    alright, who modded this interesting, raise your hand

  4. Re:We're fast enough... on AMD Stirs Athlon Into Geode Embedded Soup · · Score: 1

    yes, amen; I feel exactly this way. When I'm doing something for a while, its cool, but when I need to switch task, or open large files, or compile it hits a wall. I'm going to have to get a desktop system again because of this (I use a Thinkpad T40 with the 1.6 Pentium M)

  5. Re:Bayesian filtering is already dead. on Google IPO Swami · · Score: 1

    I use popfile too, but thats because it works with everything (all spam filters should adopt this methodology), and yes it works to some extent now, but you should consider that if everyone was not like this idiot writing trash in the newspaper, and did install bayesian spam filtering, then immediately it would be not effective and the spammers will find more clever ways of getting around it. Its not hard to fool a computer.

  6. Re:If you think OS X has too much eye candy... on More Insight On Longhorn's Avalon And Aero Design · · Score: 1

    you can turn all of these things off in the registry (its not a regular setting) or if you download one of the powerpacks that gives you more control.

    it is not possible ( or at least extremely difficult ) to create code that will dynamically implement changing standards.

  10. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Future for Web Standards Pondered · · Score: 1

    i second that, great idea.. of course they would be (at least for a certain time) be providing poorer results to their customers, which would require that the weight be relatively quite small. Nonetheless, good thought.

  11. Re:Marketing on Future for Web Standards Pondered · · Score: 1

    so who makes these big decisions? is there some sort of board of OSS directors? anything?
    do we just talk about it here and post +5 insightful comments?

  12. Re:Open Graphics Art Project on Everaldo and Jimmac On Linux Art and Usability · · Score: 1

    perhaps a website with a request que of icons/other art could be posted, and then submissions/changes can be rated?

    who did all the work on the Fireworks rebranding?

    man, I feel your pain buddy; ADD sucks.

    Sometimes I'll be typing an entry, but something just catches my att.. ooo, LOOK! a shiny!

  14. Re:I Wish Moz Would Rely a Little Less on Plugins on Firefox/Thunderbird Plugins: Is Less More? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    or better yet have a single installer/downloader that would allow you to check/uncheck which features you wanted installed, like other complex apps do.

  15. Re:suck rules on Internet Problem Solving Contest 2004 · · Score: 1

    you don't have to use Prolog to do a recursive search.

  16. Question.. on Internet Problem Solving Contest 2004 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It says that you only need to provide solutions for the two datasets, and that doing it by hand is ok, so whats to keep me from just displaying the matrix for sample problem 2 in a graphics problem, printing it and counting off the number of smiling faces? Even the difficult problem set is not that large..

  17. Re:suck rules on Internet Problem Solving Contest 2004 · · Score: 2, Funny

    what kind of problem, pray tell, just screams "Please use prolog to crunch me" ???

  18. Re:Down to 1000MB on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    yup, ditto

  19. Re:doesn't mater if they give a TB on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    it is a free service; they make money off of the ads; just like every other internet business.
    nobody cares if you are willing to pay for email..plain and simple, you sound old and grumpy, and by the looks of your ID, you are.

    the reason you get all that spam is that you post your email on slashdot with the spam protection turned off.

  23. this doesn't quite make sense to me.. on Microsoft Blames Anti-trust Legal Fees for Price Increases · · Score: 1

    why would they raise prices?
    I think this is just a PR move. They keep their prices at calculated *optimal* levels, where (profit per unit)*(projected units sold) is maximized.

    I'm not a business guy, but this just seems like common sense; this will not affect their prices.

  24. Re:Clever on A Worm's Worm · · Score: 2, Funny

    if only it had been moderated redundant twice..

  25. don't you see? on Life Imitates Art at Intel · · Score: 1

    We describe several experiments and studies that lead to a design for a personal, body-worn, wireless device that extends the Familiar Stranger relationship while respecting the delicate, yet important, constraints of our feelings and relationships with strangers in pubic places.

    I think they are considering putting computers down there but they aren't sure if people are ready to extend the "Familiar Stranger" relationship.. or something.
