  1. Re:ARGH slashdot ate my code. Here is it again. on Migrating IE Web Apps to Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Is that actually illegal? I was trying to something like that this week and could only get it to work in IE, which was good enough since it was just for mock-up purposes.

    Also, thanks AC, I never thought to use :first-child.

  2. Re:I'm sorry... on Getting A Handle On Vista · · Score: 1

    I think you'd be very lucky if you *could* get it to run.

  3. Re:Of Course! on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 3, Funny

    There's not much different when you're coding C++ for Windows or Linux. Or Java. Or Perl. Or [insert language here].

    Visual Basic?

    *ducks*

  4. Re:Law enforcement on Using Google Maps to Get Out of a Traffic Ticket · · Score: 1

    No, no, the video said everything will be just fine if you pull over. Just duck and cover!

  5. Re:Not first step... on Online TV May Be IPTV's First Step · · Score: 1

    It's not the first step, but not because of the reasons you mentioned. SaskTel (provincial telephone company in Saskatchewan) has already had this service available for several years. I get my phone, TV an Internet althrough my phone line.

    Try googling for SaskTel Max. One particular link of interest is this: http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-3515636/Fo cal-launches-managed-Internet-access.html. The article really isn't about Max, but it's worth reading at least the headline: Article: Pace boxes Power SaskTel's Max Interactive Services largest deployment of TV over ADSL in North America.(Canada)

    So no, this isn't new. At least not in the corner of the Earth we call Saskatchewan.

    Touché.

  7. Re:Welcome to Slashdot... on Slashback: Archives, Leak, Fanfilm · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This reminds me of the movie "Basic Instinct", with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone (the movie where she shows her twat). Anyways, some lesbian-homo weirdo group, in protest that the movie makes lesbians look like werdios, decided to leak the ending. They group had people go to movie theaters and talk about the ending of the movie, while people waited in line to buy the tickets.

    What does this have to do with anything? I didn't see any mention of RMS trying to force the plotline down people's throats before they had a chance to read the book. I'm pretty sure RMS isn't gonna harass you while you wait in line for the next Harry Potter book.

  8. Re:Optimus Keyboard? on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wonder if it autobotically transforms the keyboard for whatever application is active.

  9. Re:Actually... on DECnet Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    Well, it certainly explains why most the channels I'm in are empty and why nobody talks in the ones that aren't empty.. at least not while I'm around.

  10. Re:I saw this one on Japan Probes Mysterious Vapor Eruption · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wikipedia seems to give an identifiable history with a lot of detail for both the ship and captain.

    That article was probably contributed by drunken pirates.

  11. Re:something's missing on Our Brains Don't Work Like Computers · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I was wondering what the hell was going on (and still am). When I could only find the link directly to the document the blurb was talking about I scanned over the blurb a couple more times looking for the primidi.com link.

    I wasn't until later that I actually noticed that Roland's name itself was the only link to primidi.com in the entire blurb. Weird, eh? Maybe he's trying to to get on our good sides.

  12. Re:End? on Amazon Patents User Viewing Histories · · Score: 1

    I only wish it was that easy. However, the simple fact remains that Amazon will still be able to legally get absurd patents.

  13. Re:Mirror on Google Launches Pay-Per-View Web Video · · Score: 1

    That's great, but I think you just slashdotted the extension.

    Interesting. Let me try (mod me troll).

    ...oh, shit!

  15. Re:Pirate ? on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 1

    You do realize that none of the above apply, right ?

    Maybe, but I'm willing to bet that Microsoft did a) before realising they could use the code for free.

  16. Re:How about... on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    "FTS" really rolls off the tongue just right...

    Which means it's probably trademarked.

    I'm sure something like QZX is still available, though.

  17. Re:Firefox tm policy and Debian tm policy v. simil on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 5, Funny

    In other news...

    The Debian development community is currently hotly debating whether the Debian Project's strict trademarks policy violates Debian's social contract.

    Oh, boy! I can't wait to see how this one turns out!

    Maybe I'm not getting the joke here, but didn't you have to think to write that last comment? It's not like you're just mashing the keyboard with your palm, you know. Give yourself more credit!

    Well, let's just say I didn't mean to accidentally swap two particular words in the second sentence of my original post. Do you still think I deserve more credit?

    And what if I type my email without thinking? You know, like I do for slashdot my comments.

    Linux on PPC users don't expect a flash player from Macromedia anytime soon, so continued GPLflash development is good for us.

    Good for you? You do know what Flash is, don't you?

  25. Re:Does anyone know of (a) search engines that on Yahoo! Releases New Search Tool · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Oops.. now with formatting:

    1. Google allows the use of '*' as a wildcard
    2. Google can let you search in certain languages (see the Advanced Search)
    3. Google has the option to do this if you go to the localized version. eg, for Germany you would go to www.google.de. From there you can choose to search "Seiten aus Deutschland"
