  1. Code Editor on Dreamweaver Is Dying; Long Live Drupal! · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lets not forget that Dreamweaver does more than WYSIWYG sites, it has a pretty decent code editor in it with built in libraries for JS, .NET, ColdFusion, HTML, JSP, PHP, ActionScript, Java, and others. I've actually used it quite extensively for straight code as it does a decent job of highlighting tags and the project organization is pretty nice too.

  2. Re:Webmail on Large Web Host Urges Customers to Use Gmail · · Score: 1

    You can use Google for you domain for free, you just don't get unlimited users.

  3. Re:More info about the hardware? on Help Slashdot Test Our New Data Center · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only dual 10G uplinks?

  4. Broadband Penetration on Japan Launches "Super-Speed" Internet Satellite · · Score: 1

    This should help with broadband penetration. I know, you'll never be able to use it for gaming. However, when the US isn't on a top ten list of connected countries, its really sad. Something like this could help those in very rural areas get connected.

  5. Hardware Company on Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe · · Score: 1

    Lest we all forget that Apple is first and foremost a hardware company that just happens to provide an operating system to work no their hardware and a few applications designed as eye-candy to try and pull people away from evil Microsoft.

  6. Job Posting on Your Chance to be an Astronaut · · Score: 1
    Here is the actual posting http://jobsearch.usajobs.opm.gov/getjob.asp?JobID=62398554&AVSDM=2007-09-18+00%3A00%3A04&Logo=0&pg=3&jbf574=NN*&FedEmp=N&sort=rv&vw=d&ss=0&brd=3876&FedPub=Y&caller=/agency_search.asp.

    Take note that you need 1,000 hours flight time in a jet air craft. Good luck with that if you weren't in the military or fly commercially.

  7. Re:Call center in Oregon... on Netflix Makes It Easy To Reach a Human · · Score: 1

    Wow a call center in America! Lets get excited. Companies who know whats good for them don't send jobs to other countries, take the call center I work in (see sig). Company is based in Delaware, call centers (both of them) are in Delaware and always will be. Why is this news? They probably are not open 24 hours either.

  8. No Junkware on $298 Wal-Mart PC Has OO.org, No Crapware · · Score: 0, Troll

    It runs VISTA, no wonder there is no junkware; those programs don't run on Vista just like your hardware!

  9. Re:With Cuba, it's personal (plus sugar lobby...) on No OLPCs for Cuba, Ever · · Score: 1

    Except that Cuban cigars have fallen far behind the rest of the world. Once the Embargo came down all the cigar manufacturers and growers got the hell out and moved to places in South/Central America. There was an article on some cigar site when Castro was in the hospital a while ago that mentioned that Cuban cigars will be, both, extremely expensive and most likely not very high quality for several years after.

  13. Re:Old news... on Perfect Silicon Sphere to Redefine the Kilogram · · Score: 1

    Of course you've already heard about this in the EU. Slashdot is a primarily US focused site, and as we all know the US is stuck with retarded imperial measurements. No wonder we lag behind the rest of the world in education, jobs, and I see now we've dropped in broadband penetration as well.

    So if I left a CD out on a table and someone came by and copied it, would I be liable.

    Yep I remember using i2hub, sweet program. The network admins at my school even used it to download movies.

  16. Re:Does "Not M$" == "Bad for Business" on How Big Will the iPhone Become? · · Score: 1

    We seem to forget that most decision makers (i.e. the ones with the money) assume that the biggest (MS, IBM many years ago, etc) are the best at what they do.

  17. Re:The problem... on Senator Warns of Email Tax This Fall · · Score: 1

    Why don't you run for office yourself? Or, revolt against the government. You'll find it is legal (a right in fact), you just can't go shooting up the place.

  18. Re:The problem... on Senator Warns of Email Tax This Fall · · Score: 2, Interesting
    You're both wrong. The problem is the majority of Americans just don't give a damn anymore. Look at the percentage of citizens in Iraq that went to vote and then the percentage of Americans that vote. Remember the Iraqis were threatened with death if they showed at polling locations.

    I saw/read something where a commentator mentioned that Americans have 24 hour amnesia, meaning they wake up in the morning and remember jack about the last day. Learn some of America's history and for God's sake vote (or don't bitch as was mentioned in a previous reply).

  19. Holocaust Museum on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    I just went through the US Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC the other weekend (my second time, much more appreciative then in high school).

    All one needs to do is round up these "non-believers" and show them the facts. Show them the Nazi records that listed the profit they made on each murdered person. The Nazi's had it down to a science taking gold fillings and even selling people's hair to clothing manufacturers. Show them the photographs of mutilated and dismembered corpses, most who were still alive when such things occurred. Show them the interviews with not only US soldiers who discovered death camps, but the survivors who can never close their eyes without reliving the horror.

    Let them go through such a place and still insist they do not "believe." Facts do not need to be believed, they are what they are - irrefutable proof.

    As a side note, if you are making a trip to DC stop at this museum. While you're at it, bring your kids through as well and explain to them this is what happens when you hate without understanding - when leaders go without question and public challenge. All the really gory things (videos/photos of mutilations) are hidden by concrete dividers about 4 feet high.

  20. Test Reports on FCC Approves iPhone · · Score: 1

    Go check out the test reports on the FCC website https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewEx hibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&c alledFromFrame=N&application_id=268052&fcc_id='BCG A1203'. It is worth noting that Apple filed a confidentiality request for the Test Setup/External/Internal photos and the user manual for 45 days after certification. If you are an RF/Elec. engineer the reports may be interesting to you.

  21. Re:Exsqueeze me? Baking Powder? on Why Web Pirates Can't Be Touched · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Surely two countries have gone to war for less than $1.65 trillion. On a side note, let's not forget that Russia has oil. [and don't call me Shirley]

  22. Re:Just curious on Bush Causes Cell Phone Ban · · Score: 1

    You seem to forget that the Executive Branch (i.e. President) is supposed to enforce the laws. Just because there is a law saying they are illegal doesn't mean they are going to enforce laws on themselves. Plus, most laws are written so they exempt government agencies/branches especially for matters of national security (I don't really like that term, but I haven't found a better one).

  23. Re:OH PLEASE on Landline Holders Increasingly Older, More Affluent · · Score: 1

    I'm sure where I work won't be going to an all wireless system anytime soon. Our building is relatively new and we use VOIP internally to the PBX. Also our building is in effect a Faraday cage so no cell single. This was a problem when they started giving Crackberries to the upper management, so they had Nextel/Sprint come in and put "leaky" coax through the ceiling. Now that would be great if I used Nextel/Sprint, but alas I don't like being raped, as much, by my cell carrier.

  24. Re:I always coast up to red lights. on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    Those are the same people who fly down the highways going 20 mph over the limit and then slam on their brakes when they see a cop using his RADAR and end up going 20 mpg under the limit. Idiots. When will people learn to leave 5 minutes earlier and drive slower. I can make my 35 mile (on way) commute with no discernible difference in time go 60 as I can going 70.

  25. Re:Piggyback US on Europe's Galileo Program In Serious Trouble · · Score: 1

    Try never http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS#Selective_availab ility. The FAA complained about the cost of keeping their own positioning stations online and Clinton effectively said that there will be no deviation. Does that mean when WW3 breaks out the US won't change it, probably not. But, its nice to think that the US is trying to offer a non-degraded signal. Plus, the military can "jam" local GPS receivers in a war zone.
