  1. Re:What? on 500 EURO reward for finding car by finding laptop · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Look at the date... :)

  2. Re:PC in an Xbox? on PC In An XP Box · · Score: 0

    Dammit.. NEED MORE COFFEE

  3. PC in an Xbox? on PC In An XP Box · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I thought an xbox WAS just a pc in a box.... or am I missing something here..

  4. Re:On a more serious note, this extension is GREAT on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 1

    Yeah I just noticed that... well.. the actual preferences section and most config options will be different to IE, but I guess I'll just stop reading slashdot and go get some coffee.

  5. Re:On a more serious note, this extension is GREAT on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This all works well until you get a tech support query, and ask them what browser they are using. They say IE, you say, "ok, go to tools -> options" and everything goes quiet as they can't find that menu option.

  6. Browser formally know as... on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 4, Funny

    All this "The browser formally known as..." stuff.
    I'm going to call my firefox "Prince" :)

  7. Next step for microsoft on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Get Firefox
    2. Change name to Internet Explorer
    3. apply IE theme
    4. Release as Internet explorer 7
    5. Profi... oh ..wait... ;)

  8. ICQ.. on Microsoft Eyeing AOL? · · Score: 1

    Well. thats one more instant messaging protocol off the list.

    Not to sure about the netscape stuff being affected... its just a useless portal now, and iirc AOL let the mozilla coders go a while back, hence the mozilla foundation.

  9. Needs more testing... on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 3, Funny

    maybe the folks over at SCO could help test this theory... they're all a bunch of tossers ;) ...I'll get my coat..

  10. Re:Dupe. Even warned Timothy. on How The CIA Duped The Soviets' Line X Network · · Score: 5, Funny

    obligatory "you must be new here" line....

  11. In other news.... on Thief 3 Website Goes Live · · Score: 5, Funny

    Go slashdot..

  13. freedesktop? on XFree86 4.4: List of Rejecting Distributors Grows · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Looks like KeithP's freedesktop.org xserver is looking more attractive all the time..

  14. fuck you slashdot on Linux Duracell CPU Load Monitor · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    you and your pedantic fucking submission cunts

    Welp.. happy birthday to me. happy -1 offtopic to me... but I have karma to spare.

  15. Re:Moderation? on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then that would be silly.. Surely posting this story is one of the better ways to alert thousands of geeks that they need to patch their servers / machines to fix a critical flaw.

  16. Windows NT / 2000? on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hang on.. If windows NT / 2000 are affected.. looks like M$ have been sitting on it for a _lot_ longer than 6 months.
    On the other hand, if they didn't know about it, I wonder how many systems could have been compromised. When was windows NT released again ?

  17. Re:Pfft... on Napster Business Model Not Generating Revenue · · Score: 1

    Afraid not.... lawsuits and IP are the new business model.

    Oh and patents too.. don't forget those..

  18. Blog? on Dell's New Linux Blog · · Score: 2

    Looks like the blog is little more than a news feed for new software releases. I doubt they would be able to post any significant stuff about where / how linux is being used within Dell.

  19. Thinkgeek Tshirt! on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    What could be better than an "I love my geek" tshirt ?

    Why does the film Legally Blonde seem ironic here? :)

    Ok, Darl's not blonde, but with a bit of work....

  22. Re:No joke on SCO Offline · · Score: 1

    Umm.. no.. it was sarcasm.. in relation to this eweek article which decided to take this comment on slashdot out of context.

    Oops. Make that eweek articles

  25. Cost ? on NASA to Reconsider Hubble Decision · · Score: 3, Insightful

    With the cost of sending things to mars, and George bush all in "I'm happy spending truckloads of money" mood, I'm sure a few million $ to spend on keeping hubble operational could be found.

    Hell, if they turn it round to face us, they could use to to find terrorists and stick it on the war against terror budget ;)
