  1. Version 20? on Firefox 20 Arrives With Per-Window Private Browsing, New Download Manager · · Score: -1, Redundant

    When did that happen? I thought we were still in single digit version numbers or was that last week?

  2. Re:How about some nice menus instead? on Preview the Office 2007 Ribbon-Like UI Floated For OpenOffice.Org · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What mistake? The ribbon is fine, it takes 5 mins to pick up unless you have a learning disability or a brain dead MS hater.

  3. Re:Hm. on EU Wants Multiple Browser Bundling On New PCs · · Score: 1

    There will be a screen showing trusted MS software. Then you would have to tick a little box to see non-trusted other software and a big disclaimer screen about malware, virii and the like.

    Thats how I imagine it.

  4. Re:And so it begins... on IE 8.1 Supports Firefox Plugins, Rendering Engine · · Score: 1

    Yup.. slashdot wont be worth visiting for the next day or so.

    Quality not quantity people...

  5. Re:quick, someone start complaining! on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 0, Troll

    Pfft.

    If the iPhone was release by another company such as SE or Nokia it would be called disappointing but because its apple its innovating.

  6. Re:Your car is too fat. Uncle Sam needs to trim it on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    US petrol prices are not all that high compared to other western countries. Its just that US made cars are not effecient.

  7. Re:Dynamic IP script on What Are the Best Laptop Theft Recovery Measures? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A lot of monitors have a webcam built in, use this to take a snap shot periodically and send it to an email account.

  8. Re:Slightly OT: Microsoft Office 2007 on Microsoft Quietly Offering Ad-Funded Version of Works · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The learning curve from previous versions of MS office to MS office 07 isn't that steep, if after a little while you are still having trouble its probably a sign of mild retardation. Sorry.

  9. Re:They took guns away, so who's left to stop them on AU Government Demands Universal Wiretapping · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So how is a gun going to protect you when the goverment can bomb you from miles away or 30,000 feet?

  10. PCBS on How to Say Goodbye to Old Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    If the PCBs are still good take them out and sell them to people with the same model drive who need a new PCB for old drive to get important data off.

  11. Re:The cold, hard truth on Google Apps Slow to Replace Competition · · Score: 1

    I use googleapps for some docs and spreadsheets when im at different locations on different computers.

    Its not the features that bother me its that googleapps is a clunky, slow peice of crap which a spreadsheet program or a wordpresser should not be on a p4-3ghz with a gig a ram.

    I have a spread sheet 5 columns wide and 2500 rows deep and it takes over a minute to load and even sort the fields and then it takes forever to contact the server to do its periodical updates.

    But I guess you have to expect that from a company that only releases beta software.

  12. Re:People still use hotmail? on Admins Accuse Microsoft of Hotmail Cap · · Score: 1

    Considering hotmail almost has twice as much storgae (5 gigs) as gmail and doesn't feel as clunky. Yes.

  13. Which one? on Social Networks At A Crossroads · · Score: 1

    Facebook is cleaner and nicer to use but their are so many applications all doing the same thing, fun wall, super fun wall, super dooper fun shout wall with candy - and it gets messy.

    Myspace is messy by design but the prepubesant little shits like the colours and crap and seems to be the most popular.

    Bebo, hi-5 and the rest are smaller and less useful.

    Its like IM again, some use AIM, some yahoo and others msn - all offering a different experience and you end up going where your friends are... like it all not.

  14. Re:For Australians.... on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    consumer advocacy group? Buwhahahaha, they do it for the fun of it and to massage their own egos. The site and forums are run by Nazi's.

  15. Re:What comes in mind when making this ad? on Aqua Teen Stunt Costs Turner and Agency $2M · · Score: 1

    Wait until some of Boston's officals go to Las Vegas!

    Aww, how could you not trust norton? It slows the fast changing internet world down to much better pace! ;)

  18. Re:Let them squabble on U.S. Refuses to Hand Over Fighter Source Code to UK · · Score: 1

    The USA has all the technology but other countries know how to do more with less. When the US plays war games with other countries the US sometimes has to rig them to win,

  19. Re:Honestly, this was a long time coming on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 1

    It was fathers day in Australia on Sunday, hopefully he had the opportunity to be with his family then.

    pictures?

    Videos is what you want, just play it and you have both hands free. With pictures you need one hand on the mouse to click through the pictures.

    Not that I know.

  24. Re:Deliberately setting the bar low? on Latest Vista Build Making Real Progress · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Some goofs may be obvious to us because they were seen with fresh eyes. When you work with something long enough you tend to forget that bad things are there.

  25. Re:For those who are confused... on Australia Wants to Regulate Internet Streaming · · Score: 3, Informative

    The media blew the whole issue out of proportion.

    All those cameras and there is still not much evidence tells me it was just a bunch of young adults just having fun, until BB decided to be a party pooper. Lets have a realaity check here, if the girl was in any serious danger BB would have had security in their in an instant.
