  1. As if the poll weren't subliminal enough on Themes.org Reborn at Freshmeat · · Score: -1, Redundant

    So, for the people who didn't get the idea that themes.org is back from the /. poll, here's the story for the people who need to be given things in a blatently obvious manner!

    And for those that got the hint from the poll, your mind has just been proven susceptible to subliminal messages. OSDN will take advantage of this fact soon by inserting *GNU* some interesting *BSD* messages within some *goatse.cx* random slashdot comments.

  2. Re:What silliness on Google vs. DMCA and Scientology · · Score: 0

    Second, if they ever did that to /., say, in response to disparaging comments about them, we'd all scream bloody murder.

    They already have.

  3. Great idea, but. . . on e-Denounce · · Score: 0

    This is a good idea. . . in theory. In practice, though, who will even bother? I mean, wouldn't the typical warezer want to keep his warezing resources around?

  4. Why not just use Mozilla? on Professor Testifies Windows Is Modular, Separable · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure if anyone's suggested this before, but why not just code up a replacement DLL that uses Mozilla for the HTML renderer instead of IE?

    Thus, you wouldn't really 'need' IE anymore.

  5. Of course we know the story of the mouse on Slashback: Grammy, Sirius, Levies · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The story of the mouse is available from Disney.

    Ooooh, that mouse.

  6. Re:Duh, quit using Outlook on No More Unrestricted Internet At Work · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, a lot of companies have invested too much in Windows, or can't switch to !Windows because of other reasons.

    However, there are plenty of alternative mailing programs. I use Pegasus Mail, and have found it to work rather well. Of course, I have it set for plaintext mail only, so that might be why I haven't been attacked by any javascript virii lately. ;P

  7. Nice high price on Rubber Band Machine Gun · · Score: 0

    $395? No thanks, I'll stick with my nerf gun.

  8. Re:Nothing New from Gateway! on iMac LCD Impostors · · Score: 0

    > Gateway actually had a PC with a monitor with a built in PC about 4 years ago (I don't think it was LCD).

    That would probably be the Gateway Astro, and, yes, it didn't use a LCD, but rather a CRT.

  9. Re:People just keep forgetting... on New HDTV Encryption Obsoletes Sets · · Score: 0

    Well, the thing is, if someone's smart enough to set their VCR clocks, then they *must* be an evil copyright-breaking hacker!

  10. Sounds like BEST? on FIRST Robotics Competition Starts Today · · Score: 0

    A similar program that my high school participated in can be found here: http://www.bestinc.org/

    Similar rules seem to apply.

  11. compression? on Download 600MB From The EU -- For A Demo? · · Score: 1

    Why can't they just {zip|gzip|bz2} the images? Any of the compression schemes should shave off at least a hundred megabytes or so.

  12. Katz, learn to type! on The Return Of Microsoft: Part Two · · Score: 1

    This might be flamebait, off topic, and various other things, but:

    The year l999? When's that?

    The letter L is *not* a worthy substitute for the numberal 1.
