  1. Re:Good on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because that's all that Acrobat does.

  2. Re:Retail inventory on Apple Says 250,000 iPhones Sold to Unlockers · · Score: 1

    Items in retailers' inventories don't typically qualify as "sold".

  3. Re:Not a dump truck on United Makes Plans to Drop 'Baggage Neutrality' · · Score: 1

    It was a couple of years ago when I last flew WestJet (Toronto to Calgary), but I had more space on the last turboprop ride I had on Air Canada. Things must have changed.

  4. Re:Not a dump truck on United Makes Plans to Drop 'Baggage Neutrality' · · Score: 1

    The last (and only) time I flew WestJet, I didn't even have enough room in front of me to fully open my laptop. Have they sorted that out yet?

  5. Re:none of the above on eBay The Vote · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, you can just leave your ballot blank.

  6. I want to do what now? on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    "If you're a web designer and not using Vista then this download is mandatory since it will let you see your page as your Vista users see it."

    Now why would I want to do that when the majority of web users are using XP? Besides, if you are designing things properly, you shouldn't care what fonts your users are using.

  7. Re:The writing's on the wall on Google to Offer Online Personal Health Records · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You must be from a parallel universe. Did you not see what AltaVista had become around the time Google arrived? I suppose if you were blocking ads then it was just fine, but be realistic.

  8. Re:And the problem is...? on Admins Accuse Microsoft of Hotmail Cap · · Score: 1

    No no! For once Microsoft is the receiver!

  9. Misleading summary on Time Dimension To Become Space-like · · Score: 1

    The title of the article is: "Is the accelerated expansion evidence of a forthcoming change of signature?". It indicates that a change of signature is certainly a possible explanation, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other explanations.

    That being said, what is the best way to handle the signature change? Should I stand in a doorway or head for the storm cellar?

  10. Who cares? on eBay Sellers Seething Over Targeted Ads · · Score: 1

    I didn't even know that eBay had targeted ads now, but who cares? It's not like people have any other auction site to go to. Sure, sellers can complain that people are sent away by ads, but if the auction is good, the buyers will return.

  11. Re:"One Cent" on Canadian Mint Claims Rights To Words "One Cent" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No.

    Although, as mentioned, the Royal Canadian Mint is a Crown corporation, not a government agency.

  12. Netcraft confirms on Web Creators Call Internet Outdated · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Internet is dead.

    Seriously, there really isn't anything that wrong with the Internet. Sure, it may not work perfectly, but how can you ever expect to connect so many diverse systems together in one unregulated mass and have it work perfectly? If you want a better system, go use Internet2 and leave the rest of us alone.

  13. Re:Meta tags placed? on Best Way to Build a Searchable Document Index? · · Score: 1

    This doesn't sound like an enterprise-scale problem. I work for a large ECM vendor, and unless the IT department that we're talking about is huge, ECM is going to be overkill. Not that that would stop vendors from trying to sell it to you if you have enough money to put on the table.

  14. Re:Something smells fishy on Printing With Enzymes · · Score: 1

    For the explanation, look no further than: "Roland Piquepaille writes..."

  15. A slashdot anniversary party? on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's gotta be about the geekiest thing I've ever heard of.

  16. Re:meta on Quantum Cryptography Slowed by "Dead Times" · · Score: 1

    Why? Who cares if you can exchange keys safely if the cryptosystem is broken?

  17. Re:One Fine Day at ORD on U.S. Airport Screeners Are Watching What You Read · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't tase me, bro!!!

  18. Re:Lost Cause on Mozilla Creates New Internet Mail and Communications Company · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of sarcasm?

  19. Re:Tyranny of the majority on Algorithm Rates Trustworthiness of Wikipedia Pages · · Score: 1

    Maybe the article heading should have said "Algorithm Rates Truthiness of Wikipedia Pages". Isn't that what's happening here?

  20. Re:Does myspace count as blogging? on Survey Shows More Women Blogging Than Men · · Score: 1

    Only if you're 14.

  21. Yeah, sure on RealPlayer 11 Is a Real Rip Contender · · Score: 1

    It's a real rip alright. Just like everything else from Real.

  22. Re:use firefox and adblocker! on How Much Are Ad Servers Slowing the Web? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't that only work if the requests are all made to the same server?

  23. What's next??? on Voltron Headed For The Big Screen · · Score: 4, Funny

    What could possibly follow up a Voltron movie? Thundercats?

  24. Re:Finally, action movies are vindicated on NASA Tests Hydrogen-Fueled BMW · · Score: 1

    At what point did alcohol enter the discussion?

  25. Re:Finally, action movies are vindicated on NASA Tests Hydrogen-Fueled BMW · · Score: 1

    I don't think that there is a serious problem with safely carrying hydrogen in your vehicle. It's already safer than gasoline. Creation and distribution are the big problems.
