. Thanks for doing your part.
