  1. Re:Why was this posted on slashdot? on Did Microsoft Borrow GPL Code For a Windows 7 Utility? · · Score: 2, Informative

    To get people to bash Microsoft of course. ;)

  2. Good luck with that? on Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Somehow, I doubt it would be easy to enable people who are BLIND to play video games. :/

  3. Re:Just finished Watching Sex & the City... on LHC Shut Down Again — By Baguette-Dropping Bird · · Score: 1

    ...isn't a baguette a hand bag thingy? Or did i understand it wrongly?

    No, its bread. Wikipedia article

  4. Re:They can't ban them. on Laptop Fires On Airplanes · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt that having there be no oxygen in the luggage part of the plane would be wise. An example of why would be the fact that pets are sometimes checked in as luggage, and no oxygen=pets die.

  5. Re:Happy birthday to 180th meridian too ! on 125 Years of Longitude 0 0' 00" At Greenwich · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People still use watches!? Everyone I know just whips out their cell phone when they need to find out what time it is these days.

  6. Re:Basic physics/electronics fail? on Sony Prototype Sends Electricity Through the Air · · Score: 1

    WhyElectrically powered things require power cords

    Or batteries.

  7. Re:"open-source competitor Hadoop" on Google File System Evolves, Hadoop To Follow · · Score: 1

    I thought GFS was a file system only meant to be used internally by Google. And if that's the case, then how is it competing with anything?

    Happy?

  8. Re:it's alive! on Google File System Evolves, Hadoop To Follow · · Score: 1

    Not yet, but when it does become sentient...get as far underground as you can before it nukes us all.

  9. "open-source competitor Hadoop" on Google File System Evolves, Hadoop To Follow · · Score: 1

  10. Re:I know! on Sam Ramji, Microsoft's Open Source Guru, Is Moving On · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even scarier would be Stallman, Ballmer, Gates, Jobs, and Torvalds all together in the same room planning to take over the world...

    We would all be screwed.

  11. That guy's photobucket account... on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 1

    Got Slashdotted. :D All the pictures on the page show "bandwidth exceeded" now. ;)

  12. Re:But that's against the law... on Marine Corps Wants a Throwable Robot · · Score: 1

    How did this get modded down as redundant? :/

  13. Re:Syntax error on Marine Corps Wants a Throwable Robot · · Score: 1

    1# A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
    2# A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3# A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
    There, now that version of Asimov's laws won't cause issues.

  14. Re:But that's against the law... on Marine Corps Wants a Throwable Robot · · Score: 1

    Who said the bot had to harm humans?

  15. Okay, lets make this clear now. on School Uniform To Block Cell Phone Emissions · · Score: 1

    This protects students from radiation that cell phones emit, they do NOT block calls, text messages, etc. telling by the text of the article.

  16. As insignificant as "less than 1 percent" sounds on Database Error Costs Social Security Victims $500M · · Score: 1

    That could be as many as 3 million people.

  17. Another bs article like this... on Reports of IE Hijacking NXDOMAINs, Routing To Bing · · Score: 1

    And I'm heading into my preferences to make it so kdawson's articles no longer appear for me. :/

  18. Now then... on Several Quantum Calculations Combined At NIST · · Score: 1

    Can their quantum computers run Vista?

  19. Hehe on Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Looks like someone forgot href="url" in that linking code. ;)

  20. Re:I have just filed (part 2) on Microsoft Patents XML Word Processing Documents · · Score: 1

    I think Microsoft only filed for a patent on the ribbon, but does not actually have it...yet.

  23. Re:"CAN-SPAM" on Network Neutrality Back In Congress For 3rd Time · · Score: 1

    Oops...think I replied to wrong comment for some reason...

  24. Re:"CAN-SPAM" on Network Neutrality Back In Congress For 3rd Time · · Score: 1

    Will the ISPs be able to simply say "We terminate your service if you use port 25, which we can not legally block."?

  25. Re:ever since moo on Fewer Than 10 ET Civilizations In Our Galaxy? · · Score: 1

    Heres your evidence of one civilization in this galaxy, the existence of humans on this planet. Now if you meant ET civilization, that would be a completely different story.
