  1. Re:Spam solutions on Spam from Taiwan · · Score: 1
  2. Diablo "instantly clicked"... on Blizzard's 'Secret Sauce' · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... and clicked ... and clicked ... and clicked ...

  3. Re:Core Duo = Duo Price on Intel's Sales Down, Current Gen of Products Weak · · Score: 1

    What about a Penguin Computing Altus 1300?

  4. ClickTracks and NetTracker on Best website statistics package? · · Score: 1

    ClickTracks has some interesting features geared towards visitor behavior. However, I've only just started using it but I have some doubts about the accuracy of their numbers. It also is missing some of the basic information you would expect from a traditions web stats program.

    I was pretty impressed with our demo of NetTracker but it requires some serious cash if you have a busy site.

  5. Re:Don't forget Magnatune on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 1

    EMusic has been around since 1998. When did Magnatune start selling music online?

  6. Re:Emusic Linux on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 1

    Except then you can only download, I think, three tracks at a time.

  7. Google Earth named best visual design on 2006 Webby Award Winners Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    Last I checked, Google Earth was not a website.

  8. Re:Bit of a double standard on Windows Defense on IE7 Search is No Defense · · Score: 1

    OK, but what exactly are they supposed to do? Make Google the default?

  9. Re:Bill is Back, Productivity Soars on Financials Indicate Microsoft Prepping for War · · Score: 1

    And I'm sure they all have their desktop backgrounds set to one of these:

  10. Re:News to me... on A Mind Map of Linux Distributions · · Score: 2, Informative
  11. Graphical Installer on Ubuntu 6.06 'Dapper Drake' Beta Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It looks like the "new spiffy graphical installation" only works under the LiveCD. Perhaps the Ubuntu folks should work with the Debian folks to finish the gtk frontend for d-i. That way they could have a "real" graphical installer.

  12. Re:DRM is Unnecessary on Google Music Store Inches Closer? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they'll use Sun's proposed Open Source DRM. Sun and Google have worked together before and Sun will need someone like Google to make the format viable. Of course, hardware would help too.

  13. Re:Are we finally into the 'less is better' stage? on Ask.Com's New Look Competes Well With Google · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'd say we are going back to the 'less is better' design. The original AltaVista, for example, was very simple and rather Google like.

  14. Wolfpack? on Wolfpack Studios Closing · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't suppose they are related to the Submarine game from the early nineties? That was a fun game.

  15. Go Ahead... on Microsoft Releases Atlas · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and see if you can count the number of times he says "go ahead" in that video.

    Actually it was pretty interesting to watch the video in comparison to all the "20 Minute Wiki" style videos that RoR has made so popular.

  16. Re:Doesn't have a what?... on Ubuntu, Macintosh and Windows XP · · Score: 1

    KDE apps have built-in support for printing to PDF. Just select it from the printers list. You can also create a PDF generating "printer" with the cups-pdf package which Debian, at least, has available.

  17. Re:Version Cue on Graphical File Revision Control for Non-Techies? · · Score: 1

    The second submitter, bmcent1, mentions Photoshop.

  18. Re:The name on Top 5 Reasons People Dismiss PostgreSQL · · Score: 1

    Then again, the P in LAMP has always been about the scripting language, not the database.

    Yesterday I was watching Jeff Waugh's presentation at FOSDEM. It was pretty interesting and included his take on LAMP:

    -L-inux
    -A-pache
    -M-ost of our scripting languages start with P
    -P-ostgreSQL

  19. So, basically this study says... on OSDL CEO Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 0, Troll

    People who use Linux, like it. Or probably more accurately, people who like Linux, use it.

    Yeah, that's real informative.

  20. Re:Huge error on OSDL CEO Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1

    "Apache on Windows is not recommended by Apache for a production web server"

    Do you have anything to back up that claim? Apache 2.0 was designed from the ground up to support Windows.

  21. Re:So I'll be the first to say it.... on Firefox Memory Leak is a Feature · · Score: 1

    It is not saving the html, it is saving the rendered DOM which is probably larger. You also have to include images and any other external objects.

  22. Re:"hopefully"? on Songbird Flies Today · · Score: 1

    Refer to the sentence before it: "it is still only a Windows release".

  23. Why the Name? on Microsoft Won't Offer Patch Before Worm Strikes? · · Score: 1

    What's the history behind the name?

  24. Re:Picture Quality on Book Excerpts: OOo Draw Documents with Imagination · · Score: 1

    Do any browsers handle resizing more gracefully?

    Well, certainly not IE. I don't know about any others. Firefox is moving to Cairo for graphics rendering which will allow better image scaling, amoung other things.

    Argh, one of my biggest web pet-peeves.

    The other probably being sites that require 'www'.
