  3. GST? WTF? on eBay sellers Told to Include GST · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ok let's keep using acronyms and let people guess what they mean.. Both the article and the summary do not expand what GST is, had to read through the comments.

  4. the weather of the past... on Space Weather Warning · · Score: 3, Funny

    is always alot more accurate once it has occured already. thanks slashdot for making sure we get the weather a few days after it has occured

  5. new aim so bloated on AOL Launches Free Webmail Service · · Score: 1

    AIM really hasnt improved for a few versions now. All they keep doing is adding more junk like weatherbug, a popupblocker, aim today crap, spyware scanner. It's a freaking IM program, leave it at that.

    I don't like using gaim in windows because it still doesn't work all the time with file transfers and image transfers. Once gaim improves a little more I may just switch over to gaim in windows.

  6. how bout rapists and murders also on Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seriously it's like sex offenders are any worse then them? I would like to know where a murderer is and a rapist is at all times too so i can avoid that area.

  7. firefox toolbar? on Netcraft: 5,600 Phishing Sites Since December · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is there any toolbar available for firefox? This would be a great thing to install on my relatives computers or anyone's computer for that matter.

  8. image recognition? on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Are they going to be using image recognition or just a boring metadata search of the video? If it's metadata , what would be stopping me from saying this video of a woman blowing a horse is just an educational video on animals or an episode of the simpsons? I wonder what kind of powerful algorithms are brewing behind their doors to tell the difference between a penis and a hot dog

  9. third times a charm? on GUIs Sorted By Icons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "People still use non-random passwords."

    What's easier to remember, Your dogs name or z*4jhDm28&:1~. Now I will wait for someone to reply with "but my dogs name is z*4jhDm28&:1~"

    And you know what happens when people use a random password? They write it down and either put it in their top desk draw or on a nice post-it note on their monitor.

  12. even copyrighted material? on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 4, Funny

    AWESOME! Screw bittorrent now I can just download everything I need from this site. Porn, music, pirated software. Thanks archive.org!

  13. search engine spam on A Search Engine Manipulator's Tale · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think what google is really needing is a way to filter out all these spam links in their search results. I hate searching for something and then i have to skip the first 3 pages because I will click on a link and it will be some spam portal page or some other site that has copied wikipedia and thrown in a bazillion ads.

  14. obviously not blocking IE on CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    obivously im not going to do that. It was just said out of frustration. Of course it would be stupid to block out the majority web browser from accessing your site.

  15. Why I hate developing webpages... on CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Even when you design a standards compliant webpage you still need to use hacks to get things to work and validate correctly. And because of IE who refuses to fully support CSS it just makes life more miserable for web developers wasting time on figuring out how to hack together their code to display correctly on all web browsers. I hope companies start designing webpages for Firefox only and it will display a message when you try to access the site in IE saying please use firefox to access this website.

  16. More mature? on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 4, Funny

    "This story hints at the next Star Wars being a bit more of a mature themed movie"

    Does this mean we will be seeing the cut scene from Natalie Portman's movie "Closer" where she does a full nudity scene. I am sure they can work it into the movie somehow.

    JarJar and Anakin decide to go out to a club one night and are shocked to find the princess slumming it up for some extra cash.

    Can we send them a cease and desist letter to stop sending cease and desist letters? or something...

    Everyone should write them a letter to quit having their toolbar hijack your computer!

  19. mysql bad at disaster recovery? on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is not a troll or a flame at all but between this and the livejournal servers, it sure sounds like hell if your mysql servers ever go down unexpected.

    Is mysql the only dbase like this or does postgres get corrupted as well during unplanned downtime? If I recall from using MSSQL servers , we never had a problem like this. We would simply reboot the servers and not worry about tables being left in unrecoverable states. Please correct me if I am wrong though.

    Is there any way around this or will this always be a problem with mysql?

    hardly? This was nothing more then a regular interview with questions that were almost as bad a highschool newsreporters. Interviewers need to learn to get down and dirty and ask more detailed interesting questions.

  25. horrible webpage on PC Magazine's In-Depth VoIP Review · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Anyone else notice that only about 5% of the webpage is the actual article while the rest of it is cluttered in ads and other crap.

    Also I love the fact that I read about 5 words and have to hit a next button for the next page. Imagine if magazines were like that? Read 3 paragraphs, turn page, read another 3, turn page...
