  1. article pulled, inaccurate? on Wii to Launch Nov. 19th for $250 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Let's play "spot the pattern."

    SNES launch price: 25000 Yen / 200 USD.
    N64 launch price: 25000 Yen / 200 USD.
    Gamecube launch price: 25000 yen / 200 USD.
    Wii launch price: 25000 yen / ??? USD.

    Hrm.

  2. Re:Everything applies to everything on Does Philosophy Have a Role in Computer Science? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Everything may be connected to everything, but I still wish you would use paragraphs.

  3. only available until May 24th? on Pearl Jam Releases Video Under Creative Commons · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. Why is it only available on Google until May 24th? What's preventing us from re-uploading it permanently to Google Video?

  4. why do people bother with nyud.net? on 2005 Independent Game of the Year Awards · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised this nyud.net fad has survived this long. Usually when the original site is dead, nyud.net is just as dead. Why do people bother with Coral?

  5. Re:MS vs. Google on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Yeah probably the fact that MS offers a higher paycheck than Google has something to do with it too.

  6. how to die on Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand · · Score: 5, Funny

    "The fish was caught and eaten in a remote village in Thailand along the Mekong River, home to more species of giant fish than any other river.

    Local environmentalists and government officials negotiated to release the record-breaking animal[...]

    But the fish, an adult male, later died. "


    Being eaten does that you.

  7. cartoons? on The Business of Anime · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why so much fuss about Japanese cartoons? It's not like we get any of their movies or television either, so I fail to see why a dearth of their cartoons in the US market is surprising.

  8. Rails? on Effective C# · · Score: 1

    That's funny because the Rails people go on and on about how it does MVC and all which is... you guessed it... a design pattern.

  9. broken images? on Yahoo! Orders Wikipedia Hardware · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Am I the only one seeing broken images all over Slashdot? It's been going on for days now.

  10. Re:This sounds like on Yahoo! Orders Wikipedia Hardware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All Google has done is hand-waving so far.

    On the other hand, Yahoo has been one of the earliest Wikipedia supporters according to TFA.

  11. more screenshots on KOffice 1.4 Released · · Score: 4, Informative
  12. Open KHTML Info Page Launched on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In related news: In an effort to open up their development process the developers of the Konqueror components KHTML, KJS and KSVG have launched the open Web portal KHTML.info. By providing a central contact point and source of information in form of an open Wiki the developers want to promote their work and embrace users and developers from both Open Source as well as commercial environments.

  13. Re:what about KDE? on Redhat Spins Off Fedora Project · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hey jackass, I'm SAYING Fedora is neglecting KDE compared to GNOME which is clearly true given that KDE is using an OLD and OUTDATED Redhat theme compared to the new theme GNOME is using, not to mention like others have said no OOo-KDE, no GTK-Qt, no KDE configuration tools for Fedora, and I'm ASKING whether this change will allow KDE lovers to take matters into their own hands.

    Get it, now?

  14. Re:what about KDE? on Redhat Spins Off Fedora Project · · Score: 1

    Which part of PlastiK defaults did you not understand? KDE in FC is using an OUTDATED Redhat theme compared to GNOME and they don't even have the decency to change KDE back to PlasTiK.

  15. what about KDE? on Redhat Spins Off Fedora Project · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Will this finally put KDE development on an equal footing with GNOME in Fedora? Will KDE improvements from KDE developers to the RPM packages in Fedora now be accepted?

    Right now KDE suffers a big disadvantage vs GNOME. It is held crippled by "desktop" rules but not in the same way as GNOME. The GNOME desktop is seeing development, but the KDE desktop in Fedora is stagnating because it is not seeing any new development and it is even not taking new stuff from the KDE upstream like PlastiK defaults.

    So, I say again, will this be an opportunity for true improvement of KDE in Fedora? And if not, why not?

  16. it's the sims isn't it? on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1
  17. hilarious GNOME3 video on GUADEC Streams and Archives Online · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I saw this yesterday on GNOMEDESKTOP in the Guadec thread. Some prankster must have put it up but it's hilarious.

    Wasn't it James Earl Jones who screamed the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? What did Hayden Christiantiansensen have to do with that.

  21. Re:Reason why there's no .NET in Longhorn on Nothing of .Net in Longhorn? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is a big company. People talk. If you don't want to believe it fine, but that little dirty secret is real, although the journalist didn't get half of the real story.

  22. parent is the real deal on Nothing of .Net in Longhorn? · · Score: 1

    What the parent poster says is true insider-information. I happen to have to talked to a few of those people.

    It's the real deal, folks. FWIW.

  23. what about KDE/Qt? on Nokia's Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    Since it supports Linux and X11, will it run and support KDE/Qt development?

  24. discoveries, eh? on New Rodent Species Found · · Score: 0, Redundant
    A new species of rodent has been discovered by World Conservation Society researcher Dr. Robert Timmins. He found this creature in a hunter's market in Central Laos.

    Which part of that is discovering, again? Next, the US will be discovering Canada, a quaint variant of US society that diverged decades ago.
