  1. Too Much Serious Violence on Prey Review · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I personally prefer humorous violence. For example : WORMS!!!

  2. Re:process on Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Set for December · · Score: 1

    and what makes it so stable?

    In general, MORE TIME TESTING = MORE STABLE PRODUCT. And if it's not obvious already, Debian definitely takes their time testing.

  3. Demystified? on The Google Toolbar PageRank Demystified · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Google Toolbar PageRank Demystified ?????

    There was no demystification here, just a call to kill / ignore it. I like the summary though at the end of the article : Make your own conclusions;

  4. Marker Board Walls on IT Reference Posters? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I would prefer to Marker Board Walls, Like the ones that Google supposedly has draped inside it's campus.

  5. Pros & Cons summarized on Inside Vista's Image-Based Install Process · · Score: 5, Insightful
    This wasn't a Pros & Cons. It was a love-fest of the new Image-Based install process. Everything he wrote in that article was happy go lucky, no cons in site.

    • this means that the image isn't a bit-for-bit image of your disk layout, and hence you can apply the image to a new system without destroying the contents of the hard drive
    • Vista is hardware-agnostic, so you can use a single system image as a source for multiple hardware platforms, even if they have quite different hardware configurations
    • When capturing a system to a WIM file you can specify exclusions. For example, you can have a work directory on the system with temporary data.
    • Interestingly you can have as many images contained within one WIM file as you think you can manage, and any one of them can be marked as bootable.
  6. Re:unclear on this whole tagging thing on Gotuit Launches Broadband Video Portal · · Score: 3, Funny

    or is tagging for something else?

    I use tagging so that I'm appropriately biased before I read the article. If it says duh or fud I then I know that I should get pissed off before I read it, and as soon as I'm finished I should make a post that complains about what a waste of my time it was, and why /. shouldn't be posting this crap.

  7. Why Gotuit is different on Gotuit Launches Broadband Video Portal · · Score: 1, Redundant

    1) Gotuit is strictly about professional content

    Sorry guys, no paris hilton.

    2) The technology is more advanced

    Light years beyond everybody else, they are using streaming video! wow!



    Doesn't sound like too strong of an argument.

  8. CmdrTaco on Backslash on DS Sells 20 million, 17 Million More by March 2007 · · Score: -1, Troll

    From his profile (linked above) thought this was an interesting read ...

    BackSlash continues to be an interesting experiment meeting with totally unsurprising commentary from readers. Many are angry and missing the points. Others are appreciating it for what it is. But just to raise a few points about it, Backslash currently exists as an experiment to merge automated moderation with traditional "Editing". This serves 2 purposes: one is to create "Original" content for readers unwilling to read public forums. These people are MOST of you. They don't want to read any forum. The end. But there are great things in the forums. So if we can bridge this gap, we can make Slashdot Forums useful to the majority of readers who don't want to wade through them. The second point is that this gives us another data point for training/revising/improving the moderation system. Random data points of good comments from a few trusted sources. We have a lot of Score:5 comments and a lot of Score:1 comments that are quite good too. The new moderation system will give us a lot more flexibility in selecting moderators, and controling the influence that they wield within the system. I'm hoping that the Backslash stories will give us a good data point for seeding that system.

  9. Re:firstimus postimus by v0dka on The MySpace Ecosystem · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hey, were you perhaps the guy that invented the Goose-Poop-Scooping Machine? Cause I'm sure it would take a lot of v0dka to think that one up!

  10. Re:Just not a fan of such humanoid robots on The Robot Professor · · Score: 1
    So, which would you prefer run around the earth?
    • Humanoid Robots
    • Cloned Humans

    Because they're both coming, and IMHO either way it's going to suck.
  11. Re:Suspicious Files on PowerPoint 0-Day Points to Corporate Espionage · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I refuse to work for anyone who can't tell the difference between a possessive pronoun and a contraction.

    That's what I meant by suspicious! What were you thinking I was thinking?

  12. Supsicious Files on PowerPoint 0-Day Points to Corporate Espionage · · Score: 4, Funny

    In the meantime, anti-virus experts are urging Microsoft Office users to be on the lookout for suspicious attachments, even those that appear to come from colleagues internally

    But what if you receive a Power Point presentation from your manager called "ReadThisOrYourFired.ppt"? It looks suspicious, but oh the dilema.

  13. Re:This will.... on EFF Calls RIAA Tactics 'Reign of Terror' · · Score: 1

  17. Re:I smell lawsuit on The Man Behind Google Artwork · · Score: 1

    I guess what I meant is those stupid companies arguing over the google rankings again. Who gets first dibs on the search results for the Halloween logo, etc. Just forget it, I guess it was lame :-(

    This is worth at least 4 beers tonight.

    Odds are you'll be enjoying those 4 beers from the comforts of your dorm room, alone, playing final fantasy IV, reminiscing about Star Trek, and setting the kitchen timer so that you remember to call your mom before 9pm and wish her a happy birthday.

  25. My Article: Why Dvorak Bugs Me? on Dvorak Rants on CSS · · Score: 3, Funny

    - His articles are cascading. I mean, it starts sucking at the top, and the further I delve into it, the more it sucks. And if my web browsers looses some of his article, then all hell breaks loose on the suckiness.
    - His articles don't follow the standards. Typically, and article posted online is supposed to be interesting, informative, and be written by a well educated man. This article follows none of those standards.
    - His article was supposed to be dynamic. But every time I read the damn thing it's stil the same old boring Sh!t.
