  1. Welcome on How Apple's App Review Is Sabotaging the iPhone · · Score: 0

    Now iPhone devs know what it feels like to be in academic research with its system for "peer reviews". :-)

  2. Re:Seems Like A Bad Summary on Apple Admits iPod Is From 1970s UK · · Score: 0

    And you just showed why I still come to Slashdot. It's nothing but the comments these days. I don't read the article OR the summary any longer. I read the headline, see if it something I know something about, click Read more, check the first 10-15 comments on +5, get the story summed up, debunked and a laugh. Then on to another website.

  3. Features, features... on Pidgin 2.0 Released · · Score: 0

    But will it download my ICQ-contacts off the servers, that I added a long time ago with libicq2000 which bypassed the pointless authorization steps, or will I have to bug everyone with requests? (And be bugged by others for that matter.) First thing I look for in an IM-client.

  4. Great? on 22,000 Indiana Students Using Linux Desktops · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And in a flash 22000 Indiana students can't use websites using Flash.

  5. Re:Strange political power on ThePirateBay.org Raided and Shut Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do you really think people accustomed to taking things for free and financing their business with porn ads should handle distribution of your tax money?

  6. So many features... on Apple Announced 17" MacBook Pro · · Score: 1

    ...and still no damn docking port. Did Steve have a bad experience with a docking station as a kid, or what's with the aversion?

  7. Who? on You Say You Want A Revolution? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    PointlessWasteofTime? EliteBastards? Slashdot is really scraping the most obscure parts of the Internet to get news these days...

  8. Easy on King Kong vs. Movie Pirates · · Score: 1

    I didn't read the article, nor the poster's blurb, just the story title, but my money is on King-Kong any day.

  9. Re:Fan-made Video (must see) on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So if I want to run Samus around for an hour or two, I'll have to run/walk around a large empty floor space myself. The Japanese doesn't have the space, the Americans doesn't have the physical shape to endure hours of walking, running, waveing arms around... Bad market choice.

  10. Re:Discount on UK Schools Told to Dump Microsoft · · Score: 3, Informative

    They can go really low. The Swedish government recently got a deal 5-10% below the discount normally given to major customers.

  11. Neat. on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1

    Tres cool. So what are those patches of sand in Central Park anyway?

  12. From the article on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 2

    "Hence, Torvalds said, a patch specific to the x86 platform that he was submitting to the list for consideration was totally untested."

    Linux development process in a nut-shell. This is why *BSD/OSX will be alive and kicking for as long as people need a stable operating system.

    (Flamebait me all you want, my karma is through the floor anyway.)

  13. Devil? on Gates tried to Blackmail Danish Government · · Score: 1, Funny

    >from the dancing-with-the-devil dept.

    Now what did the Danish prime minister do to deserve such a name?

  14. Re:Eh, mediocre at best. on Knuth's Art of Computer Programming Vol. 4 · · Score: 1

    \usepackage{times}

    That's obsolete, use mathptmx instead. Read more in the documentation for PSNFSS.

  15. Re:hmm on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    > personally, i wouldn't go for 4

    Because you've met him and know a lot about what he is like apart from what you know about what he is like in business?

  16. Re:How will this affect *BSD? on LSB Submitted To ISO/IEEE · · Score: 0, Troll

    Exactly. I'm starting to get a bit annoyed about Open Source always being equated with Linux and GPL. Open Source Labs, Open Source Developers Network. Open Source This, Open Source That, it's all Linux.

    It's time we liberate "Open Source" from the shackles of Linux!

  17. Close enough on 2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again · · Score: 1

    That's it. I'm out of here.

  18. Re:Bill Joy on Tim Bray's Top Twenty Software People in the World · · Score: 1

    Yes! My bad.

  19. Silly on Tim Bray's Top Twenty Software People in the World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Unbelievable that the inventor of Flash is included but none, that I can see, from the CSRG at Berkeley that designed and implemented TCP/IP, BSD etc. This list is just an expression of personal preferences rather than merits.

  20. Darn that title on Cube Farm · · Score: 1

    Here I think I'll see a Beowulf cluster rendering farm of GameCubes. I'm so disappointed!

  21. Re:So tired of fantasy cliches on Guild Wars World Preview Event Details · · Score: 1

    > Of course, I'm sure you already knew this before posting. I can't imagine anyone posting their opinion on something they know nothing about...

    Welcome to Slashdot. You must be new here.

  22. This seems like overkill on When Emulation Isn't Enough · · Score: 1

    Why not use the Adaptoid instead? I use it along with an old N64-controller for NES, SNES and N64 emulators, as well as for other games, such as Splinter Cell. Very configurable with a C-like scripting language. Only drawback is that I don't think it works in *BSD/Linux...

  23. Huh? on RMS to Move Into Bill Gates Building Today · · Score: 0, Troll

    RMS has a job?!? What's next, is he gonna get a haircut? So much for hippie-culture in the 21:st century...

  24. Re:I don't think so on Do Videogame Skills Transfer To Real Life? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The swedish army is about to start using Ghost Recon (ink in sweidsh) as a means of training its officers. The part in games related to tactics and decision making is probably a lot more useful to real life, rather than actual physical skills.

  25. Re:IT Fads on Jobs to India -- A Broad Look · · Score: 1

    > Don't let them make decisions because they can't.

    <omnious_voice> But they'll learn... </omnious_voice>
