  1. Not in my experience on The Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 1

    Safari for me is only a tiny bit faster than Moz 1.4 on my G3 Bronze Powerbook, and the difference hardly matters compared to the molasses-in-winter Mail.app. Moz 1.4 is substantially faster than 1.3 and previous.

  2. To whoever submitted ex-mozilla on The Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 2, Funny

    You didn't really submit an editable page to slashdot, did you?! Whoo boy, if I were the editor of that one, I'd password protect it real quick. (Unless you want to get the new contact info of Mr. Goa Tse.)

  3. Re:Not quite as funny as intended. on The Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Companies making their corporate standard browser a free browser and getting a tax write-off by supporting the browser will be prevalent, I think.

    Not as prevalent as companies simply using Mozilla and paying zero, however.

  4. Moz better than Safari at the moment on The Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 5, Informative

    I use both and prefer Mozilla (better features). Safari is ooh-pretty, but Mozilla gives me better control over things, particularly via the PrefBar that one can download at XulPlanet. I love the new "Kill Flash" button.

  5. Office on OpenOffice 1.1 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    No doubt. I'm still on Office 97 at work and 98 at home, no problems whatsoever (except that 98 Mac is slow in Classic mode, but the OpenOffice solution - X11 - sounds like a massive pain). If someone inb the office bought a license for Office XP, I sure haven't bothered to take advantage of it.

  6. Sad news ... Philip K. Dick, dead at 53 on Philip K. Dick Speaks (Sorta) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Sci Fi writer Philip K. Dick was found dead in his Berkeley home. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

  7. Re:Correction on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Nonetheless CNN is responsible for its prominence on the page.

    (Of course AOL Time Warner is also the author of Winamp and the original author of Gnutella ... hahaha)

  8. Correction on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 5, Insightful
    According to CNN

    According to RIAA member AOL Time Warner

  9. The GPL protects intellectual property. on Meet the DoJ's 'Anti-Piracy' Lawyers · · Score: 1

    Do you go after violators?

  10. Next Feature for Mozilla on PARC's Popout Prism Aids Web Navigation · · Score: 1

    Popup Prism Blocker!

  11. Re:More icing on the Cake... on SCO Taking Linux Discussion To Japan · · Score: 1

    More pageviews for slashdot?

  12. Re:Say what? on Rheingold Preaches Mob-Logging · · Score: 2, Informative

    it's a riff on Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner. The four parts are Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdammerung.

  13. Article on Cringely On Electronic Tapping · · Score: 4, Funny
    There isn't any new information in the article

    But slashdot will post 2-3 stories about it anyway.

  14. Alan C++0X on Latest Proposals for C++0x · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is what happens when he's happy to see you!

  15. Rheingold? on Rheingold Preaches Mob-Logging · · Score: 2, Funny

    I for one can't wait for the Götterdammerung that will result from this one.

  16. Re:Forget that on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    As I recall Muskol is pretty damn close to 100% DEET. That strength may not be sold in the US anymore - but I'm pretty sure they still sell it that strong in Canada. (Serious mosquitoes up there.)

  17. Forget that on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Use full strength Muskol and you'll be bite-free! (A great Canadian invention.)

  18. so don't buy it. on More Info on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 1

    I won't. Sounds like crap to me.

  19. the only thing... on More Info on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 4, Insightful
    the only thing that differentiates this 'game console' from a standard, Windows-running PC is that it has no way to get data on or off of it except through a dedicated connection to Infinium Labs' own servers.

    Yet.

  20. Re:Doctor confirms, CEO Tom St. Dennis is dying. on Wind River CEO Unexpectedly Resigns · · Score: 1

    Is that like the river of blood that is like the red ink flowing from Wind River and the other *BSD developers?

  21. Amen that (Amen Amen) on Webcaster Alliance Threatens To Sue RIAA · · Score: 0, Redundant
    I amen that (I amen that amen).

    SomaFM is the bomb.

  22. Incorrect on Firewalls and Internet Security, Second Edition · · Score: 1

    Actually the Amazon reviewer is also D Bruce Curtis from AICS,Phoenix,Az-USA. So I think the same guy submitted it to both Amazon and slashdot. Not quite the same as a pure troll (if it's a real troll, where's the goatse redirect?).

  23. You mean on Firewalls and Internet Security, Second Edition · · Score: 5, Informative
    third edition?

    (not often do we see dupe book reviews .. then again, I suppose it's fine to have multiple opinions on the subject.)

    Also, note that this is identical to a review (third one down, by the same guy it seems) on amazon. So it's a double-dupe!

  24. The Trolls on Fiber-Optic Map: A Classified Dissertation? · · Score: 1
    Kinda makes me wonder if Taco and Timothy are actually the most skilled trolls around.

    I stopped wondering that years ago. Slashdot in general, and the YRO section in particular, is one big trollfest. Enjoy!

  25. Re:Good lord on Open Source Law · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're riffing on the classic look of Suck, the dear departed daily?
