  1. Re:Virtualization, Anyone? on Apple, Android Devices Swamp NYC Schools' ActiveSync Server · · Score: 1

    And deploy it on what? The assumption here is the hardware can't handle the load. Deploying a new VM on the same hardware isn't going to make it faster.. quite the opposite. Virtualization doesn't solve all problems, especially when it's probably running on underpowered hardware.

    Remember above when I said "Deploy another host?" That hardware.

  2. We call this... on Adobe Warns of Critical Zero Day Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Adobe has another zero-day for their document reader? We call this, "Tuesday."

  3. We call this... on Adobe Warns of Critical Zero Day Vulnerability · · Score: 0

    Adobe has another zero-day? We call this "Tuesday."

  4. Virtualization, Anyone? on Apple, Android Devices Swamp NYC Schools' ActiveSync Server · · Score: 2

    Deploy another host, deploy another template VM to distribute load? Surely it's a plug-in, click/drag fix once they add a new host, right? +1 Scalability.

  5. Vague site, no details. on London Stock Exchange Was 'Under Major Cyberattack' During Linux Switch · · Score: 2

    The website is extremely vague as to timelines of what system was in place when there were issues. Was .NET still in place, or was it indeed the Linux system when it got hacked. I'd like to see more details.

  6. Yes...but on Researchers Claim 1,000 Core Chip Created · · Score: 0

    Does it run Linux?

  7. Don't give the RIAA any more ideas on German Kindergartens Ordered To Pay Copyright For Songs · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, I'll have to pay royalties next time my damn blinker in my car matches the beat of a song on the radio.

  8. Re:Harddrive in the freezer on Stunts, Idiocy, and Hero Hacks · · Score: 1

    One of the coolest [no pun intended] I did

    I accidentally my own comment.

    One of the coolest [no pun intended] *HACKS* I did

  9. Harddrive in the freezer on Stunts, Idiocy, and Hero Hacks · · Score: 1

    One of the coolest [no pun intended] I did was to place a hard-drive in the freezer overnight so that I could recover data from it the next morning. It took about 3 or 4 days to completely recover the data I needed to, but it definitely worked wonders.

  10. INFORMATION RAPE on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Probably because he's promoting the recent raping of SKRIT information recently released by Wikileaks.

    COINCIDENTALLY, these two incidents happen around the same time?

    IT MUST BE TRUE GUISE.

  11. Apache2, Wireshark on Fedora Project Drops SQLNinja 'Hacker' Tool · · Score: 1

    They should be careful about apache2, it could be used to distribute malicious code over these-here-internets. Or maybe Wireshark will be dropped, I hear it could be used for bad things.

  12. Sent it into space on Geocities To Be Made Available As a 900GB Torrent · · Score: 1

    I think we should showcase our brilliant designs to aliens!

    Also, interestingly enough, blinking text, marquees, and spinning logos still reflect business advertisements today, just look at your $mainstreet or Times Square.

  13. Ubuntu is *NOT* ditching gnome on Ubuntu Moves Away From GNOME · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is going to be some questions about this decision in relation to GNOME. I want to make something crystal clear: Ubuntu is GNOME distribution, we ship the GNOME stack, we will continue to ship GNOME apps, and we optimize Ubuntu for GNOME. The only difference is that Unity is a different shell for GNOME, but we continue to support the latest GNOME Shell development work in the Ubuntu archives.

  14. Switcheroo on 2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a previous article that says ""2012" a Miscalculation; Actual Calendar Ends 2220" http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/10/26/1517242/2012-a-Miscalculation-Actual-Calendar-Ends-2220

    Now it ends again!

    Quick, make another movie.

  15. Our University... on Stupid Data Center Tricks · · Score: 1

    Our University was brought to it's knees when a student in the residents halls was putzing around and accidentally installed a DHCP server on his box. Because the effects were unknown to the student that installed the DHCP server, it took about a day before they knew what was going on and disabled his switchport on the network.

  16. Screw 911 - Update Status! on Girl Seeks Help On Facebook During Assault · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, her first instinct, after being sexually assaulted, was to grab her music player and go on Facebook. Telephones exist. They also make calls. Fuck, we're retarded.

  17. Unfortunately, it works. on The Unstoppable 'Tech Support' Scam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can only do so much to save the end-user from themselves.

  18. What the hell is with that link? on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 1

    What the hell does that last link have to do with a collegehumor video?

  19. orly? on Microsoft To Distribute Third-Party Patches · · Score: 1

    What could possibly go wrong!

  20. Re:Enhance on Photoshop CS5's Showpiece — Content-Aware Fill · · Score: 5, Funny

    "CSI Enhance" tool

    I can see the fingerprint in the reflection on his eyeball, it must be the killer!

  21. The First Rule of iPhone Development on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    The first rule of iPhone Development is you don't talk about iPhone Development.

  22. Exec from TFA on Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    A Kingston executive said it was unclear if stomach acid could damage a flash drive. "As you might imagine, we have no actual experience with someone swallowing a USB," Mike Sager wrote in an e-mail to TSG.

    As opposed to, say, "HALP, I SWALLOWED A SERIAL!"

  23. Something to keep in mind... on Which Linux For Non-Techie Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    ...is that Linux is not Windows. Make sure they know not to expect exactly what they are familiar with when they used Windows. I think skins to make it look and/or feel like Windows are dangerous, because other behavior is expected, too.

    On most, you can choose between KDE, Gnome, and a range of other desktop environments where you can pick where the panels, (or kickers?) are, arrange the clock to be in the corner, etc.

    Ubuntu has a strong community behind it if they want to venture out to support for themselves.

    I'm not familiar with other distros and the strength of their communities, but also keep that in mind when deciding which one to give them.

  24. Re:"OSs released since 1993" on Newly-Found Windows Bug Affects All Versions Since NT · · Score: 1

    It's just not fair to go digging 14 years prior to the date when Microsoft finally starting taking security seriously.

    Yes, forget every system that may still be running these OS's! I stand they didn't start taking security seriously until "Cancel/Allow," so how dare you dig any further for vulnerabilities!

  25. Deb and PPA on OpenShot Video Editor Reaches Version 1.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is pretty neat, they also provide a .deb and ppa for installing. The demo video looks cool, I've never heard of this software before but it's good to see something new come out of the woodwork and do something halfway decent.
