    Allow me to provide a tool that will help a ton

    http://www.brainsystems.com/capsunlock/

    Install this bad boy and any accidental press of the caps lock will not work unless it is pressed with the ctrl key. A very handy bit of free (beer) software

    not true. i find slashdot funny on occasions.. :P

  3. Re:Microsofts biggest blunder? on IE The Great Microsoft Blunder? · · Score: 1

    not as bad as the original poster claims tho. you can install a beta and there is a dev sdk. it does exist in some form.

    all other features of cairo have been implemented. just 10 years after win 95 ;)

    come on people. mod funny not informative!

  5. Re:5 Reasons Why Vista WON"T Suck on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 2, Informative

    You don't think maybe it's a case of if it's there use it?

    I have a flash graphics card in my computer and when I don't have a game running the gfx card isn't used so why not use it?

  6. Re:Mushrooms on Verizon Threatens Google's 'Free Lunch' · · Score: 1
    I'll play along too. =)

    ILikeRed writes to tell us the Washington Post is reporting that Verizon is becoming much more vocal about internet firms using "their" lines to do business without paying extra. From the article: "The network builders are spending a fortune constructing and maintaining the networks that Google intends to ride on with nothing but cheap servers," Thorne told a conference marking the 10th anniversary of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. "It is enjoying a free lunch that should, by any rational account, be the lunch of the facilities providers." This, as lawmakers are approaching new legislation that could let telcos charge internet companies much more for the use of high speed connections.

    oh - hang on....

    MS is blue, Linux is red. *Insert commie joke here*

  8. Re:this is good to know on Supreme Court Lets Utilization Rights Stand · · Score: 1

    Yeah I find this is a great reference at times of what not to do. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I was thinking when I wrote x or y.

  9. Re:Stupid but not that stupid on Old Airlift Vehicle Concept Made New · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Full sized missles and full size AAA are a different matter, but again, compartmentation will help, and gas bags probably don't provide much of a radar signature to trigger fuzes, nor does the gas bag itself offer enough resistance to trigger most fuzes; they will probably fly right through and leave behind a few holes, trivial to patch.

    But the cargo inside the ship will indeed be solid and will offer enough resistance!

  10. Re:Inevitable on China Planning For Sustainable Cities · · Score: 1

    That depends on what you mean by go back.

    You might be right if you mean you can't have 5 tvs and different 'bling' to wear each day of the week.

    But I don't think a sustainable city should have any affect on your health and general wellbeing. There is a lot you can cut out of your lifestyle without really having a negative impact. Noone needs the george forman grill when a girdle would do...?

    If people turned off the tv and got out more (i'm posting on /. i can't speak :P) they might well notice this

  11. Re:Slashdot... on Conquering the LaGrange Points? · · Score: 1

    Horrible but perfectly valid

    Whatever, Midi was what drove the stake in!

  13. Re:Have a taste... on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    The fact that they will most likely cost significantly less will be an added bonus for them,

    you mean a significantly higher margin for apple not a discount? ;-)

  14. Re:Heading Down the Windows Path on Kernel Changes Draw Concern · · Score: 3, Informative

    yes but NT does not have an option to remove those drivers from the system. the linux kernel allows you the opportunity to omit whatever you want at compile time.

    you have options and one of those options is to not use stuff.

  15. Re:What about older hardware! on Kernel Changes Draw Concern · · Score: 1

    yes. i demand a kernel that runs regardless of my electricity supply!

    That was much cooler however.

    If i had my way it would look just like Johnny 5.

    Then it could do all that cool stuff with it's eyebrows :D

  18. Re:mono? on Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support · · Score: 1

    Mono is for C# and .NET runtime i believe

  19. Re:Mod me down if you must, but I prefer Visual Ba on Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support · · Score: 1

    VB.NET gives you most of these things as well so I think the only issue really lies in having to maintain legacy projects which have already been built.

  20. Re:Huh? on Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support · · Score: 1

    I guess they mean as long as you are willing to pay someone enough

  21. Re:It's a profit center!! on RIAA Lawsuits from a John Doe's Perspective · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nono, this stops piracy which in turn drives sales of cds which creates more revenue which means the RIAA can drop their % on contracts. Right?

  22. Re:IBM Thinkpads are the same way on BIOS-Approved PCI Cards For Laptops · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That and also it's not Centrino if it doesn't have cards that are built to Centrino specification.

  24. Re:Perhaps Google Can Explain... on Google Formula For Adding New Products · · Score: 1

    well they can't post ads for competing companies beside results.

    they can definatly post ads for products that enhance your search results. eg search for bmw and get car stereo ads on the side.

  25. Re:Cell distribution I don't get... on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 1
    I think if MS wants to do per-CPU licensing, customers are going to be displeased when multi-core chips come on the market

    I belive MS has already stated that a multi core CPU will be treated as a single CPU
