  1. Re:So is AVG still a good AV prog? on AVG Backs Down From Flooding the Internet · · Score: 0

    I agree with you. For a lot of us who do have an AV software, it's more of a token gesture than it is a safety measure. I've been using AVG on and off over the past (million) years and have often wondered why it's there when my surfing and usage habits aren't harmful. Our browsers are getting better, our OS is getting better and of course, 'they' will find a way to bypass it, but we're nerds. So we'll always know about it.

  2. Re:Tag "apostropheabuse" on eBay'er Arrested For Attempting To Sell His Vote · · Score: 0

    Mactards attempting to use punctuation. Cant you just overlook the bad apostrophe's?

  3. George Lucas-esque... on Lost Footage of "Metropolis" Found · · Score: 1

    And, coincidentally, it had been digitally remastered, with a new soundtrack.

  4. Re:But it has a tail! on First Results From Messenger's Mercury Flyby · · Score: 1

    It may have shrinkage, but Mercury has a 2.5 million km long tail. http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/03/03/2178111.htm Wait, atavism is a good thing, right?

  5. Re:Nooo! on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    All the dial-up users that do want broadband were unable to respond to the survey as their connection kept dropping.

  6. Dark blue with light yellow font on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    A dark/navy blue background with light yellow font colors is rather easy on the eyes. Consolas is a good true-type font; that helps as well.
    Try something similar to this:
    http://www.slimcode.com/cs/blogs/martin/archive/2006/11/26/My-Coding-Font-and-Colors.aspx
    It is a Visual Studio theme but you can always get the colors that you need out or get an idea of what you can experiment with.

  7. Story missing a tag on What Is the Best Way To Disinfect Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Where's the "slownewsday" tag on that post? And the "NotNewsForNerds" and "StuffThatDoesntMatter" tags?

  8. Re:Let me fix that for you on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 2, Funny

    After much analysis of this article and the /. post, the word "DUH" comes to mind.

  9. Re:planes! on Scandinavian Scientists Designing Robotic Snakes · · Score: 1

    Samuel L Jackson could still take them on. Though he may get tired after a while.

  10. Re:It doesn't have to be that way... on The World's 10 Dirtiest Cities · · Score: 1

    > There's a little river two stations up, and it's heavily populated with half-meter carp. I walked about half a kilometer along it the other day, and there were almost always fish visible, and sometimes scores of fish.

    You're in Japan. You don't need to be near a river to see fish.

  11. Re:Milk as subsitute? on Lack of Sunlight Could Lead To Early Death · · Score: 5, Funny

    Only if you're Gisele Bundchen and pour it all over yourself.
