  1. Cell phone browser sites? on Corporate Websites and the Lack of Accessibility · · Score: 1

    Although I found a list of some browsers, I did not find a page which describes behavior of various cell phone browsers. Anyone notice such a page?

  2. You do the math on Corel to Buy Inprise/Borland · · Score: 1

    The new company will be called Corel, but I think that the name you were concerned about would be Corel-Inprise/Borland. (Mathematical result left as an exercise for the reader)

  3. Borland, famous Linux company on Corel to Buy Inprise/Borland · · Score: 2

    The Reuters story says "Inprise/Borland sells development tools for Linux." As if those companies only had a history of Linux products. How amusing.

  4. i.e., Microsoftism on The Second Generation Internet · · Score: 3
    "... fulfilled the early hackers? insistence ..."
    How ironic that an article which refers to Microsoftism there is a Microsoft proprietary character.
  5. Re:...and if problems are related... on NASA Gets Smart · · Score: 2
    Oh, it's a modification of an existing device. I was wondering how it was developed so quickly.

    I like the thought that NASA might go ahead and toss their unit up anyway. It would be nice to have backup services in place.

  6. Dress Code! on EFF Fundraiser in Boston · · Score: 1

    Okay, so there is a Dress Code. Just work on making this code be usable also.

  7. Re:Don't display your ignorance. Was Re:Plastics on Advances in Artificial Muscles Using Plastic · · Score: 2
    "Do you use a magnet to talk?"

    Gee, I'd like to hear speakers that really sing.

  8. MS for President! on Survey Says 63% of Americans Like MS the Way It Is · · Score: 1
    Due to Microsoft getting preferred by over 15% of registered voters in a recent poll, Microsoft will participate in the next round of Presidential debates.

    Although Microsoft is a native-born American citizen, it is younger than 35 years old and if elected it will be unable to serve. Its Regent, Bill Gates, is expected to act on its behalf until it becomes legal President.

  9. Confirmed Criminal on Survey Says 63% of Americans Like MS the Way It Is · · Score: 1
  10. Re:How the questions are posed makes a difference on Survey Says 63% of Americans Like MS the Way It Is · · Score: 1

    But the profit possibilities in a well-run monopoly are so large...

  11. MS-Monolith on Survey Says 63% of Americans Like MS the Way It Is · · Score: 2

    Well, how about the barriers against entry which Microsoft created? MS used secret OS calls in its own spreadsheet, creating barriers for other spreadsheets. MS altered MS-Windows to complain about DR-DOS, creating a barrier against using DR-DOS. MS repeatedly alters file formats, creating barriers for compatible applications (even barriers for past customers, forcing them to update and buy new versions).

  12. Re:Um.... on Pattern Hatching: Design Patterns Applied · · Score: 1

    Must just be /. trying to increase its hits. :-)

  13. on Pattern Hatching: Design Patterns Applied · · Score: 2

    I should look in the current SlashCode and fix something myself. Sometimes there isn't time for all trivial reported problems to be fixed.

  14. Re:How do you read the "mirage" on IBM Demos Atomic-Scale Circuitry · · Score: 1

    Now I want an elliptical pool...

  15. Re:GPL? on Artificial Intelligence IRC Bots? · · Score: 1

    I believe they're all corporate. Define "people".

  16. /. -> VA on Live from LinuxWorld until 4 p.m. · · Score: 1

    Are you referring to /. -> Andover -> VA sale?

  17. /. -> VA on Live from LinuxWorld until 4 p.m. · · Score: 1

    Are you referring to /. -> VA sale?

  18. Re:I saw it on MECC... on Artificial Intelligence IRC Bots? · · Score: 2

    History repeats itself. Sometimes with more colors and detail.

  19. Re:GPL? on Artificial Intelligence IRC Bots? · · Score: 2

    Okay, so is there a team yet for the three people Andover, Red Hat, and VA?

  20. Re:But Linux doesn't boost stock world... on Torvalds: Business World Boosts Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe there haven't been articles about it because a popular IPO is expected to drop in price after the initial interest. And you can't seriously measure stock "performance" in less than a year. Go back to the articles which appeared when the stocks were coming out and read them again and you'll see all that was mentioned.

  21. Re:Linux on CERT Advisory On Malicious HTML Tags · · Score: 2

    Oh, it's a fake article. We geezers can tell. Some text vandal with nothing better to do.

  22. 1988 Best Abuse Of The Rules on Obfuscated C Code Contest Begins · · Score: 5
    My favorite "Best Abuse Of the Rules" winner has always been spinellis.c

    In full:

    #include "/dev/tty"
  23. Hiding CDE launch bar? on Death of CDE & Motif? · · Score: 2

    Okay, having a launch bar/dock/wharf is nice. Is there a way to ask CDE to hide the launch bar until I want it? My screen real estate is valuable.

  24. Re:a NO WIN situation on Replacing SAT with LEGOs · · Score: 1

    Okay, so you're too good for your own good. ;-)

  25. Re:Bet Hemos would have been rejected on Replacing SAT with LEGOs · · Score: 1

    Can I just set my Mindstorms construction robot on the table and let my Lego robot build a Lego robot?
