  1. Uh... on Mozilla Exec Claims Apple is Hunting OSS Browsers · · Score: 1

    Weren't people 5 years ago complaining there was NO competition to IE? Hypocrites.

  2. Is Slashdot blocked in China? on Yahoo Confirms Beijing Blocking Flickr · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder if it is...since it posts articles like this?

  3. ** Yawn ** on After Ubuntu, Windows Looks Increasingly Bad · · Score: 1

    Yet another "Windows is still more popular than Linux so let's bash it" whiner article. How about actual NEWS?

  4. Yawn on 'Pirates' Outsells 'Matrix' in High-Def Showdown · · Score: 1

    People are already broke from buying the various Matrix reissues...just like the LOTR one. Besides, the Matrix is even more boring in HiDef.

  5. Well now on Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again · · Score: 1

    That will free up another date night for about 5 million people. NOT!

  6. But... on Next Windows To Get Multicore Redesign · · Score: 1

    what does this mean for me and my Cyrix 333 Mhz?

  7. The Holocaust? on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Whoa -- when did this happen?

  8. new meaning to web cache/cash on Looking Into Mozilla's Financial Success · · Score: 1

    Mozilla in bed with a company that condones censorship in China to make a few bucks. Nice!

    What ever happened to talks of the Firefox/RealAudio partnership? That's one app I do NOT want on my computers.

  9. Kudos to MS on Microsoft Bans Modified Xbox 360s From Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    I pay good money for games and the live service. I don't want to lose to cheaters. They are protecting both of our interests.

  10. Just wait... on Vista's 40 Million License Sales In Context · · Score: 1

    ...until they sell 40 million SUSE licenses!

    PS to the mod: the image/word to confirm /. comments violates the ADA as it doesn't accommodate the blind.

  11. LA mafia at work on Stanford To Charge Reconnect Fee For DMCA Notices · · Score: 1

    Just because of a letter and no civil or criminal conviction you can lose your connection and have to pay to have it turned back on? The LA mafia shakedown indeed.

  12. That's the idea on Bush Causes Cell Phone Ban · · Score: 1

    I used to work in the media and cover presidential events. The Secret Service makes it well known they are there and doing their job. They want to be seen and let you know you're being watched. Cells can be used to remotely trigger devices and also offer recon.

  13. And.... on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    This is on this particular web site WHY???

  14. Geesh on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    Blah, blah, blah. I'm sure we don't know all of the facts in the case. If this kid DID have issues (and who are we to know that?) then you'd be pissed officials didn't "see signs" and do something -- and then later blame Microsoft, of course.

  15. Re:I'd like to say... on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 5, Funny

    A Scientology article was censored? What did the person say -- that Scientology is a looney, brain-washing cult that sucks people of their money? And that the cult's highest-profile member/actor recently married a beard again in an attempt to resurrect his career? I'm not saying that stuff is fact...just asking if it was said. Big diff.

  16. Humpf on Spy Act of 2007 = "Vendors Can Spy Act" · · Score: 1

    Stoopid Democrats!

  17. Why buy in China? on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 1

    When you can pirate like everybody else there?

  18. Won't happen on Mozilla and Google — Exchange Killers At Last? · · Score: 1

    ...unless those apps are going to also integrate with MS Office.

  19. Adblock Plus on Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid · · Score: 1

    They will have to pry Adblock Plus from my cold, dead mouse!

  20. Ummm on RIAA Attacks Sites Participating in Its Own Campaign · · Score: 1

    How was the person who found the music to know it WAS NOT a public domain song??

  21. Weird on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista · · Score: 1

    My 2 Vista Ultimate installs work like a dream. You know they say about opinions...

  22. Great! on BitTorrent Inc. Introduces Ad-Supported Downloads · · Score: 1

    Now your warez experience is going to be subsidized by advertisers!

  23. Suuuure on Julianne Moore to play Dana Scully · · Score: 1

    Of course it's a joke. Like she's too busy with *other* film projects. DD's biggest theatrical hit was the original movie --- so he has to return to pay the bills.

  24. Re:come on... on Top 12 Operating Systems Vulnerability Survey · · Score: 1

    Actually, new CDs come with SP 2a

    (as if it makes THAT big of a difference...)

    (and why did my confirmation post word come up as "incest"? Isn't that a little too rough of a word to use?)

  25. quit yer whining on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    Try changing your car's engine and taking it back to the dealer for warranty service. What do you think they'd say? They support what they sold you. End of drama.
