  1. What??? on Firefox Advises Users To Disable McAfee Plugin · · Score: 3, Funny

    A McAfee product which causes more problems than it solves?

    I think you just destroyed my faith in the universe. ;)

  2. Re:fuck firefox on Firefox 8.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    But, it's got electrolytes!!! ;)

  3. Re:Shotgun on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Shotgun on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    If they can restore data from glass platters which have been shattered into a million pieces after dropping the drive from the 12th floor they're more than worth their money.

  5. Re:browser.urlbar.trimURLs on Mozilla Foundation Releases Firefox 7 · · Score: 1

    Thanks. Almost forgot about that one.

  6. What happened? on Mozilla Foundation Releases Firefox 7 · · Score: 2

    I checked the developer summary earlier today and this new version actually contains some useful features for a change!!!

  7. Re:They need to... on Drunken Parrot Season Starts in Australia · · Score: 1

    In my case it's this scene from an old documentary/comedy:

  8. Re:inevitable on Mysql.com Hacked, Made To Serve Malware · · Score: 1

    It was really just a matter of time before Oracle started trying to force MySQL users to move to their expensive proprietary solutions.

    The one where you need to add additional objects to the database just to auto-increment a fucking primary key?

  9. So? on Microsoft Previews Compiler-as-a-Service Software · · Score: 0

    And the next step will be a cloud-based compiler so Microsoft can automatically check whether your code infringey on any of their patents???

  10. Re:This is cool on Windows 8 Roundup · · Score: 1

    Apples and oranges.
    Win2k on the NT branch, before they combined both product lines.

  11. Re:This is cool on Windows 8 Roundup · · Score: 1

    Seems they're on an alternating pattern
    95 -> 98 -> 98SE -> Me ->XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 ->

    For some reason every even product doesn't seem to be worth shit. Guess that mean Windows 9 will be usable again.

  12. Someone in Redmond realized that a server doesn't necessarily need a GUI???

  13. Re:Which aspect ratio? on HD Transfer of Star Trek: TNG To Arrive This Year · · Score: 1

    The effects sequences would need to be recomposited anyway, since cutting and post work was done on video instead of film.

  14. Re:Just what they want you to believe on NASA's Twin GRAIL Craft On Their Way To the Moon · · Score: 1

    There never were any moon landings.

    Proof: Not a single Apollo mission brought back any cheese!

  15. Re:It is about programming on What Is the Most Influential Programming Book? · · Score: 1

    A kingdom for some mod points!!!!

  16. Re:x86 running out of steam? on Intel and AMD May Both Delay Next-Generation CPUs · · Score: 1

    We're simply looking at an increasing gap in the demand for CPU power.

    For most people (documents, spreadsheets, email, browsing) an i5 is more than powerful enough to satisfy the current demand.
    OTOH there are specialized areas (visual effects, simulation,...) where even the current top-of-the-line models of Sandy Bridge Xeons reach their limit way too easily.

  17. Deja Moo on Android Tricorder Killed By CBS · · Score: 1

    Seems like a repeat performance of the same bullshit Paramount pulled during the 90's when they went after fan websites, pissing on the free advertising those sites represented.

  18. Re:Hilarious waste of Time and $ on GameStop Offers $50 Certificate For Coupon Fiasco · · Score: 1

    That's more of a matter of OnLive's lawyers looking into how they can suea hefty sum out of GameStop. It's not Square's fault that a retailer has caused financial damages by removing those coupons.

  19. Re:Akibahara? on Tribute To Steve Jobs: a 21km Apple Logo in Tokyo · · Score: 1

    Nah, in that case we'd end up with Giko instead of the Apple logo.

  20. Re:Hilarious waste of Time and $ on GameStop Offers $50 Certificate For Coupon Fiasco · · Score: 1

    Don't forget OnLive, who actually benefit from this whole thing.
    - They don't have to honor the $50 vouchers GameStop has thrown away.
    - They get free publicity as a company who decided to give something for free to their potential customers and have been wronged by a competitor.
    - ...

    Their marketing department should send a huge fruits basket to the GameStop HQ to say thanks.

  21. Re:Backyard Space Shuttle.... on Ugandan Seeks To Build Backyard Space Shuttle · · Score: 1

    Calling one of those turds a "car" was mighty generous of them.

  22. Well ... on What If Aliens Came To Save the Galaxy From Mankind? · · Score: 1

    If this ever happens the mice will be really pissed.

  23. Re:If it was anyone other than Ridley Scott on Ridley Scott To Direct New Blade Runner Movie · · Score: 1

    Kill it with fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Re:So much wasted time... on Interview With GNOME 3 Designer Jon McCann · · Score: 2

    On the bright side, Gnome 3 and Unity are some of the best things that could have happened to Xfce, LXDE and other competitors.
