  1. GIMP over Photoshop? on DreamWorks Switches to Linux · · Score: 1

    I would bring my Win2k laptop or Powerbook to work.

  2. .Net != "Hailstorm" on Microsoft Gives Up on Hailstorm · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "As a person worried about the future with .NET..."

    It's kinda sad to see how uninformed some people are about what .Net actually is.

    It's been a long day in front of the PC so I'm not gonna bother explaining .NET for those who have'nt taken the trouble to learn what .NET truly is.

    But, needless to say, it would be a huge mistake to think that this is somehow related to the success or failure of .NET as a whole.

  3. Re:Wrong ( Right ) on Questions over the Windows Trademark · · Score: 1

    In light of your thoughtfull comments, I have to admit your correct and I completely missed the sarcasm.

    But because this is Slashdot (where the anti-MS FUD flows freely) I think I can be forgiven this oversight on my part.

    Sincerely :)

  4. Wrong on Questions over the Windows Trademark · · Score: 1

    "Frontpage is a program for designging print media."

    It is? I think you know not what you say.

  5. You laugh now on A Quick Peek at Longhorn · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    but it will be a feature in any Linux distro soon enough.

    It's the weirdest thing. Take any Linux app and it turns out to be a clean rip-off of a Microsoft app. Interface, function and all. Albeit ten times slower.

  6. Thats SIX years old. SIX !!! on MS Buys (Some) SGI Patents · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    And it got moderated to a 5.

  7. Installed Perfectly on Uber-patch for Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    Download - Execute as Administrator - Reboot - Done.

    And it didnt have to "de-integrate" the browser from local file aceess either. Mike :)

  8. Re:Let's see.. on Another Gaping Microsoft Security Hole Goes Unpatched · · Score: 1

    IE will not launch any file with a .EXE extension without first asking for permission.

  9. Re:Please spare us on Serious Bug In 2.4.15/2.5.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Name one that has not had this same problem in the last year? Just one"

    Windows 2000

    Take this post as a challenge. Reply with a link that shows that there is/was a bug in Windows 2000 that caused the loss of a ENTIRE FILE SYSTEM ala Linux or Apples iTunes.

  10. Pathetic Cop-Out on Serious Bug In 2.4.15/2.5.0 · · Score: 0, Troll

    "If you want stable, solid kernels, that are heavily QA'd...."

    Yes I do and that why I use Windows 2000.

  11. Please spare us on Serious Bug In 2.4.15/2.5.0 · · Score: 1

    Expecting a OS to not destroy files is not holding a high standard. Just the opposite.

  12. Hypocrite. Pure and Simple on XBox Netplay Already · · Score: 1

    Can it be otherwise?

  13. You just might be on Matsumoto/Daft Punk Videos Online · · Score: 1

    Got it streaming on ie5.5 as I type.

  14. How Does Crow Taste? on Microsoft FrontPage License Prohibits Anti-Microsoft Speech · · Score: 1

    Does it taste like Chicken?

  15. Your All Very Short-Sighted on Microsoft Defends Passport To Privacy Group · · Score: 1

    All I've read is complaints about MS requiring just one password to use PassPort. As if typing in a series of numbers and letters is how a user will self-authenticate in the near future.

    Look for voice-recognition, fingerprint ID and retinal scan capability being built-in into the next version of Windows.

    *Then* you'll see the value of Passport and .NET.

  16. Thats a GREAT reason to go with MS on Microsoft Defends Passport To Privacy Group · · Score: 1

    At least they have been tested.

    Can anyone else, with their 2% market share make the same claim?

  17. Brilliant Observation !! on Windows Reaches 64-Bits, For OEMs · · Score: 0, Troll

    So you should'nt use....it unless you need it?

    You need to post on Slashdot more.

  18. This got moderated up?? on Windows Reaches 64-Bits, For OEMs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It might be the end of Slashdot as I knew it.

    Rest in Peace

  19. 30 Hertz : Not Tiny, Not High Frequency on Expert: Mars Astronauts Would Lose Teeth · · Score: 1

    That you would be 30Khz which is a tiny high frequency indeed, beyond the perceptible hearing range of most humans.

    30Hz is deep and low. Audible too! ( if you got good ears ).

  20. Hey Slashdot Editors..stop your whining on All Aboard The Technological Revolution · · Score: 1

    Enough with your whining about the New York Times registration.

    Its their web site, it is up to them how they want to manage it.

    If you dont like it STOP LINKING TO THEIR ARTICLES.

    But since its seems the NYTimes is providing a great portion of your content, thats not very likely is it?

  21. Teach Her This. on The Real History of the GUI · · Score: 1

    1) Using Explorer navigate to the directory of the source folder.
    2) Click to select the file or files that you want to move or copy.
    3) Press CTRL-C or CTRL-X to choose to copy or move the files respectivly.
    4) Using Explorer navigate to the desired destination directory
    5) Press CTRL-P.
    Done

  22. Coming from a Recording Engineer on Insanely Audiophile · · Score: 1
    I can tell you that a good 80% of audiophile hardward is nothing more than ego stroking.

    Ask any audio professional. We all laugh at these so called "audiophiles".

    Why? Because all this "audiophile" gear only serves to sweeten the sound rather accuratly reproduce it in a way intended by the musician, producer and engineer.

    Although a recording studio can cost millions of dollars, most of that is spent on gear used to capture and record the audio signal. Not play it back.

    The play back chain is as simple as it can be:

    Source -> Amp -> Monitors -> Ears

    Granted, the amp and the monitors can cost thousands of dollars but its still nowhere near the amounts spent by these so-called "audiophiles".

    Its really silly to think that they can somehow make it sound "better" than the recording studio from whence it came.

    Any audio recording engineer will tell you the same thing:

    We'll take a good clean amp feeding two good montitors in a good room over these sweetened "audiophile" systems any day.

  23. SlashFUD on The Return Of Microsoft: Part Two · · Score: 1
    What is SlashFUD?

    1. Negative assertations aimed at Microsoft, Microsoft products or Microsoft users.

    2. Said assertations are at best only half-correct but usually completely wrong on the critical details.

    3. SlashFUD is rarely informed by facts but rather by an irrational contempt of all things Microsoft.

    4. Following the journalistic lead of Slashdot editors, those who post SlashFUD rarely take the time to actually research the veracity of the material supporting their arguments.
