  1. Re:Windows XP fo $45? on Microsoft Profit and Loss by Business Area · · Score: 2

    I thought I.E. was part of Windows? Oh, hold on..

  2. Doom III on Plasma TVs for Video Games? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Insert obligatory Doom III reference here..

  3. Re:Phew on Evolution Reaches A New Milestone · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can now have it play a sound on receipt of any incoming mail.

    I will go to Hell for this. Sorry.

  4. Redundant Case on New TiBook Handle Also Sports a Stand · · Score: 2

    It says on the site that this handle does away with "bulky carry cases". However, whaddya do when it starts to rain?

  5. Changing Components? on SGI Introduces World's Densest Server · · Score: 2

    I don't know much about hardware, but wouldn't this be a bit of a pain to sort out if one of the components blows?

  6. Re:ASCII Only? on Just One Page a Day · · Score: 2

    What about DocBook, which features encoding for books in both SGML and XML? It was devised for computing books, but one imagines it would not be too hard to devise a standard to apply to all works of literature.

  7. Re:Sheesh... on Landshark · · Score: 4, Funny

    Of course not! This thing goes 200mph, whilst the Slashdot effect travels at the speed of dark, which is just ever so slightly faster that the speed of light.

  8. Re:Holy frug... on Phoenix Project Considers A Name Change · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like an aeroplane to me..

  9. Re:Local Link for Router Owners on Vulnerability In Linksys Cable/DSL Router · · Score: 2

    I'd never even thought about it like that. I suppose I should alter "own" to "are unfortunate enough to use"...

    Personally, I think it's a complete pain in the arse having to use IE[5|*], as I had to use another computer on my home network in order to upgrade the firmware (Linux not available), even though the applet use on this page should be cross-platform.

  10. Re:Remind Us! on Leonid Meteor Shower 2002 · · Score: 2

    If you post on slashdot, you don't have to worry about any kind of sex, meaningless or otherwise.

    Oh, hold on..

  11. Parachute? on Ultimate Sleds? · · Score: 2

    For that dragster feel...

  12. Local Link for Router Owners on Vulnerability In Linksys Cable/DSL Router · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you own this router and you own IE 5 or above, please visit this upgrade page, substituting the IP of your modem for 192.168.1.1 [Default].

  13. Support? on Vulnerability In Linksys Cable/DSL Router · · Score: 2

    I own this product, so have decided to upgrade the firmware. Since I'm running Debian, I clicked the "Other Operating Systems" link on the firmware download page, only to be presented with a ZIP archive containing a Windows executable! Is this some kind of sick joke?

  14. Re:if THAT is considered news... on Competiton: Mozilla's 200,000th Bug · · Score: 4, Funny

    10,000,000th since when? Oh wait, that's gotta be since the beginning of November, right?

  15. Re:estimation on Competiton: Mozilla's 200,000th Bug · · Score: 2

    The bug database isn't just defects in the build, but also requested features.

  16. Re:How about de-branding KDE? on KDE Developer Sirtaj Singh Kang Interviewed · · Score: 2

    This post shows the K of KDE to stand for "Kool". I remember reading elsewhere that the K was used due to its proximity to the L of "Linux", therefore making the assertion that KDE is closely linked to Linux. Unfortunately, after a brief Google, I haven't managed to find it.

  17. Re:Sorry boys on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 5, Funny

    >blockquote>I have to go and install some v.slow and large application to load them.

    How is this any different from Word Documents?

  18. Re:brak.slashdot.org?!?!?!? on Slashdot is Moving. Help Load Test! · · Score: 2

    Since they're load-testing, I thought it was Taco's attempt to spell "break"!

  19. Is it Me? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Or does the Gnu on the front page look like it's toking on a big joint?

  20. From one extreme... on Cool Work Shirts? · · Score: 3, Funny

    .. to the other.

    First you go in casual, next you're going in wearing a Tux?

  21. Re:Actually, on Felten Follower Examines Crippled Music Disks · · Score: 2

    How about:

    Music disks with reading difficulties?

  22. Re:Director's Cut? on LOTR Director's Cut Reviewed · · Score: 2

    And Legolas would fire a bazooka through Orthanc, blowing up a sheep on the other side.

  23. Re:Idea for spooking people on Build Your Own Carnival Ride · · Score: 2

    <m$-bash>

    Just setup a real Windows 98 machine. Then you'd get the benefit of seeing people's faces when it crashed for real. :-)

    </m$-bash>

  24. Sounds like... on AMD Talks About Internal Benchmarks for Opterons · · Score: 1

    an episode of Transformers..

  25. Re:Earth, not War: Ah the usual suspects BIG OIL ! on When Alcohol And Airplanes Make A Good Mix · · Score: 2

    If Iraq was only about getting OIL for the sake of BIG OIL then couldn't we simply lift sanctions instead of going to war?

    Not with Hussein still in charge. There's no way he's going to let the United States drill Iraq for oil.
