  1. "Tentative" on GPL 3 May Require Websites to Relinquish Code · · Score: 1
    From the article:

    "This change would have no effect on existing software but could be added by developers to future versions of a particular program, according to Stallman. He said this was only a "tentative plan" as it has not yet been studied fully to see whether it would work"

    So the clause might not even get added at all.

  2. I WANT a loud power supply on Silent 500W Power Supply · · Score: 5, Funny
    I live in an old apartment building with thin walls and I have very loud neighbors who work the late shift.

    I want my power supply to be loud. I need as much white noise as I can get.

  3. Re:Titanic Struggle on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 0
    From the article:

    "The Japanese scientists found the squid by following sperm whales, the most effective hunters of giant squid, as they gathered to feed between September and December in the deep waters off the coast of the Ogasawara Islands in the North Pacific."

    So yes, they do apparently have natural predators.

  4. Okay.. on Firefly Movie Using Viral Marketing? · · Score: 0

    ..so how is this "viral marketing"?

  5. Welcome on Fired AOL Engineer gets 15 Months · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Welcome to the DesktopBSD Installation! This wizard will guide you through the process of installing DesktopBSD on your computer. Please take the time to carefully through all texts and explanations because improper settings can cause data loss."

    Always nice when you install a new OS and the first screen you see is a paragraph that has obviously not been proofread.

  8. Re:Here we go again... on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    >Just label me agnokapathetic*.

    I don't know about agnoka, but I agree with the rest of it. ;)

  9. Re:Looks cool, too bad it's completely useless to on Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer · · Score: 1

    Actually that link has nothing to do with what I was saying, and had to do only with translating the tutorials. There is no information there or anywhere about how to change the language of the menus and interface under windows.

    Good job getting modded +5 anyway, though.

  10. Looks cool, too bad it's completely useless to me on Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer · · Score: 1

    since it assumes I want the interface to be in incomplete/poorly translated Japanese language, and doesn't seem to give me any way to change it to English.

  11. Re:Typical slashdotter! on Humanoid Robot HR-2 · · Score: 1

    Well if the video file wasn't slashdotted before, it definitely will be now.

    In this picture the robot is clearly taking a dump.

  13. Can it tell me on Don't Click on the Blue E · · Score: 1

    Why firefox keeps locking up on me, and why I can't start it up without getting 2 or 3 msgbox errors? Because the best the firefox faq has to offer is "uninstall all your extensions, uninstall firefox and install again from scratch". Ok, did that, it didn't fix it. Now what? I'm stuck using IE again.

  14. Re:In Korea on Star Wars Props Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    I hope that's a girl because I just felt a disturbance in the force

    To summarize the parent: Words mean things. ps. Good luck on that philosophy degree. Looks like you're most of the way there.

  19. Useless to me on Freeciv-2.0.0 Stable Released · · Score: 1

    it assumes I want to play in (badly translated) Japanese language mode and won't let me set the default language to English.

    This is the same reason I can't use the win32 version of GIMP.

  20. Well, it's not all bad on Sea Life Wiped Out by Neutron Star Collision? · · Score: 5, Funny

    On the bright side, gamma ray exposure is what brought us the Hulk, and his hot cousin She-Hulk. So hey, what's few million flavors of fish, give or take?

    sorry.

    You get taken aback by adequate acting? I guess you really are a hardcore Star Wars fan.

    the word "hoshi" means both planet and star.

    So we live on a hoshi, and all the bright things you see in the sky are also hoshi's.
