  1. Notable changes on GPL Revision Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    finally removes the word "suckers" and is totally written in leetspeak.

  2. Re:Strange on Trekkies Director Roger Nygard Answers · · Score: 1

    Maybe it was the questions most modded over/under rated, which would imply that they generated the most interest?

  3. Re:Just keep it off the Internet... on Where Is The Plug-and-Play Linux Office System? · · Score: 1

    I think you mean, "keep it off a network" since any machine connected with a route anywhere else is vulnerable. All it takes is one node of a network to be comprimised, then the rest of the network becomes a target.

  4. Good for them on Bejeweled 2 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    if only we could get all of the crack dealers of the world to donate to charity for each sale...

  5. So... on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    is this the reason that XP's built-in search sucks so much? Explorer refuses to search through non-associated file types. Can anyone tell me why this is, what has changed since Win 2k, and how to restore the functionality without requiring third-party tools (or telling me to switch to Linux or OS X since this is a work machine)?

  6. Re:Who designed that? on Official DS Website Launched · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was thinking that this is conceptually one of the best uses of flash in my opinion. The whole ad campaign is all about good touches, and the non-intuitive website encourages groping your way through, which is one of the benefits of flash, in a sense.

    Sadly, I'm not even sure if I'm serious anymore, but I still think it's a fun site if you've got the patience to be advertised to.

  7. Re:The real question is on Slate Posts Top-Secret Exit Polling Numbers · · Score: 1

    Well, regardless of your statement, it seems true to your nickname.

  8. Re:no fair on IBM Sponsors Linux on POWER Contest · · Score: 1

    Oh come on mods, this was funny. Troll indeed.

  9. Re:Who do you fine? on FCC's Powell vs. Howard Stern on KGO-AM · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, the FCC flip-flopped on the Bono incident. They originally deemed the context to be not indecent, then decided that any use of the f-word is vulgar. I don't recall (nor do I feel like searching for it) whether they decided to fine Bono.

  10. Re:Political Literacy Quiz on Voting Plus Lottery Equals Voter Turnout? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think you need some history lessons. Discrimination on account of intelligence is just a wrong and illegal as discriminating on account of race, creed, or color.

    Both the wise and fools need equal representation under our (the US) government.

  11. Re:Misread summary on Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal · · Score: 3, Funny

    not as often as they'd like...

  12. Most interesting to me on Halo 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    from the article was that MSN Messenger can grok Xbox Live status! That's cool!

  13. It looks like on Biggest Console System Collection on eBay · · Score: 2, Insightful

    someone's used game store went under.

    This auction is for those who want to give it their shot.

  14. Re:How is this a story on Getting Rid of Trolls In WordPress · · Score: 1

    That's just a mixed charset problem. A lot of blogs seem to have this. If you view the page as UTF-8, the quotes appear.

    The page was served with charset iso-8859-1, but was composed with utf-8.

    Just another reason to use html entities.

  15. Re:Wait a minute on Supreme Court Backs Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 1

    I'll bite:

    It's the notion that the branches are poised AGAINST each other that keeps American democracy "working." The founding fathers realized that people can't be given too much power, and thereby implemented a system of checks and balances to keep one branch from getting too much pull.

    That being said, it'd sure be nice to see the judicial branch come down on the PATRIOT act.

  16. It sounds as if on The Google News Dilemma · · Score: 2, Funny

    the best plan to make money is to hold other news sites hostage. Good ole extortion, that's a great way to make money. Offer to make Google News worse if the 10 largest competitors pay up proper.

  17. Re:Gross 3-D graphics on Smarter Than the Average Joystick · · Score: 1

    It's for internal testing purposes. Be happy it's in color with textures. Not everything has to be Doom 3, ya know?

  18. Re:I call Bullsh*t on 10 Things To Know About The Upcoming Debates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless you are referring to bylaws in their parties, then illegal is a valid term. For those who say that illegal should refer to "stuff made criminal under US [federal|state|local] law," get over it, man submits himself to all sorts of authorities.

  19. For a good switch on Can Anyone Suggest a Good Switch? · · Score: 4, Funny

    try a hickory tree. Stings like hell and the mere thought is a deterrant for most rascals and rapscallions.

  20. Re:mmm on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    I always found OpenBeer to be too tightly packaged. It's like they don't want anyone from the outside to get at the good stuff at all...

  21. Re:I don't think so. on Linux Desktop Distros with Quality Fonts? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's because /. is a community site filled with differing opinions. Why people insist on posting in such a thread a "why care" response to a question is a mystery to me.

  22. Re:CHANGE THE "FREE" BIT! on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 1

    It's NOT ownership. It's free to license. That doesn't sound desirable to most users. "I've got a free license! Woo hoo! It may cost 6 bucks for a CD, but the license is free." Free Download is what home users care about. Mozilla needs to target it's site to the people who download Bonzi Buddy and other crap. This site makes it easy for people to download a copy of Firefox or Mozilla. This is a very nice redesign.

    That being said, I think it should say something like "Free Download--Won't Cause Popups"

    This is among the primary concern of home users nowadays. They don't care that malware is on their computer (unless it actively steals their credit card info), they only care about keeping the damn popups away.

  23. Re:free broadband access will make USA more libera on Philadelphia Considers Free Citywide Wireless Access · · Score: 3, Funny

    If that's the case, I'm sure the Homeland Security Dept will enforce a cap of about 5bps ;)

  24. Re:Original? on "Scotty" Gets Walk of Fame Star · · Score: -1

    Well, there was/will be Welshy, but that's the future, or parallel universe, either way, talk to the Enterprise guys.

  25. Hope you're skilled on How Do I Disable My Gadgets' LEDs? · · Score: 1

    with a soldering iron. That's what I did to my PowerMac's white LED. Damn thing was WAY too bright, and I didn't like shutting down since bootup took too long (especially when I needed to shoot off multiple "I woke up late" emails :)

    It's rather like a vasectomy for a Mac, moreso since it's reversible.
