  1. Vista loading times *Configuring updates* on Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows · · Score: 1

    After sitting through "Please Wait. Configuring Updates" every time that I would shut down and boot Vista, this would in fact be a welcomed change. Well, I switched to Linux anyway... But okay.

  2. Re:Rates on University Tries "One iPhone Per Student" · · Score: 1

    My University is pretty OS-agnostic.

    Well, except that I have to program everything in Visual Studio 2005.

    But otherwise it's pretty cool, we have Windows and Macs avalaible and if you want to access your student drive remotely, it's on a Mac via SSH, and the Engineering school has UNIX accounts on various machines for our SSHing needs- Debian, Solaris, OSX, and HP-UX. :D

  3. Rates on University Tries "One iPhone Per Student" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now do the students have to pay the extra surcharge that offsets the cost of the phones, or does the University pick up that tab as well?

  4. Alice! on How Should I Teach a Basic Programming Course? · · Score: 1

    Very basic, annoying, somewhat buggy... But a decent start. Teaches some good basics.

  5. Microsurvey on How US Schools' Culture Stifles Math Achievement · · Score: 3, Informative

    For what it's worth, my mathematics professor saw this. And she polled our class this morning in lecture, seeing who was an immigrant or of immigrant parents. And most of us were. :\

  6. Avant on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not uninstalling AWN or giving Apple any money to use it.

  7. Re:Age of Consent on Linux Turns 17 Today · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now here in Kentucky...

  8. No youtube on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 1

    YouTube came around some 4 years after this archive. How sad: http://www.google.com/search2001/search?q=youtube&hl=en&btnG=Search And eerie!

  9. Re:Interesting but how useful, really? on Reducing Boot Time On a General Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    When I carry my laptop around, I really don't like to leave it on all the time.

  10. In other news... on CSRF Flaws Found On Major Websites, Including a Bank · · Score: 1

    Recent stock market crash and bank sales are actually a ploy by some clever Russian hackers...

  11. Re:Kentucky on State of Kentucky Seizes Control of 141 Domain Names · · Score: 1

    Here in Lexington we've had them for at least 8 years... http://aggregate.org/KLAT2/press.html

  12. Re:For shame on Is Open Source Different In Europe Than In the US? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    We're not...

  13. Re:Why the tone in the summary? on LHC Shut Down By Transformer Malfunction · · Score: 1

    Golly that amazing!

  14. Re:Results will be valid for four days... on The Best Gaming Laptop Money Can Buy · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sad. But true.

  15. Re:Damn... on Research Finds Carbon Dating Flawed · · Score: 1

    A google search for that set of words brings up 777,000 results, with some verbatim matches. Maybe you should spend more time on the internet?

  16. Re:Damn... on Research Finds Carbon Dating Flawed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The same ones that say "God put the fossils on Earth to test your faith" ?

  17. Re:Sony on Sony Recalls 73,000 Vaio Laptops Due To Burn Worry · · Score: 2

    There should be a mod for "Sad but true".

  18. Re:this article blows on Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning? · · Score: 1

    Greatest comment ever. Brownie points for you.

  19. Re:Celcius? on Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    But languages evolve, else we wouldn't have half of the words we use now anyway. New words can be added to modern vocabulary. We don't speak Latin.

  20. Cars on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can imagine that...

    "I'm buying this new slashdot car..."
    "Oh good! Would you like us to crush it for you?"
    "Most certainly, if you wouldn't mind!"


    :| Troll.

  21. Re:Powering an EeePC on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1

    In fact, sometimes I have to coax it into booting without AC...

  22. NCLB on Dallas Schools Extend Homework Due Dates Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    Well, having just graduated from public school and experiencing the detrimental side of No Child Left Behind in all of my AP and Academy classes...

    I must say that this wasn't a long shot off of the NCLB in terms of effectiveness. At least now the teachers can stop worrying about losing funding for not performing!

  23. Re:Flash on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1

    Well, I use flash with ndiswrapper on my 64-bit system...

  24. Re:GeV = mass? on First Definitive Higgs Result In 7 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm not a particle physicist either. I just graduated from high school. I learned that in basic physics.

  25. Re:GeV = mass? on First Definitive Higgs Result In 7 Years · · Score: 1

    Uhh... wasn't that common sense? I agree. Geek card revoked.
