  1. I don't know where to post this... on Robo-Arm Signatures Are Legal, Gov't Buys One · · Score: 1

    Yes, off topic. Where should I post this then?

    Slashdot's CSS is all broken. I can't see any images! And the pages are fugly. My error console in firefox has "$ is not defined" about a million times for slashdot.org, even if I log out. Anyone else getting this? It's been going on for about a day.

    they expect everything to just magically work like something out of hackers no matter how crazy an idea they cook up

    Oh so they want linux. Probably gentoo.

  3. Re:Sigh on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    When you can use a system command as innocuous as "at" to gain system rights, you've got problems.

    In windows XP, you use to be able to schedule explorer to run 1 minute from now. If you killed explorer.exe before then, the new exploerer will inherit the permissions of AT.COM, which is system level.

    That's bad design.

    Wow, I love how Microsoft is just screwing over their old software. Can't stop progress, though. Guess I'm gonna go out and buy Microsoft again and "upgrade" to Vista 7.

  9. Re:Why upgrade? on Use apt-p2p To Improve Ubuntu 9.04 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    If you have 8.10, you cannot upgrade to 9.10 directly. You must upgrade to 9.04 first. That's why you cannot simply wait for 9.10.

  10. Re:Oo, oo, oo! I know! on COBOL Turning 50, Still Important · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hear Java is like violence. If it doesn't work, use more of it.

  12. Re:What about a better conferencing solution? on How To Build an Openfire Chat Server On Debian 5 · · Score: 1

    It's actually really easy to code. I wrote a multicast file transfer application for distributing games at LAN parties, and it only took me a day or so of perl hacking.

    Huh. Try connecting to a bluetooth network. Then you'll be wishing you had Blueman back ;)

  14. Embedded Developer? on Openmoko Phone Not Dead After All · · Score: 1

    ...and most recently, embedded developer support.

    In the current economic climate, I know downsizing is becoming common... but this is ridiculous!

    I actually find it a complement when I'm kicked for "cheating" when I'm actually not :)

    They have a monopoly on GSM. Their talk plans are pricey, but not outrageous. It's only their data plans that are nuts.
