  1. Re:still has a 1 button mouse. MOD PARENT UP on MacWorld Keynote Announces x86 iMac & Laptop · · Score: 0

    He is 100% right. Why is it considered flamebait? Apple made the Mighty Mouse with multiple buttons but its new Pro offerings still have 1? It doesn't make sense!

  2. Re:RIM on Security Holes Found In RIM BlackBerry Service · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They obviously don't know what they're doing if ANYONE using a BlackBerry can use an SQL Injection Attack on their own server. This is extremely easy to check for. Just like buffer overflow attacks. There is no reason why either should exist except for either laziness or pure stupidity.

    They made two big mistakes with their design. This kind of thing should be surprising. If they're selling a product used in millions of businesses, it has to be secure. Storing important information in unencrypted text and not taking the time to add a few more lines of code to do some verification before submitting anything to the database is inexcusable.

  3. Re:eh on Security Holes Found In RIM BlackBerry Service · · Score: 0

    The article describes what sounds like an SQL injection attack, which is far more serious.

  4. How could they let this slip? on Security Holes Found In RIM BlackBerry Service · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm no SQL guru, but even I know how to avoid these kinds of attacks. Plus, storing information like that in plain text is just... dumb.

  5. Opera Technologies and Its Future on Ask Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner · · Score: -1

    Opera has been built to work on Windows, OS X, Linux, and even many different mobile products. How was this process done? Is a cross-platform toolkit like wxWidgets or Qt used? Or is it something in house? Or, is it just a simple wrapper around the GUI APIs used in the popular Operating Systems? Also, Opera not only is a fast and efficient web browser, but it also has email and IRC capabilities. What other features that typically don't fit into a normal web browser will Opera include in the future?

  6. Another distro? on Mediainlinux: Path Forward? · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Seriously, how many Linux distributions do we need? Linux has a long way to go before becoming a decent desktop alternative.
    The open-source community needs to pool their efforts instead of forking.

  7. I was rejected for this? on Wikipedia's Accuracy Compared to Britannica · · Score: -1

    My article about a company adopting a child, housing he or she in their data center, and using the child as a logo was rejected so this duplicate that hasn't even left the front page could be put up?

    Am I missing something? I give you gold and you resort to using a dupe.

  8. Re:Accuracy on Aeon Flux, Talk Amongst Yourselves · · Score: -1

    It's fiction, which means they aren't always going for "realistic." It's a movie, and you should probably know that movies aren't all based on true stories.

  9. Re:Plot hole in the first 10 seconds on Aeon Flux, Talk Amongst Yourselves · · Score: -1

    Well, did you notice this? It's a movie! They take liberties in movies, and they do this to make things make sense in the plot. Aeon Flux wasn't exactly based on a true story.

  10. Eh on King's Quest 9 Lives! · · Score: -1

    The last Kings Quest I played suck.... FP, btw

  11. What? on Jobs Offers Free Mac OS X For $100 Laptops · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If Steve offers OS X to you for free, you take it. Red Hat sucks

    Next question.... does it run OSX x86?

    Had this happen to me once or twice but not on this article

  14. Re:don't know about the first on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hit the Road · · Score: 1

    That's a few weeks ago. They said the family has been testing since July so they might be right about the first.

  15. First on Open-Source Insurance · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    First post and stupid idea

  16. Hardware? on High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology Analysis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since this is a technology included in software, why is it listed as hardware?

    You're a fucking moron? There. I said it. Now we can all move on.

  22. This actually got accepted? on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 1

    My rumors about the G5, which were pretty much confirmed got denied but this crap got accepted? Bah, Slashdot editors... Anyway, I wrote up a short blurb on my website on this: www.BinaryIdiot.com Aparently, someone has posted pictures of this so called iPod on engadget and they were proven to be a photochop. All links at my website!

  23. Re:I give up, tried everything suggested or though on Windows XP SP2 and WEP Encryption? · · Score: 1

    So, wait. You've tried this with two computers on two different access points? That right there should tell you that either:
    A. You've come accross a known issue with Windows XP SP2 Or somehow the hardware and/or software on the APs and/or your laptops failed at the sametime.
    or
    B. You suck at life

    Now since I'm running Windows XP SP2 and have absolutely no issue connecting to any WEP wireless network, I'm guessing it's B but I could be wrong.

    Seriously, you have to be doing something wrong. Take it by a local computer shop to see what's up or call support for linksys and/or your computer's maker and/or your wireless card's manufacturer.

  24. Re:What a watse of bandwidth on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    Oh I know many don't get put up because of the volume of suggested, but I know some of my rejected stories would have been better than two people getting canned because they got into a hissy fit over e-mail because of a ham sandwhich.

  25. What a watse of bandwidth on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    Seriously, are we supposed to care? and since when does a story about a ham sandwhich getting stolen makes headlines on Slashdot? How did this get posted to the main page, but my stories usually get rejected?
