  1. Google Zeitgeist on OS X Vs. Linux On The Desktop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    According to the Google Zeitgeist for August, Linux accounted for 1.8% of it's hits. Macintosh's had 4.18%, and Windows 98 held 54.34%.

    I think Google is a better indicator than the Hitbox stats.

  2. safe and caring environment on British Cops To Create "Naughty Children" Database · · Score: 1

    "It is not an exaggeration to note that, for some of these children, street gangs provided a safer and more caring environment than their homes or classrooms."

    Scary. What does this say about London schools?

  3. Re:Autoimmune Disease on Cybercrime Treaty to Be Signed · · Score: 1

    Correction. Your government can take the freedom of everyone in your entire country, and possibly beyond.

    Is anyone else waiting for President George III to insitute a soft drink tax to help fund the war on terrorism?

  4. Re:Mirror - corrected! on OS Emulation Extravaganza, OS X On Down · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Hopefully it can handle it. :)

    You can definitely handle it if you put a space in the uri.

    That's better. =]
    I think it's a pretty cool picture myself... wish my Windows looked that cool, hehe. (I'm referring to the sidebar. I've never gotten litestep to look that good.)

  5. How about Tribes? on Making Strategy Games with...Strategy? · · Score: 1

    I'm referring to the clan games in the Tribes series.

    For example; my Tribe plays in matches almost twice a week. We have an Offense leader and a Defense leader. Since every soldier is a real person, this would bring about a lot of the "fogginess" of a real combat general. People may or may not strictly follow orders, depending upon what they think is necessary. Communication is necessary to keep a well oriented team.

    Even though it's marketed as a first person shooter (albiet in midair), in clan warfare it takes on some strategic elements and necessities. It provides for this with the Command Circuit, in which you can set objectives for players, and view the current status of your team's players and equipment.

  6. Big Ugly Ads on Slashdot Updates · · Score: 1

    I thought server costs were the problem, but you plan to fix it by placing huge ads in all of your articles? Hehehe. How's that supposed to help? They sure seem to take up a lot of bandwidth on MY end!

    Moreover, those huge ads have been known to crash my computer about 50% of the time that I view ZDNet.. I know Slashdot caters mainly to Linux users, but don't forget about us pitious crashable Windows users!

  7. Re:False Authority Syndrome at work. on Pyramid Shaped Keyboard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thus slowing down the typist. True, it did speed up typing by preventing jams, however with the advent of computer keyboards that is no longer necessary. Therefore, the QWERTY keyboard slows down typists and must be eliminated.

  8. lol on Slashback: Picnic, Sperling, Quickliness · · Score: 1

    They're trying to slashdot somebody by posting their IP and making everybody curious (I pinged too).
