  2. Opensource it! on Stargate SG-1 Game Finally Canceled · · Score: 1
    Ok so they couldn't do it. Who cares as long as they find the courage to opensource the source code. Some team will pick it up, develop, and we'll get to play it.

    Or more accurately, the Slashdot crowd will develop it, we'll play it.

  3. DRM on Ask Microsoft's Security VP · · Score: 1

    Do you have business contracts with other corporations such as Sony through which you profit as you add DRM controls to Vista? Do you have any business contract with Sony, for that matter?

  10. Re:Simple Fix on Instant-Messaging Attacks On the Rise · · Score: 1, Funny
    When is a patch going to come out for this problem, it seems to have been plaguing the net for quite some.

    We've been trying to patch human beings for quite a while now, but they just don't seem to stand still. We'll get to it though.

    and to reboot them is very expensive and very risky...
  11. Re:Do expoits speed up the fixing? on Microsoft Taking Longer to Fix Flaws · · Score: 0
    The most interesting result of Security Fix's study is that Microsoft took longer to fix a problem if the researcher waited to disclose the problem until after Microsoft published the patch
    Well, isn't that the only finding in the article as well?
  12. inaccurate summary on Microsoft Taking Longer to Fix Flaws · · Score: 0
    I was expecting a statistical analysis, a longitudinal study as claimed by the article itself, but instead found some almost-nonsense anectodes...

    Maybe someone will use the .Excel files (as if they are making fun of us), open it with OpenOffice.org, save it as native OpenOffice.org files, then conduct a honest statistical analysis of what happened and whether it was statistically significant or not and what consequences the results predict...

  15. Earth on Mysterious MilkyWay Warp Finally Explained? · · Score: 0
    Perhaps this is because the two-thirds of the people on Earth are fat. This could result in the part of the galaxy that Earth is located in to be weighed down which is warping the entire Milky Way.

    no, you can't. it has to be anonymous...
  19. Re:Cheap PCs? on Mirus to Ship Desktop Computers with Linspire · · Score: 0
    Why must everyone push "cheap PCs" via linux. Any vendor that offers a cheap linux PC should also offer an expensive linux PC. Linux isn't about cheap, It's about power and freedom. Of course, Windows is also about power, but the power is not yours.
    I would have modded this sooo up if I were a modder ;)

    on the other hand, there are too many (sic) expensive linux PCs in the market... We could use some cheaper ones... I still would put ubuntu or opensuse on it...
