  1. Re:cheap cards cost more on NVIDIA Releases new Budget GPUs · · Score: 1

    Who cares about the games? this card is simply meant for the majority of the world that doesnt play games.

  2. Re:Why the FBI doesn't act on Meet the Botnet Hunters · · Score: 1

    Exactly... the only reason they couldnt charge that much was because they were selling them, had it been just a normal company document they could have charged the 100K as damages

  3. Re:delete themselves on Meet the Botnet Hunters · · Score: 1

    Well figure this: since the botnet creator isnt being gone after when they ARE being destructive... what is the chances they will come after you when you more than likely wouldnt be destructive (unless a freak accident)... I would guess less than zero. they are not doing anything about the damage being done now...why would that changeif something went awry and causes some minor problems The fact that the courts will never be involved is the key point, the system currently is doing nothing about the botnets to begin with and have no ambition to at this point. If they have no interest in it, they will not bother with you either.

    Simply make up a number... do it like the big corps do: Yes, that infect 500 of our machines at $2000 a piece... Hey it works everywhere else. you can easily bullshit like thtat and the FBI wont care or know as long as they get to be involved with a big money item like that. AT&T tried to do that years back claiming a document that was secret cost like $100,000+ to produce (they included the entire years salary of the person to type it, the computer, the printer)

  5. Re:delete themselves on Meet the Botnet Hunters · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    and I again say: WHO CARES? cross the line for a moral good. Just dont get caught and try not to cause anymore damage than the botnet host has already suffered.

  6. Re:delete themselves on Meet the Botnet Hunters · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They are running a botnet, screw them. they obvisousely didnt notice the botnet (and more than likely the huge amounts of spyware) so basically. I wouldnt feel guilty breaking a half functioning system.

  7. Re:Danger, Will Robinson on Meet the Botnet Hunters · · Score: 2, Funny

    oh no a pimply faced "mobster" might come after you.... give me a break

  8. Re:OpenBSD offended their sugardaddy on OpenBSD Project in Financial Danger · · Score: 1

    in reality he probably pissed off his contact person at darpa, well because he has the personality of an asshole. He tried to pretend anyone cares what he says. It wasnt some big conspiracy, hell if i was giving him money and he acted like he does, well it simply wouldnt be worth the headache.

  9. Re:Hooray! on What's Next in Telecommunications? · · Score: 1

    As the creator of dilbert said, honestly, why would you want to look at those people, most likely they are ugly. That is why we will have Digital Representatives. Attractive looking characters to represent us.

    Its a fucking hardware review you dipshit.

    what are some decent clubs up there

  12. Soccer isnt the most popular sport on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 1

    in the world... In actual particapants, volleyball is about three times the size. and in viewership: formula one racing. http://www.johann-sandra.com/popular.htm here for more info

  13. Re:Should we invoke the "Do No Evil" clause here? on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ahh yes the Nike lies pop up once again.... in reality. Nike did not own those factories (subcontractor that they nailed to the wall after it came to light) In fact they had numerous civil right leaders as well as UN ambassadors verify the much better working conditions that were the standard and not the exception to Nike. All told, they could do more, however in reality there factories were never as bad as what was claimed I havent bought a nike product in 10 years, but that is simply because i think they are overpriced and redicoulous looking

  14. Re:The underlying problem is still piracy. on Sony DRM and the New Digital Hole · · Score: 1

    actually a MAJORITY of people inside the United States copy stuff. 50million copied on naster and that was years ago...it keeps going up

    The part about you being a loser.

  17. Re:How it's written is what matters on U.S. House Clears Anti-Internet Gambling Bill · · Score: 1

    Yeah I didnt exactly get this blocking thing either... hell the US doesnt block blatantly bad things like child porn...however it is illegal and can be prosecuted. I personally dont see a problem with gambling online and dont see a need for the law, but the WTO shouldnt be able to stop a debateably bad thing (whether or not it is is immaterial) Making something illegal and blocking things are different. Blocking anything is bad in my opinion, making something illegal is okay in certain extremely limited circumstances (ie child porn)

  18. Re:Cut out the hype, GNOME on Gnome 2.14 Released · · Score: 1

    Ever consider they were trying to give congrats to the people that helped in this release. Basically you are a KDE user who doesnt want anything to do with gnome (outside of bitching about it on slashdot) why ?

  19. What did you expect on Gates Mocks MIT's $100 Laptop · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Gates was never a real visionary. Excellent business man right from the very beginning but he never really had the visionary spirit. It brings up the debated comment about memory, it is dumb to most people, but really it isnt that dumb of a comment, just a lack of vision in what could come next. He knows business, not technology, he just happens to be in the tech business. He could have just as easily been in a different business and been very successful

  20. Re:Main point of this release on Gnome 2.14 Released · · Score: 1

    Actually what you said was a suprise cause a lot of us never even thought of it that way, so it was an interesting read but it brings up this possibility. Why not design malloc with different implementations designed for server vs desktop (two very different uses). The interfaces would be the same, and it could be kept that it would behave the same way however it would just be more efficient based on what you are doing.

  21. Re:Big Picture on Copy Protection Firms Encourage Piracy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes but then again, game companies dont wnat you trying out a game first and finding it sucks so you dont buy it. they would rather you find out after you purchased it

  22. Re:Mod parent up! on U.S. Internet Growth Stalling · · Score: 1

    And the layoffs are just to meet those outrageous expectations (and make certain people rich) The late 90's was particularly funny in regards to the market. No one could comprehend that it wasnt going to last forever and were shocked when the huge stock increases came to a halt.

  23. Re:Ummm on Review of OWC Mercury On the Go Portable Disk · · Score: 1

    um most people EXPECT to know where a reviewed item can be purchased. It just makes sense. it would be a crappy review if I wasnt even given the info of where the item is available. not to mention the site offers some specs that an interested party would want after reading the review.

  24. Re:Enough with the hand wringing on U.S. Internet Growth Stalling · · Score: 1

    Why not, the entire concept of the most investors in the stock market is based on that premise...which just means investors are idiots.

    Yes yes, we get it. Slashdot isnt allowed to mention any company or product becuase then it will automatically be an advertisement.
