  1. Re:Type-ahead Find on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Right, Internet Explorer does autocomplete on forms. I'm talking about something completely different.

    Of course it's not the same thing, silly :P

  2. Re:Type-ahead Find on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Typeahead rocks my socks, but the Mozilla team didn't invent it. Internet Explorer for the Mac has had this for quite some time.

    A trivial point, maybe, and I certainly agree that Mozilla is innovative, but they weren't first in this case.

  3. pinstripe theme on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Note that if you're using the pinstripe theme, you've got to use the one made for nightlies.

    I don't know why.

    First thing I noticed.

    "...along with every heterosexual Slashdot poster..."

    Every troll should know that there's no such thing as a heterosexual slashdot poster, you silly goose.

    Nobody likes my jokes.

  5. is this really a question? on The End Of Minix? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If there have been no users since 1996, is there really a need for the question mark in this article's headline?

  6. what's the alternative? on RMS Weighs In On BitKeeper · · Score: 5, Insightful
    "What would be even better is if it convinced free software people to develop a tool as good as, or better than, Bitkeeper," -- Rik van Riel.


    Well spoken, Rik. Until RMS can propose an alternative to BitKeeper, he's just pissing in the wind.

    Of course, he has every right to piss in the wind as much as he likes.

    Relax, it's only karma.

    I got your joke and thought it was quite funny, hence my reply with a glib joke in the same vein.

    Mods will be mods, and jokes won't always be appreciated. Such is slashdot. You'll be a lot happier here if you don't look at moderation totals as an index of your comments' validity.

    Ever forward, my good man.

    What about just saying "I don't want to talk to you anymore."?

    Works every time.

  9. Re:some helpful links on Gentoo Linux Reloaded · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Given that gentoo.org is linked to in the article, is this really all that informative?

    If someone couldn't find this stuff on their own, they're not likely to be capable of building and installing gentoo.

    E-Z Karma formula: Find stuff one click away from the link in the article, list it here.

    Now that's +1 Informative!

  10. Re:Bob Barker on Come on Up (to the ISS) You're the Next Contestant · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What do you have against Bob Barker?

    I'm just asking cause he's my hero. He's a snappy dresser, always surrounded by foxy ladies. He's got that $100 bill in his pocket in case you get the price right. He spays and/or neuters his pets.

    Don't get me started on the skinny microphone.

    Bob Barker. Original pimp.

  11. No Carrier on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 1

    ifconfig on a FreeBSD box with a dead ethernet link will give you status: no carrier

    Your mileage will undoubtedly vary on another os.

    But neither of those laptoops has a digital camera attached.

  14. your sig/homepage link [totally OT] on ENUM Protocol in Australia? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just out of curiousity, do you really think the slashdot crowd is going to want to "get paid to read bulk email"?

    That's like going into the Vatican and asking if anyone wants to come sacrifice some goats to Baal.

  15. Re:Competition on Review of SuSE 8.1 Professional · · Score: 1

    What you advocate is exactly what Microsoft advocates: total domination by one operating system. They're fanatical for money, you're fanatical for ideals. It's really not that different. Fanatacism isn't going to win the "war", a good operating system is.

    So why don't you stop crying for the head of Bill Gates and start working on improving Linux?

  16. Re:Time Traveler on High Score · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, I remember that game. I remember how bad it sucked. Basically the same thing as Dragon's Lair: you pay quarters to watch a movie and hit a button at the appropriate time.

    Innovative? Sure. But it certainly wasn't a good game.

  20. Re:Refresh is evil on Declaring The Death of Metatags · · Score: 1

    Sites like VersionTracker that are updated very frequently use refreshes. It's pretty handy.

    I don't think the fact that you can always hit the reload button delegitimizes http refreshes.

  21. Re:redirects/refreshes? on Declaring The Death of Metatags · · Score: 3, Informative

    Use url rewriting for redirects, it saves on HTTP transactions.

    Eventually the butter would dry up, leaving the toast bare.
