  1. www.uninformed.org? on Tunneling Shellcode with ActiveX · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they should change it to www.informed.org

  2. Re:notebook/tablet on Printing (Big) Manuals? · · Score: 1

    PDF would be fine if a 3rd party viewer came out that was as full featured as acrobat reader but didn't insist on running the background taking up 60 megs of ram just because you happened to open a pdf hours ago, but didn't close IE. Adobe is also getting really bad about installing scrapbook software and a bunch of other junk when you try to get the free reader as well.

  3. Re:Evil Hard Copy on Printing (Big) Manuals? · · Score: 1

    I agree about php.net, I'm always disappointed that there isn't a similar site for every other programming language out there. The java api stuff is pretty good but doesn't have the nice ability to add comments and it kind of hard to find from sun's website.

  4. Re:How did they author the videos? on Firefox Promo Videos · · Score: 1

    It's flash.

  5. Re:Its only the bad things we head about? on Safari vs. KHTML · · Score: 5, Informative

    The problem with Apple and KDE is that apple doesn't make patches that are easy to apply to the khtml source. They release one patch that has tons of changes instead of one change per patch.

  6. honestly. on Safari vs. KHTML · · Score: 4, Funny

    We've previously reported on the frustration in the OSS community on this issue.

    Atleast you're being honest.

  7. Re:Years on Rejected Scientific Paper Recycled as an Ad · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder how much money he is making off the google ads from the slashdotting we are giving him.

  8. Re:Missing the point on Solipsis - a Decentralized Open-Source MMORPG · · Score: 1

    i wonder if something like that could be accomplished with pirate WOW servers

  9. Re:What defines a moon? on Twelve New Moons Found for Saturn · · Score: 1

    OTOH, a simpler formula, such as minimum percentage of size relative to the orbited planet (10 percent?) would be more managable.

    how would that be a good system, if a body the size of earth was rotating around a larger planet, you wouldn't wont it to be considered a moon if it was less than 10% the size of the planet it was orbiting? That's crazy and just as subjective as any other means of determining what to distinguish as a moon.

  10. Re:That's a little... extreme on Liquid Metal CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure which world you're living in, but sealed water cooling systems in the form of heat pipes are already used by many big name pc companies and in laptops.

    As for the $100 price you are clearly talking out of your ass. A DIY water cooling system might be in the neighborhood of $100 now, but due to the economy of scale, a water cooling system in a big name pc would only add a few dollars at most to the cost of them system.

  11. cold fusion on Room-Temperature, Small-Scale Fusion at UCLA · · Score: 1

    Is room-temperature fusion considered cold fusion or is that something else?

  12. Re:Surpasses != Usurps on Go Daddy Usurps Network Solutions · · Score: 1

    Ignore him, he's making up stuff to defend the misuse of the word, you were correct.

  13. Re:For someone not hip on the lingo on DirecTV's 1st MPEG4 Satellite Launch Successful · · Score: 1

    If so, she's not interested in buying a new receiver. If DirecTV wants to keep her as a customer they can send her an upgrade for free.

    From what I've seen, they are pretty good about replacing receivers even if they are ones you bought yourself at radioshack.

  14. Re:Jack of All Trades, Master of None on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    Of course you mention the most bloated peice of shit Linux distro for an example.

    Perhaps you should try Damn Small Linux, and see if your opinion is the same.


    But then that wouldn't be a fair comparision, if you are going to compare the latest MS offering, you need to compare it to a linux distro that is running KDE or Gnome.

  15. Re:Yes on Soldering For Non-Solderers? · · Score: 1

    Why didn't you just solder it back on and cover it with a blob of epoxy?

  16. sourceforge on Tridge Releases BitKeeper-Compatible Tool · · Score: -1, Troll

    I love sourceforge projects that essentially nothing on them.

  17. Re:Answer on One Year Later - CUPS Admin Still Lacking? · · Score: 1

    Does MacOS X's printing really use CUPS?

  18. first rule of indy, don't tell slashdot. on Indy: Auto-Discover Free Music to Download · · Score: 3, Funny

    From Ian Clarke's blog


    Check it out here, let me know what you think (PS. the website will shut down automatically if it starts getting too many hits, so tell your friends, but don't tell /. ;-).

  19. Wikipedia is a huge success on The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia, Part II · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If there is one thing these articles have convinced me of, it's that Wikipedia exists as it does today despite Larry Sanger not because of Larry Sanger.

  20. dell == intel's bitch on Dell Still Intel Only · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why not offer customers an alternative that has better performance instead of risking the lose of those customers to another vendor that does?

    Because the loss of customer's is less than the bribes they get from intel.

  21. Re:Which Law? on Comcast Sued For Giving Customer Info to RIAA · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure there are federal laws that apply to everyone saying that you can't disclose people's nonpublic personal information. If you read those privacy letters the bank sends you when they change their TOS, they usually elude to the difference between public information and nonpublic information, I doubt they do this of their own free will.

  22. everyone is an apple fan at some point. on Windows Journalist Takes On Tiger · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apple fans are like Cubs fans. Everyone is routing for them at one point, and pretty much hates them the rest of the time.

  23. Re:Related question - re-purposing laptop LCD's? on Obtaining Used LCD Parts? · · Score: 1

    How hard is it to turn a (presumably working) LCD from an old dead laptop into either a flatscreen monitor for a VGA signal or a display for analog video?

    Very.

    period.

  25. Re:Enterprise is Dead !!! on Enterprise Finale Synopsis Released · · Score: 1

    So its not a "has to have" issue at all, it's just common for shows to have 100 episodes before being syndicated.
