  1. Re:Lots of compatible devices.. on PS3 Jailbreaks Galore Released · · Score: 1

    And now you can use your iPod video 5G [url=http://psgroove.com/?p=1028]http://psgroove.com/?p=1028[/url]

  2. Re:Here's the controller hack on PS3 Jailbreaks Galore Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think you mean up up down down left right left right BA

  3. This is a day for the history books.... on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    9/23/10, the day facebook went down, and everyone remembered they have lives.

  4. Re:I hope there's a way to turn this off on Google Preps Instant Search For Chrome 8 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't think that having it display something NSFW should really be an issue. When someone first mentioned something about this I was curious (good thing I'm not a cat) about what would happen if you do type something like "milf" or "porn" into google instant search. As it turns out google doesn't display any results for things of that nature and just says "press enter to search" which is no different than the "old" google.

  5. Re:Hello. on Looking Back At OS X's Origins · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu releases always use alliteration. Meaning that the first letters are the same. Amorous Badger therefor would not be an Ubuntu release.

  6. Re:Who is this for, really? on The PlayStation Move Arrives — a Hands-On Report · · Score: 1

    The wii still does not comply with the full DVD spec. Sure you can play most DVDs but it still doesn't full fill it.

  7. Re:So, what is the digit in decimal? on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think it would be neater to be done in binary. Or perhaps convert it to ASCII to see if pi actually represents a story of some kind that is being told to us by the aliens.

  8. Re:Open after all on Microsoft's Chief Exec For Latin America Says 'Open' Means 'Incompetent' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps they figured that if you go on both sides of an argument you are bound to win atleast 50% of the argument. Or, perhaps it just truly shows their incompetence.

  9. Re:The point is... on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 1

    I thought the point of this article was to switch to Linux which will be free of all of those windoz viruses. Or to perhaps not click on links that you don't trust.

  10. Re:Taking bets? I'll bet against it. on Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    He should write in a question to Slashdot on how to propose to her...

  11. Re:Comparisons like this don't mean squat... on Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    >>>but performance is not a priority with my software. "Buy One Now (tm)". But the thing is with Wine is that you can just go over to their site and download it right now, for free. Heck, they will even let you download the source code for free so you can work on it on your own volunteered time. Then you can work on whatever you want, whether it be speed/performance or compatibility.

  12. Re:No cross platform support either on IE 9 Beta Strips Down For Speed · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there something posted on slashdot recently about how Linux is actually closer to 7-8% usage along with Mac being at like 9%? I'm not sure if that included Android or iOS though.

  13. Re:Nope on Why Broadband Prices Haven't Decreased · · Score: 1

    >>"Nine years ago I paid $50/month for 640kbps." Well, 640k ought to be enough for everybody...

  14. Re:Meaningless uninformed journalist bs on Simulating Galaxies With Supercomputers · · Score: 1

    But how would you set up the computer to compute its own particles? If you really want a truly accurate representation of the entire universe you would need to include the computer doing this... I sense a paradox coming on.

  15. Re:Twenty-five years? on 25 Years of Super Mario Bros. · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Since when have slashdot mods actually been good?

  16. Who really needs that much bandwidth? on Gigabit Speeds At Home In the US · · Score: 1

    Especially at a consumer level. You can only watch/download so much porn in one month before you hit other bottlenecks....

  17. Re:"At home" on Gigabit Speeds At Home In the US · · Score: 1

    They would probably block or throttle all bittorrent activity though...

  18. Re:or just use foxit on Microsoft Helps Adobe Block PDF Zero-Day Exploit · · Score: 1

    I like the document reader that comes with Gnome/Ubuntu.

  19. Re:What will google do? on 25 Years of Super Mario Bros. · · Score: 1

    My guess would be that they would do it in HTML5 like they have been doing a lot of things in.

  20. Re:Really? on Facebook Surpasses Google For Users' Online Time · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Google already know enough about everyone? They already have gmail, blogspot, youtube, Ad-words, and analytics. As great as Google is, it doesn't need to be any bigger than what it is now.

  21. Re:Right, because Google is *instant* now. on Facebook Surpasses Google For Users' Online Time · · Score: 1

    Google should have already searched for what I wanted before I even go there. In fact, i shouldn't even have to search. Google should be smart enough to automatically open the web page I want before I even know that I want it open.

  22. Re:I missed something on Open Source VLC Media Player Coming To iPad · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Yes you should, but Steve objects to it so it doesn't happen. Plenty of reasons for and against it, but as far as I'm aware you can only install apps through the marketplace.

    You can install pretty much any app you want on it if you jailbreak it.

  23. Re:Wait... on School Swaps Math Textbooks For iPads · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sure, but think of the children and how much better they will be able to learn under Lord Jobs.

  24. Re:Expensive on School Swaps Math Textbooks For iPads · · Score: 3, Funny

    Better teacher lounges are not a waste of money in the school's teacher's minds.

  25. Re:English 333? on University Offers Class In Zombie Studies · · Score: 1

    Zombies 404 That would make more sense to me, as all the students would not be able to find the class.
