  1. Re:Huh? on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Most Stable Smartphones These Days? · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing we're talking about depleted batteries, not defective ones.

  2. Transcendental numbers stole my identity!! on Nokia's iPhone, No Seriously · · Score: 1

    Dude, I saw my SS number in pi once! Yours was in there too!
    Transcendental numbers stole my identity!!

  3. Re:Woohoo on Investors Bailing On SCO Stock, SCOX Plummets · · Score: 0

    Do you know what selling short actually means? You win when the stock goes down - both your examples were long positions.

  4. Let me help you understand on Details and Rumors of iPhone Restrictions Emerging · · Score: 1
    The following two quotes are contradictory:

    It has Windows Mobile 5

    By all accounts, my TYTN is FAR AND AWAY more functional than the iPhone

    I had a work MotoQ that suffered the Black Screen of Death (a software problem with Windows Mobile) which requires a replacement unit. How is that good IN ANY WAY? My phone cannot do anything except display a cryptic DOS-style error message.
  5. Re:Well for one on Java-Based x86 Emulator · · Score: 1

    The recent ones use a read-only mmap for thew core classes, so they *do* share things between JVMs on the same machine.

  6. Re:Labour party? on British Cops Hack Into Government Computers · · Score: 1

    Think "Organized-" not "Child-" or "Birthing="

  7. How about plurals? on The Partnership That Could Have Changed Everything · · Score: 1

    I hate "mp3's" "DVD's" "CD's" and their ilk.
    Who's with me?

  8. OMG on Mossberg - Vista Is Worthy, Largely Unexciting · · Score: 1

    I thought you were kidding (goatse Amazon link? ;) but this product is actually REAL!

  9. From the duh! dept. on UK Schools At Risk of Microsoft Lock-In · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Well, obviously!......

  11. Re:Book on Brightest Supernova Discovered · · Score: 2, Funny
    I learned a lot from it about novas.
    ...except how to pluralize "nova" ;)
  12. Re:He's an idiot on HP's Windows Bundle Trouble · · Score: 1

    Hey Bill, how's that philanthropy working out?

  13. Re:Well... ok on iPod Has Nothing To Fear From Slow-Starting Zune · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I'm sick of the comments saying "aww the Zune is only the 1st gen", and "iPod wasn't an immediate success". These things are totally irrelevant folks!

    Zune is competing in an established market, in 2006 -- and is doing very badly.
    Deal with it.

  14. Re:Why bother to comment on a first effort on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 5, Informative

    Your comments about Windows are spot-on, but this time it's different.
    The market for portable music players is not the same as the preloaded OEM software "market", nor are they entering a vacuum.

    This time MS needs to make a good product that will stand on its own merits, or they'll bleed red ink until the shareholders tell 'em to quit.

  15. Re:Roundabouts in the US on Life Without Traffic Signs · · Score: 1

    Excellent! I just checked out Carmel on Google Maps, and I can attest to the fact that these are "true" roundabouts, not traffic circles (which are not the same thing at all).
    Vail, Colorado has a couple in a "dumbbell" configuration at an intersection of I-70.

    I just wish more places in the U.S. would adopt true roundabouts...

  16. No thanks on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    No voluntary DRM for me. Not that I even run Windows anyway...

  17. Re:cool! on The Sun Had Sisters · · Score: 1

    There's a great description of this with some great diagrams in a recent Scientific American. It was the cover story "Catastrophysics"!

  18. Re: Deliver First Class Web Sites? on Deliver First Class Web Sites · · Score: 0, Redundant

    F-I-R-S-T.
    Do I win a prize?

  19. Cachet? on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow, the iPod will really start to lag if it loses it's cache!

  20. Re:iPod Killer #340,293 on Why Microsoft's Zune Scares Apple to the Core · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's both -- whichever happens first your tracks are toast.

  21. Re:There goes my week! on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They don't want to alienate anyone, nor do they want the free publicity to end. All they want to do is keep their trademarks--hence the C&D letters.

  22. How dumb is this? on "How to Talk Like a Pirate" Film · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    This shoud be "Talk like someone from the West Country of England Day.
    Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Country_dialects

    There's no such thing as "Pirate Speech".

  23. MOD PARENT UP on Bank Accounts of 5,000 UK Terror Suspects Tracked · · Score: 1

    Wow, someone finally understands that democracy is not simply "the will of the majority".

  24. Re:I concur on Vista Runs Hot on Macbook Pro · · Score: 1

    No matter what you say, it's still lame. Do YOU have an idle process when you're not doing anything? Of course not--you're just not doing anything.

  25. Alternate names? on Geologists Angry About New 'Pluton' Definition · · Score: 1

    I've heard of "pluton" and "plutino".
