  1. What keeps me from using netscape on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    is the right-wing propaganda and idiotic articles on their homepage (netscape.com)

  2. Re:Does it matter? Opera's still the best browser. on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    "Opera has a ton more [cool features]" - which are those? Please elaborate.

  3. Re:You keep using that word.. on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 1

    Doesn't id est directly translate to that is, which is much simpler, more direct and shorter than in other words. So I don't think of it as meaning in other words.

  4. remote? on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 1

    " ... the most remote place you're currently reading it from?" - I'm usually pretty close to where I am. I could work on that - you little geographical-centrist.

  5. Re:Shut up and finish the HURD on Stallman Pushes For Free BIOS · · Score: 1
    "I've read the article twice. Not one mention of BIOS in there. How does this relate?"

    -- Did you click on the "Next" link?

    See under:

    "Outside the GNU project, what are some of the more interesting free software projects you are attracted to right now?"

  6. Re:Why promote an intellectual monopoly? on The BookMachine: On-Demand Book Printing in 3-5 Minutes · · Score: 1

    The patent being - #5,465,213 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PT O1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm &r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,465,213.WKU.&OS=PN/5,465,213&RS =PN/5,465,213

  7. Re:Math as a way of life? on Matrix Decision Making · · Score: 1

    When translating your real world problem in to mathematical form you usually have to make choices. A lot of physics is about which terms to deem too small to be of interest - and, voila, the equation in question becomes much easier. Then math might give you your answer or might be able to tell you this is too hard (Matrix too big for solving in your lifetime, halting problem etc) But how do you know which choices to make for the translation? So "Math is Life" goes a little too far. A little math is probably harmless if not useful.

  8. 2x2 Thinking on Matrix Decision Making · · Score: 1

    How about thinking outside the box?

  9. GB on Educational Software To Donate With Laptop? · · Score: 1

    How much disk space do you have?

  10. Re:TOS on Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice · · Score: 1

    That sounds pretty good. I'm guessing all ads are about viruses and email. See you Stephan

  11. Re:TOS on Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Your saying Adwords actually produces income for you? Would you be able to say how much? Stephan

  12. Learn Programming with bc on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 1

    bc is pretty easy to use, available under UNIX straightforwardly. Get cygwin if you're on windows. It has "for" loops, "if/then" and functions. Most people would understand and appreciate some arithmetic exercises. They'd run in to syntax errors along the way. There's hardly any overhead (include this or that, compile / link, input / output windows here or there..) and no damage to be done.

  13. Remedy on Camera Vans To Photograph 50 Million Buildings · · Score: 1

    Place a design on your building and claim copyright. Or any other building for that matter.

  14. He'd turn in his grave on Alan Turing, the Inventor of Software · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Whenever the name Turing comes up, I think he would turn in his grave if he saw what kind of software is being produced today - buffer overflows ... rampant waste of memory and processor time ... Y2K stuff etc.

    He would have been delighted with a 1GHz / 1GB RAM machine and now it is just taken for granted.

  15. Re:IM2000 on Analysis of Spam, and a Proposed Solution · · Score: 1

    Where did Bernstein propose this?

  16. Nouns / Verbs / Grammar on Would you Warranty Your Email? · · Score: 1
    Warranty is a noun. I suggest to warrant is the verb to use in the title of this article:

    Would you warrant your Email?

    It's not that hard!

  17. calculator on Innovative Uses for a Computer Classroom? · · Score: 1

    The students could use the computers to add and subtract!

  18. Re:I told you so... on Offshore Outsourcing Threatens Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Small question: Since you don't like to buy shirts from the China PoliticalPrisonCo, how do you feel like buying from the US PrisonCo (filled with the victims of the "Blacks should be in Prison" Policy)

  19. Re:Basic Car Psychology on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1

    San Francisco is quite accessible without a car. I lived there for a year and it was fine.

  20. Re:Required terrorism reference on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1

    The same occured to me. Also: 75 Billion $ probably is spent on transportation but on silly cars and roads with built-in expiry dates.

  21. traffic life on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1

    Related project: a book on those pesky cars. See www.buckmaster.ca/trafficlife To appear soon.

  22. No pork thanks on EU Agrees to Give Passenger Data to U.S. · · Score: 1

    I'd like to book a return flight to New York. - Would you like that with Pork? - No thanks. That's allright.

  23. The story on "Mac for free" on MacAddict Tracks Down eBay Scam Artist · · Score: 1

    Is there more evidence available about this story? I get the feeling it is fabricated, mainly because there are so many stereotypes.
