  1. Re:Hilarity on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Maybe Adobe would not consider stopping their support for Apple platforms but they could introduce features in the Windows platform before Apple. Maybe even let Apple languish for a time before updating the Apple platform apps. Adobe would not be cutting off anything just getting even a bit and maybe moving some market share to another platform. It's a thought.

  2. Yeah but... on Solar-Powered Plane Makes First Successful Flight · · Score: 1

    I fail to see what this has to do with iPad but now that YOU brought it up... Can I charge my iPad while flying in this thing?????

  3. names meh, I gotta better name for you on Blu-ray Proposes Incompatible BD-XL and IH-BD Formats · · Score: 1

    IH-BD 5000 XL EXTREME. Yeah, that should do the trick I think

  4. Headline is misleading on Microsoft Investigates Windows 7 "Black Screen of Death" · · Score: 5, Informative

    The issue is not limited to Win7 but effects most versions of windows. A ACL bug causes the black screen http://www.prevx.com/blog/140/Black-Screen-woes-could-affect-millions-on-Windows--Vista-and-XP.html

  5. Seems to be describing what Ubuntu (Gnome) does on Microsoft Patents Sudo's Behavior · · Score: 3, Interesting

    when you attempt to mount a drive that is not defined in fstab. Ubuntu pops up a "enter your password" dialog. M$ maybe up to some dirty old tricks here...

  6. You know... on Car Glass Rules Could Impair Cell, GPS and Radio Signals In CA · · Score: 1

    your tin foil beanies reflect the "bad rays" as good as any of these new fangled glass things. A big plus is all those black helecopters that CA launched wont be able to read your mind!

  7. Re:Out of their hands and back again apparently on Jonathan Zittrain On the Future of the Internet · · Score: 1

    Those who are not open to open source?

    Rejoice! just as it was in the Middle Ages, soon we all will drink nothing but beer.

  9. Pot and kettle still black.. on Bitlocker No Real Threat To Decryption? · · Score: 0

    Well, I think the author may have a few points considering that the government itself does not know how to use encryption properly...

    http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11393 [Security Focus]

    Why we'd expect the average Joe to do it right is beyond me.

    Even if the crypto chip become widely available the NSA/CSA/ big bro will have pulled some patriot act shenanigans to get a back door put in anyway.

    VIVA LA PGP!

  10. Easy to bypass on Toyota Creating In-Vehicle Alcohol Detection System · · Score: 0

    Seems to me that the advantageous use of gloves and the HVAC/windows system could render this system non-functional.

  11. Remove Windows?! on How to get a Refund on Your Unwanted Windows · · Score: 0

    Why would one even contemplate removing the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Surely, there is no better OS on the planet. I've been reading about all the features of Windows on Microsoft's website for many hours now and rest assured I'd never think of asking for Windows to be removed.

  12. Re:No Offense on UFOs In the News · · Score: 0

    Are you saying that the UFO can't use superior alien stealth technologies to avoid being detected by plane old RADAR? Next you gonna tell me those black helicopters http://zapatopi.net/blackhelicopters/ don't exist either. I'm not even asking you about Santa!

    CLR for C# 2.0 claims JIT native compile. See MSDN on the CLR.

  15. You gotta be kidding me on Windows XP SP3 Postponed Until 2008 · · Score: 0

    No more free SP CD's? Crap! That was the only good thing about this whole "buy XP and patch till you die" thing. I'm sure the bells and cable bastards are behind this. They want that fee after you hit a few gigabytes of downloads.

  16. Re:Cue standard slashdot responses: on How Much Does a Vista Upgrade Cost? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    AND..... I, for one, welcome our new KPP overlord ...
