  1. Grammar on Slashdot is horrible! on New Linux Worm · · Score: 1
    Linux has very much arrive judging by the number of nasty virus starting to pop up.

    Yeah, and all your base are belong to us. Is that 3 errors in one sentence?

    I think you mean Linux has very much arrived, judging by the number of nasty viruses (virii) starting to pop up.

  2. Re:We're Coders, we can fix this on Salon Sans Ads, For A Price · · Score: 2

    Check out the icab browser for Macs at http://www.icab.de. You can filter ads based on their pixel sizes or the server they come from, and it's user customizable so you can add your own. A great idea we'll never see from IE or NS I imagine!

  3. Re:sounds impressive.... on Tile Based Rendering and Accelerated 3D · · Score: 1

    You've got to be shitting me. ATI? They are the lamest, nonexistant driver, non-3d 3d card manufacturer. I just wasted a weekend trying to get Half-life running under W2k. Their OpenGL implementation is so poor the game performs best in SOFTWARE RENDERING.

  4. New Line Cinema is a spammer on 'Thirteen Days' · · Score: 1

    I heartily suggest that you avoid this movie, since it's producer, New Line Cinema is a spammer. They use a 3rd party to send their spam, and the "unsubscribe" link, of course, doesn't work. And yes, I'm sure I didn't give them my email address. They've spammed with ads for several movies over the last few months. I've reported them to spamcop.net but they are so huge I'm sure nothing will happen.

  5. Try natural gas vehicles on What Does the Future Hold for Low Emission Vehicles? · · Score: 1

    Natural gas powered vehicles are an ideal solution and are already in use today. The fuel is cheap and domestically produced (no more overpriced gasoline from overseas), and a variety of vehicles are available, Chevy Cavalier, Honda Civic, Toyota Camry. For more info on natural gas vehicles see NGV.ORG

  6. Try natural gas on Are Nitrogen Powered Cars The Future? · · Score: 1

    An interesting alternative to gasoline and or diesel is compressed natural gas (CNG). It's abundant and domestically produced, inexpensive, and natural gas powered vehicles are available now, unlike the vaporware fuel cells, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc. You can learn more about natural gas vehicles at NGV.ORG

  7. Try natural gas fueled vehicles on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    Finally, a topic I know something about! I help produce NGV.ORG, a website dedicated to providing information about natural gas vehicles. The natural gas fueling infrastructure is growing quite rapidly. In California, you can now drive dedicated natural gas vehicles in the carpool lane (with appropriate decal), a real plus. There can also be tax rebates and other financial incentives to use natural gas. Natural gas Honda Civics, Ford Crown Victorias, Toyota Camrys, and other passenger cars are available NOW. Check it out.

  8. Re:What's the problem? on Microsoft's IE 5.5 Flouts Industry Standards · · Score: 1

    Sure, we can choose not to develop with the proprietary features, but MS FrontPage, used by legions of idiot web developers will put these tags in, transparent to the user, whether they like it or not. Have you SEEN the code FP generates! Just try building your page while keeping it from putting any MS proprietary stuff in. Oh yeah, did I mention all Windows users get a free copy of FP Lite? What do you think they are going to develop with? Then when the page doesn't work in Netscape, they will just say, oh, Netscape sucks, use IE.

  9. Re:Good to know on Microsoft's IE 5.5 Flouts Industry Standards · · Score: 1

    Of course, it's up to web developers to NOT use the proprietary tags. But MS will make FrontPage start putting in these tags, transparent to the user. Most people won't even be able to figure out how to turn it off. Average Joe idiot will just tell everyone "just use IE, cuz Netscape sukz", when in reality, their own lame ass web publishing software is to blame.

  10. They stole "Cuckoo's Egg" from the book on Interesting Way To Protest Napster · · Score: 1

    These guys stole the name "Cuckoo's Egg" from the computer related book by Cliff Stoll I think is his name. Isn't THAT a copyright violation? Hypocrites.

  11. Did anyone else notice this? on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Anybody else notice this? "A footnote: the player cannot read MP3s that exceed a 196 Kbps bit rate." This is lame - some kind of attempt to stop you from getting too close to real CD quality?

  12. Re:Double taxing on The Inevitable Internet Sales Tax? · · Score: 1

    Tobacco taxes aren't paid mostly by the poor, they are paid mostly by people stupid enough to purchase tobacco.
