  1. "The Stallman" on RMS and Clipperz Promoting Freedom In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Write add-ons for the major free browsers (Mozilla, Webkit, ...) that implement the Stallman's solution.

    The vortigaunts from Half-Life 2 comes to mind.

  2. Re:Big deal on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is a big deal, because without this law, we can take the current criminal wiretappers to court and make them stop.

  3. Streaming video on Undocumented Open Source Code On the Rise · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've recently been trying to implement streaming video in a cross-platform system, and the main open-source libraries, ffmpeg and Live555... well, Live555 at least has unstable release packages. That's the best I can say about their project management. :/

  4. Re:Just out of curiousity... on Chinese Government Accused of Hacking Congress · · Score: 1

    I was just wondering the same thing.

  5. Statistics on Phoronix Releases Linux Benchmarking Platform · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Damn lies aside, their website needs graphs, averages and stuff. It's not very useful when you have to browse through hundreds of individual benchmarks.

  6. Re:Good on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    No, it's a plugin for Azureus.

  7. Good on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The PirateBay admins themselves have been looking into ways to replace the Bay. This looks like a good alternative. However, due to the popularity of closed-source BitTorrent clients (uTorrent et. al), we'll need a stand-alone version of this Cubit.

  8. Alternatives on eBay Australia Makes PayPal Mandatory · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, let's build a list of alternatives.

  9. Proof on Japanese ISPs To Cut Net Access For File Sharers · · Score: 1

    As far as I can see from TFA, no proof except the MAFIA's say-so will be required to disconnect people. Seems no courts of law are involved at all.

  10. Re:OpenDNS Guide on RoadRunner Intercepting Domain Typos · · Score: 1

    Which is why I run BIND myself.

  11. Star Trek on Intel Doubles Capacity of Likely Flash Successor · · Score: 1

    So now we're actually gonna see storage capacity measured in "gigaquads"?

  12. Re:You know what to do... on MySpace Private Pictures Leak · · Score: 2, Informative
  13. Re:I wonder on Sun Buys MySQL · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seconded, thoroughly - in addition I would like some decent gui tools for single-user data-storage requirements; it's annoying that any pc user who wants to maintain a list of (contacts/friends/must-see-movies/must-read-books/etc) puts everything into a spreadsheet. I like Notepad with a fixed font.
  14. Megatokyo on Boeing 787 May Be Vulnerable to Hacker Attack · · Score: 1

    Nice Megatokyo reference in the "dept" line.

  15. Pirate party on Copyright Cutback Proposed As RIAA Solution · · Score: 1

    This isn't terribly novel; the Swedish Pirate Party suggested the same thing almost two years ago.

  16. Re:"This was a triumph... on The Finest Moments in 2007 Gaming · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's referring to the Yes song that's played during the credits.

  17. Re:compatible with GPLv3 ? on FSF Releases AGPL License For Web Services · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that one could take an AGPL program, relicense it under GPLv3, then use it as a service without having to provide the source code.

  18. Paraphrasing Strong Bad on EU to Investigate Google Doubleclick Acquisition · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you want it to be possessive, it's just "I-T-S." But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S..." scalawag.

  19. Re:Salon was the wrong outlet for this article. on EFF Interviewed About Their Case Against AT&T · · Score: 1

    I managed to get in by using PrefBar to disable JavaScript.

  20. Minority Report on Homeland Security's Tech Wonders · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    "We can read fingerprints from about five meters .... all 10 prints," said Bruce Walker, vice president of homeland security at Northrop Grumman Corp. "We can also do an iris scan at the same distance." Might be inflated, but still!
  21. Re:differences in not dl ad vs. not seeing it? on The Morality of Web Advertisement Blocking · · Score: 1

    I like the full suite of apps darn it! I hope you use SeaMonkey then.
  22. Re:Morons. on Microsoft Forces Shutdown of Autopatcher · · Score: 1

    Word. Remember Lik-Sang?

  23. A.I.M. 2 on Videogames Make Better Horror Than Movies? · · Score: 1

    The last part of the underground sequence in the Russian first-person action RPG was pretty scary, in a good way. :) The game really feels like a second life; the atmosphere is very good.

  24. Copied, not stolen on Monster.com Attacked, User Data Stolen · · Score: 4, Funny

    Seriously, if even Slashdot can't use the word properly, how can we ever expect the MAFIAA to learn?

  25. Account Suspended on Cookbook For Third-Party Apps On iPhone · · Score: 1

    Looks like it got slashdotted. Fortunately, google cache still has a copy.
