  3. Re:IE7 Text Rendering on IE7 From a Firefox User's Perspective · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, it really is ClearType, and the setting isn't system-wide, it's in IE's "Advanced" options screen.

  7. Re:No, no, no, wrong! Bad headline! on Sprint Rolls out WiMAX Access · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who said headlines had to be truthful? Besides, I can't count the number of times /. headlines made it sound like something has already been done when the summary admits it's "being developed", "in the planning phase", "talked about".

    They do it for the clicks, man.

    Review the Temporal Guide to Slashdot Headline Reading:

    1. Present tense means wait a few years.
    2. Future tense means it'll never happen.
    3. Past tense means SlashBack.

    First comment in a while that actually made me lol. :-)

    Oh sure, and I was just starting to get over it. Yeah, we had our ups and downs but doesn't everyone?! I thought we were going to be together forever! Now, my psychiatrist says I'm well on the road to good mental health again and you bring this up! Christ, it was 5.4 MILLION YEARS AGO...why do you have to keep reminding me?!

    They certainly aren't instilling a lot of confidence in their own code base. Netscape 8 switches to IE rendering when visiting www.netscape.com.

  14. Re:Wow. on Microsoft Releases Changelist for Upcoming XP SP2 · · Score: 0

    This is trollish but has good intentions.

    Who cares? Honestly, if viruses, exploits, worms and spyware did not exist I might actually care about seeing PNG transparency support in IE. From my ISP technical support standpoint, however, this document describes technologies that could reduce our support calls significantly.

    Worms, spyware and BHOs are "all the rage". Of tens of thousands of support calls, I counted...let's see...zero PNG transparency requests.

    I just hope that the changes are as good as the document describes.

    I Sure Do Like Them Cartoonies

    I like a good cartoon, either political such as Doonesbury or IT such as Dilbert, or in this case User Friendly. That?s distinct from an animated short - which is what Yosemite Sam was referring to, of course. I like them as well.

    I picked up a copy of the latest User Friendly collection, Even Grues Get Full, and it was good. I liked it from the title (and I can remember being eaten by a Grue more than 25 years ago in the Collosal Caves) through to some nice barbs at Microsoft.

    Watch out for a full review, but in the meantime I recommend it to all User Friendly fans."

    LOL what the hell.
