  1. What is this obsession with sliders? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

  3. Re:Anti-Slashdot Effect on GMail Experiences Serious Outage · · Score: 1

    How would you defend if hotmail was down? No much, I thought so.

  4. This guy for real? Troll of the day on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    |Re -- Photoshop: That Photoshop stopped functioning after we messed with one of its nag DLLs was not so much a surprise, but what was a surprise: Noting that Win7 allows programs like Photoshop to insert themselves stealthily into your firewall exception list. Further, that the OS allows large software vendors to penetrate your machine. Even further, that that permission is responsible for disabling of a program based on a modified DLL. And then finding that the OS even after reboot has locked you out of your own Local Settings folder; has denied you permission to move or delete the modified DLL; and refuses to allow the replacement of the Local Settings folder after it is unlocked with Unlocker to move it to the Desktop for examination (where it also denies you entry to your own folder). Setting permissions to 'allow everyone' was disabled!

    1. You replace dll file with a cracked version and complain it "suddenly" stopped working.

    2. You clearly don't understand Windows permissions. Yet, it's Windows fault?

    3. "Further, that the OS allows large software vendors to penetrate your machine." Wtf? You for real, you installed with admin rights, the software can do pretty much whatever it will.

  5. Something simillar happened to me on The Broken Design of Microsoft's "Fix it" Tool · · Score: 0, Troll

    I was testing ubuntu and accidentally I typed sudo rm -rf / and woosh! everything broke!

  6. Re:The Ultimate Steal? on Microsoft Invents $1.15/Hour Homework Fee For Kids · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with Office 2007?

    GUI is one of the easiest to use yet. OO.org is just pixel by pixel copy (event the menus) and is just catching up with office 2000.

  7. Re:Make it work on my HTC Diamond on Running Google Android On iPhone Clones · · Score: 1

    I have been playing with XDA builds, but unfortunately software fails during kernel init. Hope they manage to fix this.

  11. How will this affect rest of the providers? on RIAA Sues Usenet.com · · Score: 1

    One must use your credit card to pay for most (usefull) Usenet access. The providers promise anonymity and all but what if a judge orders in favor for RIAA?

  12. Re:It's simple suppy and demand.. on What's Keeping US Phones In the Stone Age? · · Score: 1

    American's are more willing to pay for their techy gadgets.
    So thats why you have both crappy phones and contracts? Does not make sense.
  13. US mobile contracts on Apple and AT&T Announce iPhone Service Plans · · Score: 1

    Here in Norway, it is not normal to have binding contract for no more than 12 months, and the monthly fees are much lower than the 60 bucks many people here are willing to pay. We do not for except prepaid cards not have free minutes. Most carriers have low minute prices and SMS is like 0,30 NOK each.

    Trying to collect bits and pieces of information and it seems like US mobile phone contract system is like 10-15 years behind Europe. Please enlighten.

    (Anyway, many get prepaid subscription (with virtually unlimited usage) and a phone from the employer too.)

  14. Re:not component based? on Google Says Vista Search Changes Not Enough · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well they do have an API that lets you run programs on their OS
    So MS doesn't have a API? SDK? And doesn't let you run programs?? This is probably the stupidest thing I've read on slash.
  15. brown? on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Released · · Score: 1

    Why don't they change the brown color? In my opinion it looks terrible!

    I know they don't want to go blue and copy MS.. but common..

    How the hell does serverside java make your browser load for 15 seconds??

  25. Re:In the Philippines on SMS Text Messaging & Youth Debt One · · Score: 1

    In Norway (and most of the other countries I've travelled), they solve this by giving users single SIM card and have them to prepay (like recharging) credits (recharge cards can be bought from virtually everywhere, even via SMS and internet). Works like a charm for people who cannot afford/control the bill.
