  1. Re:Dino Flights on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 1

    Obligatory Calvin and Hobbes.

  2. Reset Safari on Safari 4's Messy Trail · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is a bit sketchy, I will agree. However, it does appear like you can remove most of this. In the menu bar, click "Safari > Reset Safari." Make sure that reset top sites and "Remove all webpage preview images" is selected.

  3. Re:Always a source of amusment on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, Biden is making Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar

    I think you're being a little hyperbolic. I don't think Biden has ever suggested that we could breathe on Mars.

  4. Re:Nonsequitor in the summary on Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel · · Score: 1

    VII is easily the best

    You misspelled VI.

  5. Re:Well - Joe Dumbass will object on Obama Says 3% of GDP Should Fund Science Research And Development · · Score: 1

    Judging by other replies to this article, Joe Dumbass now reads Slashdot.

    Unless it was Blazers vs. Rockets last Saturday. bleh.

  7. Re:Stupid on NASA Names Space Station Treadmill After Colbert · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they foresaw the huge internet bitchfest that would result if they overturned the results of one group of internet zealots for another?

  8. Re:Not needed for server apps on Microsoft Launches Free Web Software Eco-System · · Score: 1

    Sigh. This isn't for servers. This is for developers. You know, the people who develop that which is eventually deployed to your precious servers, without which those servers would be useless â" as servers tend to require something to, you know, SERVE.

    Jesus. Server administrators should be happy about this. Let Joe Developer hack away at his Wordpress install on his local machine, rather than bugging you right away to install it on the server.

  9. Re:No Addons? on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Mashups on So Amazing, So Illegal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thank you. Well said. I think "the future of entertainment!!1!" is a bit overstating it, since entertainment has to be good on its face, rather than good based on how difficult it was to pull off - but that said, these are freaking amazing. Most Slashdot commentors right now are displaying are remarkable level of either knee-jerk negativism, get-off-my-lawn style myopia, or a shocking lack of understanding of just how difficult this was, technically.

    Seriously, slashdot: wtf? if you're not willing to approach this as a musical achievement, approach it as a technical achievement. It's a music and video hack, if you will. I see fewer negative posts in the style of "why would someone even want to?" when somebody retrofits an arcade cabinet with MAME or puts Linux on a digital watch.

  11. Re:In other news... on Young People Prefer "Sizzle Sounds" of MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    "McNeil-Lehrer News Hour"

    If you want to rag on the young-uns, it might be best not to use an example that went off the air 13 years ago.

  12. And so the cycle begins anew... on Apple Touch-Screen Netbook? · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Apple Product Cycle:

    "An obscure component manufacturer somewhere in the Pacific Rim announces a major order for some bleeding-edge piece of technology that could conceivably become part of an expensive, digital-lifestyle-enhancing nerd toy."

    Myspace does that.

  15. Re:Yes, RT on Best FOSS Help Desk Software For Small Firms? · · Score: 1

    In the modern world, well written web software can be customized to a large degree WITHOUT hacking core files.

  16. Re:Fighting over the same file on Apple's Mac OS X Update Breaks Perl · · Score: 1

    I second this. Makes it really easy to install eAccelerator/Xcache as well.

  17. Re:DRM? on Windows 7 Gaming Performance Tested · · Score: 1

    Flamebait, perhaps - but true nevertheless.

  18. Re:Good for employment, bad for productivity. on $30B IT Stimulus Will Create Almost 1 Million Jobs · · Score: 1

    Good post. And me without mod points. Sigh.

  19. Re:why is this surprising? on First Look At Windows 7 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    There is still more difference between Windows7 and Vista than there is between OS X 10.0 and OS X 10.5

    Heh. Please substantiate this claim. Perhaps you meant 10.4 and 10.5 (debatable) or 10.5 and the upcoming 10.6 (more debatable) but I think I would take umbrage with your initial assertion. UMBRAGE!

  20. Re:Duplicity: theres already a "utility parition" on New Xbox Experience Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty certain this feature was created just for Fable 2: that game does more disc seeking and has more stuttering problems due to the disc loading than any I've seen. Installing it to the hard drive seems to have improved load time and menu performance.

  21. Re:the best taskbar i could think of... on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    While you're using Expose in OS X, you can press tab or alt-tab and it will cycle through all your applications. Each time it cycles, it will be display all the open windows of each application at the same time...exactly what you're describing.

    Ahaha...this comment cracked me up. You must not do any client work, huh.

  23. Re:I am embarassed! at the mtv article on Stardock Evaluates DRM Complaints, Updates Gamer's Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    As has been previously mentioned in these comments, no one is really sure of the percentage of people who "could pay" but pirate instead. One thing is certain, however: it's not 0%. If you think that every single person who pirates a game is unable to pay for it, you are flat out wrong.

  24. Re:So... on Stardock Evaluates DRM Complaints, Updates Gamer's Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    Your assumptions are incorrect.

  25. Re:Good for him. on Publishing a Commercial iPhone Game, Start To Finish · · Score: 1

    +1 Funny!

    I can't decide whether this is in earnest, is an outright troll, or is a deliberate art piece meant to demonstrate the absurdity of talking points by bunching them all together.
