  1. Re:Does anyone know of (a) search engines that on Yahoo! Releases New Search Tool · · Score: 1

    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"

  2. Re:What if the situation were reversed? on EU Deadline Approaching for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about? That's like saying "don't blame a murderer, blame the murder." Linux isn't the one doing stuff illegal here.

  3. Trolls need to eat, too, you know.. on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 1

    Well, it was funny, but I didn't think it was that funny. However, your post sure has inspired me to try write even more funny comments! It sure will be difficult to beat your response, though. Thanks for the feedback!

  4. Re:Who will crack it first? on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 4, Funny

    C'mon, give them some credit. If you would've read the article you posted you would've noticed that you need a marker. And with a felt tip, no less!

  5. Or.. on The Diagnostic 'Bugbot' · · Score: 4, Funny

    This robot should be ready for human consumption within 2 to 3 years and opens the way for future nanorobots.

    At least.. I hope that's how it goes in..

  6. Re:Before you read the article on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    I know where I'm hiding my nailclippers.

  7. Re:huh? on Keep Fit Program For The Brain · · Score: 1

    Are they suggesting that I eat my own brain to become really smart?!?

    If you're dumb enough to eat your own brain...

  8. Blatant omissions? on Time Picks Top 100 Films · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't see Police Academys 1 through 7 on the list.

  9. Re:I think he'll get sued but... on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    A closer metaphor would be yellow pages with an "Illicit Drugs" section.

  10. I'm confused.. on BBS Documentary Now Shipping · · Score: 4, Funny

    On a personal note, I can't wait to get my preordered copy! I've been looking forward to this documentary more so than HHGTG and Star Wars ROTS.

    Does this make him more geeky or less geeky?

  11. Re:Upgrade on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Unless he's waiting for the Capybara release.

  12. Re:failed sarcasm = speaker's fault, not listener on Researchers Pinpoint Brain's Sarcasm Sensor · · Score: 1

    This is why sarcasm doesn't work online, by the way - the speaker is a stranger to you and so you don't know he's smart enough not to believe something dumb, and so step 4 up above doesn't trigger.

    And that would especially explain why sarcasm doesn't work well on slashdot.

    Hey, come on.. don't mod me down. I was being sarcastic--I swear!

  13. Re:This is hardly news. on Wormholes Unstable (BBC) · · Score: 2, Funny

    I get all *my* scientific knowledge from 'Enterprise'...

    Gee, I have some really bad news for you...

  14. Re:BitTorrent's fault? on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 1

    I could have sworn I hit "Preview" :)

  15. BitTorrent's fault? on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 4, Informative

    I could have swore it was leaked by there own employees. But it's BitTorrent's fault, you say?

  16. Re:There it is! on Google's New Personalized Homepage · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are you kidding?? I can't wait until this page gets an RSS feed!

    Useless trivia: that page is actually the #1 hit (on Google, of course) for "seizure"

  17. Re:Its far from over though ... on Canadian Music Swappers Win Court Battle · · Score: 1

    I would usually agree, but I still feel safer with Martin in office than having Stephen Harper be our prime minister (although it looks like Liberals are up in the polls again).

  18. Re:Canopy Group? on SEC Investigating SCO? · · Score: 1

    I don't know, but it's probably the same reason as me. :)

  19. Re:Wow.... on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 1

    You don't really expect them to pay $4 a chipset do you? It's only fair that the big boys try to circumvent the patent system.. er.. "break the patent".

  20. Re:hypocrisy on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think it's great how the system works. Large corporations with large patent portfolios can squeeze money out of, or totally bankrupt, small businesses that can't afford to license patents from the Big Guys. Also, if the Big Guys ever run into a patent they don't like, they can just get together and try to break the patent so that they can use the technology for free!

  21. Re:A little help? on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: -1, Redundant

    FTA, it sounds like a research organization funded and/or operated by the Australian government.. and according to Wikipedia, I'm not far off.

  22. Let me get this one... on Slashback: Hollywood, Commons, Misidentification · · Score: 2, Funny
  23. Re:Update process... on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 2, Informative

    It wouldn't, but we wouldn't be able to try the *new* update system until we upgrade to 1.1 (with the new update system) and *then* get 1.1.1.

  24. Re:Language Not Available!! on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 1

    Why don't you upgrade your language from British English to American English?

    But that would be like upgrading from Firefox to IE. I fail to see how that would solve any problems.

  25. Re:Update process... on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 1

    Which, of course, means we can't use the new update system until we upgrade to 1.1.1. I sure hope 1.1 is full of holes so we can try it out right away :)
