  1. Re:"dumb down?" on A Different Perspective On Snow Leopard's Exchange Support · · Score: 1

    My main issue with this is when I want to do both a right and left click at the same time with the track pad (or mighty mouse for that matter).
    Probably not something most people need to do often, but I've run into it more than once.

  2. Re:X25-M + Bootcamp on Intel Responds To X25-M Fragmentation Issue · · Score: 1

    Nope, only had a minute or two free at the time and forgot about it later. (The article is kind of long)

    I was hoping some kind soul like yourself would have read the article and possibly others, see my question and answer it.

    Thanks :)

  3. X25-M + Bootcamp on Intel Responds To X25-M Fragmentation Issue · · Score: 1

    I know the X25-M didn't work with bootcamp before, does anybody know if the firmware update also addresses this issue?

  4. Desert on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    I wrote code in a moving vehicle in the middle of the desert in a moving Jeep over rough terrain. It was 115 degrees out and the Jeep AC only barely worked, and any benefit was canceled by the rack of servers in the back. At night, it was 95 degrees and it felt *nice*. This was during a test and debug session for one of the DARPA grand challenges.

    I still consider this better working conditions than writing credit union software in PL1 in a cube farm, however...

  5. Re:"Content centric"? on The Internet Is 'Built Wrong' · · Score: 1

    "How are sites slashdotted when nobody reads TFAs?"

    That really is one of the great mysteries of slashdot.

    nah, it's just that commenting and RTFA are mutually exclusive

  6. Re:One understatement, comming up!! on Integrated Circuit Is 50 Years Old Today · · Score: 1

    Something else to back it up like another correlation?

    How can you determine the cause of *anything* without a correlation?

    It's just that some correlations have more/fewer variables to take into account to determine how much support it should have for a cause.

  7. Re:Software Viri too? on Viruses Infected By Viruses · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, all I need to read is the bottle.

  8. Re:Still on Mom Blasts Ballmer Over Kid's Vista Experience · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it thought you weren't a human being

  9. Re:Is this who's on top syndrome? on Apple Legend Woz Blasts iPhone Price Drop · · Score: 1

    For the record: I own two Windows boxes, two Linux boxes and one OSX box. I use most of them on a regular basis, for various purposes.


    Let me see if I understand correctly. That makes you 3 parts smug and 2 parts evil?
  10. Re:What, the "Sponsered Links" section? on Google Sued Over Deceptive Search Results · · Score: 1

    Well, what do you expect from a company called "Google"?

  11. Re:Hacking security cameras, huh? on Thieves Hacking Security Cameras? · · Score: 1

    I went to the comments and searched for "bio" *specifically* to see if this comment had already been made.

  12. Re:Sony should be terrified of you on $499 PlayStation 3 Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I think the Linux thing was so they could classify it as a computer and save money in taxes in Europe.

  13. Re:obligatory Gentoo joke on Nicotine Is the New Wonder Drug · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Gentoo should adopt Debian's release schedule.
    Then you'd only be 1 or 2 releases behind when it finishes compiling.

    Hmm, need to get back on topic.
    This is a non-smoking post, if you should decide to smoke in any replies, there will be a 250 dollar cleaning fee.

  14. Re:needless prefixing on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 1

    I would guess you're probably not a fan of hungarian notation.

  15. Re:That was quick... on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1

    200 yards?
    I somehow ended up with 6 of them in my living room.
    I think they started resorting to non-euclidean construction.

  16. Re:If he takes a stand against alliteration on Obama Requests Creative Commons for Presidential Debates · · Score: 1

    You should join the Alliance Against Alliteration.

    Or if you also hate abbreviations, the AAAA (Alliance Against Abbreviation and Alliteration)

  17. Re:Only Fools Wait Until The Last Minute on Turbo Tax Melts Down on Tax Day · · Score: 1

    I'd say they were uncle-sammed.

  18. Re:Add one to that on 9 Laws of Physics That Don't Apply in Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Blanka, how could you lie to me so!

  19. Re:Sounds about right on China Treats Internet Addiction Very Seriously · · Score: 1

    Given the frequency that these kinds of comments come up while discussing ADD, I think we can now safely say that Cheese causes ADD.

  20. Re:Works at room temperature? on First Graphene Transistor · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'll bite.
    Way to think outside the nano-pencil!

  21. Re:How do I offer a bounty? on Over 27% of Firefox Patches Come from Volunteers · · Score: 1

    This one drives me insane as well.

    Every few days I get an e-mail from people who voted on this bug.

    I'm really surprised that this hasn't annoyed someone enough to fix it themselves. I know that if I had more free time I'd give it a shot.

  22. Re:Here me son of man! on Quantum Computer Demoed, Plays Sudoku · · Score: 1

    I guess even God is too afraid of mistakes to run as root.

  23. Re:TiVo can make life better for us on TiVo Selling Data on Users' Watching Habits · · Score: 1

    "The same goes for content... if noone records a show, or watches it on Tivo buffer, its well earned demise can be accelerated."

    I wonder if networks would actually look at the popularity of the show, itself, or if they would look at how often the ads associated with that show were watched when determining if they should keep it around.

    If it were the latter, then not only would the show have to be good, but the ads associated with the show would have to be good for it to survive.

  24. Re:Why on US Pennies To Be Worth Five Cents? · · Score: 1

    But if we get rid of the penny, all that time I spent playing the coinparison game in Big Brain Academy would have been wasted!

  25. Re:Trolling for controversy? on The Birth of vi · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's good to see that Slashdot is finally posting some more recent articles.
