  1. Re:Finally! on Longhorn's Flash Killer? · · Score: 1

    Actually... Windows NT = New Technology

  2. Re:Man, that's just cruel. on Search for Miss Digital World · · Score: 2, Funny



    Like it would have lasted long... if this is the editor, imagine the server!

  3. Problems! on Symantec Hit by Product Activation Glitch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Product Activation on products as important as antivirus apps is bad IMO. When average users are confronted with this, its easy for them to get frustrated with, and what happenes when average users get frustrated with software? They dont use it.

    As with all stories about virri, here is the link to a FREE Antivirus app.

  4. Looks like they've finally had enough on Fox News Considered Suing Fox's "The Simpsons" · · Score: 1, Informative

    Simpsons have been mocking FOX for years...

    Here is "Fox Bashing List v1.7"

  5. I can see the errors now... on Google Considering Merger With Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Could not find file 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\google\search.mdb'.

  6. Re:Halloween is going to be killer on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 1

    This here?

  7. Re:Maybe I missed something on Gaming Life In Iraq · · Score: 1

    Kind of like the redneck US stereotype, but without beer to pacify.

    Beer to pacify?

    Maybe _I_ missed something...

  8. Judging by the placement.. on More on Talking Shopping Carts · · Score: 1

    of the display, i really hope they are drool proof. And no, not the drool when you walk past the pastry counter. I'm talking kids sitting in the cart.

  9. Re:Bin Laden is a stupid gimmik for a game on Fugitive Hunter's Bin Laden Fistfight Shenanigans · · Score: 1

    I really cant see Walmart, or any other of the big chain stores having this on their shelves.
    It's not so much the quality of the game, it's the content I can see them getting hung up on.

  10. Nice...but... on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Dell Digital Jukebox 20GB1
    Stores over 4,900 songs

    (Assumes audio format is 128kbps MP3 encoding with average song length of 4 min.)

    I dont know about the rest of you, but most, if not all of my music is in 192kbps.

    What kind of space available are we talking about with that bitrate?

  12. Odd... on NASA Engineers Question ISS Safety · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Washington Post reported Thursday, however, that two officials overseeing health and environmental conditions on the space station didn't sign off on the launch, instead signing a dissent that warned about ``the continued degradation'' of the environmental monitoring and health maintenance systems and exercise equipment vital to the astronauts' well being.

    Shouldnt these people _have_ to agree that it's safe in order for it to keep operating? They, after all, are the "officials overseeing health and environmental conditions". Who has to say 'yes' or 'no' and have it mean something?

  13. So... on New Method To Generate Electricity from Water · · Score: 1

    Basically these new light bulbs would be able to power themselves? now that's handy.

  14. Tough filtering on Does Your Company Censor the Content for You? · · Score: 1

    I have a govt IT job where our traffic leaves a larger government network to get to the net, because of this, our surfing is heavily filtered, I personally are always getting "ACCESS DENIED" in big blue letters across my screen. I once visited a site with a review for a 256mb video card i was showing a user, i tried to reload the page, and then was met with the aforementioned blue text. They also seem to block ports, i cant even ping anything on the net.

  15. Great... on 12 Million Historic Photos Scanned to Web · · Score: 1

    I couldnt get on the site _before_ it was posted on slashdot, guess i'll have to wait a couple days now. I'm guessing mirrors are out of the question :)

  17. scroll lock on What's A 'Scroll Lock' And Why Is It On My Keyboard? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Every keyboard has it, somewhere on the upper right-hand side, and frankly, it's pretty useless. It was included on the original IBM PC (where it also had little point). Nowadays, Excel is about the only app that takes advantage of it. When you engage Scroll Lock and press an arrow key, the active cell remains where it was and the entire spreadsheet moves (without Scroll Lock, the active-cell indicator moves to the next cell). article here

  18. lose the command line... on Rise of the 'Consumer' Linux Distribution · · Score: -1, Troll

    by going with more GUI, linux could increase its market share tenfold.
