  1. Linux to the same level as Windows.... on Opera Releases Version 7 For Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The first Opera 7 release on Linux is version 7.11, bringing Opera for Linux up to the same level of development as Windows, with Opera 7.11 for Windows being released just last week.

    Hah!

  2. Re:Now that you bring it up... on Does Gaming Reduce Productivity? · · Score: 1

    None of your "Interesting notes" have anything to do with wasting time at work. These are all common life events that everyone experiences. Imagine the Final Fantasy writer saying "I'm going to go scuba diving because I might get an inspiration about goo".

  3. Re:Now that you bring it up... on Does Gaming Reduce Productivity? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Artists have a habit of calling any time-wasting activity "inspirational" and declaring that it improves their so-called "work".

  4. Re:two words: video rental on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    After reading this, I am guessing that you would say the existence of the current DVD rental market is a figment of the world's imagination.

  5. Alt + Tab on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...is my best friend.

  6. Re:Geek courtesy on Falling to Earth's Core in a Big Blob of Iron · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yes, Slashdot can serve out large dynamic pages to tens of thousands of people for each article they post, but they can't afford the bandwidth for that single page that they link to, which is only viewed by about one third of the Slashdotters even when availability isn't a problem. Nice conspiracy theory, idiot.

  7. At 420 feet.... on Sudden Death Experience · · Score: 1

    It's probably the highest elevation in all of the midwest. ... half of which should actually be called the mideast or midnorth.

  8. Re:But it's not a fair price on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 1

    How is it not free? If you don't like it, don't listen to it. There's plenty of other music out there.

  9. Re:not left out. on Microsoft Sued for Defective Software · · Score: 1

    What MS email client runs as root?

  10. Re:But it's not a fair price on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 1

    A "fair" price is what the public is willing to pay, not what you would like to pay.

  11. Re:PTFree = a joke on Cheap Audio Production · · Score: 1

    So who do I call for Audacity support?

  12. Re:Here's a shocker on RIAA, MPAA Lose Suit Against Streamcast and Grokster · · Score: 1

    So is "unconstitutional amendment" a paradox?

  13. Re:Biggest issue with this pipe dream on EFF Lawyer Argues For Compulsory Music Licenses · · Score: 1

    What, no advertising budget? You forget that the reason people actually recognize and purchase most of the CD's out there is because the labels spend millions promoting them.

  14. Re:Pay Cuts on Post-crash Salary Survey · · Score: 1

    Socialism, comrade.

  15. Re:Server doesn't use XP interface on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 1
    What do you want?

    An excuse to fear that which he does not understand?

  16. Re:Worried? (only if I would use it) on Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance · · Score: 1

    But back to reality... how often does that actually happen? Often enough to make up for the lack of obscurity? Depends on the application, I suppose. The point is that open source is not ALWAYS the most secure option.

  17. Re:Next... on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    That depends on which state you are in, I believe.

  18. Re:Greedy Fingers on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    Yes, we're going to liberate a country spending billions of dollars and hundreds of our own lives, and then we're going to pay billions more to non-US companies to rebuild it, getting nothing in return. You have no vision. There's a reason people like you never get to lead this country.

  19. Re:What percent use a "modern ... decent OS"? on Anything Box Releases An Album To Share · · Score: 1

    You know, every fact in this rant was also true 5 years ago, yet MS is still dominating the numbers today. In other words, thanks for the pointless post.

  20. Re:Ooooooops! on Lexmark Wins Injunction in Toner Cartridge Suit · · Score: 1

    Funny, isn't it.

  21. Better yet.... on Lexmark Wins Injunction in Toner Cartridge Suit · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just print everything at work.

  22. Re:Makes sence on Examining Microsoft Update · · Score: 1

    More accurate sales numbers for most software is probably publicly available. There wouldn't be much of a point to this.

  23. Re:in the first 37 comments... on Game Theory at 190mph · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yes, pushrod V8's and family sedan aerodynamics are really taking us to new heights of technological advancement.

  24. Re:Why fans like NASCAR on Game Theory at 190mph · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how NASCAR is more complex than any other form of auto racing, including ones that require the drivers to turn BOTH WAYS and don't inhibit technology as NASCAR does.

  25. Re:Personally... on 10 Techno-Cool Cars · · Score: 1

    Too bad it's ugly and domestic.
