  1. Re:AwfulBar on FireFox 3.1 Leaves IE in the Dust · · Score: 1

    Even with the add-on, it's still a deal breaker. I shouldn't have to install an add-on that still doesn't give me the same functionality as I had before. Luckily, I can still do sudo aptitude install firefox-2

  2. Kevin Hazard? on Explosion At ThePlanet Datacenter Drops 9,000 Servers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I blame Kevin Hazard.

  3. My configuration on How Long Does it Take You to Tweak a New Box? · · Score: 1

    With Gnome, I usually make a changes: setting my background, configuring the Workspace Switcher how I like it, adding a few icons to the application bar at the top, and a few hotkeys. I also like to map the F1 key to maximize the window, so that when I hit it by accident, I don't get inconvenienced by the pop-up. Who needs documentation anyway?

  4. Re:OLPC Memories? on Mandriva Linux pre-installed on Intel's Classmate · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Silicon chips. They're like potato chips, only slightly crunchier.

  5. they left out cartoon network on Top 10 April Fools Stories · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cartoon Network pulled a hilarious April Fool's joke a few years back.

  6. Don't forget the monitor on Building an Energy Efficient, Always-On PC? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Using an LCD monitor instead of a CRT will drastically cut your power usage. Turning off the monitor while not at your computer will help as well, instead of just letting the screensaver run. The monitor can consume more power than the PC itself.

  7. Re:Made it easier for ... on Wordpress 2.1.1 Release Compromised by Cracker · · Score: 1

    It's late at night. Nothing like a bottle of Mountain Dew and a flame war to keep the programmers awake. So, how about that PHP?

  8. Re:DRM adds customer value ??? on Macrovision Responds to Steve Jobs on DRM · · Score: 1

    From TFA: "Similarly, consumers who want to consume content on only a single device can pay less than those who want to use it across all of their entertainment areas - vacation homes, cars, different devices and remotely." Please explain to me why I should have to pay more for content if I want to view it on different devices. Again, from TFA: "Thank you, Fred Amoroso" Yeah, fuck you, Fred.

  9. Re:Its a great game. on Linden Labs Sends "Permit-and-Proceed" Letter · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or, according to Verizon math, Second Life is four hundred times better than half-life.

  10. How do they expect to enforce it? on Restrictions On Social Sites Proposed In Georgia · · Score: 1

    Myspace should take pre-emptive action on this. Using IP geolocation, they should present a page to anyone connecting from Georgia informing them that, due to pending legislation that they cannot conceivably comply with, Myspace will no longer be providing service to anyone in the state. Followed by the phone number for the asshat politician that thought this was a good idea.

  11. Re:GPL? on Java SE 6 Released · · Score: 1

    According to Wikipedia, "The release of the complete sources under GPL is expected in the first quarter of 2007."
