  1. Slashdotting on Head of ChronoPay Arrested In Moscow · · Score: 0

    I wonder how CmdrTaco hasn't been pulled in with all the Slashdotting that happens to dozens of websites around the world every day... !

  2. Cost effective? on Afghans Build Open Source Internet From Trash · · Score: 0

    It would probably still be cheaper to buy pre-built stuff from China. The most expensive component they are probably shelling out for is Pringles.

  3. Re:Duh on Microsoft Exploits Firefox 4 Uproar, Beats IE Drum · · Score: 1

    Hardly surprising; businesses like some stability in their apps.

    And important security features such as popup blocking.

  4. Only just??? on Google and MIT Enable Task Transfer Among Devices · · Score: 0

    It's called ActiveSync, and there are implementations (e.g. z-Push, funambol) that have worked on everything from Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones to the iPhone since primordial times, for tasks, contacts and notes. Unless I didn't read TFA and it's talking about something else...

  5. And thats why on Dropbox Password Goof Let Any Password Work For 4 Hours · · Score: 1

    I have a box sitting in a decomissioned nuclear bunker running OpenAFS and securely wrapped Samba.

  6. Testing on PlanetLab Creates a More Advanced Sudo · · Score: 1

    Now somebody just needs to find the buggy buffers and write a few exploits. Nothing like the 20 year-long beta to get critical OS components to a state where sudo is now in *BSD/Linux.

  7. NSA Advises Upgrades to Windows 7 on Old Worm Digs New Dirt At Pentagon · · Score: 1

    Any remember this? NSA Advises Upgrade to Windows 7
    Well, they can eat their fucking radish ;)

  8. On Dream Machines... on 'Dead Media' Never Really Die · · Score: 1

    Myself, I'm waiting for an update to the visual cortex-stimulating Dream Machines of the 1960s.

    There is a whole spectrum of these gadgets available, and I imagine many of them are quite good. Still, the best dream machine is the one that will lie next to you and excite some circuits you never thought existed... Shagadelic, baby!

  9. Ruff Stuff on AC/DC Music Attracts Great White Sharks · · Score: 1

    Then again, who thought sharks were your typical Brittney Spears fans?...

    Shake a fin on me.

  10. Re:You can actually play games on linux? on GNOME Shell Hurts Gaming Performance · · Score: 1

    Unreal Tournament is the first thing to come to mind.

  11. Pad-Phone on ECS Shows Universal PadFone-Like Tablet · · Score: 1

    ...more than meets the eye.

  12. It's the on Is Bill Gates the Cure For What Ails Microsoft? · · Score: 2

    developers, developers, developers, developers, developers.

  13. Re:LTE? on AT&T To Launch LTE Network In 5 Cities This Summer · · Score: 2

    Who would ever need more than 1mbps, right?

  14. Boring on New Bacterium Lives On Caffeine · · Score: 1

    Yours sincerely has been doing it for ages now!

  15. Move along on Dark Energy Confirmed By Australian WiggleZ Sky Scan · · Score: 1

    This is not the energy you are looking for...

  16. Middle East on This Robot Needs a Hug · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The Taliban could do with one of these. They are seriously deprived of love (and as a result of every other step that leads to prosperity). IMO

    We bring you peace.

  17. Throwback to the dark ages on Former Senator Wants to Mine The Moon · · Score: 1

    To be honest, when somebody is not aware of the intricate and precise relationship between the masses and distances of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon, the importance they play (tides anyone?), how fine tuned these values are, and the effects the slightest variations in these values can have on a biblical scale, that person should not be allowed to talk on the matter.

    Furthermore, if ravaging our Planet has taught us anything, is that both mining products and byproducts leave behind extensive pollution, disruption to the surrounding and global ecosystem and is something which is not sustainable in the long term, and that applications that originally required the use of metals, for example, can now be achieved using carbon and nano, and that the future is likely with these materials.

    Oh yeah, recycling, anyone?

    If he's looking for tritium up there, let's see a working tokamak first - the rest is trivial, Falcon Heavy should be ready by then. Otherwise, think about what effect snatching a piece of the Moon is likely to have on Earth and on a global scale.

  18. Re:Russia and Ukraine were second world countries on Idle: Fairytale Character Map Raises Ire In Russia and Ukraine · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Shut up.

  19. Re:Yes, but... on German Aerospace Robot Plays Catch With Two Balls · · Score: 1

    I did actually watch the video, but with no sound...

  20. Yes, but... on German Aerospace Robot Plays Catch With Two Balls · · Score: 1

    Does it run Linux?

  21. Re:Cue the shills and apologists... on B&N Responds To Microsoft's Android Suit · · Score: 0

    If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

  22. Wow on White iPhone 4 Coming Today · · Score: 1

    Been waiting for 6 months to get one! Not really...

  23. Re:Can we get this going the other way? on Amazon Automatic Pricing Lists Book At $23M · · Score: 1

    Cell voice mail Slashdotted. Work/Home mirror anyone? ^_^

  24. Re:Good move on Sony Should Pay For OtherOS Removal, Says Finnish Board · · Score: 2

    If Amazon, Apple and Sony get the message this would take care of a hefty share of offenders.

  25. No-brainer on Gadget Tracks Brainwaves As You Watch TV · · Score: 1

    Might as well draw a flat line reminiscent of a comatose vegetable...
