  1. Spelled: Finjan on "Crimeserver" Full of Personal/Business Data Found · · Score: 1

    The correct spelling is Finjan (not Finjin). The word means a small metal container in which Israelis (and Arabs) cook their coffee.

  2. Re:solve the cause, not the symptom on Israelis Sue Government For Laser Cannons · · Score: 1

    You're making a big (and very common) mistake: the majority of the Palestinians in Gaza are in favor of Hamas and its tactics. Note that Hamas won big time in free and open Palestinian elections. Also, Gazans routinely show up in huge numbers for pro-Hamas rallies. While maybe it would be nice if the situation was one where a small group of terrorists hijacked the entire Strip and was holding it hostage, the truth of the matter is that the average resident of Gaza approves of Hamas and would never join forces with Israel against the terrorists. Let's not get swept up in wishful thinking, the Palestinians willingly chose a terrorist organization to run their government and are now paying the price.

  3. Re:so? what else is there to do? on Inside A Korean Rehab Camp For Web Addiction · · Score: 1

    spoken like someone that hasn't gotten head in a while.

  4. It's official on Paul Graham Claims "Microsoft is Dead" · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Claims "Paul Graham is Dead"

  5. What the mayor really said on GTA IV Trailer Inflames Big Apple Politicians · · Score: 1

    From TFA: "The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers" this is highly controversial...

  6. Re:The real story on Using Google Earth to See Destruction · · Score: 1

    That sounds good in theory but the price of gasoline would still double or triple, so both sides would lose.

  7. Re:Some thoughts on strategy and the endgame on Cisco VP Explains Lawsuit Against Apple · · Score: 1

    Did you just write "my 0.2$"? You should be working for Verizon.

  8. Re:It IS Vista's fault on Microsoft Worried OEM 'Craplets' Will Harm Vista · · Score: 2, Informative

    in /etc/security/limits.conf

    @users soft nproc 100
    @users hard nproc 150

    no more fork bomb.

  9. Youtube's impact on the music scene on Unrefined "Musician" Gains a Global Audience · · Score: 3, Informative

    Another example of a great piece of music (or something like it) that only works when accompanied by video. We'll be seeing more and more developments in this direction thanks to Youtube! See Chuck Klostermann's recent article in Esquire for a full dissection.

  10. Malthus again... on Oceans Empty By 2048? · · Score: 1

    From the relevant Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthus Malthus continues to have considerable influence to this day. One famous recent example of this is Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb. Ehrlich predicted, in the late 1960s, that hundreds of millions would die from a coming overpopulation crisis in the 1970s, and that by 1980 life expectancy in the United States would be only 42 years.

  11. Re:just keep makin' babies on Oceans Empty By 2048? · · Score: 1

    The Malthusian Swamp is farther away than it has been in the last two hundred years. There's plenty of room in America, plenty of forest and open space to build more cities. New technology will improve our lives and the market will birth alternative energy... its all just a matter of supply and demand. Sure some fish may die out but we humans are way better at adapting ourselves and environment. I'd also just like to point out that environmentalists in general have as their bottom lines the philosophy that people dieing = good, just like the sad clown that posted above.

  12. To the "100 is always the avg LOL!!1" crowd on Modern Humans Far More Robust Than Ancestors · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's entirely possible that the overall average is an all-time constant 100 but that people being tested in recent years have consistently beaten the historical average.

  13. But I thought it was only Republicans... on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    who wanted to stifle personal freedoms. I'm an indepenedent myself but to those who were saying "those damn Republicans again" I'd like to point out that given the 410-15 vote, nearly all the Dems voted in favor of this ludicrous bill.

    And if we're on the topic, does anyone know where I can find a fiscally conservative and socially neutral party?

  14. Give Israel +1 moderation on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    A population smaller than Chicago and so many contributions to science in general and hi-tech in particular.

  15. I just realized... on MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week · · Score: 5, Funny

    Myspace is Slashdot's Anti-Christ.

  16. WMP's DRM is FUBAR on Adware Spreads Through Myspace · · Score: 1

    I _never_ press "Accept" when prompted for DRM acquisition by WMP. With cases such as this one, it wont be long before Microsoft will have to come up with a better solution. Perhaps some sort of certificate or other registry is sufficient.

  17. Omnipresence anyone? on The Energy of Empty Space != Zero · · Score: 1

    As science progresses it stumbles upon knowledge that was revealed in Genesis thousands of years ago.

  18. Both Moral and Economical on Western Union Blocking Money Transfers to Arabs · · Score: 1
    The Arab community must share some of the responsibility for this sort of policy (and we'll be seeing this more and more). They have not done a good enough job of discouraging terrorism among themselves and if you have been to a pro-Arab protest you are bound to see a large number of burning American flags along with general anti-Western vitriol.

    The bottom line: if United Airlines had been pulling aside and inspecting every single Muhammed that was in line to board, they would have caught a certain Muhammed Atta and saved themselves billions. From an economic standpoint therefore this is a prudent policy.

  19. Greasemonkey can save Myspace on The Man Behind MySpace · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have to admit that the blaring music videos and songs with which people fill up their Myspace pages almost made me leave the whole thing but Greasemonkey saved the day. Using a potent combination of scripts I no longer see any: - formatting - media - ads - annoying sections like "Cool Person of the Day" If someone wants to really push Greasemonkey into the limelight, I would suggest pointing out these scripts to the millions of Myspace users.

  20. Re:Oh crap. . . on Why Apple Backed out from India? · · Score: 1

    I've lived in Cupertino for over 15 years and in that time house prices have almost doubled, along with many other living costs. Anyone looking for a home under $1 million or an apartment under $500k needs to live forty minutes away. I wonder how many homes you can buy in Bombay for that kind of money...
