  1. Re:I'm just waiting for this headline: on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Why, eye candy of course. That's what every new Windows release requires.

  2. One can already use Yahoo in the FF search field on Yahoo! Releases Firefox version of Toolbar · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can download more search engines for the FF search field, but Yahoo is installed by default. For instance, I regularly switch from Google to Amazon and Wikipedia. I also have a German dictionary installed.

    However, I think it's good that Yahoo is making a FF toolbar. It's just a sign of Firefox's acceptance in the market--that's a good thing.

  3. Re:One major thing missing from this story... on Google Fires Blogger? · · Score: 1

    He took down the blogs in question--rightly so.

  4. Re:Sony's greed = bullet-holed foot on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1
    Then they announced I'd pretty much have to buy the shit I already own on their proprietary bullshit UMD format.

    Who says you
    • have to? No one's forcing you.


    • And being a portable gaming system, surely you didn't expect to be able to pop in your regular DVDs without problems. They make portable DVD players for that--those things aren't exactly handheld either.
  5. Mistake made iPod #1 on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1

    As the head of SCE, damn right he thinks letting the iPod become number 1 is a mistake. That's what happens when you have a conglomerate.

    IMO, Sony is the only other company that can topple the iPod because it has the money to design stylish electronics.

  6. Second duplicate article in 24 hrs on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Must be a record! (The other was regarding the Cell)

  7. Re:Unlikely on Mac mini All About Movies? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Video is very cycle intensive. Look at the amd and intel benchmarks for video. Intel always wins because their clockspeed is faster. The 1.25 ghz mac mini isnt going to cut it.

    Hey, I watch video just fine on my lowly 850 MHz computer with 384 MB RAM. All codecs. (Usually the only problems I run into is WMP requiring 11ty billion MB of RAM just to run) I'm sure the 1.25 GHz Mac Mini will have no problems. Needs more RAM though.

  8. Athletes are different on Defining Google · · Score: 1

    Teams usually don't hire athletes for their ability to work well in a team. Look at the Lakers.

  9. My computer is not fast enough to run Mozilla on Mozilla 1.7.5 Released · · Score: 1

    It has been my 'default' browser off and on since 0.7, but speed/memory is something I always hated about Mozilla.

    When FF came out, it was just faster in every department and my computer had no problems running it. With the built-in Google search, I didn't have ot download Google search bar extension.

  10. European dates aren't much better on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    Same here. I write my dates YYYY-MM-DD. It just makes much more sense.

    I also hate when countries use DD-MM-YYYY. This makes absolutely no sense. It's like sorting people by first names.

  11. Re:GM is "hidden" elsewhere on Hong Kong's High-Tech Technology Incubator · · Score: 1
    Bought up, and eventually controlled. They're not the owner in name only. Everything still has to be approved by GM. Many of the different European brands share platforms with American models. The new Chevy Aveo is a rebadge Daewoo. The new Pontiac GTO is a rebadged Holden Monaro.

    The Hotmail example is a bad one, as MS eventually took over Hotmail development. So they in fact, did own and control Hotmail.

  12. It should be managers on Filesystem Problems with the Treo 650s · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They ultimately approve the specifications, so they're responsible for why the filesystem is the way it is.

  13. Re:Misleading on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 1

    IE is free. You can download it for free off of MS's site. More baseless rants against MS.

  14. Re:I've owned 3 and they aren't all they are hyped on Sharp Plans To Pull Zaurus From U.S. Market · · Score: 1

    I used my Handspring for like a month and never picked it up again. As a planner, it wasn't better than paper. And I found myself missing all the cool/fun features found in PocketPC devices like MP3/AVI playback, and Word and Excel compatibility.

  15. Re:Science Channels are good on Science Television: Does Joe Public Care? · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Think of a "How things work" channel!

  16. History Channel and FoodTV are very popular on Science Television: Does Joe Public Care? · · Score: 1

    I see a Science channel working along these lines. As long as the programming is interesting (instead of dry facts reminiscent of old science projector films). They have to somehow create popular appeal, while still retaining some hardcore science programs. Like history, science *is* interesting. In fact, some of the programs would probably report on feuds and drama in the history of science.

  17. Re:Do what us Australians did... on U.S. Offers $50 Download · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Hard to copy, easy to verify fakes, and feels like paper... Plastic notes is the future! If the US was REALLY serious, the next generation of notes (after these 'fancy' colored ones) should be plastic.

    I wish I was able to mod up the parent. :(

  18. Re:Roxxor on Sony Japan to Abolish Copy Controlled CDs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A lot like gun safety laws. It only stops the law abiding citizens from purchasing guns. Criminals will get their guns regardless--they don't purchase it through the system.

  19. Slashdot ignorance and prejudice on Adobe Releasing New Photo Format · · Score: 1

    This article really highlights the ignorance and prejudice prevalent on Slashdot. Get off your soapbox about patents, file formats, open source, and corporations. RTFA and then comment.

    DNG is a good thing.

  20. Re:What a stupid name on Adobe Releasing New Photo Format · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points, because I'd mod the parent down for such an idiotic petty nit-picking statement.

  21. Re:Why Nokia ain't selling more phones on Nokia Losing its Cell Phone Dominance · · Score: 1

    My Nokia screen died on me pretty much after 1 year. Never dropped it.

  22. CDMA on Nokia Losing its Cell Phone Dominance · · Score: 1

    What Nokia needs to do is make more CDMA phones. Verizon has the ugliest selection of phones ever.

  23. Anyone see the Top Gear episode where Clarkson on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1

    ... drove 800 miles on ONE tank of gas in a twin turbo-charged diesel V8 Audi A8? Fuel economy depends on your driving habits, aerodynamic, and weight of the car.

  24. Re:Definately a bad choice on the part of the devs on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    Yeah,I could never get used to Mozilla's default theme. Qute was a big reason why I stuck with FireFox after switching from IE. Like you said, it's just felt "right." It felt like a native Windows program.

  25. Re:Hip Hop radio station on Mercer Island? on FCC Move Could Shut Down High School Radio Station · · Score: 1

    The best alternative to the crap they play on KUBE and KISS. Too bad reception is horrible outside of Seattle.
