  1. Dunno on Firefox SSL-Certificate Debate Rages On · · Score: 0

    I have a bit of a mixed opinion of this - Certainly it's useful on untrusted websites... but I often have to use firefox with various exchange webmail servers... All using self-signed certificates. It gets slightly annoying... But at the same time, I'd rather be asked about accepting self-signed certificates than not... Perhaps Something similar to the IE7 warning page is in order?

  2. It would sag eh? on Mars Harder and Colder Than Previously Thought · · Score: 0

    So, does that mean that if I don't want my bed to sag I should make it very cold? Or buy a hard one? Or fill a Waterbed with Liquid Nitrogen? Wait, Scratch the last one.. I'm sure that I could use that liquid nitrogen for something else....

  3. Re:So that must be on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 0

    But there's still hope. I'm waiting for Final Halo MCCXVI, or Grand Theft Auto 19.

    But on a more serious note, It's nice to see games (even non-games) that step outside the boundaries of normality, sometimes you wnd up with a really interesting game that's worth playing. Others, you ask? Think of a certain Romero game..

  4. Re:Does this mean ... on Nanoscale Analysis Labs · · Score: 0

    So that was you? Damn.. I hope so, in that case - there'll be evidence that you did it when... well.. You get the picture. "Honest, your Honour, it really WAS that bad!"

  5. Did anyone else.. on Text Messages Used To Monitor Elections · · Score: 0

    Read the title as "Text Messages used to monitor Electrons"?

    I Need to stop reading slashdot five minutes after I wake up.

  6. Re:WHS on Microsoft Pressures Testers After Software Leak · · Score: 0

    Oh.. Rights Degradation. Linux has yet to catch up there.

  7. Re:Thats just one more reason to use a silencer on Listening Robot Senses Snipers · · Score: 0

    You might want to brush up on your knowledge of "silencers". A silencer for a rifle of that size is damned near impossible to make. Silencers reduce range and accuracy, and a sniper needs both of those to be at their best, or risk having to take a second shot - possibly compromising his position. It's a good idea in theory, but it wouldn't work in practice (unfortunately.. ).

  8. Re:Metric / Imperial on Undersea Cable Repair Via 19th Century Tech · · Score: 0

    Just like to point out.. You are the one that uses "wierd E and R switched" metric.. We southern hemisphere people tend to use normal "re". You should try it sometime. Centre, Litre, Metre.. the list goes on..

  9. Re:nlite on DIY Service Pack For Windows 2000/XP/2003 · · Score: 0

    Actually, From what I gather the utility is made for boxen that are not patched (probably older CDs used to install windows), nLite will slipstream patches saving time for multiple reinstalls (CDs are slooow), And with the added bonus that you can make an unattended install.

  10. Re:WTF on Creepy Windows XP Halloween mask · · Score: 0

    It must be in some obscure dialect.. like Toshiban..

  11. Re:Don't come to Australia on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 0

    Actually, Australians tend to have a much wider view of the world when compared to Americans. Although I do agree with you on the point of not coming here; Our broadband SUCKS! Try somewhere a little further north... where you can get gigabit to your house.

  12. Re:Since /.'s already turned into bugtraq... on Code Posted For New IE Exploit · · Score: 0

    Because that would be like cheating at Roulette. We don't need stuff like that. This IS news for nerds, right? Only geeks need exploits.

  13. Re:I just don't care anymore... on Windows Vista RC1 Complete · · Score: 5, Funny

    500 useless posts on the wall
    500 useless posts,
    Mod one down to the ground
    499 useless posts on the wall.. ;)

  14. Re:Poems set to music on Music Industry Looking for Lyrics Payoff · · Score: 0

    SSSH. Don't tell the RIAA that. Next you'll have DRMed poetry.

  15. Re:Gold Farmers on Gold Mining Bacteria · · Score: 1, Funny

    I dunno.. there's still more chinese than there are bacteria..

  16. Slashdot? on Amnesty International vs. Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    And if Slashdot were to be censored, how many of you would then be concerned?
