  2. Messages Boxes Blank? on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else find when 0.9 asks to save a password for a site, the message box has no text in it? This is under Windows...

  3. Re:Better link on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 0

    Thanks, unfortunately still not loading...slashdot effect rears its ugly head.

    Hmm, i thought it was "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters"

    AZ is growing as a retirement community.

  7. Re:Of course. on Expert Opinions On Linux Gaming's Future · · Score: 1

    Ok, could you tell me where i can get this game? The Download page is just terrible as all the providers are these crap login or game spaming sites... Bittorent?

  8. Re:Great on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 1, Interesting

    BTW, that was not flame bait. :) I am just not into quest books/movies...but the movies were truly impressive bodies of work...and liz tyler!

  9. Great on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is great to see a fantasy film get the recognition it deserves...a masterful film, even if I actually didn't care for it :)

  10. WRONG! on World's Largest Databases Ranked · · Score: 1

    Well, the results are wrong. Where I work they were told by Microsoft they had the largest MS SQL operational (all live) database of 18terabytes...

  11. Re:Great Article on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes, anything negative is a flamebait! I was bitching and moaning legitimately...how is this article News for Nerds?!

  12. Re:Great Article on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Actually, I was not flamebaiting. Geesh, if you say ANYTHING negative they call it flamebaiting. Seriously, how is giving buying advice a worthy Slashdot article. Be like the rest of us, do your own freaking buying research.

  13. Great Article on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Wow, slashdot is now a shopping advice site. Great. Unbelieveable, why don't you just do your own homework you lazy ****

  14. Re:Price warring on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    BTW, you are wrong about the tracking. You can turn it off in your phone, but if you do not explicitly turn it off you are broadcasting location. HOw do i know this? I have a phone that does this. And of course, I guess you would trust the government to not in any way mis-use this 911 capabiliy? I mean, they have always been so good about not going further then they are allowed right? Please note, sarcasm. Sorry, don't have time to do the research on web for you on the speeding tickets. I have met people who have had this happen to them WITHOUT any warrents etc on their movement. Isn't that great? But, if you feel safer now then of course dont worry about people watching where you are going without any regulation right? But I guess you never had a friend who had his identity stolen and had to deal with this issue? Also, the "retard" comment isn't really necessary. Happy to chat with you about this, but why don't you remove that large chip from your shoulder.

  15. Re:Price warring on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    Great idea, but I don't want that 911 tracing. Just what we need, another easy way for the government to keep tabs on us. The new regulations already make it so easy for the feds to track us without warrents etc, now this too.

    It's just like those automated toll collectors, they are now using that to give speeding tickets (by timing your time between pay points) and for tracking movement in legal cases.

  16. Re:Funny ... on Intel Researchers See Moore's Law Becoming Obsolete · · Score: 1

    No such thing as a Pentium Pro 100mhz. There was a Pentium pro 180mhz and I think 166(both not very successful). The one everyone used was 200mhz.

  17. Stop Bitching on Farewell To The Concorde · · Score: 1

    You know, everyone who is complaining (rightly so) that we don't have anything cool in the aerospace industry anymore needs to stop buying cheap airline tickets. We are all the reason why airline industry is so damn boring...we all want that $68 fare. If we would be willing to spend more per ticket, then perhaps airlines wouldn't be the awful cattlecars they have become.

  18. Yet another thing that will die...and should on New WiFi Standards, Double the Data? · · Score: 1

    Great, another company that says "hey we have a better way to do it and it is using our PROPRIETARY non-open standard." This one is going to die on the vine guys, I hope. I am not sure who keeps doing this, but non-open standards are in today's world not going to fly (and there are tons of examples most recently Rambus). Wait for 802.11Z to replace this... :)

  19. Dave Mathews Band on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dave Mathews Band allows live taping, so one could easily be sharing LEGAL bootleg recordings...me for example...and be brought in for illegal sharing?! Blah

    I have a car stereo that accepts 1/8 input...they are out there.

  21. Re:Standards vs. Competition/Innovation on Want 12Mbits/sec for $21? Move to Japan. · · Score: 1

    Actually, cell phone service is good in the U.S. it is MUCH cheaper then in Europe!!!! Ever try calling a European cell phone, its CRAZY expensive for the caller!

  22. Re:Why do you need this? on Verizon Sues Nextel For Espionage · · Score: 1

    I guess so, but I can't imagine $30 or $45 a month is that big a deal to people.

    But the quicker part I wonder...I have voice recognition dialing in my phone from Sprint, and it works great and fast.

  23. Why do you need this? on Verizon Sues Nextel For Espionage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could someone please tell me why we need basically "walkie-talkie" service on a cell phone? I have a ton of minutes, why would i replace good quality full duplex with this service? Its like text messaging, in the U.S. we get so many minutes nowadays who cares about these other minute saving features anymore?

  24. Re:Things I can't believe are true about US mobile on Verizon Drops Opposition To Cell-Number Portability · · Score: 1

    Yes, however the people who call you on your cell phone pay REDICULOUSLY high charges to call you!!!!!!!!! I have friends in Australia and Switerzerland, and when I call them my per minute cost from the U.S. goes from .05/minute to about .50/minute. That is nuts, I MUCH prefer this system in the U.S. especially since our long distance is so cheap nowadays.

  25. What about building cities? on Bid On eBay To Speed Up Your Commute · · Score: 1

    What happened to building cities in this country, instead of urban sprawl and suburbs? I mean, when was the last time you saw a city block (a real one, not the suburb style one) built?

    Cities with real subway systems and bus lines would alleviate a lot of this problem
