    1. Tools > Add-Ons > Get Extensions

    2. Install Nuke Anything

    3. Now move your mouse pointer next to the Gentoo crap, right click and hit "Remove this object".

    (Yes, Firefox.)

  2. Oh come on on Scoble Bites The Hand That Fed Him · · Score: 1

    He's not biting. He cares.

  3. Now that's sound reasoning on British E-Voting Pilots Announced · · Score: 1

    'We need to make sure that people can vote in more convenient ways consistent with a modern lifestyle. [...] More and more people, and particularly young people, are using the internet everyday. We need to see if we can use this to encourage people even more to participate in the democratic process.'

    What a piece of crap.

    More and more people, and particularly young people, are using computer games everyday. Let's make voting a first person shooter game. The last man (m/f) standing gets the vote. We need to see if we can use this to encourage people even more to participate in the democratic process.

  4. Re:When will consumers be able to buy these? on First Look At Final OLPC Design · · Score: 1

    $300 (or less) is the annual income of a billion people on this planet. Suppose your child comes home from school with a present with a market value of your annual income. A whole year of food...

    I'm pretty sure some of these laptops will end up in the western world soon.

  5. Ombudsman didn't get it either on Slashback: Quinn, InfoCards, McKinnon · · Score: 3, Insightful
    "I (and the Globe) have no stake in the debate over Open Source or Windows."
    Mr. Chacon, this is about Open Standards, not Open Source.
  6. Re:Nomenclature... on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: 1
    How long has a webpage that makes a browser crash been called a "Denial Of Service Exploit".
    Off course it should be called a "Denial of Client Exploit".

    That's the only thing it does.

  7. GPL = IP on U.S. to Get New IP Czar · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So will this federal copyright enforcement czar work to enforce the GPL as well?

    Or is US made Free Software not considered "American IP"?

  8. Re:Why NASA? on Slashback: Brainwaves, MPnothin', Telescopy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not to forget mind+R and mind+RW and all the other mind reading standards.

  9. other word for 'steal' on SonicBlue Ordered to Spy on ReplayTV Viewers · · Score: 1
    From the article:

    Attorneys for the studios say they need this information to determine the extent to which the ReplayTV 4000 allows consumers to steal copyrighted movies and television shows.

    As a lot of people have already pointed out 'stealing' copyrighted material (e.g. a movie in digital form) is not the same as 'stealing' a physical object (e.g. a bike). The former bike owner has lost his bike, the movie owner still has his copy of the movie.

    It occurs to me it might be a good idea to introduce a new word other than 'steal' to emphasize this difference.
