    FDISK? I recommend using Darik's Boot and Nuke...

  2. Re:Misleading headline on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 1

    I find it comforting because it helps channel aggression musically, rather than through real violence. Everyone gets angry, but if you have an outlet that doesn't hurt others, I believe that's a better option.

  3. Re:You Cost Taxpayers $200,000 and... on So You've Lost a $38 Billion File · · Score: 1

  10. Reverse double-speak? on All Microsoft Updates Phone Home · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "When the product IDs and product keys found belong to legal software, Microsoft will delete the data right away; only in cases of suspected software piracy will it store the data, the company has said. In the blog, the company once again explicitly states that it does not use the information gathered to identify or contact users." ...so we are expected to believe (by this wording) that they WILL keep the information relating to illegal installations, but not use it to identify the person using it. Why does that sound like a lie?

  11. Re:What, no Microsoft web server? on 'Gates for President' Group Gives Up · · Score: -1, Redundant

    APACHE!?!?!?

  12. I can do that! on Toward a 3D Search Engine · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I can match 3D shapes rapidly AND mathmatically. That is a set of 4 pyramids. Those are spheres, all three of them. Together, you have 7 three-dimensional shapes.

  17. and... on 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 0

    don't forget about all those freakin' jumpers. you lose one, you'd better hope you have a spare...or you better find a twist-tie and electrical tape...or soldering iron...or just steal one from your friend's computer and let them deal with the weird new 'feature' that the processor developed... um, perhaps more than ten years ago?

    The only problem is that TOR can be traced. Everything can be traced, everything can be broken. It's just going to be up to everybody to stay one step ahead of the machine.

  22. Re:Didn't work when I was in school on Schools Banning Homework? · · Score: 0

    I think there's some kind of sub-motive here: to completely destroy the 'my dog at my homework' line. No homework == no doggie snack.

  23. or perhaps... on Schools Banning Homework? · · Score: 0

    I think a better way to reduce 'student stress' would be to give them more homework, so they 1) become intellegent enough to comprehend a slashdot article and 2) keep them off the streets and in the books where they belong. Another stress reducer: force the kids who bully these poor children to answer CowboyNeal polls until they puke.

  24. You knew this was coming... on MPAA Violates Another Software License · · Score: 1

    In soviet russia, the MPAA pirates from you!!! ...oh wait...

  25. Evil Empire on The Death of Clippy · · Score: 1

    The great Microsoft empire probably did a Redmond-wide roundup of Clippys and made them fight wild staple-pullers in the breakroom.
