    Quoth the AC
    Opera 9 renders Slashdot fine for me.
    But the op was talking about the new discussion system, which is in beta atm. See http://slashdot.org/faq/com-mod.shtml#cm120 for more details.

    Also see Neil Gaiman's babycakes. It can be online (probably illegally) at http://journals.muchmusic.com/view_comment.jsp?jID =23132.

    This is where I find metacritic to be very very useful.

    Errr... if you're complaining about it on Slashdot, it's quite likely that you have internet access of some form.

    Have a look here... http://backslash.slashdot.org/faq/UI.shtml#ui500 Then go to your prefs and the homepage settings and you should be set. Cheers, ZzzzSleep.

    I'm pretty sure something similar has happened already. The witty worm spread through a vulnerability in blackice firewall didn't it?

    I believe the rule is: The intelligence of a mob is the intelligence of the dumbest member divided by the number of members in the mob.

  10. Re:I agree wholeheartedly on Immaturity Level Rising in Adults · · Score: 1

    With regards to drinking in Europe, I think it's also a very different attitude. Because they've had access to alcohol before they reach the legal age, it's not a huge deal. "I can do something that I've been doing for ages! Meh". But in the US, once you pass the magic threshold (18 or 21 or whatever), you're thrown in the deep end "Let's all get plastered! Drinking must be awesome if it's been kept from us for this long!".

    I realise that not everyone behaves like this and that this post has probably been expressed really poorly. I guess the basic idea I'm trying to get across is not to underestimate "the lure of the forbidden".

    You can also use 1 and 2 to move left and right one tab respectively.

  12. Re:How about an API on Opera 9.0 Released · · Score: 1

    You could try http://mtsix.com/articles/2006/03/adblock-for-oper a.html. I haven't used it myself, but it looks to do what you want it to I think. Although I'm not sure if it does automatic updating.

  13. Re:How about an API on Opera 9.0 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Right click, select "Block content..." click on what you want to go away, and that's about it.

    Easy.

    I checked the opera site earlier today, and there was no mention of this. Must go download it now.

    My God, that's some of the worst design I've ever seen. Red print on black background, scrolling over pink background "objects" so that they're impossible to read?
    Which is why I love Operas "user mode" feature. It makes eye watering text readable again. Yay!
  17. No lightsabers on MacSaber Turns Your Macbook into a Lightsaber · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't want lightsaber effects, I just want to be able to use force pull on a Mac laptop. That would be fun. And profitable.

    One of Nintendos better attachments was the bongo drums for Donkey Konga. That game is a blast to play with them.

    If you have Foxtel digital, can't you just use the autotune functionality, and just tell the pvr when to record?

    Nintendo hasn't done anything lately that is remotely innovative. They really need to get off their haunches and do something disruptive I think.
    So where does the DS fit in with all this then? I think that Nintendo took a fairly large risk when launching that.

    When I get older, losing disk space, many years from now,
    Will you still use me to send an email line, birthday greetings,
    or slashdot whine?
    If you used me 'till quarter to three, could I crash once more?
    Will you still boot me, will you still root me,
    When I'm sixty-four?

    Hmm------mmm---mmmh.
    You'll be older, too.Aaah, and if you say the word, I could stay
    with you.

    You'll need to be handy, mending a fuse, when my ps is gone.
    You can knit a sweater by the fireside, you can't use me if my chips are fried.
    Going to swap meets, digging for parts, who could ask for more?
    Will you still boot me, will you still root me, when I'm sixty

    Every summer we can vist one infinite loop, if it's
    not too dear. We shall scrimp and save.
    And sitting on your knee, that newton from e-bay

    Open a shell prompt, drop me a line stating point of view.
    Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting
