    So if you really want D1 while UI is being fixed go back to modal: http://i.imgur.com/2rZ8q.png or slashdot.org/prefs and select D1 system. Do not click "Save" on the bottom. Then just go to any discussion and it'll be D1.

    Why can't I select the classic discussion system (D1) any more? Please don't say this has been discontinued :(

    Yes you can, check screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/2rZ8q.png

  6. Re:Oh god on Google's Nexus One, a Steal At $49 Unlocked? · · Score: 1

    And in EU you pay full price of the device. If you buy it without contract that is. What is this novice concept in USA that everyone's so freaked out about? You buy a phone, you pay its retail price. It's normal.

    I do realise it'll take years for people (of USA) to realise that their phones cost much more than they paid [when they renewed the contract].

    There are two plans at T-Mobile. One is when you get cheap phone, you pay $99 all unlimited. Or (!) you get identical T-Mobile plan for only $79 ($20 less per month). But you do pay for the phone yourself; you do not get subsidized. If you do the math, on most of the phones you _will_ save money if you pay full price for the phone.

  9. Re:What's the point? on TomTom Releases iPhone Navigation App · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Probably this one with [attempted] more usability than built-in one. The problem with either is that it's aGPS and accuracy is still making these not as usable as conventional GPS navs.

    Absolutely, not arguing that :) my friend, almost like you, is still running Win 95 from home; on top of that he's hosting tiny personal web server on that machine. He spends his spare time (for fun) patching and making sure that machine is secure.

    Of course not, what about Windows 95/Me/2000 users? One of those systems cannot run IE7 if I recall correctly.

  15. Re:Most don't understand the license plate motto on Maddog's New Hampshire "Unix" Plate Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Nicely put, like I said above, sometimes it's "live free _and_ die". We're finally going to catch up to the rest of the states and be penalized if we don't wear seatbelts. Up to date we have been able to not ever use seatbelts. I guess insurance is next. We still don't have to have vehicles ensured. Not saying it's a good thing. Just stating a fact.

    hm, interesting, I did not know about that. However, it doesn't stop me you or anyone from creating own carputer in the car. I used to have carputer in my previous car: http://f1vlad.com/wrxtear/carputer/index.html and some pics here: http://f1vlad.com/wrxtear/foto/index.html

    How about you setup this laptop in a trunk of your car and run some wires to the dash. Instead of radio deck, you could put touch screen and have a thing called "carputer". You can find more info here: mp3car.com.

    I know a person who is using Windows 95, and spends all his space time patching it :) So Windows 2000 is not surprising. They still have AOL dial-up to go with it.

  25. Themers on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget themers. Quite new term, my spell check says such word doesn't exist. But with a huge growth of drupal, joomla, typo3 developers, in those communities "themer" is a known term.

    And some of those guys don't like to be called anything else but that. And I know some think themer is a copy'n'paster, trust me, at least in a drupal world, themer is more than just design. It's quite a bit of scripting involved.
