  1. uh on Coffee Flavored Breakfast Cereal · · Score: 3, Informative

    Strawberries and milk.

    Do your homework.

  2. OH YOUR GOD!!! on Off-The-Shelf Online Music Stores · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you see a story you don't like, ignore it. Don't come here and tell us that you don't like it. We don't care.

    You really need to relax if a slashdot story is making you whip out the exclamation points like that. It's not the end of the world, calm down.

    Fine, I understand if it's interesting to many people. But on the front page every day?!?

    Yes, for the reasons you stated.

  3. actually on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 1

    I'm a heavy drinker, but I don't drink wine.

    Regarding the nail clipper, I don't know if you could open wine with it, but you can open beer bottles by wedging one edge of it under the cap while holding it around the neck with one hand. Use your index finger of the holding hand as the fulcrum and pry the top off.

    If you're ever on the run in a comic, just put on some glasses.

    "You've got the wrong man, officer. That guy wasn't wearing glasses."

    Works every time.

  6. nah on Spider-Man 2 Preview Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yahoo has more bandwidth than God, man. They're advertising this on their front page, so I imagine they're ready for some serious hits.

  7. damned corkscrews! on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is the corkscrew such a popular item on multitools? Are there really that many people opening wine away from home?

    My favorite Swiss Army knife has a phillips head screwdriver where the corkscrew usually is, and I find it infinitely more useful.

  8. uhm on The Life of a Spammer · · Score: 1

    Read the article. She doesn't send porn spam.

  9. Re:DUCK Tape on Archos Recorder + Rockbox Plays Video · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's a fairly good bit on the Duck vs. Duct argument.

  10. yes, there is on Microsoft Wins HTML App Patent · · Score: 1

    Uncheck "Enable JavaScript"

    If you don't want to go that far, Mozilla can prevent scripts from hiding the status bar.

  11. Re:Laptops are cool too on Emachines 64-bit Athlons Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    I run a 15.4" widescreen dell laptop at 1280x800.

    The battery generally lasts about 4 hours.

  12. not really on Microsoft Retires Windows 98 · · Score: 1

    It's not redundant in this conversation, it's redundant in general.

    "The sky is blue" is not +1 Informative.

    but it wil suck much faster.

  16. uhm on Microsoft Security Whitepaper · · Score: 1

    yes.

    Given that their entire business model relies on their source being closed, I'd say it's pretty damned important that they keep it that way.

  17. wellsir on Webservice Debugs Linux Binaries While-U-Wait · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your program may fail if invoked one way and work if you invoke it some other way.

    Hence this.

  18. no on Encrypted Cell Phone Hits the Market · · Score: 5, Funny

    real slashdotters don't have anyone to call in the first place

  19. uh huh on Windows Program Enables MP3 Downloading From iTunes · · Score: 1

    1) In #3 you say KDE is good. This does nothing for your credibility as a judge of aesthetics.

    2) DRM BAD!!! We can just steal whatever we need. Information wants to be stolen!

    3) See #1. Also, KDE is a bitch to set up on a Mac, and I'm not sure it can be done on Windows at all.

    4) Also see #1.

  20. just as good on Windows Program Enables MP3 Downloading From iTunes · · Score: 1

    1) Looks like ass to me.

    2) No music store.

    3) Requires KDE.

    4) No, really, it looks like ass.

    Also, sweet fucking christ that web page is terrible. Pink on green? Green text on a green background? Did they hire a monkey on a five day crack binge to design that?

  21. rrrright on Gangs Extort Companies With DDoS Attacks · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    irrelevant
    adj.
    Unrelated to the matter being considered.

    So that linked article was quite relevant. The fact that you don't agree with it doesn't change that.

    1. 185 degrees is too hot. There's really no debating that. Nobody can drink coffee that hot.
    2. Do you have any sources for this claim? Far too many comlpaints?
    3. If something causes third degree burns necessitating a skin graft, it's clearly not safe.

    Finally, spilling coffee is something that is likely to happen accidentally, bashing oneself upside the head with a phone is not. It's not as if this lady decided "hey, what the hell? I think I'll just dump this scalding hot coffee into my lap!"

  22. do your homework, son on Gangs Extort Companies With DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    It pays to know what you're talking about.

    McReality #1) That coffee was 185 degrees fahrenheit. Over 700 people complained about it.

    McReality #2) You can still get a hot cup of coffee at McDonald's

    McReality #3) McDonald's sold her a dangerous product. If I buy a phone that explodes when dropped, should the company be liable for damages if I drop it?

    they only run 80% of the online music business.

    They fail it!

  25. you're right on one point, anyway on Apple Makes no Profit from iTunes · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt the availability of multiple operating systems played much of a role in the success of the PC. The fact that Windows only runs on a PC probably has more to do with it.

    Isn't Microsoft responsible for most of the hardware specifications for PCs, anyway?
