  1. 3d interfaces on 3D User Interfaces · · Score: 3, Funny

    My UI is already 3D (the third dimension being time).

  2. Hmmm on Strained Silicon to Perpetuate Moore's Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    24% does not perpetuate moores law.

  3. Re:So the have to get a warrant on Australian Police Given Power To Use Spyware · · Score: 1

    A wiretap on your net connection won't let them see unencrypted IM or Email conversations you have.

    Let me add two words to my post: In principal, how is this any different from a legally obtained wiretap?

  5. Re:RBL on China and its Relation With Spam · · Score: 0, Troll

    Isn't there some way we can identify the entire Chinese IP block

    Here it is: 0.0.0.0/7 (7 is China's country code - deny all from this and you will receive no spam from China)

  6. Re:Comparison with Windows on Xandros Desktop OS 3 Deluxe Edition Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I find it telling that a Linux distro compares installation and configuration against the ease of Windows...but I think this is an example of how far Linux has to go.

    And how far it has come. Perhaps you didn't use Linux when its compatibilty sucked and installation was not point and click.

  7. "bread of cars" on Formula One Racing Just a Matter of Crunching the Numbers · · Score: 2, Funny

    mmmmmmmmmmm....car bread, tastiest of all breads.

  8. They just use standard FOSS philosphophy on Inside an Adware Company · · Score: 5, Funny

  9. Truth in advertising? on Truth in Advertising? · · Score: 1

    Is that a rhetorical question?

  10. Re:Maybe they did prefer FreeDOS on HP Sells Cheap FreeDOS PC in China · · Score: 2, Funny

    >> They probably didn't want the support burden of bundling the PC with a Linux distribution.

    > Have you considered they might prefer FreeDOS, and deem it the best solution compared with other alternatives such as Linux,


    Uh, no, you are both wrong. They were just tired of hearing all the rinux jokes.

  11. Uh on HP Sells Cheap FreeDOS PC in China · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is $483US really cheap in China?

  12. That's not the hard way on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 3, Funny

    Manually deleting them one by one is the hard way.

  13. They just need to follow ./'s lead on Is RSS Doomed by Popularity? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And institute jackboot banning policies if you access them more than x times per y hours.

  14. Re:Great! on One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Returns to Chicago · · Score: 2, Funny

    And so what about the 99.9% of us who DONT live in Chicago?

    And so what about the 0.000001% of us who DONT use Windows?

  15. Re:In rap form: on One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Returns to Chicago · · Score: 4, Informative

    Pretty slow right now (or maybe it's just my network), but you can see what this is from here (click on 'watch film'). One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

  16. Re:I'd be happy on The Illiteracy of Corporate American E-Mail · · Score: 1

    >Actually, you'd be better off breaking the material into sensible bits,

    Actually, it's merely annoying,


    Agreed. Whenever I get a response to an email that's broken down like that, I can't help but think I am dealing with some tired old usenet hippy (or a guru wannabe) who takes no greater pleasure than ripping apart your post point by point.

  17. Heh on The Illiteracy of Corporate American E-Mail · · Score: 2, Funny

    Funny this story being on Slashdot. If email had editors, maybe they wouldn't be so bad.

  18. Yearly story on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This survey has come out at least once a year for as long as I can remember. "US kids lack in X discipline." Next up: US childhood obesity is the rise.

  19. At last! on Profiting from Open Source Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    This article defines "2. ????". Dare I read it?

  20. How nice on Programmer Built Vote-Rigging Demo for Florida Politician · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They can be hacked. News at 11. Maybe we should have another election. We can all put a red marble in a jar for GW and a blue marble for JK. The perfect infallable voting system.

  21. Seems logical on Too Many Computers Hurt Learning · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Computers make figuring out things too damn easy these days. Back in the day, you had to expend effort to learn things, now it's just googling 'thomas jefferson' or what not to do your reasearch paper.

  22. Queue up on VOIP Meets Cell Phones · · Score: 0

  23. Hmmmm on China Blocking Access to Google News Site · · Score: 3, Funny
