  1. Re:IBM Thinkpad on Laptops w/o Trackpads? · · Score: 1
    ... my son-in-law is the engineer who designed [the Clit mouse]
    All those years of him "practicing" on your daughter finally paid off :-)
  2. Ah on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    He should've known better than to use Lynx.

  3. OT: In response to your sig… on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...I offer you the following corrections:

    I don't think any concious person...

    Conscious.

    ...extremely causious with such experiments

    Cautious.

    ...both of nature and eachother

    Each other.

    Your willingness to learn is impressive, as is your current grasp of English. Keep up the good work.

    Cheers,
    CD

  4. Clarification on Real Pays For Legal MP3 Playback On Linux · · Score: 1

    Ogg is a container format, while Vorbis is the actual codec.

    A quick-and-dirty analogy: think of Vorbis as toothpaste, and Ogg as the tube it's stored inside.

  5. Re:I have always been curious on Decrypting Kryptos · · Score: 2, Funny

    Christmas should be capitalized.

    What makes you think it isn't? ;-)

  6. Ooooh on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1

    My penis is big ... in Japan!

    It works! :-O

  7. CHF on First BitTorrent Arrest in Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    Swiss Franc.

  8. Parallels to SVG on A Scanner Darkly Sneak-Peek · · Score: 1

    The rotoscoped screenshots' style is quite reminiscent of SVG images such as Lion (PNG) and Tiger (PNG). The strong, solid lines lend themselves to vector rendering. Perhaps the entire movie could be thus done in SVG?

  9. Careful on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Don't violate any FCC regulations, and keep this to yourself so the RIAA won't come after you.

  10. Re:OT: Raising kids on Building the AACS Next-Gen Copy Protection Scheme · · Score: 1

    "failed as a parent" is a bit extreme.

    Fair enough. I am still disappointed with my parents, hence the strong feelings.

    I said exposing them to confrontation "is unfair", not an absolute.

    Coversely, I believe not exposing your kids to confrontation is equally unfair to them in the long run.

    Thanks for your input, anyway. Nice to see a civilised conversation on /. :)

    It can be equally surprising where it comes from :-) I wish you and your kids all the best.

    Cheers,

  11. OT: Raising kids on Building the AACS Next-Gen Copy Protection Scheme · · Score: 1

    Plus, I have kids. Exposing them to a confrontation (which will usually get aggressive and involve excessive swearing) is unfair.

    When I was a kid, my parents adopted the same outlook. I wish they didn't, for when confronting situations arose, I could not fend for myself -- I was helpless. Many years later, I'm still learning. See, knowing what was not enough -- how to do was the key.

    You must ensure your kids learn to look out for themselves. If not, you have failed as a parent.

    Good luck,
    CD

  12. And the Slashdot BotY award goes to … on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1
  13. If this is for real … on Engineered Enhancers Closer Than You Think · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... I will need a new handle.

  14. Re:wow on Tsunami Satellite Images · · Score: 2, Informative

    There were at least two other articles pertaining to the earthquake and tsunami.

  15. Re:Doesn't add up on $1.5 Million Bar-code Scheme Bilks Wal-Mart Stores · · Score: 1

    The reasoning they give is that a happy customer is a returning customer.

    As in returning the goods, right? Truer words were never said.

  16. Finally! on High-Speed Video Using a Dense Camera Array · · Score: 1

    Technology sufficiently advanced to capture the finer details of my cumshots.

    The women should be so lucky.

  17. Catwoman deserved better on Sin City Trailer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Had they adapted Darwyn Cooke's excellent "Selina's Big Score" for the movie, it wouldn't have been the disaster it turned out to be.

  18. DKK on Blu-Ray/Standard DVD Hybrids Planned · · Score: 1

    The DKK is the Danish Krone of Denmark, not Greece.

  19. First XMas post on The Future of the P.C. · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Kids, Santa does not exist!

  20. Environmental themes in SA on Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle Open in Japan · · Score: 1

    ... Spirited Away has nothing to do with the environment at all ...

    It certainly does. Remember the "stink spirit" that turned out to be a river god? Note the contents that spewed out when they pulled out the "thorn" in its side.

    Another one: the Kohaku river disappeared as a result of new buildings that rose around it.

  21. Don’t mock me, my friend! on Is ATT's ogo A Worthy Purchase? · · Score: 1

    It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well.

    Are you also divergent, friend?

  22. Both use Gecko on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 1

    Firefox employs the same Gecko rendering engine, which supports the BLINK tag.

  23. Priorities on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 1

    It wasn't long ago that AOL decided to kill Winamp. Now they have decided to breathe life into Netscape. Interesting turn of events ...

    One can only hope the bulb lights up and they switch to the excellent Gecko engine in the next version of the AOL browser. Many a web developer would raise a toast to that.

  24. Minimo on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 2, Informative

    Minimo is Mozilla's answer to the PDA & embedded device market. Now that Firefox 1.0 is out, I hope the developers allot more time and effort to it.

  25. Welcome back, TLG on Nielsen Will Measure TV ratings Among DVR Users · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's heartening to see you're still around. As for me, I'm listening to "Fire Garden Suite" [3:17 / 9:56, MP3 @206 kbps] by Steve Vai [Fire Garden, 1996].
