  1. Re:Gator's memory footprint and other amusements on Gator Examined · · Score: 3, Funny

    Damn, if I was going to admit that, i'd at least do it anonymously.

  2. Re:Opera on Opera 7 to be Released for Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because it's good software that's well worth the money. The same could be said about Windows, and yet I still paid for Opera, even though IE, Mozilla, and Netscape are all free.

  3. Re:Simple ... on Why Do Computers Still Crash? · · Score: 1
    it is very hard to right code that will not crash under any circumstances.
    And I bet it's even harder to write the same code.
  4. Re:Why do people enjoy pornography? on Blow the Whistle, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Ha ha ha... I love having a sense of humor. Too bad "A Proud American" doesn't know what it's like.

    Boobs.
  6. Re:2d good - 3d not so good on Miyamoto Interview Discusses, Defends GTA · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Nintendo, make us all some more 2d mario games - please.
    I wish they'd make an "extended" version of Super Mario World... same graphics, same engine, same music, same characters... just 100 or so new levels. I'd pay $50, plus the cost of whatever new system it runs on, just to play it. I know i'm not the only one, either.
  7. Fucking weather on Full Lunar Eclipse May 15th-16th · · Score: 1
    The eclipse, which will begin around 10p EST, will be viewable by most of the Americas
    Yeah, unless it's cloudy and raining in southeast Virginia at the time.

  8. Re:Battery Life on Sony To Release PSP Handheld Console In 2004 · · Score: 4, Funny

    You got a Game Gear to run a couple of hours on four AA batteries? How? Mine wouldn't run at all on four, seeing as it needed six.

  9. Re:Is this type of attack really that prevalent on Windows Security Through Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    I use Opera too, and agree that more needs to be done than having your pet's names displayed in secure windows. Don't forget that the vast majority of computer users are idiots, and since Microsoft software is on the vast majority of computers, they have to write their programs to work for the lowest common denominator.

  10. Re:Is this type of attack really that prevalent on Windows Security Through Annoyances? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not much now, because people aren't expecting everything to be so secure. In the future, when it's expected that what you're looking at is secure, attacks like this could be come more widespread.

  11. Re:So...... on Windows Security Through Annoyances? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Because any website can pop up a fake window with a little GIF of a lock in the corner. But those dog names will be stored somewhere secure, that they can't access, so you know if you see them that your own computer is generating that data. Makes sense, although it'll be hard to explain and teach to the vast majority of computer users.

  12. Re:In the same vein... on Electronic Paper Advances · · Score: 1

    Because bookstores smell good.

  13. Re:methinks.... on Enter The Matrix Preview · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good. Maybe it'll run on people who don't have top of the line systems. I can't afford a new machine just for games, and unfortunatly, that means I can't play many of the games released over the last year or two. I wish more companies would make games with not so great graphics, so that people like me can still have our fun.

  14. Head units with inputs availible on Portable Music Storage for Your Car? · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are many head units availible as aftermarket upgrades that provide inputs. Aiwa is one brand that's known to have them, and there are several others. Some have a headphone sized line in jack on the front, and some have full RCA jacks on the back. Personally, i've used a 5 year old Aiwa tape deck with an input on the front, hooked up to both an MP3 discman and my Pocket PC. Sounded great in either setup, and the deck was less than $100.

  15. Re:Great! on At Last, PNG An ISO Standard Under Publication · · Score: 1

    I'm not talking about web developers. Everyone I know (besides myself, naturally) uses IE, and everyone I know complains about it. Yet when I tell them about all the other browsers that they can try, they just stick with IE, and keep complaining. If the majority of the web users keep this attitude, those web designers are going to be stuck with GIF for a lot longer than they should be. Sure, good PNG support in IE would be a good thing, but in the meantime the end users are going to have to do something to make it happen.

  16. Re:Great! on At Last, PNG An ISO Standard Under Publication · · Score: 3, Insightful
    But when will the hypocritical fucks on slashdot start using png graphics instead of gif?

    Probably about the same time that the hypocritical fucks who complain about PNG not working in IE shut up and switch to a better browser instead of just complaining about the one they have.
  17. Win for women? Yeah, right on Reverse Parking Made Easy · · Score: 3, Funny

    If women can't even park their cars right, how the hell are they going to compute (p=r-w/2,g)-w+2r+b,f )-w+2r-fg max((r+w/2)+f,(r+w/2)+b)-((2r),(r+w/2+k)) on the fly??

  18. Re:USB 2 Treat Firewire 800 on Recent Macs Have Built-in USB 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Since Beta is so much better than VHS, it's hard to see a threat there.

  19. Re:After effects on Friday Apple Quickies · · Score: 2, Informative

    Cut is a linear editor

    Great post, you're right about the difference between FCP and AE. However, FCP is a non-linear editor.

  20. Re:No firewire? on PS2 Getting DVD Upgrade & Progressive Video? · · Score: 1

    The firewire port was never intended to be for DV editing. It's for multiplayer games and plugging in other accessories, like fancy controllers and the like. I don't think they ended up releasing any of the accessories, though.

  21. It's about time on Top 100 Hoaxes of All Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally, an April Fool's Day post that isn't annoying as hell!

  22. Re:Lots of phones already have GPS on Personal GPS in a Mobile Phone · · Score: 5, Informative

    The difference is that US GPS phones don't have the GPS decoders in them. They just recieve raw data from the satellites, relay it to the tower, where computers at your provider figure out your location and pass it on to 911. There is no way to decode that data within the phone. Apparently, that's what sets this new phone apart from what we already have.

  23. Re:Strange on Zaurus SL-5600/SL-5500 Comparison Whitepaper · · Score: 2

    That would make sense, except that there are two Ask Slashdots posted by Cliff. One of them just a few articles down from this one.
