  1. Re:Back to the drawing board. on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1

    We unleashed the Slashdot weapon on the project during its critical testing phase. We're crafty buggers aren't we!

  2. Re:Very cool on Fiber Optics Bring the Sun Indoors · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This will be handy in the cities as well. A common problem with converting old office space to residential uses is the inability to get sufficient sunlight deep into the building. This technology could help alleviate the problem.

  3. Re:Conspiracy! on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 1

    I thought Adam Selene was up to his old tricks again, trying to stop us from finding that damned catapult!

  4. Re:Interesting Review on yellowTAB's Zeta 1.0 Reviewed · · Score: -1, Troll

    So basically, before shipping a 1.0 release to paying customers, the developers didn't bother plugging a camera into a PC.

    Sounds like a hell of a company.

  5. Re:Know is the right word! on Man-Made Fire Blamed for Australian Extinctions · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yep, those evil white settlers have a lot to answer for. Oh wait. What will the lefties cry now?

  6. Re:Oh for God sake on Australia's 'e-tax' Windows Only · · Score: 1

    Do you want to be accountable if a stray piece of code in your software botches everyone's tax return?

  7. Re:Very nice on Star Destroyer Built Before Your Eyes · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's what I thought when they dropped all the bags on the table. I thought they were drugs :(

  10. Re:Wow! on Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The first slashdot post said the governor was considering it. This one says he has.

    Now, Dupe Nazi, how else am I supposed to know he actually signed it, unless there's a follow up article? Guess? Assume?

  11. Re:HELP..... on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    I'm an Adelaidean, and I assure you - I had no idea what the name of the baby was until you said it. In fact, the only time we ever hear a reference to dingos and babies is when someone mentions australia on the internet, and a yank or pom brings it up.

  12. Re:Yes on Solar Power Put to Good Use · · Score: 1

    Don't mind him - he's just too good to read a pesky article.

  13. Re:Huh? on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    This is a reply to a reply that is commenting on a comment about the ad for an ad.

  14. Re:Its been a cold summer down under on NASA Says 2005 Could Be Warmest Year Recorded · · Score: 1

    Yet a couple of years ago Australia was in the middle of one of the worst droughts on record. Melbourne is still under stage 2 water restrictions despite the recent rainfall.

  15. Re:This Article Is Total Crap on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    Maybe the REG planned September 11.

    Does anyone know when ICQ (non beta) will be released?

  17. Re:Difference on GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo · · Score: 4, Funny

    It took you 10 years, and you still can't see Gnome's theme feature.

    Even worse, you're considered informative on slashdot.

    Let's do the timewarp again!

  18. Re:agreed on Alcohol is Good for Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Ironically, I understand every word of what you said.

    Intel have, on the other hand, made critical advances in processor technology, such as CPU's solely comprised of paper.

  24. Re:Woot, another 3D screensaver card on NVIDIA 6200 w/ TurboCache Released · · Score: 1

    Clueless Salesdroid must be pretty smart to realise that "mom and pop" don't give a rat's arse how well their PC plays games.

    ...and there is only one cure.

    Accutane.
