  1. Music on Searching by Image Instead of Keywords · · Score: 1

    So when can we search for music? I'm trying to find this song that goes like "dah daahh, dumpiti, dum dum"? Any answers?

  2. *sigh* on The Institute for Backup Trauma · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why's it streaming video *sigh*? I guess it's because of advertising and stuff but streaming video sucks! Can't stream properly when slashdottet, can't email to friends, can't save to harddisk. For all you (other) webmonkeys, here's a word of advice; make a non-streamable version so more people will enjoy this (perhaps) fine video.

    Your sincerely
    An unsatisfied 4 MB Internet user.

  3. Re:But does it pass the ACID2 Test? on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If no browser passes the Acid2 test how was the reference rendering made?

  4. Finally on AutoPackaging for Linux · · Score: 1

    Finally something that resembles the ease of use of Windows.

  5. Re:"What Is Message Queuing?" on Open Source Message Queuing System · · Score: 1

    No ;)

  6. Re:Another IDN bug on Firefox on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You mean most users will never, ever, notice it. Even I as a Slashdot reader don't look at the URL constantly.
    Recon spyware coders will implement this in their programs now so it'll work in MSIE.

  7. Never though of it. on Defeating XP SP2 Heap Protection · · Score: 1

    I've never though of why my Windows with *all* patches and a positive Microsoft Windows Baseline Security Analyzer check doesn't produce those annoying "are you sure" questions. Can't say that I miss them though because I know my system is up to date :)

  8. Messenger spam on ISP Responsibility in Fight Against Spam · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't mail work like MSN, ICQ, etc? I've never received a single piece of spam that way :|

  9. Re:Paranoia quotes on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Quote from Nirvana's Territorial Pissing song;

    Just because you're paranoid
    Doesn't mean they're not after you

  10. Origin on A Look Inside the BBC's Network · · Score: 1

    Looking at the excellent diagram. Wondering where original data originates. Stupid me or what?

  11. Resize on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    Wow! Does it also include the incredibly annoying page rendering bug that is solved by a Ctrl-+/Ctrl--? I use Firefox as my primary browser at home and at work and this annoys the brown out of me.

  12. Neilsen? on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be Nielsen?

  13. Zzz on Splashscreen for OpenOffice.org 2.0 Wanted · · Score: 1

    After reading that OpenOffice.org 2.0 should have faster load times I installed it. Boy was I disappointed. The only thing faster was the installation. Load time was double of 1.1.3 if it even did load.
    So OpenOffice.org 2.0 should have a splash screen to indicate what it's doing because it's so damn slow starting!

  14. Re:Difference betwen Codes and Cyphers? on Intro to Encryption · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oh my, that is such a predictable geeky statement that it isn't even funny. What happened to Slashdot?

  15. Re:Page rendering errors on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Okay, thank you for supplying an explanation. Next question then is why the hell it's called 1.0 if there's still such blatant errors.
    Sorry if I seem pissed but the error is driving me nuts.

  16. Re:Page rendering errors on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1
  17. Page rendering errors on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Something went very wrong between 0.9 and 1.0 final. I experience random page rendering errors, especially on pages that change frequently. See what I mean here. Only way to fix it is to Ctrl-+ and then Ctrl-- to get the page to show like it should. A minor bug, but very annoying, and a reason not to recommend Firefox to friends and family. Instead I tell them to download Mozilla which doesn't have this flaw.

  18. Re:FUCK YOU usa on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    If your country is the hero of the world why don't you put armed forces in Dafur? I'll tell you why. Because there's no profit. That's what I mean regarding usa being the locust of the world. Yet again I say; FUCK usa!

  19. Re:FUCK YOU usa on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the swift reply. I know it must be hard to find the time when you're busy torturing Iraqis and imprisoning people in Guantanamo.
    It isn't usas job to save the world. It's a joined effort of the UN.
    Electing Bush isn't the best thing you could do. It's like pouring petrol on fire.

  20. Hmmm... on Thunderbird 0.9 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    After installing Thunderbird 0.9 I get a lot of timeout errors :(

  21. Re:FUCK YOU usa on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 0, Troll

    USA has become nothing more than a swarm of locust traveling from country to country, torturing, killing, and plundering everything in sight. You're to stupid to acknowledge that the rest of the world is beginning to hate USA. Electing Bush was a big mistake.
    Looking at a map of which states that voted for Bush gives a good picture of what types of people you are. Stupid hillbilly americans that probably never traveled abroad.
    I wont have sympathy when somebody bombs the shit out of you like your country has done to dozens of countries. Do us all a favor and stay the fuck away. Your country is oh so well so why not?

  22. Re:Rational? on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    That's all you have to say? You're a waste of my time, anonymous coward.

  23. FUCK YOU usa on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: -1, Troll

    FUCK YOU usa. I had sympathy with you on 9/11 but now I hope Usama Bin Laden bombs the shit out of you!

  24. Re:Slashdot...hates religion... on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    I've looked at myself and others many times and haven't seen God yet. Explain what I should look for. I'm agnostic so I'm still open for any possibilities but as time goes by I'm becoming more sceptic.
    Another thing is it's funny how christianity and politics always go hand in hand. If the scene changes then the answer is that it was the way of God. Nice way to always have an answer.
    I honestly pity you for having wasted so much time and energy on nothing, you anonymous coward.

  25. Re:Slashdot...hates religion... on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    It's funny how you got a zero rating. Perhaps it's because of what you wrote make no sense. You wrote about rationality even though you're christian and probably think the world is only 3000 years old. I suspect your also one of those types that does not think dinosaurs existed and that the human race originated from Adam and Eve no matter how many proofs there are. I'm sorry to say that you've been brainwashed. Do you also beleive in Santa Clause even though you've never seen him? It makes as much logic. You even post anonymously, hiding like a coward behind the bible.
    I beleive there was something that started the Big Bang but only because science hasn't been able to give a proper answer. Since then we've only been an experiment.
