  1. Re:Duplicate! on What's Next At Apple · · Score: 4, Funny

    They don't count as a real Apple rumor site until they either receive a C&D or have a lawsuit filed against them...

  2. Re:Two words: Proof read on Professor Finds Fault with MS Grammar Checker · · Score: 1

    I hate to say this, but it's actually one word -- proofread.

  3. Re:Inadequate Reporting? on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1

    Well then, why is anyone surprised that they lied?

  4. Re:There should be more online awards given....... on 2005 Hugo Nominations · · Score: 1

    I'm the sort of cunt that loves telling people I've read Gravity's Rainbow.

    Oh yeah? Well, I'm the sort of cunt who likes to tell people that I've read Go, Dog, Go! and Hop on Pop, in the same day no less...

  5. Re:What is the patent? on PlayStation Sales Halted? · · Score: 1

    I haven't followed this case, so I may be totally wrong on all accounts here. But I seem to recall reading that the Rumble Pak didn't infringe because it was an add-on to the controller. For the GC controllers, though, Nintendo licensed the technology.

  6. Re:Who is approving these? on VoIP Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Why is this "news"?

    Are you implying that things that have happened in the past aren't news? It may not be new news, but it's still news...Then again, I'm sure with some digging somebody can find the original /. article about this that was posted in August (and September, and again in October)... : p

  7. Looks to be... on Cell Phone with Built-in Projector · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Looks to be yet another solution in search of a problem...Don't get me wrong, I'm sure something useful will evolve out of this tech at some point..

  8. Re:I have three older Apples... on Apple Easter Egg · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...afterward, I began acquainting myself with PCs so I could run Linux.

    Rather than running linux on the machines you already had?

    That's the British spelling, moran!

    Yeah, I can't for the life of me figure out why they're not playing any new oldies...

    I'm gonna be really scared when MS puts those things into the autocorrect feature in Word...

  12. Re:The clones were better than Apple's machines on Re-Imagining Apple · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Having supported some of the Power Computing machines, I'll vouch for Rebeka. Many of those machines were absolute crap.

  13. Re:iSatan on Re-Imagining Apple · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the $666 pricetag of the Apple I.

  14. 1989-1996 on Re-Imagining Apple · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ahhh, yes, the prime era of Apple. Is this guy responsible for the wonderful internal design of the 8500 and 9500? (note: you had to essentially dismantle the entire machine to add RAM)

  15. Re:"Naked Cable" on Cable Equal Access Case Goes to Supreme Court · · Score: 4, Funny

    Doesn't your cable provider offer Cinemax?

    Wow, somebody's a bit dense...

  17. Re:yeah so? on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 2

    Ummm, Adobe invented postscript. I think that gives them the right to do whatever the fuck they want with it.

  18. Re:not so simple on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're referring to the web browser plugin. This is the PDFMaker toolbar that appears in Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.

  19. Re:Is this news? on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ahhh, but does it stay off when you quit and restart the program? My experience has been that it will always revert itself to on with a restart. This is with versions 4 and 6 (the two that I've used on my machine), so maybe it's been fixed in 7.

    Next on Slashdot, how to remove the MSNMessenger icon from your system tray!

  21. Re:Where is the line... on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Keep in mind that this isn't a "toolbar" along the lines of the Yahoo! toolbar or Google toolbar. This is one of the toolbars that only appears in Office apps. It provides three "Convert to PDF" buttons. It doesn't log anything. It doesn't track anything. It simply converts documents to PDF when you click it.

  22. Re:Not just 6 and 7 on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 5, Informative

    IIRC, it's the PDFMaker.dot file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup.

    i've had it out once, but i cant say that makes me familiar with it :) i love the size though!

    what exactly are you talking about here?

  24. Re:No TRS-80's? on A History of Portable Computing · · Score: 1

    I was going to ask about these, too. Decent little word processing machines that ran on AA batteries.
