  1. Even Worse... on AT&T To Decommission Pay Phones · · Score: 1

    Even worse, where are pranksters supposed to phone in bomb threats from? You can't do it from your cell phone, they will find you right away. OMG IT'S BIG BROTHER'S DOING!

  2. Next Step on $999 For a Complete DNA Scan, Worth it? · · Score: 1

    The next step is to incorporate this into an online dating service. Not only can you search on age and sexual preferences, but you can now search for people with or without a specific gene! Search on 3 billion points of compatibility, eat your heart out eHarmony.com!

  3. but... on A Look at Microsoft's Security War Room · · Score: 1

    But do they have a ping-pong table???

  4. Sheesh on Yahoo, Adobe To Serve Ads In PDFs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So if PDF is supposed to be a publishing format, how can the view on the computer be different than the printed view? Why don't they just skip all this craziness and just ad-enable monitors.

  5. Mental Disabilities on The Secret to Raising Smart Kids · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this study takes into account mental disabilities and the restrictions imposed by it?

  6. Re:Not Suprising on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that creating a wrapper class for cout and cerr was a bad idea? Like a base abstract class that has two implementations, one for cout and one for cerr and an interface on top of it?!?!

  7. Re:Why not have voting machines that print ballots on All Fifty States May Face Voting Machine Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It doesn't matter how the vote is made, it matters who counts the votes. We've already seen that dubious vote counters had ignored and thrown out ballots in a previous documentary.

  8. Re:This.. on Why the US Consumer Doesn't Deserve A Decent Robot · · Score: 0

    Us Americans don't want a robot if it can't go get us a beer from the fridge. If it does anything else other than that, we don't want to pay extra for it!

  9. Coal or Oil? on Is the Future of the Electric Car Industry in Silicon Valley? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone know how much more/less polution is put into the atmosphere by using these coal powered cars as opposed to gas powered ones? In most cases it seems that the electricity for these cars is generated by coal burning power plants. I'm not trying to start a flame war, I'm really just wondering if anyone has stats on this.

  10. huge boom on Mass OLPC Production Begins · · Score: 0

    We are going to see a huge boom in downloads of bittorrent clients. Seriously, what are these kids in developing countries going to do with these laptops besides host pirated files and do "research" on wikipedia?

  11. Re:Some information... on Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed · · Score: 0

    it says he play golf, maybe he beat ballmer in a game, you KNOW not to beat the boss!

  12. google time on Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Time to google for articles where he said something good about Linux...

  13. excuse my stupidity on Mandriva's Open Letter To Steve Ballmer · · Score: 5, Interesting

    but what is the "B" word? Blackmail?

  14. Re:Maybe this stems from... on Vista Runs Out of Memory While Copying Files · · Score: 0, Insightful

    To quote one of the posters from the article:

    "The leak is not in the kernel, it's in Explorer. Adrian apparantly has a problem reading between his FUD glasses: the KB article that he links to states that very clearly."

    Still, it is an amazingly stupid bug, but it's not in the kernel, it's just an explorer bug.

  15. Re:wow on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: -1

    You will need to find a local place with enough dark corners for all the slash dotters to stand in by themselves.

  16. Re:C++ long-in-the-tooth? on Firefox Working to Fix Memory Leaks · · Score: -1

    so what, they should run firefox in some ungodly slow virtual machine just so they can have shitty programmers who don't know anything about memory allocation?

  17. Re:about time! on Firefox Working to Fix Memory Leaks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Half the time when I start having memory problems on my PC, I look at firefox (which is just has one tab open with yahoo mail) and it is using like 400 megs of RAM.

  18. Re:Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert on Fantasy Author Robert Jordan Passes Away · · Score: -1

    All I have to say is O*&#$%(*&_()*@#()*&#$)%(*#$%()*&)(*&%)(#*% (*&$%*()%& I READ 12 (*#&$%(*&%(#*&#(*& BOOKS AND GET No Ending?!?!?!?!?

  19. Islamic Jihad Union?? on Eavesdropping Helpful Against Terrorist Plot [UPDATED] · · Score: 0, Funny

    Are you sure it wasn't the Jihad Islamic Union or the Union of Islamic Jihads? SPLITTERS!

  20. Re:Lynx? on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: -1

    yea, you don't even need Lynx for https, us REAL hackers can just telnet to port 443 for https.

  21. TextPad and Hextreme on Windows on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: -1

    Definitely my favorite editors, powerful and small.
    texpad.com - for text/source editing
    hextreme - for hex editing.

  22. TYPICAL on Apple Sued Over iPhone Non-Replaceable Batteries · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is typical Apple. Let's make the device useless in a year so they have to buy another one. And they call MS evil...

  23. Re:1 down... on Second Life Shuts Down Gambling · · Score: -1

    so SL allows you to have sex with kids or something? that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I've never played it.

  24. Re:Original AusCERT on Dangerous Java Flaw Threatens 'Virtually Everything' · · Score: -1

    Does this mean that if I am using the Microsoft VM then I am safe??
