  1. Re:err... on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    You can make what you want of it, dear AC :-)

  2. Answers mostly content-free and evasive on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1, Funny

    Bush comes across as the major offender here, but Kerry isn't too far behind.

    BTW, judging by the frequency of "John Edwards and I" being repeated, I'm left wondering -- is Kerry gay?

  3. No worries, mate :-) on Ubuntu Linux Preview Released · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Generally I don't whinge about moderation -- never with regard to my posts -- but the injustice meted out to yours was a bit too much.

    Cheers,
    CD

  4. Unfair moderation on Ubuntu Linux Preview Released · · Score: 1


    LiquidCoooled's three posts in this thread have been modded as troll and flamebait. Quite unfair when you actually read them and realise there's nothing inflammatory -- unless you're a close-minded zealot with rose glasses on.

    I'm posting this with my karma bonus to show my disappointment. So there.

  5. Eeek on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    I know :-) I was trying to be witty [and miserably failing, apparently].

  6. Re:Workaround on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's not surprising, considering the theme was released on, and I quote the page, "Released on December 31, 1969".

    Seriously though -- a port should be in the works. Hang on till then :-)

    -- CD

  7. Workaround on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 5, Informative

    Most 0.9+ plugins should work with 1.0PR. Go to about:config, locate extensions.disabledObsolete and change its value to false . Worked for me, YMMV. Good luck.

    -- CD

  8. Haha on Turn Your House Plants Into Speakers · · Score: 1

    It's funny cos it's true! Good one, mate :-)

  9. Sony, IIRC on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately I do not remember who build these CD players, but I seem to recall a $20k price tag.

    As a kid, I remember reading a Reader's Digest article [mid-'80s] heralding the CD's arrival, and Stevie Wonder's fondness for digital was prominent -- memories are hazy, but I believe he bought one of the very first compact disc players by Sony. And the USD 20000 tag was mentioned, too.

    Brings back memories -- thanks :-)
  10. Spelling alert! on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 0

    That's Oral.

  11. GnuPG 1.3.6 alpha on Lexar JumpDrive Password Scheme Cracked · · Score: 1

    Though it's currently in alpha, GnuPG 1.3.6 is stable enough for general use, and supports SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 -- important now that MD5 and SHA1 may be flawed.

  12. Yikes on Faster Updates for DNS Root Servers Arrive · · Score: 1

    Thanks, dananderson and jschrod for the correction. Much appreciated.

  13. Re:International Date Format -- typo on Faster Updates for DNS Root Servers Arrive · · Score: 1

    Pointing out the obvious -- that's ISO 8601, not ISO 6601.

  14. International Date Format on Faster Updates for DNS Root Servers Arrive · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's about time the switch was made -- here's why ISO 6601 is the way to go.

  15. Re:Funniest. Summary. Ever. on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1
    I'm pro-life ... I would gladly strangle anybody
    Good one, mate!
  16. "F-Lock" bullshit on Cherry Announces Linux keyboard · · Score: 1

    The latest keyboard innovation (read annoyance) seems to be the F-Lock key. Every time the PC boots up, it defaults to "Off", so the F keys don't work and I have to turn it on every frickin' time. Microsoft introduced this last year, but the bug has bitten Logitech, too. Hopefully this madness won't last into the next season.

    Wish they sold better keyboards here in AU :-(

  17. A better logo on Peeping Tom Worm That Uses Webcams · · Score: 1

    May I point out a hairy replacement?

  18. FP on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    off my shitty dialup connection

  19. "being ground up" on RIAA Grinds Down Individuals in the Courtroom · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ... and in the freezer? Just like how I like my women?

  20. State of Heidi Wall on Larry Wall's State of the Onion 8 · · Score: -1, Troll

    What horny Slashdotters are keen on is your daughter.

    Hmmm ... "- intentional blankness -" -- were we expected?

  21. Not just CmdrTaco on This Headline Is Not for Sale · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Here's a more blatant showpiece from our all-time favourite, Michael.

  22. Of course! on This Headline Is Not for Sale · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not that Slashdot is guilty of it ...

  23. Re:Old entry on NSLU2 Now More Useful · · Score: 1

    I avoided the strict ISO 8601 version (2004-06-26T17:38Z) for a reason -- to enhance readability. Then again, this is Slashdot, and such considerations can be counterproductive :-)

  24. Congrats on NSLU2 Now More Useful · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    No one seems to appreciate you scoring the last 7-digit post ... but I do.

    Cheers!
