  1. Re:But Huawei gets away with it? on 5 Years In Prison For Selling Fake Cisco Gear · · Score: 1

    "They take cisco hardware and repackage it"

    That doesn't really meet the definition of "counterfeit."

  2. Re:A demonstration on why Slashdot has gone to Hel on Kepler Discovers 'Phantom' Exoplanet · · Score: 2

    "Slashdot ain't what it used to be."

    On the contrary, Slashdot is exactly what it used to be.

  3. Oh, they did their own audit on GlobalSign Web Server Hacked, But Not CA · · Score: 1

    I mean, it's not like they stand to lose their entire business if they were compromised or anything. I'm sure they can be trusted.

  4. Re:Jobs? on AT&T Responds To DoJ Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    And neither will competition increase. It's almost as though the truth is exactly opposite what AT&T is claiming. And by "almost," of course, I mean "exactly."

  5. Re:Curious on (Possible) Diginotar Hacker Comes Forward · · Score: 1

    If Sony had owned them the password wouldn't have been "Pr0d@dm1n". It would have been "4".

  6. Re:Amazing - doh on Journal Editor Resigns Over Flawed Global Warming Paper · · Score: 1

    "Ever wonder why Greenland is named 'Greenland'?"

    Marketing.

  7. Re:subject on Ask Slashdot: Math Curriculum To Understand General Relativity? · · Score: 1

    Oops, clarification: "abstract algebra/real analysis" should have been a comma instead of a slash. They're different courses.

  8. subject on Ask Slashdot: Math Curriculum To Understand General Relativity? · · Score: 1

    You're going to need tensor calculus. Probably the best way to get a curriculum is to look at whether your school offers this, then look at the prerequisites for the class and work your way down. It will require a minimum of several semesters of calc (these would have been calc 1, 2 and 3 at my school), a theory or proofs course, probably abstract algebra/real analysis, linear algebra, differential equations (if it's offered as a separate course from calc 2 & 3), and a solid grounding in vectors.

  9. Re:subject on Hurricane Irene Prompts Unprecedented Evacuation of NYC · · Score: 1

    A typo is wehn you accidentally hit the wrong key or hit the right keys in the wrong order, as I've just demonstrated (that was in fact a legitimate typo, which I at first corrected and then changed back to illustrate the point). Using the wrong word entirely out of ignorance ("cities" vs. "city's"), however, is not a typo.

  10. Re:subject on Hurricane Irene Prompts Unprecedented Evacuation of NYC · · Score: 1

    Yes, anyone can make a typo. I do it myself. But that wasn't a typo.

  11. subject on Hurricane Irene Prompts Unprecedented Evacuation of NYC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "the cities coastal areas"

    This is what journalism has come to. Writers who can't fucking write.

  12. Re:Gamestop's Side on GameStop Offers $50 Certificate For Coupon Fiasco · · Score: 1

    "From their point of view publishers have been trying to ruin their business for a long time now."

    If they don't want to sell items that include incentives from those publishers, they are free not to sell those items. If instead they open the boxes, steal part of what's being sold, and then sell those boxes as "new," well that's when people tend to not take Gamestop's side.

    I was going to pre-order Forza 4 from Gamestop before this happened. Now I'm going to pre-order it from somewhere else. Anywhere else. Fuck Gamestop.

  13. Re:Corporate naming b.s. on GameStop Offers $50 Certificate For Coupon Fiasco · · Score: 1

  14. Still needs a "Subject:" just for basic trolling on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Will the new Editor-In-Chief actually proofread submissions and weed out dupes?

  15. Re:The patent in question; D504,889 on Samsung Cites 2001: A Space Odyssey In Apple Patent Case · · Score: 0

    Whoosh.

    typing, typing, typing extra useless shit because Slashdot doesn't like users who type too fast. How are you? I'm good. Just killing time. Doop dee doo. OK, that should just about fucking do it.

  16. ORLY? on Anonymous Breaches Another US Defense Contractor · · Score: 3, Funny

    "The politically oriented hacking group Anonymous"

    Hey, guess how long it took me to realize TFA had zero credibility?

  17. subject on Copycat "hiPhone 5" Surfaces In China · · Score: 1

    But will it run iOS?

    Speaking of which, how did Apple not manage to get sued by Cisco?

  18. Re:At least link the correct story on Study Compares IQ With Browser Choice · · Score: 1

    "I feel like the good times of slashdot are over, and only idiots and nostalgic users are still around."

    Don't forget us trolls!

  19. Say it together: correlation != causation on Study Compares IQ With Browser Choice · · Score: 1

    Shit, I'd better start using Opera so people think I'm smrt! I mean smart!

  20. subject on What Do I Do About My Ex-Employer Stealing My Free Code? · · Score: 1

    You should go back there, burn the building down, and then write them a note explaining that they'd best not fuck with you again. ...and this is why you don't ask for advice on Slashdot.

  21. Re:BSA are the bad guy? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With the Business Software Alliance? · · Score: 1

    To answer your question, yes. BSA are the bad guy[s].

  22. subject on Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success" · · Score: 1

    If by "clear reduction in piracy" they mean "Skidrow released our connection-required titles days earlier than retail with the online requirement patched right out," then I wholeheartedly agree. That did happen.

  23. Re:It is system design and infrastructure on UK Taxpayers' Money Getting Wasted On IT Spending · · Score: 1

    "And in any case much of our corruption is exported from the United States, isn't it, Rupert, Donald and co.?"

    Rupert's from Australia, which as I recall is Britain's doing.

    Don't blame him on us. We don't want him either.

    I can't believe no one thought to subtitle that movie "Department of Redundancy Department."

  25. Hmmm on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 5, Funny

    My wife always comes to me when the computers act up. I think I can leverage this into a blowjob.
