  1. Re:3G iPhone not all it's cracked up to be? on Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G · · Score: 5, Funny

    Listen, new guy, a word of advice: don't be so quick to jump to a corporate giant's defense here on Slashdot. You'll thank me later. Just toss out a "lame" and be done with it.

  2. Re:RAM usage on Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws · · Score: 1

    That's the typical response to people posting (legitimate) issues they've experienced with Firefox. "Oh, it's just you" ...which is as anecdotal as the OP

    So let me get this straight: you are saying that since you haven't experienced memory problems with Firefox (I guess you and your computer are the gold standard or something), it is rightful to conclude that anyone who experiences memory problems with Firefox is "doing something wrong"

    Mmm-k. You must be a Firefox developer, because they have the same flippant attitude about this.

  3. ripped from future headlines on The Chinese (Web Servers) Are Coming · · Score: 1

    Millions of spam zombies added to the latest Storm botnet based on an exploit in QZHTTP, despite security patches having been available for months. Attempts to contact the owners of the exploited sites are met with silence.

    we're still bitter about that whole taxation without representation thing

  5. Re:What happens.... on Microsoft Ramps Up "Fix it" Support Tool · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That presupposes that the Fix It tool will work in the first place

    Ever tried to use the Repair option in MS Office? I've used it on dozens of installs, and it has never once repaired a GD thing

  6. It's not that surprising on Athletes' Brains Reveal Concussion Damage · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I remember an ESPN interview of a retired NFL linebacker. He'd had multiple concussions in his playing days. He was quite mentally damaged, at the ripe old age of 45.

    One day he went out for a drive, and when he got to his block, he couldn't recognize his own house. So he decided to just keep driving around the block, over and over. More than an hour elapsed before one of his family members spotted the car out the front window and went outside and flagged him down.

    It wasn't the first time seemingly simple things/memories just completely escaped him
