  1. Re:Windows classic interface? on Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    I love Ubuntu but hate this Unity nonsense, I am now using Xubuntu and could not be happier. Diversity is good!

  2. Re:They got it all wrong on Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe you have to the windows key or send your mouse pointer to the lower left corner of your screen to bring it up. Hiding everything and let the clueless user guess what to do is the next step in computer usability evolution, or the latest mistake of the 800 pounds gorilla. Anyone knows how long gorillas live?

  3. Less eye candy on Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Funny

    more walled garden... still not enough to make me leave my Linux freedom that I enjoy so much.

  4. Caution is good on Falcon 9 Launch Aborted At Last Minute · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am glad to see this private enterprise is going with caution as opposed to rushing their launch no matter what. Microsoft and many other software companies can start to take notes. Looking forward to see a Falcon 9 servicing the ISS safely when ready.

  5. Not surprised... at all. on Facebook IPO Stumbles Out of the Gate · · Score: 1

    Who seriously did not see this coming from 1000 miles away. I would not invest a cent in this IPO, especially when the head of the company spends a billion in aquisition without consulting his board.

  6. Re:wrong, Wrong, WRONG!!!!! on AMD Trinity A10-4600M Processor Launched, Tested · · Score: 1

    Rough language but you nailed it.

  7. Canada is like a huge banana republic on Canadian Internet Surveillance Dies a Quiet, Lonely Death · · Score: 1

    Only better at hiding the corruption. It is so bad, especially here in Quebec, that I am starting to seriously consider to expat myself in another banana republic where it is always sunny and living is cheaper.

    Good one, +1 Funny

  9. Re:I work in the advertising industry on Dish Network Announces Prime Time TV With No Ads · · Score: 2

    If the practice get standardized, we can just install black cardboard on the bottom 10% of our screens!

    Photoshop 6 == Photoshop CS1, the CS is quite important here.

  11. Re:Can someone explain to me on Pirate Party Gaining Strength In Germany · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It seems, fomr a very quick overview that Pirate Party is very interrested in giving people more power using new technologies and "direct democracy". That is very compelling to me, I will certainly join my local chapter. Thanks for the link.

  12. Re:Can someone explain to me on Pirate Party Gaining Strength In Germany · · Score: 2

    As a Canadian under a Tory government elected with fraud that got majority in parliement with around 1/3 of the votes, I can attest our political system is very archaic compared to europeans ones. I strongly believe we should adopt this model ASAP, but I am afraid I will have to expatriate to get a political system that somewhat works. Thanks for being on topic.

    Thank you sir. The thread is SO trashy, I tought about a little something constructive to help generate on topic conversation.

  14. Can someone explain to me on Pirate Party Gaining Strength In Germany · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Aside from the obvious position of the party concerning copyright and p2p technologies, what exactly are the Pirate Party political positions.

  15. Re:This happens more than you think on Missouri High School Principal Resigns After Posing As Student On Facebook · · Score: 0

    Just like in: "Why is this on Slashdot, this is old news...".

    But to say a house that has been built 2 months ago is old just not work.

    Old is very subjective depending who is talking and what we are talking about.

  16. Re:Meanwhile at the Globe and Mail on Database and IP Records Tie Election Fraud To Canada's Ruling Conservatives · · Score: 0

    Instightful +1, too bad I have no points left.

  17. Re:Structured fun on Active Video Games Don't Make Kids Exercise More · · Score: 1
    Today, everyone is living under fear.

    Sad, but true. There is always a risk no matter what you do. Being afraid to live is just sad... No surprise so many people (and kids...) are depressive today.

    One have to start somewhere...

  19. Re:BitCoin on North Korea's High-Tech Counterfeit $100 Bills · · Score: 1

    Where do the 30$ the other person gave you came from? Loaned from the fed.

    Just because you did not got the 30$ from a loan yourself, does not mean it did not came from the fed.

  21. Pebble bed reactor? on Bill Gates To Help China Build Traveling Wave Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere sometime ago China was researching a nuclear reactor design called Pebble Bed, made to be cheap, reliable and safe. Do someone with more knowledge in that field knows if it is a continuation of this program or a completely new design? Thank you.

    Just another pointless comment...

  25. Re:What a surprise on Introducing Students To the World of Open Source · · Score: 1

    I tried those editors, but got back to "notepad style" as it was much more quick to make the website do exactly what I want. Easy and complicated, or hard and simple... Example : rollover in dreamweaver will create huge script libraries, preload functions, etc. I use CSS and one image with the two states in it. Instantaneous, works with noscript, and take one line of CSS...
