  1. Re:iPhone? on New 20" iMac Screens Show 98% Fewer Colors · · Score: 1

    do you even need a 24 bit display on a handheld? I'm sure you wouldnt run Photoshop on it.

  2. Re:Easy! on Cubicle Security For Laptops, Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Stallman must have mistaken the apple office for his AI lab (he practically lives there)..... but the years don't match...

  3. Microsoft on The Reality Distortion Field Is Real · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Staring at Microsoft logo will create an irresistible urge to throw a chair at it.
    Screaming "DEVELOPERS!" is known to occasionally happen too!

  4. Re:Link to the actual test on Acid3 Test Released · · Score: 1

    They didnt link to the actual test, and it was slashdotted already. Putting it on top will just create additional burden for those poor guys!

  5. Re:I've always wondered on Acid3 Test Released · · Score: 1

    cant they release the source on that? it should massively help in fixing the other browsers....

  6. Relevant post on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 1

    from xkcd blag: http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/02/15/the-laser-elevator/#comment-12937 Now if we can create that kind of cannon... probably asking those CERN dudes for a little help...

  7. Re:Not Faster on Strict Order Boarding Would Get Planes in the Sky Faster · · Score: 1

    You obviously havent heard of Dr. Feynman then.

  8. I'll save myself the trouble on How to Convince Non-IT Friends that Privacy Matters? · · Score: 1

    and just give people link to this slashdot article.

  9. Re:Okay, but... on Air Force Seeking Geeks For 'Cyber Command' · · Score: 1

    Dude, they're hiring the Bastard Operator From Hell all the way from the UK?

  10. Re:OOo on Is Microsoft Office Adware? · · Score: 1

    IBM CEOs are generally sales staff, and last I heard they're doing quite well in some aspects.

  11. Re:Abortion as well on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Only if you got yourself an irresponsible husband, that is. Lots of marriages work fine, where both parents contribute in raising their children.

  12. Adam Smith sez it's the price. on The True Cost of SMS Messages · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In Indonesia, people use text messages since they're much cheaper than calling. A single message could cost you Rp250~350 ($0.03) compared to a phone call which could cost Rp1000/min. (US$1 ~= Rp9000)
    it depends on the price too, not just habit.

  13. Re:please kill the tagging beta on Microsoft Confirms IE8 Has 3 Render Modes · · Score: 1

    Hey, tags are awesome! On gloomy and depressing days, all I need is get all headlines tagged 'haha' and my day comes bright again!

  14. Re:Second biggest? on Pirate Bay Gets a 4,000-Page Complaint · · Score: 1

    IIRC during Indonesia's 1999 election, there's 48 political parties you can choose from.
    This is because before that, during the reign of Suharto, there's only 3 political parties allowed to exist.

  15. Re:2038!?!! on Y2K38 Watch Starts Saturday · · Score: 1

    Dude, you got a pacemaker that runs UNIX? I want one too!

  16. Durability & EEE on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder how durable that thing is.... put that in a bag and drop it, see how it compares to the macbooks and thinkpads.
    Also why nobody mentioned the EEE pc yet? though the similarity seems to end at portability....

  17. Another Idea on US Courts Consider Legality of Laptop Inspection · · Score: 1

    Create a partition on your HD, but don't mount it. I don't think people will found an unmounted partition that easy. Better yet (if you're feeling brave and using preinstalled windows), resize your restore partition and put your truecrypt container inside. (for plausible deniability) What does everyone think?

  18. Re:Wallhacker eh? on Alienware's Curved Monitor · · Score: 1

    You do get to see more battlefield in Red Alert 2 on higher resolution. Also a longer sidebar, which means less scrolling to get more units. Maxing out at 1024x768 isnt a really big deal though at this time.....

  19. Re:Sweet on BitMicro Takes Wraps Off 832 GB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    Probably because if you're using it for read only purposes, it could outlive mechanical-based HDDs? IIRC SSDs have limited write cycles, not reads.

  20. Re:Wait.... on Microsoft Apologizes To Rival · · Score: 3, Funny

    Conclusion: In Soviet Russia, Microsoft apologizes to YOU!

  21. Re:Airships! Neato on The Age of the Airship Returns? · · Score: 1

    You'd want the winch on the airships though, not on the ground. That way, it can land almost anywhere rather than just in a few places with winches. Ground crew only need to put down some hooks and all is set. In a remote location, you might even be able to drop the ground crew from the airship itself.

  22. Re:Good marketing ploy? on Wired's 2007 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are we talking about Vista here?

  23. Re:...not during takeoff and landing, but... on Airlines to Offer In-Flight Internet Service · · Score: 1

    the delay there is not really that long. though I don't live in the USA, so it might be different there.

  24. In America, on US Internet Control To Be Topic #1 In Rio · · Score: 1

    Botnet spams YOU!!

  25. Re:just taking care to take care. on Anti-Terrorism and the Death of the Chemistry Set · · Score: 1

    Please, would you kindly share some of this unbiased news source you said? I'm kinda new to these kinds of stuff.
