  1. Re:3.5 vs. 4.0 on Comparing Linux C and C++ Compilers · · Score: 1

    That would be 2.x.c where x is odd. Just like before 2.0.

  2. Re:No Fair! on 3D Chocolate Printer Made from Legos? · · Score: 1

    My complaint is that it seems to be very slow. I can't believe it is a cache link. If it wasn't a cache, at least I wouldn't have got my hopes up.

  3. Re:The fish on General Solution for Polynomial Equations? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is there a math-to-English translator for those of the Slashdot community that can't understand the PDF? Theoretically, I should be able to read it -- I have a degree in mathematics -- but we aren't all so lucky.

  4. Re:Going to happen on They Killed Ken! · · Score: 1

    Right, but now you know that he will keep winning for several more weeks. It is inevitable that when one becomes as successful as Mr. Jennings, people begin to root for the underdog. Now they know that the underdog won't win for several more weeks. Kinda takes the excitement out of it.

  5. Re:lucky on New Google Toolbar Brings Browse By Name · · Score: 1

    Hmm... I'm using Firefox 0.9.3 and when I typed "New York Times" in the URL bar, I got an error window which said "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." I'm using the Windows version -- does that matter?

  6. Re:[OT] Two years no mod points? on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 1

    Yes, I do metamoderate. It doesn't do a thing for me. I've sent an email to the editors and I got no response.

  7. Re:In a perfect world... on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 1

    This might be a good idea if the recommendations that the W3C puts out were actually standards.

  8. Re:california most active/pro OSS ? on Microsoft faces Monopoly Lawsuit (again) · · Score: 1

    In my opinion, Californians just seem to be more litigious in general.

  9. Re:google..... on Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I said nothing of IQ. I referred only to dumbness. Besides, my only point was that dumbness has a normal distribution, so roughly half the people would be below the average. I don't care how easy it is to measure that.

  10. Re:SUVs on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 0

    Driving 80 mph "as the crow flies" would cause me to use less gas and get to work 5 minutes faster with less congestion of the single lane onramp to I-87

    Yeah, until you run into congestion in the air. Traffic is traffic, no matter where it is.

  11. Re:Smaller Planets? on 4-inch Telescope Finds New Planet · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the joke.

  12. Re:google..... on Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would expect dumbness to have something closer to a normal distribution. In that case, roughly 50% of the population would be dumber than the average. Is there a reference for the distribution of dumbness?

  13. Re:Hello, vaporware! on Microsoft Renovates Office Suite as a Web Service · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's also quite possible for others to extend Office functionality to integrate with a document management system. We do it, as I'm sure many, many others do.

  14. Improved colour scheme on Microsoft Renovates Office Suite as a Web Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    This link gets rid of the awful colour.

  15. Re:Funny... on Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List · · Score: 1

    It's a new twist on security. If there aren't any ordinary citizens on the flight then there isn't any danger.

  16. Re:What's the use of this stuff ? on Biometrics at the Statue of Liberty · · Score: 1

    As a full metal construction and 18th century quality work it's hard to blow up with convention explosives. A mini H-bomb might do the trick however.

    Ahem. That should be 19th century. Wikipedia entry

  17. Re:XP Starter is the shiznit, kids! on More Details on Cut-Rate Windows OS For Asia · · Score: 1, Insightful

    While it is not cooler than OSS stuff, it is certainly cooler than pirate software. Software piracy is not cool; that's why you should use free software.

  18. Re:Most financial institutions already do on Mandelbrot Suggests A Hunt For Financial Patterns · · Score: 2, Funny

    However while most people agree that past performance is indicative of the future nothing can predict what is going to happen.

    If most people agree to that, then how come almost every prospectus contains the boilerplate "Past performance is not indicative of future results"?

  19. Great on Doom 3 Web Site Now Operational · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I know I speak for the gaming world when I say "woo.".

  20. Re:Png: A Flash Killer? on GIF Slips Away From Unisys; Your Move, IBM · · Score: 2, Funny

    Forget Lynx; use Telnet instead. If the content is not readable it's probably not worth it anyway.

    I want to see the first person selling Anti-Virus for a refridgerator or reciever.

    I would be happy with antibacteria for the fridge. I'd never have to worry about those "mystery" packages ever again.
