  1. Google uses Tags on Labels Not Tags, Says Google · · Score: 1

    Both Docs.google.com and reader.google.com uses the term "tag" not label. Maybe gmail hasn't been updated yet as reader and docs are the newest of them.

  2. Popular Vote Sucks on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    3 States could decide the election. People that don't like the Electoral College don't understand why it was created. Also there is a better way. Instead the state going for the candidate that won the state it should go by district. Then your voice would be among a couple hundred thousand people instead of a whole state.

  3. Ban China on Bill Gates Defends Google's Censorship In China · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Everyone that has a problem with Google's choice needs to stop buying anything made in China. Must be nice to have double standards. Bad Google, oh this Vacuum is really nice for 19.99.

    Give me a break.

  4. Like a couple of things on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1

    I like out they have the link and moving ability in the title. I would like to click the title bar and go to the website, like slashdot. I would love to make suggestions to google does anyone know of a site like gmail had? I would like to be able to orginze my bookmarks too. Its still awsome just funny how M$ is always behind.

  5. DVD Version on Knoppix 3.9 Released · · Score: 1

    Can't they do a DVD version for the people that have DVDs? They are like $35 now.

  6. Re:Are CRTs on the way out? on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    Do LCD have refresh? The thing i do is wave a pencil in front of a CRT and you can see the refresh of it. But if you do it to a LCD you see it as if you were waving it in front of a wall. I guess it has a refresh but the pixel doesn't loose its light before the next one comes.

  7. Why A patent? on Steering Wheel Checks Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 1

    If he did it to help then why patent it? So I guess he did it for money to help people? That must be it.

  8. No More $$$ on MPAA CEO Dan Glickman on the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 1

    Good, I think its great then they won't make any more money from the movies. They can store 'em in the basement somewhere and let them be forgotten. This is just an empty threat because it was overturned. They will show the movies not matter if the broadcast flag was passed.

    God I hate the MPAA.

  9. Never a Friend of OS on McVoy Strikes Back · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He was never a friend of opensource and only in it for the $$$$. I will put our ideas against any company. What as M$ created in the last 15 years??? I can't think of one thing that wasn't a knock off of something else.

  10. Re:Did you actually read Linus' reply? on Bruce Perens Tells Linus Torvalds To Cool It · · Score: 1

    He didn't turn over anything. All he did was use a process. Nothing bad with that but he should have know that a close process was not good for open software. Its not like bitmover locks up the kernel. Without it, it just takes more work to merge patches, oh-well we will live. A open SCM will emerge and we won't remember this in a year.

  11. Re:DNSBLs are a mixed bag on Should You Trust MAPS? · · Score: 1

    I agree, I have had nothing but great sucess with spamhaus. We block over 10,000 messages an hour with it. No one can request anyone to be put on Spamhaus' list. It is done through spam traps and other methods. The removal process is just a request through the web and is automatic.

  12. Transfer URL to me on e-Scrabble gets Cease and Desist Order from Hasbro · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well transfer the name to me and I will host it until Hasbro sues me. Then I will grant them thier wish but only after I transfer it to one of the other 100,000 players. I think we should be able to do this for at least a couple of years. :)

  13. Re:Patents can be enforced against Linux on Sun Grants Access to 1,600+ Patents · · Score: 1

    So you are assuming that the GPL was the first free licenses. People have been trading and giving software away for free all the way back to the Altair. The Altair came out way before 1985.

  14. Re:Patents can be enforced against Linux on Sun Grants Access to 1,600+ Patents · · Score: 1

    Why don't you see what license existed first. How the hell do you know.

  15. Re:Typical biased Slashdotter numbers on Local Root Exploit in Linux 2.4 and 2.6 · · Score: 1

    Okay and Linux should be faulted for the smart design why? Linus says he likes the quote from Newton that says if I was able to see further it was only because I was standing on the shoulders of gaints. So Microsoft changed the OS design/research from 1960 and called thier OS better. I think they have shown they made a mistake.

  16. Scam on SCO Puts a Cap on its Legal Expenses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I bet they had this planned from the beginning. The banks that loaned them the money must feel like a a$$.

    Cash

  18. Why by July 1? on Is The Public Stuck With The Broadcast Flag? · · Score: 1

    We the public can put pressure on the administration in office to not allow that. If we are willing to accept thier decision and just try to buy them up before July 1. Then we deserve what we get. Write your congress people tell what you think. Then don't vote for the ass holes.

  19. Re:Qualifications???!! on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    Why do you think Bush and Kerry can lead the free world? What Proof do you have that Bush has done a good job?

    Great Comment. I see no one replied because no one can argue with you.

    I hate lesser of 2 evils BS too.

  21. Re:Compact Menu Extension on Exploring Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1

    I do this now. I have just one bar with all my icons, menus, and address bar in one. Then my tabs are below that. Very compact and very nice. A lot nicer then IE in my opionin.

  23. Re:Here's one way to get the most from it on Is A Catch-All Address Worth The Spam? · · Score: 1

    I do this with aliases. I guess it would be easier to come up with email addresses on the fly if you used the catch all but I dont receive any spam and I just remove the alias if it gets out of hand.

  24. Re:3 Stories on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    Damn enter button,

    Anyways he then wired a 120 plug for a 6000 printer to 277volts and used the printer to test it, not a good idea.

    He also wired a suite and half the cubes were tied into the light switch.

    He nows runs around with a pig tail light to test. Can't even afford a voltage tester.

    Since I couldn't proof read the the last one Im not even going to reread this one. :)

  25. 3 Stories on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    We have a famous electrian that doesn't know anything about electricity.
    The first incendent involved wiring a 30amp 120volt plug. After a Cowork plugged in the UPS and an arc the size of a lighting bolt jumped out we traced the conduit back to a 440volt panel. He wired it to one hot thus giving us 277 volts.
