  1. Re:Im pirating ASAP! on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, when you download this cracked version are you going to go out and buy the game (that you returned) again? If so, I'd say fair enough. If not you add to the number of people that caused the activation process in the first place.

  2. Re: Mozilla Thunderbird! on No-Click Phishing On The Way · · Score: 1
    Did you read the article? It says " the most recent versions of Outlook, where such features are switched off as standard, will be protected."
    What's your point? This is a minority group among Outlook/Outlook Express users. Most users of O/OE are using it because it's what came with the computer. They don't tend to know any better.
  3. Re:Oh, the irony - slashdot talking about standard on Standards-Based CSS/XHTML Slide Show · · Score: 1

    That's probably why it's slow, buggy and crash-prone.

    Great, the one place i go to get away from advertising and commercials is video games

    You're kidding right? I thought most people played video games to blow shit up?

  5. Port Linux on Russian Mock Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    Port the linux kernel to that PDA from Doom3.

  6. Humans at the top of the food chain? on Genetically-Modified Everything · · Score: 1
    I mean, I know we're at the top of the "food chain," and we're clever and everything
    You don't get out much do you? Have you even seen the people outside your door in the last 10 years?
  7. Re:Salesforce.com on Large Scale Web Apps Built on Open Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why not? You can already run on WIMP.

  8. Re:Steam is handy, I think on No Half-Life 2 on Steam? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why was he running a known vulnerable piece of software on it?

    The game is developed on Windows right? Makes it kind of hard to avoid the "known vulnerable piece of software"...

    I guess you're becoming a minority...

  10. Re:I want a copy! on Cut-Rate Windows 'XP Starter Edition' in Thailand · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why? Are you retarded or something?

  11. Powerhouse Museum on Australian Computer Museum Needs a Saviour · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm surprised the Powerhouse Museum hasn't stepped in to field this one. It's the sort of thing I'd have expected to find there...

  12. Re:Linux on Three Vulnerabilities Discovered in Real Player · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I take it you don't know _anyone_ that uses linux then?

  13. Re:DON'T SHOOT ME, BUT WHAT ABOUT FRONT PAGE? on How to Set Up a Gift Website? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I don't see any reason here not to shoot.

    1. You suggested Frontpage.
    2. Your suggestions are off topic (Frontpage is _not_ a CMS.)
    3. You suggested Frontpage.
    4. You suggested MSWord!

    On a more serious note though. Typically a CMS can be posted too/edited from anywhere. Relying on a particular piece of software would restrict where you can edit the site from. Makes it a little more difficult to post to the site on holiday etc.

  14. Are people actually surprise? on WVG : The New Scalable Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    MSHTML

    It was only a matter of time.

  15. Re:Is everyone really missing the point? on WVG : The New Scalable Vector Graphics · · Score: 2, Informative

    So? SVG isn't a "Web Standard" either. It's an image format. The fact W3C are maintaining the standard is irrelavant. KDE (and others?) support SVG internally without having to butcher the standard...

  16. Re:The real reason this is important... on WVG : The New Scalable Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    ...the reason this is important is because client-side apps will be using this to draw their interfaces. WVG is the new way to do UI in Longhorn...

    So? KDE is heading that way with SVG. They could still stick to the standard though. The bitching about MS-SVG still stands.

  17. Re:So... on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From the About page;
    "The Open CD project aims to introduce users of MS-Windows to the benefits of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)."

    Don't you think users of an OSS OS would already be aware of these benefits?

  18. Re:Valve might have something to say about that on Lawsuit Against Microsoft Over Insecure Software · · Score: 1
    Though I'm not sure what they were thinking having the preview pane enabled.
    I'm wondering what they were thinking running any flavor of Outlook at all...
