  1. Re:AOL Users on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 1

    No, but they have some really NASTY smileys.

  2. AOL Users on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 5, Funny

    Honestly now, what do you expect? /*ducks

  3. Re:News on slashdot: IIS Market share up on Verified: Record-breaking Pitfall! Run · · Score: 1

    That was an uber-cool error, no doubt, but after reading it I think you missed the target.
    The problem is probably not with IIS here, but with the wonderful OS sitting beneath it(which doesn't know what to do when out of RAM).

    Either way I think we agree on the ultimate problem here: it starts with an M and ends with a dollar sign.

  4. Somebody should ask him.. on The Fiber to the Premises Install Process · · Score: 1

    ..how much porn he's pulled through those hoses.

    Likely answer: Too much for my own good.

  6. The Real Hero on Hacker Resells VOIP For Profit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    in this little tale is man by the name of Robert Moore(RTFA), who did all the hacking.

    But in order to do this, new accounts with the SIP registrar servers had to be created, so how the hell did those go undetected? Also, there seems to be a misunderstanding about the Invesment company. In the end you HAVE to have real IPs even if you use proxy servers because that's how you communicate.

    I dont think it's possible to use port forwarding with current protocols. Or am I wrong?

  7. 4 Years on Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    I have a Linux box that's been running since 2002 providing basic services in an enterprise setting. Running non-stop that is.

    And I'm not treating it like anything special. Give me an MS box that does the same for a week and I'll take it out for dinner.

  8. "super-multi DVD burner" on Notebook with Huge 20 Inch Screen Reviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is that like better than the uber-max DVD burner? Now I know why the post was anonymous.

    ALso, what is it with R&D these days? It's like they make em work straight for a month or so, then they have an office party where they get the managers drunk:

    Employee A: Lets make a 20 inch Laptop with RAID 0. And lasers.

    Manager: Yeah dude that would be amaaaazing. Can I lick your balls?

  9. Re:That sure was fast... on EMI Launches Advertising-Supported P2P Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Indeed. That sucks so much the virii distibutors won't even bother with this thing.

  10. Yes but.... on Wormbot Crawls Through Your Intestines · · Score: 2, Funny

    what happens in the unfortunate (and untimely) event of a fart(known as flatulence)? Can this thing take a storm?

    By God, you are a historian.

  12. Conspiracy Theories Suck on Ballmer Beaten by Spyware · · Score: 1

    Several people here have made the astute observation that something this stupid probably is a farce, a marketing trick...etc. The mods simply pat them on the back on how insightful this is.

    But think again:

    Who reads this shit(TFA)? I would understand if this sort of marketing is targeted at the hopeless average non-tech user of Windows (haha we can't fix the computer but there's always OneCare because that's, you know, different). But it isn't. Geeks are the people who read this stuff. And you just can't sell [we've got a]Live OneCare to geeks with a story like that. It's classical flaimbait.

    P.S OneCare sounds like a massage parlour. Or diapers. Which makes sense, considering the number of times the OS will shit on you. /*ducks

  13. Re:Imagine the google adds... on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 1

    The spam filter and the search are different because the former does not pass your personal information to an engine whose logs are kept and can be used to incriminate you by federal egencies.

    And you are right. I don't store my personal info on their servers, but that's only what the GUI is telling me when I press "delete foever".

  14. Re:Imagine the google adds... on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 1

    Actually, one of the scariest things about gmail is this very fact. They search using your mail. Ever notice the ads actually correspond to words in the actual body, not just the subject lines? Now, when the search takes place, you are logged on. They not only have IP info on you, they have your entire account (who here has used gmail with a CV?) and personal info.

    I hope they stop this soon because it's..well, it's a freaky thing to do.

  15. The Cube on Chinese Mathematicians Prove Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've been staring at a cube for a half-hour now and I can't for the life of me find a hole. Can somebody please explain why my cube has no holes? Does your cube have a hole? Someone please show me the hole!!

    Wait, that came out all wrong.

    If you stretch the putty far enough, it becomes thin, then you fold it over and voila! You have the same effect as cutting and glueing.

  19. Thinking of the Children on Back to the Bunker · · Score: 1

    First things first:

    Sept 11 was catastrophic for the people inside the buildings..you know, the people who fell hundreds of meters to their death, the people who were crushed under the concrete, the people who were vaporized by the flames..

    It was not a terrible time for the person who sat on his comfy chair in a primary school and continued to read Little Red Riding Hood after he got the news. It was more like a 'difficult time', and we all know how they handled that don't we.

    Next:

    Will somebody please think of the goddam children?

  20. Mahrajah of Bangalore on Apple Pulls Out of India · · Score: 1

    No offense to the anonymous coward there, or any other Indians, BUT:

    If you're making $800 a day or whatever you should seriously consider buying Bangalore, declaring yourself Mahrajah, and giving out free DVDs on holidays.

    Seriously..

    If you're getting above average pay (US standards) as an entry level SE, then why did apple try to get Indian talent to develop *in* India? If it's just good engineers, they would have shipped them home (MS is doing that here in Egypt now). Money is obviously involved.

    P.S We all know why Apple left India. It was the food you dorks.

  25. Police on Pirates, Web 2.0, and Hundred Dollar Laptop · · Score: 1

    especially since the police used 50 police officers to seize two computer nerds and their legal representative.

    Sorry to break the emotional run here, but you can't seize a nerd. Well you could, but that's called rape, and is a more complicated issue. And what's that about the lawyer...I didn't know lawyers hang out in server rooms. Probably the only decent lawyer in the world, tho.
