  1. Another breaking release on ASP.NET Ajax Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    From their Migrate RC to RTM doc.
    The ASP.NET AJAX validator controls that were part of the RC release have been removed. You must remove the following registration entries for those controls from the section and remove any instances of these controls in your pages.

    Oh goodie, let me just go back and do that and undo my previous days work. Apparently there will be a fix in the near future, but for now there's a bandaid available.

  2. Re:Killed?? on Woman Killed In Wii-Related Competition · · Score: 5, Insightful

    She was killed by her own stupidity

    If we're picking words, then I'd say she was killed by her ignorance, not stupidity.

    If she knew that excess water consumption can kill you, then yes, she was stupid and the station doesn't have a liability.

    But did she know that? Did the station inform her? Did the station know? When she started to feel sick, is it reasonable to expect her to go to the emergency room just for drinking water? And even if she had, was it already too late at that point?

    I just have questions, not answers, but I also reserve judgment until the details are known.

  3. Re:VB already gets the respect it deserves... on Lisp and Ruby · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That says far more about your circle of friends/co-workers than it does about the language.

  4. Re:clocks on Unofficial Win2K Daylight Saving Time Fix · · Score: 1

    WTF? Make it user-configurable so fundamentalists can set pi=3?

    In my company we use pi=7.36.

    But we also work with really BIG circles.

  5. Re:No finger prints helps. on US Visitor Fingerprints To Be (Perhaps) Stored by FBI · · Score: 1

    The other thing you can do is to cover the tips of your fingers with super glue. It works quite well and does not come off for some time.

    great idfea!

  6. Re:PS3 on Gaming's Biggest Blunders of 2006 · · Score: 1

    Wow, a Slashdot post that so closely matches the spoof ad that I'm not entirely sure whether it's an attempt at humor or not.

    So who's gonna play the part of the hot Wii chick?

  7. Re:Morons on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    She didn't know which was cheaper.

    $6.99 is by definition cheaper than $8.99, the number of batteries is irrelevant.

    Unless you mean cost per battery, which only is a factor if you actually need the extra 6 batteries.

  8. Re:Argh!!! on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 1

    It doesn't suck, it's actually working quite well.

    It's just that no one can figure out how.

  9. Re:Tailgating on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tailgaters aren't that bad, I can live with them behind me.

    It's the fuckers that are really close in front of me I can't stand. How the hell am I supposed to be able to stop in time going 80mph when that guy is just 10 feet in front of me?!

  10. Re:Intel Correction on NVidia, AMD Subpoenaed In Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 4, Funny

    An Intel spokesman later followed up and said: "We're 99.999999999990437% certain we have not been subpoenaed."

  11. Re:penetration tester on First-Person Account of a Social Engineering Attack · · Score: 1

    How about Penetration engineer?

    Man that'd make a badass business card.

  12. Re:It could be from Japan and not unbelievable on Who Says Money Can't Buy Friends? · · Score: 1

    Ever since John cut her hair she kinda looks like a dude.

  13. Re:Anyone... on Star Wars Virgin Takes the Plunge · · Score: 1, Funny

    Geez, you need to calm down and get laid.

  14. Re:The age of game magazines is over on Official PlayStation Magazine Discontinued · · Score: 1

    Funny, no LCD monitor in the bathroom is why I still have a gaming magazine subscription.

  15. Re:Use GMT on Prepared for Next Year's Time Change? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately most OSes or platforms only have one definition for when DST occurs. Meaning, if you need to convert a historical, or future date to GMT and back, you're going to have issues.

    Try it now, see when your computer tells you DST occured in 1980, 1970, 1960. It'll most likely be wrong.

  16. Re:This isn't helpful, but... on Better Ways to Handle User Conflicts? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention, people like to obsess over petty things.

    Just ignore it for a while, most likely it'll go away.

    Then you deal with the persistent problems.

  17. Re:WoW themed patches on Trial For The Male Pill Shows No Side-effects · · Score: 1

    I'm no prude, but if they're not going to use their head, they shouldn't be fucking.

    Fortunately, very few women become pregnant when they just use their head.

  18. Re:Corpse-Flower Grower on Dirtiest Jobs in Science · · Score: 1

    The Semen washer doesn't sound like a bad job either-

    Actually, it sounds like a bad job, it just isn't.

    Just like being a packer at a fudge factory.

  19. Re:Damned liars ! on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 4, Funny

    News for nerds. Stuff that lathers?

  20. Re:Old News on Details On IE7 CSS Changes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Old news for nerds.
    Stuff that used to matter.

  21. Re:But what about artificial limbs? on England Starts Fingerprinting Drinkers · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, I'm sure that will prove to be quite the insurmountable obstacle.

    We can only hope, that some rogue state does not develop an extended plastic tube that can be used for beverage consumption without the use of hands.

  22. Re:Sanity on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1

    Yes, but my point is that this would be a non-story if it weren't for the internet being involved.

    Much like tacking on "in bed" to the end of chinese fortune cookies, media loves an opportunity where they can tack on "on the internet".

  23. Re:Sanity on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1, Funny

    The Internet provides you a way of meeting people you would otherwise have no chance of ever meeting/talking to.

    So does the highway.

    Except blaming the highway is ridiculous.

  24. Heh on PS3 Pre-Orders Came and Went · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They waited this long to take pre-orders because they wanted to be sure that they weren't going to get burned like they did for the XBox 360 launch.

    Allow me to express some mild scepticism, but I predict shortages and many unfulfilled pre-orders.

  25. Re:Not so bad on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 1

    but you really didn't care what they were - only that I hadn't stated them.

    Exactly. I didn't even ask for the figure, I just said that it's silly to construct an argument while dismissing the reason for the argument.

    Thanks for the numbers anyway Dick (Short for Richard I assume).
