  1. More on crackpot conspiracy theories on NIST Releases Report On WTC 7 Collapse · · Score: 1

    2008-3 = 2005.

    In all seriousness, why is it it took ~4 years for this study to actually get started? IMHO you got to thank the crackpot conspiracy theorists, if it wasn't for them this whole thing would have never been explained...

  2. Makes you think on China Blocks iTunes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Would the US ban an album called songs for Guantanamo? Hmnn, interesting.

  3. Oh my god. on Firefox SSL-Certificate Debate Rages On · · Score: 3, Funny

    What the heck is wrong with mozilla? Everybody knows convenience of web developers is more important than actually making the whole SSL stuff worth it. Who cares if allowing sites to sign their own certificates makes the whole SSL thing extremely pointless? What's important here is the webmasters' comfort.

  4. Oh my god! Coldest year of the century! on 2008 Is the Coldest Year of the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    You mean? Out of the EIGHT last years this is the coldest? Oh my God, It is freezing!? On related news this has been the shortest Century in the Gregorian calendar so far...

  5. Re:Hehe on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1
    Now, think about the reasons behind childish morons like YOU! Your issue must be a case for psychologists worldwide.

    Either way, really: "little girl beats US olympic team, "search engine hacker" finds stuff on google cache after a google search. Awesome, just awesome, I gotta thank everybody for giving me this opportunity at laughter.

  6. Smooth move MS! on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1
    We were running of vista jokes, thanks Microsoft!

    Vista: It's an upgrade about nothing!

    "Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason."

    "It's the software equivalent of a complete rectal examination."

    "It hates me so much, I'm starting to like it"

    "These pretzels are making me thirsty."

  7. Hehe on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 0, Troll

    The US crowd seems to be compelled not only to prove they lost but that they lost to some sort of 14 years old super human! Anyway "Search engine hacker" found stuff on google cache... *gasp*

  8. err? on Watchmen Delayed, Or Worse · · Score: 1

    "Or worse..." - Not delayed?

  9. hmnn on Japan Demands Probe of iPod Nano Flameouts · · Score: 1
    • Planes are not zeppelins.
    • I'd rather be set on flames than not bring a music player with me for the flight, really.
  10. Re:To be fair to the corporates on Why Corporates Hate Perl · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sometimes I get the impression that the prophets for the Cs' demise might keep being wrong from quite a while, this has been predicted even since the nineties and the Cs are still around, I think that more dynamic languages focused in easy to use and fast development of mediocre apps are good things, however they are more likely to replace each other than to replace the Cs which are meant for another kind of application.

    I mean, python's all right as a language, but even if python took over - someone will have to code the interpreter...

  11. err on Vendors Rally While Windows Sleeps · · Score: 1

    A question, why would a user want internet to be able to wake a computer up?

  12. My problem with flash in ubuntu hardy 8.04 on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1

    Is that I have personally never experienced problems with flash, it was even easy to install it, and I have used ubuntu ever since breezy badger times. That's the problem and it is that the experiences are quite inconsistent, with a huge group of people always having issues.

  13. Re:WTF kind of article is this? on Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies · · Score: 1

    I mean... the slashdot summary had as much information as the article!

  14. Re:Watching China on Watching China Turn Off the Pollution · · Score: 1

    I said they are either sissies or it is a circus, and they are faking it. Since they are not sissies (from your logic), take a guess what really happened.

  15. "US voters" ... "informed" ... "science" ... on Are US Voters Informed Enough About Science? · · Score: 1

    haha, this made my day!

    American athletes suck?

    I mean, really, they are athletes, their lungs are supposed to be much better than those of an average Chinese guy. Either that was just a circus from the US committee or your athletes are sissies .

    Is democracy supposed to prevent a country from being invaded?

  19. Re:Go Georgia! on Evidence of Russian Cyberwarfare Against Georgia · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I mean no big power should ever invade a little country. Oh , unless we are the big country and are chasing a terrorist, even though we wouldn't even find the terrorist there...

  20. I am rich! on 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1,000 · · Score: 1

    And stupid enough to waste 1K on this! Frightening?

  21. Re:Cyber 9/11? on Lessig Predicts Cyber 9/11 Event, Restrictive Laws · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The question is not whether a cyber 9/11 is possible but whether the press can hype it enough to make it look as bad.

  22. Re:Not your average internet troll on NYT Explores the World of Internet Trolls · · Score: 1

    Well, actually I somehow failed to specify, I was just talking about the ones who thought that trolling that dead boy's family was a lulz, the rest of the trolls described are ok as trolls, I guess.

  23. These fanboys on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 1

    If you really think D3 is WoWish, you either:

    • Just happened to have taken a look at a single screenshot and have totally missed the gameplay video, hence you are clueless about the real look of d3.
    • Would think D2 was also WoWish, since color means 'WoW gayness'.
    • You are just plain dumb.
  24. So. on Microsoft Working On "Post-Windows" Cloud Computing OS · · Score: 1

    this story sounds familiar to you, it probably is.

    I guess slashdot is now posting dupes even when they are aware of it.

  25. err on Miguel De Icaza On Mono, Moonlight, and Gnome · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Miguel de Icaza: "We could refresh the look and feel of the entire desktop with Moonlight"

    Translation: We'll try to make the whole desktop dependent on a MS standard.

    Interview: Mono leader criticizes double standards when it comes to the open web and talks about future developments and the increasing openness at Microsoft

    The increasing openness of these guys?

    The problem with 3.5 is, that it includes 3.0 where they basically dumped a bunch of libraries that are not really part .Net

    You meant MS changed the whole definition of what is part of .net to include stuff not covered by OSP or that are not portable? Shocker.

    Also one thing that is very unique: Microsoft is going to be distributing an add-on to Moonlight called the "media pack" And that add-on contains all the media codecs that Silverlight uses, so it contains the MP3 decoder, the VC1 decoder, WMV and all that stuff. We are going to provide Moonlight and they are adding the codec parts - and this is going to be totally legal, it's something that they are actually encouraging - that's pretty sweet

    Moonlight is going to require a proprietary addon in order to actually interoperate with silverlight, pretty sweet.

    For every distribution, also x86, x86_64 and PowerPC. In fact we are going to provide binaries for BSDs, for Solaris - both on SPARC and Intel.

    Same old, you'll have to download them from MS and only MS, and SLED will be the only distro one able to ship them. Oh, it looks like Icaza actually confirms so in page 2.

    I hope so. It might end up that at some point Microsoft just open ups .NET

    hahahahahha

    you get C#, you get a DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime), you get a fantastic graphics engine with a fantastic animation framework, you get video, you get audio, multi-language compatibility and so on and so forth. And I get a JITted language also, and a static language with dynamic features that beats Javascript out of the water.

    As a hacker you get Microsoft, Microsoft, compatibility to Microsoft languages, and Microsoft. And beating javascript with Microsoft.

    As websites start using Silverlight we don't want Linux to be in a position where you can't access those websites. Also we thought Silverlight will be important enough and have enough market share just because it is Microsoft doing it

    Specially after the free, false advert of 'silverlight works in Linux' thanks to moonlight.

    I mean - how many people outside of the technology world really know about Linux at the moment.

    Typical MS fanboyism from Icaza

    And even the Mozilla guys - the keynote we had here was done on a mac, every single Mozilla developer uses a Mac.

    Diverting attention are we?

    And it's funny, they constantly attack Silverlight, they constantly attack Flash and then all of them use proprietary operating systems, they don't seem to have a problem doing it. And then they had the Guiness record thing for Firefox 3 and you went to the website and it had a flash map to show where people are downloading - so there definitely is a double standard here.

    Icaza here's the deal: AT least FLASH is NOT FREAKING MICROSOFT! Don't you get it? call it a double standard if you want, just missing all the previous record of Microsoft's anticompetitive actions and the clear intent to take over the world with .net and how Mono makes Linux threated by it... It is getting ridiculous.

    And that's after all their claiming that you can do everything in AJAX - so they definitely don't "walk the walk".

    Mozilla is evil therefore we'll help poisoning the web with Silverlight, fuck open standards.
