  1. Re:Did they actually use all $10K? on World of Goo Ported To Linux · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find most libertarians don't oppose unions. What they do oppose are government-provided special rules for unions (strikes being 'legal', for example).

  2. Re:Engineers are bad spellers on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    Or even Georgia Tech.

  3. Re:Translating now... hold on.... on Stanford Accelerator Uncovers Archimedes' Text · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Archimedes was Greek. Duh.

  4. Re:single button for emergencies..... on Just a Phone? · · Score: 1

    I heard an anecdote a while back that 80% of emergency calls here in the UK are accidental calls on a mobile. Since most mobiles allow calls to the emergency services when the keypad is locked, this wouldn't surprise me at all.

  5. Re:We're looking at the wrong browser... on The History of Mozilla Firefox · · Score: 1

    Yes, and we all know how well that works.

  6. Re:Don't count on it on CSS Support IE 7.0's Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    You might mean this.

  7. Re:Maybe it will help improve wictionary on Google Goes to Answers.com · · Score: 1

    The one with 'the audiences mind' and 'extensivley' spelt correctly (or not at all).

  8. Re:Many adverts don't display correctly on firefox on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 1

    I don't think many people will care very much here; users are pretty intolerant when websites don't work well in their browsers anyway; they are hardly going to go out of the way to get ads working. Use of Flash, DHTML and the like is going to make ensuring cross-platform compatability even harder.

    If you really really want to show ads, at least find a simple cross-browser cross-platforms way to do it that isn't irritating so visitors won't feel tempted to block them.

  9. Re:" 20 to 30 organisations worldwide..." on SCO Sells First Linux Licenses in UK · · Score: 1

    Microsoft United Kingdom

    When will you Americans learn England != UK ?

    (PS I leave in England, not Scotland)

  10. Re:The continuing rise of China. on Chinese Team Heading for Coldest Spot on Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What do you mean 'sorting out their political issues'? I think most Chinese are perfectly happy with the status quo. The US is not exactly a paragon of virtue here either - see recent elections.

  11. Re:I'm not suprised, because I have a clue on Global Air Pollution, From Above · · Score: 1

    You know, I was agreeing with you until the last sentence.

    Spain?
    Northern Ireland?

    Don't fall for the current USA world propaganda message and confuddle war and terrorism.

  12. Re:Now how about fixing slashdot? on 1 Million Firefoxes in 4 Days · · Score: 1

    The Firefox Web Developer Extension works great for this, use the Validate Local HTML command.

  13. Re:Well, not nitpicking on Spam Turns 100, By One Reckoning · · Score: 1

    It's called sarcasm.

  14. Re:woohoo.. on British Schoolkids Get Copyright Education · · Score: 1

    Hey, it's the fault of you guys that sometimes they don't spell it that way!

    But seriously, this idea is a disgrace and those responsible for trying to pervert our education system in this way should hang their heads in shame.

  15. Re:PowerPoint? He's kidding, right? on Jakob Nielsen Interview on Web Site Redesigns · · Score: 1

    Hear hear. What a bunch of baloney. Perhaps he ought to take a look at what Edward Tufte says on the subject:

  16. Re:Screen.... on The Latest And Greatest Console Applications? · · Score: 1

    In fact, you don't have to create a temporary
    ~/.screenrc. You can type those commands directly
    from the screen 'command line' by typing Ctl-A :
    (although the config. file approach might be useful
    if you do this all the time).

  17. Re:Acronyms on Is VOIP Over WLAN DOA? · · Score: 1

    Yes, and maybe you use your RTF over the PNS with
    IDP and RDA compatibility as well.
