  1. Re:Microsoft to remove the @ symbol from URLs on Microsoft Advises to Type in URLs Rather than Click · · Score: 1

    And that doesn't get annoying? Of course I want to proceed! That's why it's in the URL!

  2. If anyone's having trouble getting in.... on World of Warcraft Beta To Begin · · Score: 1

    try www.blizzard.com rather than www.battle.net.

  3. Re:If you aren't on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    Isn't the toolbar basically functionality built in to most other browsers? Like, say, Safari?

  4. Re:Anti-MS mods are at it again on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    I think, for things like this, it's that stories for stuff that exists get posted, not stories for stuff that will exist.

  5. Re:looking at the races... on World of Warcraft Beta To Begin · · Score: 1

    4. They'll add them in at some point, but they aren't in yet.
    5. They're considered part of the human alliance (maybe).

  6. Re:Only for Canada, Korea, and the US... on World of Warcraft Beta To Begin · · Score: 1

    Why in the world Blizzard decided to make D2 so serverdependent is beyond me though.

    Characters stored on servers means that you can't hex edit your character, which was all the rage in D1.

    Ever see someone wearing 3 copies of the same piece of BODY ARMOR in the armor, helmet, and shield slots?

    Granted, there are different hacks, but they're easier to control now.

  7. Re:Some of you called 'boycott' last year... on World of Warcraft Beta To Begin · · Score: 1

    Actually, I remember being pretty pissed at the time that the bnetd people thought they could do what they were doing.

    It was violating the EULA. If anyone here doesn't believe in licenses, then you support neither open source (GPL, et al) nor closed source (EULAs and such) software.

  8. Re:Apache 2.0? on Apple Releases Security Update 2004-01-26 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Who's the dumbass mod who modded that offtopic? Apache was just updated. I'm asking about if Apache will be updated to 2.0. Hello?

    In any case, thanks for the responses.

  9. Apache 2.0? on Apple Releases Security Update 2004-01-26 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Anyone know if/when Apple will incorporate Apache 2.0? Or if there would be any use to doing so?

  10. Re:Clearly Ethics are on the Supermarkets' Side on Stores Use Discount Cards To Notify Of Recall · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I liked the name of the organization too. Some people are just so desparate to be recognized for something....

    Heh.

  11. Letter from a food store.. on Stores Use Discount Cards To Notify Of Recall · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Dear Valued Customer,

    Our records show that on 1/6/04 you purchased 2.5 pounds of beef at our store in Seattle. It has come to our attention that this beef may have come from a suspect supplier, and there's a chance it may have mad cow disease. You are welcome to return your purchase to the store for store credit, whereupon it will be destroyed.

    We obtained your contact information from your "frequent shopper" card. If you feel this is a violation of privacy, please disregard this notice.

    Signed,

    Some Supermarket Chain

  12. She's 14?! on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    Damn. She don't look 14.

    Is anyone else planning on switching to Pepsi for the duration of the promotion for the sole purpose of iTunes songs? This is one tie-in that I actually care about (and will work on me).

  13. The pictures leave something to be desired... on RedOctane Pushes DDR For Weight Loss Market · · Score: 1

    like lighting, resolution, and a decent angle of the subject. Same hair color wouldn't hurt, either.

  14. Re:Finally something shows up... on iCal 1.5.2 Released · · Score: 1

    I don't actually remember. Seems like it's been a while, though.

  15. Finally something shows up... on iCal 1.5.2 Released · · Score: 1

    and it's iCal. I like to see an update every now and then (you know, because 2 months without _anything_ just seems creepy), but iCal? That's it?

  16. Re:Useful for me... on Windows that Double as LCD Monitors · · Score: 1

    I just need to point out, that depending on how you take "generously proportioned", it could mean several different things. Even on a guy.

  17. Re:I'm not paying $50 for iLife 04! on Apple Justifies iLife Price Tag · · Score: 1

    You do know Apple sometimes audits, right?

  18. Re:What about those that bought a mac on jan 5th? on Apple Justifies iLife Price Tag · · Score: 1

    What do you want Apple to do, not upgrade their hardware?

  19. Re:Hypocrit on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 1

    Heh. Must suck to have an ugly, Mac-loving wife when you're a Windows-loving webmaster whose website doesn't validate.

  20. Betcha this doesn't get posted on _that_ site :) on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 1

    Hey Paul, thanks for being such a dumbass. It gives us at slashdot something to ridicule on a regular basis.

    Oh, and whoever's running the website needs to learn how to make it more readable.

  21. Re:Best apple advice you'll ever hear.. on Apple Users Threaten to Sue Over iBook, iPod · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's actually pretty clever. I suppose you kinda have to find someone to buy the old one, but you're right, 1-year-old Apple notebooks don't drop very much. Just have a place to back up your data and you're all set.

    Here's hoping the Apple mods give you a +1, insightful.

  22. Glad I have an old iBook :) on Apple Users Threaten to Sue Over iBook, iPod · · Score: 1

    I have a key lime iBook (the 466MHz "SE" G3 clamshell). I've used it as an umbrella, a briefcase, and a place to spill soda. My question is...

    WHY DOES IT STILL RUN?!

  23. Re:OS X: Like Linux, but a whole lot slower... on 100 Years of Macintosh · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on. You have no right to rant. I'm on a 466MHz iBook, maxed out at 320MB RAM, and 10.3 is doing just fine. Thoth gives me trouble with newsgroups containing 100,000+ articles, but then I just quit the Finder.

  24. One of the weirdest stories ever... on 100 Years of Macintosh · · Score: 4, Funny
    1. There is no article.
    2. The story is cool anyway.
    3. Most of the comments (in my threshold, 1+, anyway) are actually funny.
    4. Pudge posted this on time. This means that either he a) lives in PST and spent midnight posting this, or b) lives elsewhere and stayed up so he could post this.
  25. Re:Dear Apple, on 100 Years of Macintosh · · Score: 1

    I'd have to agree. The only time(s) said troll is funny is when the troll response gets posted before the original troll.
