  1. Re:Uproar? on Vintage 1960s Era Film Shows IRS Defending Its Use of Computers · · Score: 0

    The ATM was outside of the bank, where the "executive" worked.. Maybe he meant manager.

  2. Cloud schmoud on Oracle and Microsoft To Announce Cloud Partnership Monday · · Score: 4, Informative

    I thought Larry Ellison hates cloud computing?

  3. Ya but... on Formula For Procrastination Found · · Score: -1

    Who procrastinated on closing the 'span' tag?

  4. Your own fault... on Slashdot Posting Bug Infuriates Haggard Admins · · Score: -1



    If they were to account for the duped articles and inherently duped comments, I think that the number would be significantly less - somewhere around 2^22

    Hell, I can't even tell if this is a dupe!

  5. Obligatory Ballmer on Microsoft/Novell Deal Could Create Two-Tier Linux Market · · Score: -1

    I wonder how Ballmer pronounces SuSE, something in between

    "SOOSAY" and.. "OMG Schmidt! we have linux now! Die *chair toss* die"
     

  6. Whine whine on The Netscaping of Symantec and McAfee · · Score: 0, Interesting

    These are the dying pleas from strategy officers. Although I hate to mention it, there are some serious (kernel patch protection) security improvements for Vista - and if they cannot adapt to the way their 'piggy backing' is being jeopardized, they'll just have to crumple. They are however well known security groups, so entering into new medias wouldn't be a terrible idea.

    And who says their gonna be losing business within the first, one, two, or three years after Vista's release. What about home users and, the elderly.

  7. hmmm on IE7 Released and Available for Download · · Score: -1

    Harmless, speedy download... Why no slashdotting, you want web standards?

  8. MOD PARENT UP on FDA Approves New Drug for Type 2 Diabetes · · Score: -1

    There is no excuse for the diabetes pre-epidemic, that is certain to grow rapidly in the next 10+ years. There are definitely safer ways to sweeten foods and drink products, but the higher margins are of course with the good old cheap-o-corn syrup extract, by-products. There has got to be some regulation here sooner or latter, or are kids are in for a horrible middle age.

  9. Bullocks on Microsoft Agrees to Changes in Vista Security · · Score: 1, Funny

    'It looks like Microsoft was really testing the waters here, sort of pushing the limits of antitrust and decided they probably couldn't cross that line just yet.'

    Just like I test the waters before I dump the bodies... Oh, wait I better not cross that line

  10. Next on Slashdot... on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: -1

    Bigger refrigerators hold more food!

  11. MOD PARENT UP on Yahoo's Time Capsule Project · · Score: -1

    This is completely impossible, and a waste of resources from Yahoo and everyone involved. Sounds cool though.

  12. I concur... on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: -1

    Firefox 2.0 has been more than stable for me. I've been using it for maybe 2-3 months now to do everything I need to do online. I must have visited hundreds of new sites, never encountered with 1.5.x. Noticeable performance enhancements for style sheets, and in my opinion, a much more intuitive 'tab' layout. I think it's an answer for IE7, ready to ship.

  13. Not so scary... on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: -1

    I am not one for more nukes anywhere on earth, but think about it...

    Realistically this is an 'upper hand' move towards South Korea, and any opposing countries for that matter, which really are very high considering North Korea is one of the most successful communist states in the world. North Korea has what some might call a penis envy towards many of the nations that oppose their regime. But, believe it or not, they have a very democratic approach for citizens to voice their opinion. I would be highly sceptical of any provocative nuclear attacks any time in the future. There is just too much at stake, even an 'insane dictator' would be hesitant to instigate half the UN into militarization. But that's me. Why a country would need such military muscle is up to the people, for a lot of nations at least.

  17. Re:These aren't for everyone on High-Tech RepoMan · · Score: -1

    I agree with most of your post. But what happens when "SmartBox" manufacturers are able to bring the total cost for the dealerships down to near or equal the cost of loss from late payments, bounced checks, etc. Some cost benefit analysis in two or three years may put these units into the majority of car dealerships.

  18. The dealers need Microsoft... on High-Tech RepoMan · · Score: -1

    Just use the planned "TPC 360" SmartBox by Microsoft, only $199 per unit wholesale.

    You forgot

    - Clippy, the "looks like you wanna print an envelope" I wont leave you alone fellow.

    It will be interesting to see if Microsoft will use their entrance to the HPC market as a second chance to utilize true open XML, and play well with the others. To survive this market takes a lot of teamwork with proprietary vendors. This could be Microsoft's attempt at saving face.
