    I've seen compiz on the eee, and it worked pretty well. Although text wasn't visible and the window decorators were off

  2. Re:I don't have a cellar on Underground Freight Networks · · Score: 1

    There are virtually none in central California. I've never heard of one here, at least.

    Don't worry. A basement will substitute perfectly.

    Most servers spend their time spinning their wheels anyway And then along comes a /. article...

    only OS with more packages is Debian Whatever happened to Windows? Or does programs != packages?
  6. Re:Great Surveillance Possibilities on A Modular Snake Robot · · Score: 1

    Better for survoliance purposes, maybe. But try replacing a real snake's mouth with some sort of tool or sending it into hazardous environments. Also, I haven't ever seen a snake climb a pole. So even if the authorities don't use this robot, we should still pursue it's development.

    Isn't is supposed to be something "almost, but not entirely, unlike tea" or something along those lines?

    First of all, I am not certain. I just wouldn't bet on it.
    What incentive do they have to make it work in XP?

  10. Re:Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    Read the reply to that post. Nowhere in that blog did it specify IE8, and it was "Published Tuesday, August 10, 2004 9:28 AM by ieblog". It was obviously talking about IE7.

    Zealots don't wear hats.

  12. Re:Will it work on... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    It's a safe bet. I also feel that there is no chance that IE8 will be on 2000. Probably won't even be on XP. Need to push users to buy Vista somehow.

  13. Re:It's a trap! on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    This is the 'Embrace' stage. 'Extend' comes in IE9.

    Don't thank them until it is fully extractable from the OS.

  15. Re:Huge assumption in the title on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is all about following standards...as long as they make the standards. Tell that to OOXML.
  16. Re:Huge assumption in the title on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    Just because it is called standards-compliant mode, that does not mean it actually is standards compliant.
    Car analogy: It could be something like sawing the roof off of your car and calling it a convertible.

    Let's send a small herd of Slashdotters and South Korean gamers to live on Mars for the StarCraft finals. And let them stay. I'll be happy as long as I can get my /. and ISOs.

    More like eBay advising Windows users to stop using IE. Paypal doesn't develop Safari.

  21. Re:Microsoft follows Radiohead on Reznor Follows Radiohead, Offers Free Album · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well if that happened, there would be no reason not to switch to Linux. People say they use Windows because it costs money and therefore has value, while Linux is given away and therefore is worthless.
