  1. Re:Quick Poll on Object Lights Night Sky Across Canadian Prairies · · Score: 1

    If you are referring to #2, note that the asteroid from Armageddon never reached the ground, although much debris did.

  2. Quick Poll on Object Lights Night Sky Across Canadian Prairies · · Score: 3, Funny

    Was it:

    1. An Autobot
    2. Precursor to an asteroid the size of Texas
    3. CowboyNeal
  3. Re:Text only, no html on Bush Administration's E-Mail Deluge May Overload Archive System · · Score: 1

    Deleting the bit that's already answered, not relevant or whatever can hardly be called 'editing', it has more to do with comprehension.

    Indeed. Think <quote> tags.

  4. Re:how on Internet Explorer 8 Delayed Until 2009 · · Score: 1

    Until I see either some kind of "Firefox Deployment/Software Update Server," a-la Symantec Anti-Virus/Endpoint Protection, or an MSI Generator + well honed ADM/ADMX files for Firefox, it's not showing up on our corporate network outside of the IT Dept.

    Good thing Firefox is open source.

    1. Make your own FF server
    2. Sell server package to enterprises
    3. ?????
    4. Profit!!!

    Good thing nobody here needs to look it up.

  8. Re:I'd care more on US Officials Flunk Test On Civic Knowledge · · Score: 1

    A slashdotter trying to get his post in before someone else so as to get a karma bonus rather than a redundant mod?

    Nope, that almost never happens.

  9. Re:I'm a huge pirate... on RICO Class Action Against RIAA In Missouri · · Score: 1

    Your warning is unnecessary. Axes are not firearms.

  10. Re:My proof on E=mc^2 Verified In Quantum Chromodynamic Calculation · · Score: 1

    Girls are positively evil?

  11. Re:So what was he *really* standing in front of? on AP Suspends DoD Over Altered US Army Photo · · Score: 1

    Either way the AP did a crappy job of making their point here.

    True, but I don't blame them for not wanting to be the medium for social engineering

  12. Re:What a surprise... backhanded support on Silverlight On the Way To Linux · · Score: 1

    Many business computers will never be used for surfing and watching silverlight movies, so the 90% market share starts to look much less healthy.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHaHaHaHaHaHahahahahahaha

    ..if we might pick up even hints of facts?

    Trust me; your fear is unsubstantiated.

  16. Re:Criminal intent? on Studios Sue Oz ISP Over Allowing Piracy · · Score: 1

    Isn't porn copyrighted, too?
    I just can't see the lawyers being very successful rallying to protect the IP rights of the actors/actresses involved to the same degree they have with contemporary media.

    He should have stayed next to the glow of his monitor.

  18. Re:Anthropomorphism on Google Terminates Lively · · Score: 1

    Not only is he sentient, he's smarter than the average slashdotter

    Pfft. That's like comparing a brain to a braincell.
    You should be comparing the intelligence of Google to Slashdot's Groupthink.

  19. Re:You don't understand basic economics on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 1

    In competitive markets, when there is an increase in costs, those costs get borne by the consumer in the long run.

    Including costs that apply to one competitor but not the others (fines, etc.)?

  20. Re:Stop the Debian Bullshit on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 1

    Debian is right to not play the Mozilla games. Other distros should do the same.

    Just a quick note: for Ubuntu users, there is the brilliantly named "Web Browser" (abrowser in the repos).

  21. Re:Google search bar? on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 1

    (ie: AOL and others each pay a portion of the Windows development and deployment costs, and they receive packages included in Windows....

    I thought AOL and friends paid the OEMs for that. I don't see AOL in off-the-shelf XP discs.

    Wouldn't it be near impossible to get a signal through the clouds?

  25. Re:Toxicity? on Researchers Getting the Lead Out of Electronics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bismuth is a widely accepted nontoxic substitute for lead...

    So? Clorine and Sodium are two very toxic supstances, but NaCl isn't. See also: Thinkgeek
    Properties of compounds often bear very little relation to their constituent parts.
