  1. I'm confused. on New .tel TLD Now In Use · · Score: 1

    If I got a .tel would I be required to use it as prescribed, or would I be free to put whatever I like? The current example pages remind me of those placeholder pages the squatters use, and based on that I expect this will be a sea of noninformation by the end of next year.

  2. I don't care who wrote the article on Avoiding Mistakes Can Be a Huge Mistake · · Score: 2, Funny

    This sort of thinking does not justify the new userpage.

  3. Please Mod the OP Down on The Myth of Upgrade Inevitability Is Dead · · Score: 1

    The above is an out an out lie. I used the software CD that came with my palm centro last november (no upgrades required) and installed the palm desktop with no issue and it syncs fine both with USB and bluetooth. Are you using some ancient Palm Pilot?

  4. Re:No, Slashdot, No!!! on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1

    You're an idiot.

  5. Re:Too early for a "real" PC on Computer For a Child? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you could just avoid leaving your child alone long enough to pry off every single key.
    Or you could engage your child in a wide variety of activities and observe the interaction, thus being able to form a idea of what your child will do in a given situation.
    Or you could keep banging your head through every day just taking life as it comes at you and then admonish other people on the internet for mistakes you made in your own life.

    No worries; I never cared about yours.

    Lern 2 reed. It looks like crap on konqueror and firefox as well. And my point was not that a large portion of the workforce is stuck with ie6 like I am, it was that the new template for slashdot is hideously ugly, and buggy. Begone, coward!

  8. Re:No, Slashdot, No!!! on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1

    You are a tool. Your black and white "solutions" are of little use in the real world. Stop.

  9. Re:No, Slashdot, No!!! on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately I work in finance, notoriously slow moving in the tech dept, and since we just blew millions of dollars on "new" software designed to be integrated around ie 6 and java I don't see us updating anything anytime soon. Besides it isn't the IT's priority to make sure I can correctly view the web. It's just not a battle that anyone is willing to fight.

    None of this changes the fact that the new css is ugly hard to read uselessly over managed and buggy.

  10. No, Slashdot, No!!! on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    First you brought out tags which don't want to work properly on my work system (ie 6 forever, I'm afraid). Then you brought out that idle garbage. I even would view it from time to time when I was feeling brave enough to venture into that coding travesty. But now you have decided to change my personal info page into a similar css nightmare of green and green! WTF!?! Have you grown tired of pleasing your users? Are you hoping less people will look at someones journal? This is the lamest thing I have seen in a long time...

  11. Re:DNSSEC ready for prime time? on Experts Tell Feds To Sign the DNS Root ASAP · · Score: 1

    Your comment made me realize how addicted I have become to World of Goo.

  12. So much peanut butter all over my chocolate on Triple-Engine Browser Released As Alpha · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So is there some feature that allows it to automatically switch between engines, or is this just another ill-thought out mashup? I mean if I have to choose which engine each time, then I might as well just open another program, RAM isn't the tight commodity it once was.

  13. Still no cure for spellcheck fails. on Researchers Latch Onto BitTorrent To Spot Connection Problems · · Score: 1

    Onto? is that like Goto?

  14. I knew an old lady... on Spider Missing After Trip To Space Station · · Score: 1

    Did anyone ask Heidi if she swallowed a fly?

  15. Re:Slashdot ID on Interviewing Experienced IT People? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't forget that coding consists of 80% programming and 80% troubleshooting.

    I can see why.

  16. Re:How do I like look? on Debian Packages Screenshots Repository Launched · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it was supposed to read: how it would, like, look.

  17. Re:Silly me on Researchers Discover How To Make the Perfect Phone Call · · Score: 1

    I had a perfect call with your mom last night.

  18. Re:*Sigh* Only on Slashdot on American Nerd · · Score: 1

    They also wouldn't know anything about the aforementioned TCP/IP stack

    You aforementioned nothing!

    Yeah, patriot act, rights violations, unecessary power, etc etc...

    Where can I get one?

  22. Re:Are you really THAT important? on Mind Control Delusions and the Web · · Score: 1

    Maybe you aren't, but I am that important because I write the TV shows that everyone watches. Thats why I have to watch so much TV because I am writing the show as it happens, and if I don't do that then the economy will crumble and I will lose my "pretend job" that I have to work in order to disguise my life and immerse myself properly in the world otherwise the tv won't get written right. I was specifically designed for this so I have to do it, it was the job I chose when I put on the virtual reality helmet and started this life, and I put heavy deterents in the program to keep me on the path. You should be thanking me for creating this reality (unless you are one of the supervisors looking in, in which case I'm sorry for blabbing about this, but don't worry they won't believe it's real anyway please don't punish me please I'll be good I won't talk about it again I promise)

    Most of those abuses were well established at least 50 years in the past

    There fixed that for you.

    someone will make a comment about "the guy with the sideburns" to their friend, then I look em in the eyes

    Have you thought about getting rid of the sideburns? Just sayin...

    I wonder if I could make a product selling an aluminum-lined series of hats - look fashionable on the outside, but protect you from mind control on the inside
