  1. If Dark Energy is not needed on Fermilab Reports Dark Energy Not Needed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Then there's no need for Branigan's Law.

    That noise you hear is the entire state of Kansas lighting their torches and grabbing their pitchforks.

    Oh, you're talking about a Windows control, not an IE control. My bad.

    No one wants to do anything except keep time using their watch. I mean no one sensible.

    Well, I want a frickin' laser in my watch. If that makes me NOT sensible, then I don't want to be sensible.

  6. Re:What's the deal? on EU Sleuths Think Microsoft Sabotaged Windows · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. F11 puts it INTO fullscreen mode, but there is still no red box, just the throbber. It did move the throbber up, so that it now looks like the Windows minimize/restore/close widgets are black, and appear to be part of the throbber.

  7. Re:Um, what? on Knoppix Used in Internet Banking Solution · · Score: 1
    But why would you be carrying the CD with you anyways...

    So you can boot the ATM from it and access your accounts securely, of course.

    If you look at the top right of the IE browser, supposing you're currently using IE, theres a little red box with an X.

    Hmmm. All I have in the upper right is the throbber. Care to point out how to turn on this "red box"?

    Dunno about deadly, but a rifle stings like a BITCH when you drop it on your foot.

    I want my OS to tell me about information related to whatever I'm doing now

    It looks like you're browsing pr0n! Would you like:

    • Me to offer suggestions on sites?
    • Me to tell you if you have images/videos already downloaded?
    • Me to have some Astroglide FedEx'd overnight?

    And the track to play on your BOSE speakers to make them sound their absolute best is 4'33" by John Cage.

  12. Re:One of the many reasons to keep a POTS line. on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: 1

    Plug the phone back in to the wall jack? As long as the house has been connected via a landline, the telco is required to provide tone and 911 service. (I don't know about new construction where no landline service has ever been purchased.) If the telco has disconnected your line completely, it's likely a phone call to the telco will get the problem fixed. If not, you'll probably have to call your AG.

  13. Better yet on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: 1

    One of these. Should be roomy enough inside to add the guts of a small phone with speed dial. Program 911 into speed dial, work the button so that it activates it.

    Ironic that you are posting this bit of sarcastic wisdom on Slashdot, in the Games-themed section, no less.

    And if that fails, the "one 30-lb sack of potatoes across the back of the head" bonus ought to do the trick.

    Just talking out of my ass here: it looks like they did it to make the "ear" fit under the "H" in the blurb title.

    Neat! If the cord is up to it, a stone mouse should make for a fantastic LART.

  20. Re:False Advertising on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 1
    Considering this guy's selling the laptop, the statement of "the ENTIRE LAPTOP is made by SOLID WOOD" isn't quite true.

    What does the fact that he's selling it have to do with whether or not the maker of the laptop was solid wood? Maybe a witch made it.

    Perhaps they saw a certain goat-related website, and all the anal-probing is just them trying to say "Hello".

    you can also let the application do all the dirty work with the 'developer' just sitting there, pointing and clicking, copying and pasting....

    And the fact is, with this level of interaction, with the application creating most of the code, it's all going to work with IE.

    Not in Dreamweaver MX 2004, at least. Using their clicky-clicky interface and built-in templates with a :hover on the "navbar" triggers the Guillotine Bug. This is using only the WYSIWYG editor and banging in attributes on each element in the "properties" boxes.

    It starts with 's' and ends in 'equals'.

    Yes, "sequals". Very similar in usages to "sequels", this new form of the filmmaker's art is acheived by re-releasing the original movie in its entirety to theatres, with the only change being "2" or "II" appended to the title. In this manner, an unlimited number of "sequals" can be released simply by incrementing the trailing numeral.
