  1. Familiar with the English language? on "Revenge of the Nerds" Remake Cancelled · · Score: 3, Informative

    The article says that production was ceased, not cancelled

  2. In the office game, it's all about document format on Apple Making a Spreadsheet? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So Apple better do something with their document formats. That is, make it XML and open-source OR even better, use the OpenOffice document format.

    Then they can slap their famous user interface on it and watch adoption grow. If they go on their own again - with no PC support for the format - fuhged it...

  3. Re:On in the US on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    many commonly used measurements are not in SI but still metric-compatible - for example, the centimetre.

    The value of metric-compatibility is that it is easily convertible to metrics - even in your head

  4. Re:one thing I never get... on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    I'm not getting it - I'm not doubting it

  5. one thing I never get... on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...that enough people buy spam goods to pay for organized crime.

  6. Re:Gmail invite? on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 1

    No, but you know that those who have an account can now invite others.

  7. Re:On in the US on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    yeah, but ein Pfund is not a pound - In Germany, even the Pfund is metric-compatible: It is exactly half a kilo = 500 g
    If you know German, read the whole story here:

    http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfund

  8. Isn't that already decided? on How To Get Googled, By Hook Or By Crook · · Score: 1

    Hasn't http://www.nigritude-ultramarine.com/nigritude-ult ramarine/nigritude-ultramarine.asp already won by virtue of their URL?

  9. Re:I know "heat transfer" sounds dull... on Free MIT Engineering Text For Download · · Score: 1

    This is asking for an "off-topic" mod:

    But, the first time I saw Krusty I always thought that it is really Homer's secret second life which nobody knows about. I was really thinking that in a future episode all of this would be revealed. But after seeing Krusty and Homer several times together, I gave up on that.

  10. Netsky author arrested in Germany... on Phatbot Author Arrested In Germany · · Score: 1

    ...will probably be the headline in another couple of hours - once the Slashdot mods have finished translating the news from German.

  11. no wonder then... on The Controversy of a Potential Hafnium Bomb · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...that most people dislike scientists.

  12. ...get along with each other for three years... on Going Back to the Moon and Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful
    ...even whether a crew could get along with each other for three years...

    Hasn't this been, like, achieved a zillion times before? polar, oceanic, military exploration has seen similar challenges all the time.
  13. Re:RTFA before you mod, please on Update on Playfair · · Score: 1

    So, you reckon the media CEOs will RTFA?

    ...in their eyes this is nothing but a cracker.

  14. Let's face it... on Update on Playfair · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...if Apple did not do this kind of thing, the computer-unsavy media CEOs would panic and shut down itunes. (As if piracy could be stopped that way)

    And portraying a cracker-program as an "open-source effort" is a bit like calling the NRA a grass-roots civil rights campaign.

  15. Re:Just imagine... on Hungarian Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    ...maybe they are referring to Welsh as a first language?

  16. Re:Just imagine... on Hungarian Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    "sounds like something" sounds like an imputation...

    Objection! Your honor!

  17. Re:Just imagine... on Hungarian Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    My argument? I did not make an argument?

  18. Re:Just imagine... on Hungarian Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    Estimated speakers of Cree in US and Canada: 81,000

    Estimated speakers of Swahili: 30,000,000

    Advice to Apple: Forget about Cree

    Advice to Slashdot: If Apple still make the mistake, do not post news entitled "Cree Mac OS X Released"

  19. Re:Just imagine... on Hungarian Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    Well, there is 3 million Welsh and 10 million Hungarians. But the GDP of Wales is 16.4 billion US$ while that of Hungary is 13.4 billion US$.

    I rest my case!

  20. in other news... on Hungarian Mac OS X Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...you can use it for combat videography (?)

  25. What about the rainforest? on Exotic Wood Computer Cases · · Score: 1

    The mining of bauxite, the raw material for aluminimum, destroys rain forests all over the world. Please stop veneering exotic wood onto alumium and start building whole computer cases from Teak, Mahogany, etc.
