  1. Re:So... on CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    What do they suggest? FrontPage + IE7, of course. If everyone did their pages in FrontPage using whatever the wizards tell them looks good, and everybody viewed web pages in the latest version of IE, then everybody would pay Microsoft for the latest version of Windows and we'd all be happy.

  2. Re:And as we can See.... on Online Purchases Can Give You Away · · Score: 2, Funny
    Indicate that you are a 40yr old Male, Single... probably naked right now...

    going by the name "M. Jackson".

  3. Hmmm, EMC is in there on EDS: Linux is Insecure, Unscalable · · Score: 1

    Perhaps what they said was that the cost for support contracts for Linux aren't increasing exponentially per annum, but there was a typo in the interview notes and it came out as "Linux doesn't scale".

  4. Re:now i'm curious... on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    Judging only from Slashdot, it'll be because the colors on the case do not hideously clash with the desk, the walls and good taste in general.

  5. Re:no way they'd do that on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1
    ... the box model seems mostly compliant in IE6 when you run it in standards-compliant mode.

    Check this out. Look at it in a standards-capable browser, then in IE. "Mostly compliant" is still not compliant.

  7. Re:Not too keen on Standards on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    They might be shooting too high. Maybe they should start with getting CSS1 support into IE first.

  8. Re:Why wait? Buy now! on Nintendo Dismisses October Zelda Launch · · Score: 1
    Is pre-ordering a game really that necessary anymore?

    Anymore? When has pre-ordering a game ever been "neccesary"?

  9. Next question on Gmail Goes Public · · Score: 1

    When will Gmail be presented in valid markup? Putting everything except controls into 5 pixel high table cells seems rather silly.

  10. Re:Names on Ask Mozilla Foundation Chief Mitchell Baker · · Score: 1

    Sources state that it's their stand-alone newsreader. Codenamed "DB2", the upcoming name will be the "FamilyTruckster".

    You think you hate it now, just wait 'til you UUDECODE with it!

  11. Re:Thick ethernet? on 1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    Because a 4 foot length of thickwire makes a damn fine LART, particulary if you have a broken terminator on the end of it.

  12. Re:Useful on 1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    Possibly. Still, running it a couple inches off the floor through a sliding door as shown in the picture might be preferable to many homeonwers, and definitely to renters, than drilling through the inside and outside walls to run in-wall cables.

  13. Re:Just like on Anatomy of a Successful Enterprise Linux Distro? · · Score: 1

    So Slashdot is the right forum to ask, then.

  14. ObCartman on ESA and NASA Consider Joint Mission To Europa · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Goddammit, I didn't get an anal probe!!

  15. How ironic? on The Fate of The Free Newspaper · · Score: 1

    Not as ironic as the Times article (free registration req'd) about how insidious web pages with so-called "free" registration req'd really are, and how you should be distrustful of such.

  16. Re:I like internet pictures. on The Peculiar World of Web Photo Sharing · · Score: 1

    But are they Jenni's boobs, or Dex's?

  17. Re:Why are we interested in this sort of thing? on The Peculiar World of Web Photo Sharing · · Score: 1
    What am I missing?!

    A sense of humor?

  18. Re:email archive on How Do You Store and Reconcile Email Archives? · · Score: 1

    That's an unfair generalization. He could be a GNOME dev, after all.

  19. Re:Burgler Cam?? on Infrared Webcam HOWTO · · Score: 0, Troll

    Don't worry. You're nowhere NEAR Hemos' mangling of the English language. Do we even KNOW what a "wecam" is?

  20. No lone wolves? on The DotCom Crash Revisited · · Score: 1
    He misses the sense of community of the early dotcom days - now, he says, there are "a lot of lone wolves out there, doing their thing".

    It's down towards the end of the article.

  21. Re:The Easy Wipe OS! on Novell To Ship Xen in Next Version of Suse · · Score: 1

    Loose CPU heatsink? Drink a beer... best shim material in the world.

  22. Re:Rules on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 1

    Damn straight! Any security ex-spurt who allows a DELL "person" near anything DESERVES to have their power supplies set on fire, their disk arrays disconnected while running and all their screws stolen.

  23. Re:Nonsense on NZ Business Fined For Out-of-Date Website · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course they do. SOMEONE has to think of the children, after all!

  24. Re:That's strange... on Problems With the Firefox Development Process · · Score: 1
    I guess the project is a complete failure if they have you thinking that Firefox is the next Java or something....

    Now THAT'S a thinker.
