  1. Re:Good Riddance on MS Gives 60-Day Deadline to Web Devs · · Score: 1

    Have you tried the workarounds listed in the white paper?

  2. Re:Mes Ami slashdotter on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 1

    Reading is only a few points off making it to the premier level, and Yanks Abroad has an article about how he and Bobby Convey have helped--especially Convey's goal last weekend.

  3. Re:Mes Ami slashdotter on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How is the text of the commercial used to launch Joga in a thread about Joga even slightly offtopic?

  4. Re:GTA model on Spore Is EA's New Ace · · Score: 1

    opposite direction that GTA did insofar as raciness

    Ok, this is definitely tongue in cheek, but game does have it's evil side. It has drive by killing, war, cannibalism, mass genocide, planet destruction, mutilation, and even *gasp* sex..

    In the video, the creatures find each other with mating calls and then get it on to funky 80's romance muzak. Now design your creature to look like an anatomically correct human and 'teach' it human-like mating behaviors. (You've got to admit that now that I've mentioned it, anatomical correctness is the very first thing that's going to occur to you as you design the lil guy.) Now your content gets uploaded to the server and as everyone asynchronously downloads it they'll end up involuntarily watching your sordid little sex sim in much higher detail than the hidden / rate M for mature / ridiculously overstated by polititians / pixelated hot coffee mod.

  5. Re:Another Samsung fan on The Latest iPod Assassination Attempt · · Score: 1

    It's wifey's kitchen

    Oddly, my friend divorced her husband last year for almost that exact sentiment.

  6. Re:MMO effect? on February Game Sales Flop · · Score: 1

    Well, game sales should pick up soon since users in China--they have 500,000 there--are threatening a mass protest.

  7. Re:How Tesla can still make electricity on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but a quick Google Groups search found a post that preceded yours. However, as consolation, I think the South Park writers (Scott and Trey Parker) read your post as they recently ran an entire episode about bigotry against red heads - gingers.

  8. Re:Advantage of knocking/microphone on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that it would be fairly easy to perform a DOS attack by just adding a small microphone/speaker/knocker combo on the frame and then emitting one short knock whenever the owner's knocking is detected.

  9. JotSpot Tracker? on VisiCalc Creator Developing WikiCalc · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This sounds pretty similar to JotSpot Tracker.

  10. Re:Dvorak: wrong, again. on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    Try Standalone QuickTime on your next install.

  11. Re:Here is a question on U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder · · Score: 1

    Actually the word "Caucasian" comes directly from studies of eugenics at the turn of the century and I consider using it just as offensive...

    I find this word offensive as well and request that you replace all instances of it in future postings with 'the "c"-word'.

  12. Re:Nothing to celebrate on Google News Leaves Beta · · Score: 1

    Well I couldn't find the yachts owned by the Google CEO, but the man most famous for his boats that I know of is Roman Abramovich (owner of Chelsea FC) and his boats cost nearly $400,000 US to fill up. Last summer, a boatyard filled up one of his yachts with several hundred thousand dollars of the wrong type of fuel resulting in cleanup costing "at least a million pounds".

  13. Re:Show Opportunity Costs on Slashback: GPLv3, Firefly, iTunes · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not sure that you can map Amazon DVD sales rankings to any actual dollar amount, but Fireflyfans.net has tracked daily chart positions for the Firefly box-set and Serenity and both have been selling very well compared to movies with much better box office earnings.

  14. Re:Pennies must go! on Earth's Copper Supply Inadequate For Development? · · Score: 1

    They did make them the same size, mass and conductivity.

  15. Re:Yes, there are other than 3x3 rubiks on New Rubik's Cube World Record Set · · Score: 1

    How about solving the 20x20 cube, like this guy?

  16. Re:Moon Landing Problem... on The Mythbusters Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Well, you can prove that at least one thing was left behind by bouncing a laser off the reflector array deployed by Apollo 11. Don't bother trying it with your laser pointer though.

  17. Re:It is a sad thing... on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 2, Informative

    Jayne!
    The Man they call Jayne!

    Oh, He robbed from the rich
    and he gave to the poor.
    Stood up to the man

    Our love for him now
    ain't hard to explain.

  18. Re:Using it now.. on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    Tab Mix Plus has those tab features and many more but is still very stable. My favorite is the simple 'unread tabs show red text' feature. You may also like the option to display a close X button just on the current tab. I'm not sure if it's 1.5 compatible, but it's definitely worth a try.

  19. Re:Wow, a general purpose operating system! on Air Guitar That Actually Plays! · · Score: 1

    I think Slashdot beats Digg on this one. Digg didn't really even have it first since it never showed up on the home page or on any of the section home pages. It only appeared on the raw diggall area that is flooded with so much stuff that it would have been nearly impossible to have caught this. When it did appear on that page, it showed up four times with ok summaries, but with no interesting commentary at all. Slashdot can also do TWO links, shocking but true, so they were able to link both to the actual site and to the NewScientist writeup.

    one two three four

    I still don't understand why neither site has a 'this link has previously been posted' message when potential dupes are posted.

  20. Re:Can AJAX finally bring us "push technology" on Ajax in Action · · Score: 1

    Both of these do exactly that:

    From MS: http://www.start.com/

  21. Re:FA Porsche (not Porsche) vs Lego... on The Lego Brick Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    I personally find the LaCie fairly plain compared to the Monster Drive.

  22. Re:Not lego sized, just lego shaped on The Lego Brick Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Couldn't this just be because the crumple of the car absorbed a huge amount of the energy? Wouldn't the G force at the bumper be much higher?

  23. Re:resistant popups on How Text Ads Tamed Ads on the Wild, Wild Web · · Score: 1

    FlashBlock is the solution! In their own words, Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.

  24. Re:They're not alone on Requiem for Usenet · · Score: 1

    Just FYI, they upped it to 2GB a few months ago and stopped counting headers against the quota.
