  1. Re:Theme Song. on Dr. Who on Sci-Fi Channel in March · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's the same. Redone though.

  2. MEh on Lawmakers Try to Protect Kids From Spam · · Score: 1

    Another email list for spammers to harvest? Or maybe even more questionable people currently spending their time talking to the FBI in chatrooms?

    Sounds silly and ineffective. Bet some legislator got good press from it though. :)

  3. Re:What would they have called the new company? on Sun and Apple Could Have Merged · · Score: 1

    Solapple

    McSun

    ApSun?

    ASun?

    iSun? :P

    Sun dried apples..?

  4. Re:Pussies, the lot of you on Thunderbird 1.5 Arrives · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Very useful to ssh home and check my mail securely. Same with elinks

  5. Re:When an ordinary pocket just ain't iPod enough! on Levi Making iPod Compatible Jeans Now · · Score: 1

    At least it's better than this, aka this

    There must be a lot of frat houses with Xboxes.

  7. Re:Nothing new - who cares on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 1

    Amazon is more aggressive than iTunes though. They collect a lot of info and use it across all of the amazon network. They can probably correlate surfing data from the alexa toolbar with your amazon info etc. And the amazon info is obviously verified with CC purchasing.

    Still, profiling sucks, no matter who's doing it.

    IE google. Think of all the data they have. I predict person-targeted adsense ads within the year :)

  8. Re:Obvious on Instant-Messaging Attacks On the Rise · · Score: 2, Funny

    - My grandma doesn't use AOL.
    - She uses linux, user account.
    - iptables, ids.

    I was talking about your average grannies in FL. (Their neigbours are probably the spammers exploiting their boxes..)

  9. Obvious on Instant-Messaging Attacks On the Rise · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obvious, they go to where the easy targets are. As a plus: When you infect a computer connected through AOL the chance of discovery and subsequent removal is smaller. How many granny's on AOL run a firewall+spybot+antivirus etc?

  10. Re:Question on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    Gah, forgot the last sentence. Was supposed to be:

    As a side note: I've seen google employees clicking through the submitters URL link, presumably to check it. I don't think there's much point in spamming /. then. But * * Beatles Beatles has submitted some very good stories.

  11. Re:People keep on quoting it without grammar on A Look at Google DRM · · Score: 1

    Do no evil (for large values of no)

  12. Question on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    How do you feel about people promoting their pet projects in their sig? Honest question. I see lots of people doing it but I'm not sure if I like it or not (me doing so included).

    As a side note: I've seen google employees clicking through the submitters URL link, presumably to check it.

  13. Re:Nature's Black Box? on Genetic Clues to Cause of Death? · · Score: 1

    Heh, that strip was probably inspired/lifted from UBIK by Philip K. Dick.

  14. Re:Rootkit! on A Look at Google DRM · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do less evil

  15. Dorothy hit by lightning on Puzzling Electric Hurricanes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Never got home to Kansas?

    Anyway, I was wondering: could the static/friction-causing ingredient be all the fine dust they pick up combined with the enourmous speeds at the eye?

  16. 3 questions on BBC Program Broadcasts From Second Life · · Score: 3, Interesting

    - What's the exchange rate?

    - Does the dev studio exhange this money for you or do you have to sell it ala WOW?

    - I guess you don't go around killing monsters that drop GP in this game.. right?

  17. Re:Leroy Jenkins on The 10 Most Interesting People in Gaming for 2005 · · Score: 1

    Sorry about that. I have the vid on disk, I just googled for a hosted one.

  18. Re:So wait... on Crank Blogging, Like Phone Calling, Now Illegal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Would be fun if Slashcode gave you the option of commenting on your moderation with 3 words or so... Though I suppose that would remove some of the brilliance of that simple insightful.

  20. Re:Communities on MySpace Users Revolt Against Murdoch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If they care so much about freedom of speech they should buy themselves a domain and hosting (separately). That way they can change DNS info if their host opresses them :), and the registrars have shown they don't care what you do with the domains anyway.

  21. Re:A bad thing. on Mirus to Ship Desktop Computers with Linspire · · Score: 1

    And "Koobox"? Excellent brand name. Linispire is crap.. They hope to cash in on users hearing more about this Leenoox thing and thinking they should get onboard with an easy to use distro. Hey, it even has a cutesy name.. Woohoo..

    What happened to riding your bike in the city?

  23. Re:You have it backward on HD DVD Demo a Disappointment · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Linux doesn't automagically mess up your config files. No format and reinstall, ever. 100 different utilities churning the registry... I'd get paranoid about less.
