  1. Re:Best captain on The 40th Anniversary of Star Trek · · Score: 1

    Best captain: Evil Kirk

  2. Flat Earth on Physicist Claims Time Has a Geometry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Not too long ago, people thought the Earth was flat" It's a common misconception and almost modern myth that people in the recent past believed the earth was flat. The truth is that it was generally accepted by most learned people that the earth was spherical from the 1st century onwards and many argued so much earlier. You can read more about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_earth

  3. Nero Vs CDrecord on NeroLinux vs. K3b · · Score: 0

    K3b is a great program as is XCDRoast, however both these programs are just graphical front ends for CDrecord and the other command line tools. Even though Nero is a closed source commercial product I for one am very pleased to see an alternative to CDrecord, which I have often, along with many other users, found to be problematic and a general pain in the arse.

  4. Re:Remember : it's proprietary on SkypeIn Reaches Beta Users · · Score: 0

    Yes but it's very easy to set up and use. So easy in fact that my 60 year old mother has it on her Windows PC allowing me to easily communicate with her via my Linux laptop.

  5. Re:CmdrTaco needs a spell checker on More On Save Enterprise Donations · · Score: 0

    The differences in British and American spelling are thanks to Noah Webster who decided to change the spelling of some words when he published "The American Spelling Book" in 1800. Both forms are now correct provided the writer is consistent.

  6. Only 18.5% not 38.4% on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 0

    "We are responsible for 38.4% of TV downloads in the EU and 18.5% worldwide." That's 38.5% of the total downloads within the European Community and not 38.4% of the worldwide downloads.

  7. kde 3.3.1 on KDE 3.3 Officially Released · · Score: 0

  8. Re:Funny.... on Yahoo Changes Protocol, Blocks Third Party Clients · · Score: 0

    Me too using Gaim

  9. Just a clever marketing ploy on Canon Digital Rebel Hacked Into A Pseudo-10D · · Score: 0

    The two cameras are not the same the more expensive one has a metal case whereas the Rebel has a crappy plastic case plus a pentamirror instead of a true pentaprism. If you ask me it is Canon themselves who have released the hack in order to increase sales of an infrerior quality product.

  10. Fuck off Slashdot on SCO gets $50 Million Investment · · Score: 0

    Slashdot is owned by SCO that's why they keep putting up this shit

  11. Shut Up on SCO gets $50 Million Investment · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why don't you shut up about this SCO shite.

  12. Re:My Views, on The People Behind Quanta Plus · · Score: 1

    Quanta Plus is not a WYSWYG editor! According to the article they are going to include a WYSWYG feature in the next release.

  13. Linux on XBOX Media Player 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Why not just use Linux instead!
