  1. Re:The myth of the upgradeless on Ars Technica Reviews OS X 10.5 · · Score: 1

    The Mac Pro is very expensive, but nothing you mentioned there is nonupgradable. I can shove new PCI Express video cards in, as much memory as I can imagine, and the same processors many PC slashdot'ers have. Because it's an expensive rig you don't consider it upgradable?

  2. Uh. on Do You Care if Your Website is W3C Compliant? · · Score: 1

    Yes. A browser passing ACID2 is much different than XHTML being actual XHTML.

  3. Re:Consolation Prize on X-Prize Lunar Lander Competition a Go · · Score: 1

    Do you understand the point to the X-Prize at all?

  4. Hardware issue? Give me a break. on Faulty Microsoft Driver Saps Intel Core Duo power · · Score: 1

    This bug only appears on Windows. They already said the software issue lied with the scheduling. The Linux kernel has had /many/ similar issues in the past in the scheduler that affected SMP systems only. I doubt that the fact that single CPUs aren't affected means it has anything to do with hardware.

    I think this is a good ol fashioned Slashdot troll post. The more people comment, the more money they make.

  5. Re:must be more zero tolerance on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 1

    Give me a break. My city has a dense population. My city was declared most literate city in the United States this year. And I didn't make any comments on intelligence, only that they are indeed rednecks. Rednecks can be rich, rednecks can be smart. They can even have power, look at our administration!

  6. Re:The other white meat on New Evidence in Historical Cannibalism Debate · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah. And it's not even culture. This was so long ago that it was just the history of the species.

  7. Eh. on More Cookie Investigations · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't blame McCain (even though I'd like to.) Other senators websites have the exact same quotes. I'd blame their webmasters whom appear to be cut-and-paste'ing. http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=% 22I%20do%20not%20use%20'cookies'%20or%20other%20me ans%20on%20my%20Web%20site%20to%20track%20your%20v isit%20in%20any%20way.%22

    Suburban? Maybe Sub-suburban. I see a lot of fields. Probably would explain the local redneck cops having no clue.

  9. Re:BeanBunny is a known troll on Linux/Unix Tops Charts for Vulnerabilities in 2005 · · Score: 2, Funny

    An account only lets you moderate comments. He wishes he could moderate submissions. What type of psychoactive are you on?

  10. Re:Reading must be hard.... on Texas to Get Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    But it's more than professions too. Emergency systems use these frequencies.

  11. Re:What about ameteur radio? on Texas to Get Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    Uh, so 30MHz signals are only used for hobbies?

  12. Re:web design or web programming? on Webpage Building Guides for the Uninitiated? · · Score: 1

    HTML 4 may be a standard, but there really isn't a standard way to parse it. It's based upon XML, but is loose about a few of the fundamental rules. The things that it allows you to get away with forces browsers to use a tag soup parser which can have unpredicable results.

  13. Re:Ubuntu Year.Month on Ubuntu: Best Linux Desktop for Business? · · Score: 1

    I get it just fine. The parent put the variable in the fourth digit. I doubt that's entirely accurate.

  14. Re:Actually, it's not released yet on GCC 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

    It's just a lack of understanding on your part of how the GCC development process works. There is no need to dumb the site down. The site is by people who know what is going on, for people who know what is going on.

  15. Re:Ubuntu Year.Month on Ubuntu: Best Linux Desktop for Business? · · Score: 1

    And what happens in 2010? 0.X?

  16. Re:But 32 bit flash works on my 64 bit box on Why Won't Macromedia Release 64-bit Flash? · · Score: 4, Informative

    That only works because your distribution installed 32bit libraries and is using emulation. If your distribution was 64bit, or you didn't want to use a different set of libraries for Mozilla, you wouldn't be able to run Flash.

  17. Re:So? on Nitpicking Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I'm not famous. I never wrote such a book.

  20. Re:Maybe she'll help out when they impeach Bush on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Huh? Since when does an official lose their position in office when they are impeached? Impeaching is just the accusation, similar-but-not-really to an indictment.

  21. Hm. on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Very weird. Seems like they're taking the Apple route of trying to make things simpler. Not even enough buttons to even play Metroid Prime. I think I have a solution:

    Controller Modification

  22. Re:Yay, more nanotechnology on Diamond Nanotubes Created · · Score: 1

    The font isn't set to Times New Roman anywhere. It lets your browser decide. Maybe you should stop complaining and figure out how to operate the perferences panel of your browser?

    4 hours earlier? So what? It was on OSNews a couple days ago.

    Washington D.C. or Washington State?

  25. Re:Linspire? on Indiana Schools May Purchase 300K Linux Computers · · Score: 1

    Linspire used to be Lindows, it used Wine heavily, emulating Windows programs. It also looks a lot like Windows. Many people have the opinion that distributions like this that aim to merely clone Windows hurt GNU/Linux as a whole.
