  1. Re:Confused? on Linux For Supervillains · · Score: 1

    It great that it's possible to do it several ways but imagine explaining it to somebody over the telephone. Your explanation versus; dude, just say yes when it explicitly asks you if you want to install Shockwave.

  2. Re:Confused? on Linux For Supervillains · · Score: 1

    Damn, who would have thought that installing Flash could be that easy. Just type in a 80 char command and voila you have Flash installed. I wonder why everybody hasn't switched to Linux yet :D

  3. Re:borgware? on Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Give me mod points to mod this dude up!

  4. Re:Anyone ran NERO? on Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games · · Score: 1
  5. My Son! on Robot Catches High Speed Objects · · Score: 1

    Now I have somebody to play catch with :)

  6. Re:Oh Joy! An MP3 player! on A Serious Contender for the Couch Throne · · Score: 1

    Yes, it has Linux so it's super cool and nothing else has preceded it. It's a brand new concept and did I mention it's based on Linux. Wuhu, it's Linux so it must rule everything!

  7. Study on 125-Mile WiFi Connection · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I would be kind of nice to have a mile versus kilometer poll.

  8. Re:a philosophical contradiction? on New Linux Kernel Development Process · · Score: 1

    From what I've read here on Slashdot, Linux is super stable. *Gosh* could that be a fantasy? Bring on the flame mods!

  9. Excuse me... on If Microsoft Went Open Source · · Score: 1

    But that is just a plain idiotic dream. Microsoft will never go open source because it disables them to sell their products. Why pay for a product when you can download it for free. Pointless story and a waste of time if you ask me and now I'll probably be modded as troll.

  10. Re:Hey you Danes ... on Canada and Denmark using Google as Battleground · · Score: 1

    It's ridiculous to say that Canada own Hans Island simply because of the name. Hans is a classic danish name. I'd see why Canada should have the island if it was named Johns Island, Gilbert Island, etc. because those aren't danish.

  11. Re:Throw out $400 PC vs Keep $500 MacMini on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1

    Well, you couldn't run cutting edge games on a Mac.

  12. Re:Great on Lucas's New HQ · · Score: 1

    I compared the quality of work of Lars von Trier to Geroge Lucas. What's your opinion though?

  13. Re:Great on Lucas's New HQ · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You're right. Star Wars episode 3 was very boring and childish. Lars von Trier has produced better films, like Dogville, on a low budget. A good film is not about the special effects but the story. Star Wars caved in at the last episode.

  14. .Net on Pure JavaScript Unix-Like Web Based OS · · Score: 1

    I wonder when Windows built on .Net is released?

  15. Re:People on Inside the OpenSolaris Source Code · · Score: 1

    ...or Gord Bowman?

  16. People on Inside the OpenSolaris Source Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Could Gord be http://slashdot.org/~Gord I wonder.

  17. Re:How's the install? on OpenBSD 3.7 Released · · Score: 1

    OMFG you're right :) Hope you all get my point anyhow :)

  18. Re:How's the install? on OpenBSD 3.7 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Having virtually no experience with FreeBSD I fail to see the ease in creating a disc label by reading a 100+ KB documentation. Hate to say it but FreeBSD will never be mainstream, i.e. be popular, with those kind of assumptions. Hope someone in the community will finally take notice instead of babbling on how fine FreeBSD is.

  19. Re:Is it me? on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 1

    You forgot the TI-82 :) I'm no math genius but I just like that the chances for errors are reduced.

  20. Re:Is it me? on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 1

    Call it whatever you like but normal mode still produce an incorrect result so why no just calculate the scientific way? I'm sure current computers can handle it without any noticeable delay.

  21. Re:Is it me? on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 1

    Sorry to sound obnoxious but that is just plain Microsoft stupidity. If I specify no files types then I'd expect it to search all files. Geesh!

  22. Re:Is it me? on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Another funny thing about Windows is the calculator. Try to calculate 1+2*3 in standard mode and the repeat the process in scientific mode. Different results :)

  23. Is it me? on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it me or is the standard Windows search utterly useless? Searching for text in files *never* return results even though I'm sure the text exist. That's why I've switches to Agent Ransack that does the job right. I'll bet this new super search enginge is nothing more than a fix to the pointless search tool in Explorer.

  24. Servant on Robots to Help the Blind · · Score: 1

    Simple answer is no as posted above. But there might be a market for people with sight to have one of these robots acting as shopping servant.

  25. LinWin on WineConf 2005 Sets Deadline for Wine 0.9 · · Score: 1

    What I'd like to see is a Linux distribution centered around Wine so we all get the best of two worlds for gratis.
