  1. Breakdance on IBM Files Patent For Bullet-Dodging Bionic Armor · · Score: 1

    I thought, that's how breakdance was invented?

  2. Monkey Island on Avoiding Wasted Time With Prince of Persia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In Monkey Island, you could never die either. But it was still a lot of fun to play!

  3. Court in Hamburg on Court Order Against German T-Mobile iPhone Sales · · Score: 3, Informative

    The court in Hamburg is well known for its strange decisions. A guy is even logging lots of trials from that single judge that is resonsible: http://www.buskeismus.de/ (German only, sorry)

  4. German article about same topic on Privacy and the "Nothing To Hide" Argument · · Score: 1

    If you are aware of the German language, the following article should be a must-read: http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/23/23625/1.html

    Its title is called "Wer nichts zu verbergen hat, hat auch nichts zu befürchten".

  5. Re:Speaking of "Next"... on 20 Must-have Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1

    In 1998, I did parts of my diploma thesis about such a thing - page pre-caching for web pages coming within mpeg2 transport streams onto a set-top-box (with rather limited amount of RAM).

  6. Re:My direct experience... on What Bizarre IT Setups Have You Seen? · · Score: 1

    Maybe because "stupidity wins"? ;-)

  7. Re:My direct experience... on What Bizarre IT Setups Have You Seen? · · Score: 0

    "Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens"

    Should read

    "Mit der Dummheit kämpfen selbst Götter vergebens"

  8. The screenshots are weird on A look at Thunderbird 2.0 Beta · · Score: 1

    I really do not understand how someone can take screenshots of an e-mail application and then scrambles 90% of the look and feel of the actual application.

    And just because the editor seems to be too lazy to enter some test content.

    That is like doing a test of a new BMW and only showing you how the color of the car looks like, but omitting the rest.

  9. So he must be... on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 1

    Professor Chuck Norris

  10. Re:The best development tool with Visual Studio on Changing Climates for Microsoft and Google · · Score: 1

    Just give an average Borland product to the whining guy above. Then he would have a reason to cry.

  11. But... on Is Microsoft An Innovator? - The Winer-Scoble Debate · · Score: 1

    ...who cares?

  12. Re:Companies only pay for one computer on Germany's New Internet License Fee · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I has to emprove mi inglish ;-)

  13. Re:Companies only pay for one computer on Germany's New Internet License Fee · · Score: 2

    Bullshit done in the Swiss doesn't make the same bullshit now done in Germany look any better.

  14. Re:Really bad idea! on COWS Ajax - Ajax Evolved · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey, but we already did look stupid when Google Analytics was down the last time and all of our websites were slow to access and we couldn't fix it, didn't we?

  15. Re: my webcam on Finding a Customizable Webcam (and Other Devices)? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I will try to :-).

  16. AXIS webcam on Finding a Customizable Webcam (and Other Devices)? · · Score: 1

    My 24h webcam is an AXIS model, too. I am very satisfied.

    They also do have wireless models.

  17. "German Democratic Republic"? on Amnesty International vs. Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    When trying to sign their "pledge", I discovered that they allow me to select the "German Democratic Republic" (GDR for short) as a country.

    The GDR was merged 1990 with Western Germany.

    Where is AI they buying their country- and address lists from?

  18. Professional Designers? on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update · · Score: 1

    While all 3 designs look "nicer" than the current design, it seems to me that they are done by hobby-designers (i'm a visual illiterate person myself, too but learned some things from this woman).

    Especially the various spaces between texts, images, etc look randomly unbalanced.

    And the font sizes look randomly choosen, too. I dislike a website/printed paper where there are more than two or three font sizes. The three examples have lots of them, make it look odd to me.

  19. Windows Key on Lenovo & Customer Perception · · Score: 1

    I hate IBM/Lenovo for not providing a Windows key!

  20. Unproven statement on Advanced Requests and Responses in Ajax · · Score: 1

    I really do hate it when people try to convince me with their opinion by creating random, totally unproven statements like:

    "The Web is no longer a place where simple applications are tolerated"

    And omitting any example or proof about why they think that they are right.

  21. Naming Issues on yellowTAB's Zeta 1.0 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    May I suggest the readers to read about MY (negative) experiences I had with this Zeta-OS?:

    Thanks
    Uwe

  22. Bill and this girl on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1

    So this is like the Michael Jackson incident?

  23. Re:Don't expect long term support on Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework · · Score: 1

    Get serious. No one will ever develop a decent application with a decent GUI by using something like an XML-language. That's just a marketing hype/dream.

  24. "The ZetaOS diary of an (involuntary) Insider" on Zeta Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    I you allow, I would draw your short attention to a blog entry of myself about the odyssee we had and have, just because we have the same name as this "ZetaOS":

    The ZetaOS diary of an (involuntary) Insider

    (And of course my apologize for the fact that I am linking to a Microsoft-based blog...)

  25. Re:.NET???!!! on HP Announces National Id System Built on .NET · · Score: 1

    Maybe they use ADA.NET like this here: http://www.usafa.af.mil/df/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/a_sh arp.cfm
