  1. Re:Legitimate Case? on Google Loses Gmail Trademark Case · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't they still own the gmail.com domain? Why can't they just change the name of the service and still use the old domain?

  2. Re:All should not be lost... on Microsoft Won't Offer Patch Before Worm Strikes? · · Score: 1

    Did you see Linux/FOSS/etc mentioned anywhere in the post because I sure didn't. So please keep your jokes to yourself if they are: a) offtopic b) done to death c) boring to begin with Your's seem be every one of these although one would have sufficed. It's defendable by stating that it's a (lame) attempt of meta-humour. If that's the case I appologise for my rant.

  3. Re:A Study Without Perspective... on High-tech Cars Replacing Driver Skill? · · Score: 1

    "the majority of males 18-35 will quickly learn to react to all kinds of high-speed emergencies." After which the amount of high speed emergencies will increase drastically. Problem is: in real life the saves are "quite" limited.

    Actually a Garret shouldn't need to kill. Amateurs kill, nobody knows about the skilled.

    Or better yet, start a slahsdot.eu

  6. Re:Joke? on The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security · · Score: 1

    Modifying /etc/* modifies settings for the whole system affecting *every* user. If the trojan puts some line in some of your ~/.rc files then the only one screwed is you and only at login. The /etc is writable root-only for a reason.

  7. Re:Why must we be animals? on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    The problem is that if we allow you to perform your act of justice we must also let everyone perform *their* vision of justice and soon you'll have a mob. Therefore we have only a small force who are *trained* to execute justice. Because the force is small they can't possibly take care of everything but it's preferrable to everyone running around whacking people who violated their sense of 'justice'.

  8. Re:A bit of an exaggeration on Test Driving Linux · · Score: 1

    Remember that the you can bring down the Windows down instantly by flicking the powerswitch behing the computer (ivo-boot). A fast computer (overall speed) and a quality cd-drive should at least get the Linux KERNEL started with time to spare. Booting
    to the login screen probably takes a while longer but as the die hard purist say thats not really Linux.

    We're your antennae inside the house or outside? If they were outside then there were nothing to stop radio waves from reaching them, were there.

  10. Good for one drive but ... on Hard Drive Cooling for 10 Cents · · Score: 3, Insightful

    what about when you have several drives or a tiny case?

  11. Re:I cant say I blame them on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    This might be due to the fact that you can drive a car to the shop. With computers you (usually) have to carry it yourself.
