  1. Re:APPLE NANO CAR ?? on $3,000 Tata Nano Car Coming To US · · Score: 1

    Means no need for a defogging system!

  2. Re:Click-through GPL. on EULAs Don't Have To Suck · · Score: 1

    You have to accept the license if you want to use the software. It just happens that the license doesn't do anything if all you are doing is using the software.

  3. Re:Unexplained Achievement "The Maker"? on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    When will it end! Eventually they'll up it to 70 just to keep us interested.

  4. Re:Image bandwidth on New Service Aims To Replace Consoles With Cloud Gaming · · Score: 1

    Well, the summary does say it's for bleeding edge games.

  5. Re:No thanks on New Service Aims To Replace Consoles With Cloud Gaming · · Score: 1

    Sim games would be affected? What kind of sim games?

  6. Re:No thanks on New Service Aims To Replace Consoles With Cloud Gaming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So they've transferred the executable to you. Great. Now where is your hardware to execute it?

  7. Range of students. on Good Robot Projects For K-5? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    5 year olds and 10 year olds can be quite different. It would not be a good idea to treat all of these kids as the same.

  8. Re:free books? on Google's Struggle To Reach Authors — of Every Book Ever Written · · Score: 1

    What if Google buys your book once and then digitizes it. Doesn't that fall into "I don't mind (or care) what an individual does once it's 'out there'".

  9. Re:No, they don't on Should Job Seekers Tell Employers To Quit Snooping? · · Score: 1

    Who says that isn't relevant? Having a long history of good would work in your favor the same way as having a history of bad would work against you.
    Also, perhaps your more recent tracks on the web would come up higher on the list.

  10. Re:Remember... on Privacy In the Age of Persistence · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yet the moment you try to archive your files to slashdot for later retrieval you'll find that the site has crashed and lost all data.

  11. Re:Huh? on Sony Blu-spec CD Format Detailed, Hits Stores · · Score: 1

    They are.

  12. Re:slashdot sensationalism on Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal · · Score: 1

    Counting cards is not illegal, but if they think you're counting cards in your head they'll ask you to leave anyhow.

  13. Re:The Simple Option on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    Actually.. I think it does? I'd consider painful and painless to be different options.

  14. Re:One problem on Balcony Warning · · Score: 1

    How would you design it so that it properly depicts a falling hazard and not the ability to fly?

  15. Re:Question on Comcast's Throttling Plan Has 'Disconnect User' Option · · Score: 1

    Increasing the number of hops could help protect against the possibility of those hops belonging to the same person.

    If the attacker owned both the intermediary and the exit node in the 3-hop example then your privacy is gone. Another possibility is that the attacker compromises a node (multiple nodes?) and gains information that way.

  16. Re:I am confused !! on The 1-Petabyte Barrier Is Crumbling · · Score: 1

    Something's wrong, Google isn't accepting my query.

  17. Re:Not affect how skilled hackers get malware on Google Wants You to Report Malware · · Score: 1

    Whenever I end up at Experts-Exchange, I've found that the bottom of the page contains replies and solutions.

  18. Re:Signal roundtrip times is the tipoff on New Way to ID Invisible Intruders on Wireless LANs · · Score: 1

    But what if they do something illegal?
    Or what if they don't play nice and cause congestion which you don't want to deal with?

  19. Re:O RLY? on The Future of Trusted Linux Computing · · Score: 1

    There is a chance that the users noticed the problem and then found the "correct" way to install the software and didn't bother reporting it.

  20. Re:Tough call... on UK Hackers Face Antisocial Behaviour Orders · · Score: 1

    Can they still use the ATM? The self-checkout at supermarkets? Library electronic catalogues?

  21. Re:Ok, what are we talking about? on IBM Hardwires Encryption Into Chips · · Score: 1

    "We done it" is better than "we think maybe hope we can in the next 5 years".

  22. Re:So... on Caller ID Spoofing Becomes Easy · · Score: 1
  23. Re:No real news here on Cross Site Scripting Discovered in Google · · Score: 0

    It's already been fixed!

  25. Re:Well .. on Laptops Outsell Desktops · · Score: 1

    As a student going back and forth between the dorm and home (Christmas, summer, occaisionally on weekends), I find having a portable computer a great convenience. I'm willing to put up with this laptop (P3 700mhz, 256mb SDRAM) precisely because it's easier than hauling around an ATX case and LCD monitor. But I admit that I hardly use my computer away from my desk.
