  1. transcription? on Slashdot's Rob Rozeboom Interviews D&D Designer Mike Mearls - Part 2 (video) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Transcribe the video or nobody cares.

  2. Nice things on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You see? This is why we can't have nice things, Barry!

  3. NOT NEWS on San Diego's Fireworks Show Over In 15 Seconds · · Score: 0

    This is seriously not news. This kind of accident happens all the time with fireworks shows. How this got on to the front page of Slashdot I'll never know.

  4. Re:Stupid thieves on Bank Robbing a Terrible Business, Statistically · · Score: 1

    whoosh!

  5. Re:Caching? on Report Says Schools Need 100Mbps Per 1,000 Users · · Score: 0

    It doesn't matter. You would still need that kind of speed on the internal network where the stuff is being cached.

  6. Waste? on The Poor Waste More Time On Digital Entertainment · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Waste and spend are two entirely different things.

  7. Re:What do you mean, "now" starting? on Programming — Now Starting In Elementary School · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Add one more person who did this in the late 80s / early 90s in elementary school.

  8. Re:This is not new on Adobe Introduces the Paid Security Fix · · Score: 1

    The difference is that Microsoft supports multiple old versions of their OS. This is only one version more than the previous Adobe, and its only been a couple of years max since the other.

  9. Re:Not Much You Can Do About That on 'Social Jetlag' May Be Making You Fat · · Score: 1

    Good luck with trying that. Let me know how it goes for you. It's never going to happen for me.

  10. Re:Why the Hate? on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 1

    You say that, but the resources have to come from somewhere, and that means they are being spent on SlashBI instead of Slashdot Classic.

  11. Re:No background-color defined on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 1

    No he has a point. Good web design takes as many possible outcomes into mind as feasible. Adding a background color takes about half of a second and is webDesign101 material.

  12. Re:As I posted yesterday on Microsoft's Hotmail Challenge Backfires · · Score: 1

    "Windows XP was the first stable OS to come out of that company" INCORRECT Windows 2000 was the first stable OS. XP was less stable than 2000.

  13. Re:User control on Firefox 12 Released — Introduces Silent, Chrome-like Updater · · Score: 1

    LOL what? Seriously? Unless you ARE a web developer, please don't make statements like that. Website developers thrive on having the latest and greatest, because its a PITA to test older versions of browsers which don't behave as they SHOULD. Website standards evolve quickly.

  14. Re:Happy Hybrid Buyers Don't Buy Cars Every Two Ye on Hybrid Car Owners Not Likely To Buy Another Hybrid · · Score: 2

    Seriously. This study was released way too early. People don't buy cars that often.

  15. Re:What's in there? on Microsoft Buys 800 AOL Patents For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    That's what I want to know. There's too many comments here wondering about the price of the patents and about the relevance of AOL, but previous few wondering what was actually purchased and what it means for everyone.

  16. Re:Too late! on On Slashdot Video, We Hear You Loud and Clear · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If they were truly listening they would have had this already.

  17. Re:There goes the last shred of readability in IE7 on Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to SlashdotTV! (Video) · · Score: 1

    Here's a better idea: start a campaign to get IE7 updated at work. That way website developers everywhere won't want to lynch mob you. (That said they should at least do due diligence and try to make it work in IE7 (which I assume they already have).

  18. Re:Nvidia Drivers on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Nvidia Drivers on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 1

    I'm running it on Vista currently

  20. Re:Nvidia Drivers on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 4, Informative

    (the exact name to google being "nview desktop manager")

  21. Nvidia Drivers on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What about the virtual desktop software built into the nvidia drivers? I looked around and nothing came close for me.

  22. Re:What is the difference between this and xbox? on New Samsung TV Watches You Watching It · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Again, is that somehow different than the XBOX?

  23. Barring? on Microsoft Barring Certain Staff From Buying Macs, iPads? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Barring and "should not be purchased with company funds" are two entirely different things.

  24. Re:Good idea! on Russia Has Sights Set On Manned Moon Landing By 2030 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm so tired of this attitude. It's people like you that keep me from having an apartment on the moon.

  25. Re:Dear BSA on Crying Foul At the BSA's "Nauseating" Anti-Piracy Tactics · · Score: 1

    I just took that to mean the man who hired him was even bigger than this big man who hates authority figures
