  1. my Google project day on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 1

    Project #1: Eat this delicious pastrami sandwich.
    Results: Delicious.

    Project #2: Eight hour nap.
    Results: Zzzz.

  2. less than half a million idiots on Simple Route To Linux On The iPod · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the pirates...

    Yarr.

  3. yep on Zeta Goes Gold · · Score: 0

    torrent

    posted on May 20, so I don't know if it's final or what.

  4. "This guy who wrote this review is a nobody" on Initial Review of Microsoft's Acrylic BETA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As opposed to the professional journalists from CNET, ZDNet, and slashdot itself? Given a choice between John C. Dvorak's latest bowel movement of a story and some idiot blogger's "reviews," I'll take the reviews.

  5. SECRET CHEAT on Simulated Universe · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just type "FUND" a few hundred times.

    Do it before you build anything, because it causes earthquakes.

  6. Wait a minute on No IE7 For 2k, Now In Extended Service · · Score: 1

    ...I'd rather it be the latest, greatest and most secure. And I still don't trust SP2...

    So you want security, but don't install Microsoft security updates because you don't trust them?

    Dot dot dot.

  7. err on FTC Recommends ISPs Disconnect Spam Zombies · · Score: 1

    What does IMAP have to do with SMTP?

  8. Re:thanks, slashdot on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    What Firefox needs is full-blown per-site preferences. It's scheduled for 2.0, so we'll be waiting a while for it.

    OmniWeb and Safari (with PithHelmet) both offer a full set of preferences for every site I visit, something I can't live without in Firefox.

  9. Re:thanks, slashdot on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 0

    I disable JavaScript, but not because I'm paranoid about security issues.

    Like Flash, 90% of all JavaScript is designed to annoy. Like Flash, I'll have no truck with it.

  10. does anyone even use the front page anymore? on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I know with keywords in Safari and Firefox I haven't intentionally visited google's front page in ages.

  11. heh on Social Bookmarking Services Revisited · · Score: 1

    When I hit that site the first three popular links were about del.icio.us.

  12. pffft on Web Designer's Reference · · Score: 1

    HTML is so non-semantic anyway, it really doesn't matter. Bring on the age of custom schema!

  13. whoa daddy on Web Designer's Reference · · Score: 2, Informative

    Whoever told you that Firefox was "100% compliant" was selling something.

    Firefox whiffs some CSS2.1 rules among other things.

  14. Re:what? on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    You can't stop them. They'll wade through your rights, reach down your throat, and pull your fucking heart out.

  15. well that's odd on Hilary Rosen Gripes About iPod, iTMS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My bleep downloads seem to play fine on my iPod.

    Should I file a bug?

  16. hooray for handwaving on 2 Firefox Security Flaws Lead to Exploit Potential · · Score: 1

    No bug here...

    Jesus H. Christ on a Hot Cross Bun, man, what does it take for you to consider something a problem? Does it have to burn your house down before you accept that yes, this is indeed a serious issue?

  17. Without warning? on Longhorn: Fewer BSODs, More RSODs · · Score: 4, Funny

    How the hell do you expect to get a warning before your kernel crashes?

    "WARNING: Your kernel will crash in ten seconds. Owing to the very nature of the event, there is nothing you can do about it."

  18. PrintFu on Printing (Big) Manuals? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sounds like PrintFu is what you're after.

  19. Re:Does the status line work properly now? on Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features · · Score: 2, Informative

    Preferences > Web Features > Enable Javascript > Advanced > Allow scripts to: [x] Change status bar text.

  20. run os x for a week on Streaming Audio 10 Years Old · · Score: 1

    then let me know what you think of Real player.

    It's like the "I guess we better make a Mac version" edition.

  21. Re:Who's copying whom on Jobs Claims Microsoft Is Shamelessly Copying · · Score: 1, Informative

    The "Info Display Panel" was done with Active Desktop before Konfabulator existed.

    Small bits of html on the desktop is nothing new.

  22. funny thing about breakfast on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 1

    I wake up hungry, but for some reason I can't eat in the morning. I'm so repelled by food that I can't pack a lunch even when I know I'm going to be hungry later.

    Because of this, I generally try to eat a good meal right before I go to bed.

  23. Odwalla Bars, beer on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 2, Funny

    Odwalla sells nutrient-dense food bars that will raise your blood sugar enough to keep you from passing out all the time. I'm underweight myself and often can't be bothered to get myself some real food; these work great for those times.

    Drinking a six pack of dark ale daily will raise your caloric intake significantly, too.

  24. well that's just super on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 1

    You know, rah rah rah, go team! and stuff. Your cheerleading has nothing to do with my point.

    Let's be more concerned about what MoFo can do to make people change from IE and less concerned with celebrating a victory that has yet to happen.

  25. Gecko's needs fixing too, you know on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Gecko polls servers for changed content when moving through history. As far as I know, Opera is the only major browser that gets that part of HTTP/1.1 right.

    History mechanisms and caches are different. In particular history mechanisms SHOULD NOT try to show a semantically transparent view of the current state of a resource. Rather, a history mechanism is meant to show exactly what the user saw at the time when the resource was retrieved.
