  1. Re:At Least... on French Military Contributes To Thunderbird 3 · · Score: 1

    ...which is why you're talking to him. In English.

  2. Re:Solution? on Biometric Face Recognition At Your Local Mall · · Score: 1

    Shop somewhere else?

  3. Re:Leave Pandora Alone! on MySpace Buys and Then Takes Down Imeem · · Score: 1

    It's ok, you can download it - it doesn't come in a box.

  4. Re:who streams music? on MySpace Buys and Then Takes Down Imeem · · Score: 1

    In this day and age, who the hell would even need/want to stream music?

    Lots of people.

    I'm not about to let some external party control what I listen to or when I listen to it.

    Then use spotify or pandora and stream what you want, when you want.

  5. Re:Oh really? on Linux Reaches 32% Netbook Market Share · · Score: 1

    The only barrier stopping me using Linux for making music is that it's hard to write when there's no sound coming out of the speakers. Other than that it's great!

    I like Linux and yes, you can use it for audio but it really is nowhere near as easy as it is with Windows or Mac OS.

  6. Re:Wait a second.... on Not All iPods — Vinyl and Turntables Gain Sales · · Score: 1

    Tomorrow on Slashdot: A sudden increase in the sale of left shoes curiously correlates to a parallel increase in the sale of right shoes.

    Don't forget though: correlation does not equal causation. Although in this case I think you might be on to something.

  7. Re:No, I don't think it is on Cameroon the New Hotbed of Malware · · Score: 1

    So missing the m key, or not pressing it hard enough is logical but missing out the o is just crazy talk?

    I guess that makes sense...if you have a particularly weak index finger.

  8. Re:BT / Virgin Media / etc on 30,000 UK ISP Users Face Threat Letters For Suspected Illegal File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Interesting. I'd mod you up but I've already commented and don't have any points left.

    I can never remember which way round it is anyway! I just thought it was a strange thing to pick for Rogerborg to pick up on.

  9. Re:BT / Virgin Media / etc on 30,000 UK ISP Users Face Threat Letters For Suspected Illegal File Sharing · · Score: 1

    "Organize" is the correct spelling in American English. Your argument would be more credible if you kept yourself grounded in reality rather than pointing out how the English language should work. :P

  10. Re:Six months from now on Virgin Media To Trial Filesharing Monitoring In UK · · Score: 1

    I would wager that's got more to do with their service being crap and getting worse. I recently moved house between two houses with Virgin media broadband. One was 10Mbps the other was 2Mbps. Guess which was quicker.

  11. Re:transparency as advertised on Obama Wants Computer Privacy Ruling Overturned · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Does "transparency" mean you can see through it or that you can't see it at all?

  12. Re:Huh? 15kg? on Tokyo Students Design a New Robotic Muscle Suit · · Score: 1

    What is this "article" of which you speak?

  13. Re:Clarity? on KDE Rebrands, Introduces KDE Plasma Desktop · · Score: 1

    Since when have MS Windows users been able to send their application's sound across the network without special software?

    Why would I want to? I'd rather it came out of the speakers, reliably.

  14. Re:Periods and commas. on Moving Decimal Bug Loses Money · · Score: 1

    Fifteen. Thousand. Dollars, eleven cents

  15. Re:For the most part. on Moving Decimal Bug Loses Money · · Score: 1

    Greaaaat.

  16. Re:What you MUST do in Britain on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Not a bad suggestion, but Strongbow? Blackthorne?! Blaagh!

  17. Re:LogMeIn on Simple, Free Web Remote PC Control? · · Score: 1

    Wow. Auto-complete is getting intelligent these days.

  18. Re:Attitude on Fedora 12 Package Installation Policy Tightened · · Score: 1

    Nonetheless, it's not a *horrible* concept, it was just a little too loose (as I've seen it described).

    Hur hur hur....

  19. Re:Thoughtful pause ... on Laser Weapon Shoots Down Airplanes In Test · · Score: 1

    It could be argues that "evil" is the absence of bacon.

  20. Re:MW2 and Steam on Modern Warfare 2 Not Recalled In Russia After All · · Score: 1

    Oh. Weak.

  21. Re:MW2 and Steam on Modern Warfare 2 Not Recalled In Russia After All · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I think I'm missing something. If you didn't buy it from Steam how come it's being removed from your Steam account?

  22. Re:You're right. on Microsoft Aims To Close Performance Gap With Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 1

    To be fair I probably wouldn't either. But when you write a javascript function that needs about two lines of code then realise that you need to add another 15 lines or so to make it support Internet Explorer you start to feel like shouting.

  23. Re:I have no issue with this on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    Really? In GIMP, I use the crop tool, select an area, then crop it. Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

    Just put this code in after the body tag. That should drive the point home.

  25. Re:It doesn't matter on Can We Really Tell Lossless From MP3? · · Score: 1

    Admit it... even when mistyped, you still understand the actual content of what is being said. That's what is important.

    At 48Kbps I can still "understand" the music being played, that doesn't mean it's good or desirable.
