  1. STUNNED! on KDE Running on Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For those that don't know, KDE is a graphical desktop environment used to access your computer's files. Finally, Mac users have a free (as in speech) approach to their filesystem.

    Is this an all-time low for a slashdot article? I can't imagine how it can be beaten.

  2. Thanks a bundle! on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, and for those of us using "Light" slashdot version (it's in "Preferences" - white background etc, _much_ easier to read IMHO) now it looks like a buttload of shit. $(SUBJ). Will it be fixed?

  3. They are right on Authors Guild Sues Google Over Print Program · · Score: 0, Troll

    I tend to agree that it may be a "massive copyright infringement". As opposed to burning of the said books, for example.

  4. Re:One question: on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Oh, don't tell me that Mozilla is so pure about it. They even have now document.all['..'] in quirks mode (IIRC).

  5. Why not. on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    I'd use Opera instead of FF (I guess) if it had better ads blocking options. Maybe now, that they removed their own banners, including some ad-blocking options would not look hypocritical anymore.

  6. Re:so... on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    With what other web development platforms do you have extensive experience?

  7. Re:Queue Apple Apologists in 3... 2... on Apple Fails Due Diligence in Trade Secret Case · · Score: 1

    Hmm, care to name then _one_ (successful) company worth rooting for?

  8. Do you remember? on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    Do you remember that Hitachi flash movie? "I'm just a tinyyy little bit!....". Somehow I did when reading this. Strangely appropriate, huh?

  9. Re:This is important on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 1

    Amen. Posted by AC but surely deserves +5.

  10. A sledgehammer on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the sledgehammer!!

  11. Re:In further news... on Logitech Unveils Smart Mouse · · Score: 1

    Better yet - a flip case mouse with dual color screens and polyphonic tones! And a camera.

  12. Re:Mostly pointless. on Logitech Unveils Smart Mouse · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hmm, not so if you learn to leave a proper loop (of cord) in front of your mouse. Yes, it is a habit about as hard to learn as lifting and moving your mouse when you run out of desk surface.

  13. Excuse me on Itanium Will Only Be Partly Supported by Longhorn · · Score: 1

    "On the positive side, Microsoft does see a future for the chip..."

    Sorry, what's positive about that? I guess 99.9% of slashdotters could not care less.

  14. Re:Clearly Nessisary on Libraries Use DRM to Expire Audiobooks · · Score: 1

    Have to say sorry to other /. readers - I've spent unproportionaly large time span reading this comment and wondering what mods smoke. I mean - sorry, because while I was reading it you poor fellas were blocked from reading it and waiting in the queue, right?

  15. Re:Ummm on More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Excuse me while I bang my head on the desk... Should _everything_ mention Linux??? WTF - every card you can stick into your PCI, USB (and I guess AGP) slot you can equally well stick into your Mac. And I think they would have drivers for Mac _ready_ then. At least for mediumly popular hardware. I know that many driver disks I've seen had Mac drivers. Or PPC Mac drivers won't work on Intel Macs?

    PS: While you are at it - please port ReiserFS to Mac/BSD/NT. I know that it'd be hard.

  16. Re:Japan has unique opportunity on Japan to Deploy Massive Broadband Satellite · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually it's several islands and it's not that "compact". Its area is close to California and a tad larger than Germany. Unlike California though it does not have large forest/desert areas and unlike Germany it is more stretched (North to South). I don't think low-orbit satelites would work.

  17. Re:Japanese in space? on Japan to Deploy Massive Broadband Satellite · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yes, I heard they have already scheduled deathtronauts' spacewalk to cut dangling rags from the beam focus. Let's also hope two missing tiles from it won't lead to spectacular self-destroy salvo.

  18. Missing link on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    Any screenshots?

  19. Re:who gives a shit on $20 Cellphones Possible with TI's New Chip · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why unplug? Just turn off the ringer. There should be a little switch on the side/botttom of every phone manufactured lately (last 30 years or so).

  20. Re:Next article.... on A Buyer's Guide to Inkjet Printers · · Score: 1

    Low-level Canon pixma's still use BCI24 cartridges. IIRC, blacks sell @ around $5-$6 (but they run out rather quickly, prolly around 60-100 full-text A4/Letter pages), colours (combined) are @ around $12 and I'm sure I get no less than 100 4x6" prints from one (which is quite good IMO). These are genuine built-in-Japan Canon cartridges. Maybe not quite dirt cheap for a plastic box with ink(s) but compared to competition pretty reasonably priced.

  21. WTF?! on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Bend over Zonk and give MS some hot male love. Can you imagine a more flamebait provoking "article"? And why the "Apple" section?

  22. Re:Bluetooth... on Review of Apple's "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    BT/radio mice require batteries, though. And you don't want your mouse to run out of charge when gaming online or when working on a crunch.

  23. Re:Holy moly... on More New Details on NASA's CEV Launcher Studies · · Score: 1

    I'll give you an idea (heck, moderation is broken anyway, so what the fuck):

    - Figure out the URL for comments submission form.
    - Wait till a new story comes up. When it does it usually has a "Nothing to see..." page. Note the SID and edit the submission URL.
    - _Paste_ your junk into textarea.
    - Slowly count to 20. Submit.

    Not sure if it works now, but I faintly recall that it did.

  24. [OT] I say it without fearing to be modded down. on Teaching Computers to See with Games · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Fix the damn moderation system!
    No posts at 4+ for a long long time.
    I am not gonna read /. without mod points at low thresholds.

  25. Only $49? on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    Well - for a piece of Apple hardware that seems to be reasonably hi-tec (heck, the whole mouse is just one large erogenous zone apparently) - I wonder how reliable/sensitive/durable is that thing. Less interesting Logitech mice cost more.
