  1. Re:Modern world has its priorities wrong on Tevatron To Shut Down At End of 2011 · · Score: 5, Funny

    At least we'll have hairstylists!

  2. Re:Who needs 64 bit? on Windows 7 Trumps Vista By Reaching 20% Share · · Score: 2

    32-bit, what a waste! Nobody needs 32 bit programs that are wasteful by definition! BACK TO 16-BIT GUYS!

    I know.

  4. Re:IPv7 on After IPv4, How Will the Internet Function? · · Score: 2

    Just because 'most news sites' report it, doesn't make it true. IPv5 didn't become mainstream because of what it was designed for, NOT because it had an odd number.

    Maybe you should Google what IPv5 was for. Here, I'll help. Read this.

  5. Re:IPv7 on After IPv4, How Will the Internet Function? · · Score: 1

    Except that's wrong. AIX 7.1 isn't an 'experimental' release. HP-UX 11.31 isn't an 'experimental' release. Even if you include Linux as unix (which it isn't), 2.6.35 wasn't experimental either. Just because the major release number of older Linux kernels were tagged as experimental for odd numbers (2.4.x was stable vs 2.5.x experimental), doesn't mean that it applies any more or that it applies to the 'unix world.'

  6. Re:LastPass on The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords · · Score: 1

    It's funny that you bring up Xmarks. LastPass recently purchased Xmarks, so it still lives. You might have to pay like $10 a year for it, but I still think thats a great deal. Hopefully, they give Xmarks for free to their premium users!

    This is why I use LastPass to manage my passwords. I have one, completely randomly-generated password per site.

  9. Re:Soo... on Free IPv4 Pool Now Down To Seven /8s · · Score: 1

    They DID include support. You need to have iOS 4.0 or newer for it. My iPod Touch works perfectly using RAs, but they may not work with DHCPv6. YMMV

    Any iOS device with 4.0 or later supports IPv6, including your iPhone.

    How does it save gas when you have to drive back home anyway?

  12. Re:So obvious question... on Oracle Needs a Clue As Brain Drain Accelerates · · Score: 2, Informative

    Visual Studio Express is free.

    Team Foundation Server is not a requirement for .Net programming. You can use any revision control system you want.

    Biz Talk Server isn't directly for .Net development, but rather communication.

    SQL Server Express is free.

    Next time, troll harder please.

    How does Microsoft nickel and dime you to death when .Net is also free? Smells awfully trollish...

  15. Re:Switching from legacy to native mode on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Windows XP won't easily. Windows 7 is a completely different story though. It's VERY easy to switch to/from AHCI mode in Windows 7.

    The reason why it isn't as easy for Windows XP is because when you switch the controller to native/AHCI mode, it appears as a completely different controller as before.

  16. Re:Activation and slipstreaming on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 1

    This information is just plain wrong. You do NOT need a floppy drive or slipped stream disk for SATA. You can put the SATA controller in to Legacy or IDE mode and XP will recognize it just fine. There are only a couple of circumstances where you need to slipstream or use a floppy. One is if you insist on using AHCI. AHCI is nice as it provides stuff like NCQ, but its not a necessity. Outside of AHCI, you only need to slipstream or use a floppy if you have a semi-recent RAID card that XP doesn't have drivers for, or if your card won't go in to legacy mode. If you are in this 'minority', then you should be able to easily find a CD burner and/or a USB floppy drive. FYI, even Windows 98 lets you install on a SATA drive.

  17. Re:This Failed in NYC on Govt To Bomb Guam With Frozen Mice To Kill Snakes · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know where you live, but where I'm from dead, frozen mice don't do any kind of (over)running. I think freezing them counts as "simple."

  18. Different...how? on OCZ IBIS Introduces High Speed Data Link SSDs · · Score: 1

    How is this any different than existing PCI Express SSD products? They both consume a PCI Express slot..and this one consumes a 3.5" drive slot. Am I the only one missing the point?

  19. Re:Overkill? on Bookmark Synchronizer Xmarks Hangs Up Their Hats · · Score: 1

    I created an Xmarks backup environment at work for people. It's a simple PHP scripts with some Apache httpd .htaccess goodness. Xmarks can use webdav over https (which is what I do). Each user only has access to their specific bookmarks and this has worked fine. Guess I'm going to have to come up with another solution now.

  21. Re:An experience on Video Appliance For a Large Library On a Network? · · Score: 1

    Install InsomniaX and it'll solve that whole "Closing the lid puts the MBP to sleep and wifi drops" issue. Off topic : There is also a copy of InsomniaX in the Cydia store if you run a jailbroken iOS device. Very very very nifty if you want your wifi to stay active after you shut off the screen!

    Slashdot has about as many anti-Apple trolls as it has pro-Linux and anti-Microsoft trolls.

    In short, you must be new here.

    I cheated and got banned. I cheated in 1.6 after I purchased and primarily played Source. I cheated in Source after I had a second account. It was actually pretty fun with a friend.

    I agree. They were both secondary accounts that I used when cheating with friends. I have a third account that I use for playing legitimately. If you cheat and get banned, then don't complain. I'm certainly not.
