  1. Re:blarg on Wired Writer Disappears, Find Him and Make $5k · · Score: 0

    It'll be funny when a Mac user wins the $5K and has to admit finding him on the other side of a glory hole.

    LOLOL BECAUSE MACS ARE GAY AND THUS THEIR USERS ARE.

    Hilarious.

  2. Yeah right on While My Guitar Gently Beeps · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the world is fucking preparing for the second coming of the Beatles because a new Rock Band is coming out. Right.

  3. Re:Wrong link on Mac, Linux Support For Quake Live, Preview of Rage · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't sweat it, no one here reads the articles anyway ;-)

  4. Re:Antitrust avoidance on Microsoft Acknowledges Linux Threat To Windows · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Regardless of whether you are making good points, you really lose credibility with shit like "M$ Winbloze". Just so you know.

  5. Re:T-Mobile on David Pogue Wants to Take Back the Beep · · Score: 1

    Well yes, it would be 120 minutes, but it would be 120 minutes even if there was just a beep and you left a message - the point I was making was that if your message isn't over 45 seconds (thus rounding it up to 2 minutes rather than 1) then it won't be any different. I will admit that the message is annoying as hell to listen to, though.

  6. T-Mobile on David Pogue Wants to Take Back the Beep · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile doesn't charge me to call my own voicemail, so that doesn't matter. As far as leaving a message for others, does anyone really leave longer than a 45-second message anyway (keeping the total under a minute)? Name, number, quick reason you're calling, that's all you need usually.

  7. Re:Thanks on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 1

    Works for me on XP between Firefox 3.5 and Photoshop CS4, although in Photoshop it came through as 3j3h1akp.bmp, when on Google's site it was originally logo.gif - Firefox in this case does not pass a URL, but rather creates a temporary bitmap (not sure if that's already how it was stored in cache, or if it created that copy for the drag-n-drop).

  8. Re:Market share on YouTube Phasing Out Support For IE6 · · Score: 1

    Double taskbar.

  9. Re:About time on YouTube Phasing Out Support For IE6 · · Score: 3, Informative

    I hate whatever new it is that they did, but as soon as it appeared a year or two ago, I enabled "Classic Index" in options - I can't stand how /. looks when I'm not logged in.

  10. Re:Lies and Lying Liars. on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Looks fine in Chrome at 1024x600, but then, I've been on the "Classic" index and commenting system ever since the crappy new one came out.

  11. Re:big issue is NoScript on Sniffing Browser History Without Javascript · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are you aware of a lot of crapware that comes with a freshly installed Ubuntu system?

    Does Ubuntu come with emacs?

  12. Metroid: Other M Trailer on Nintendo Announces New Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy, Metroid · · Score: 2, Informative

    Instead of slashdotting a smaller site hosting a shaky-cam video of the trailer, how about a high quality direct-feed video on a larger site? Metroid: Other M trailer

  13. Re:Title on Left 4 Dead 2 Announced For November · · Score: 1

    I thought about that after posting, but the reason I said Left 8 Dead is I figured you could multiply the 4 and 2.. but looking at it like Left(4)Dead(2) I suppose it should be titled "8(Left)(Dead)".

  14. Title on Left 4 Dead 2 Announced For November · · Score: 5, Funny

    Left 4 Dead 2? What about Left 8 Dead?

  15. Re:Whew! on Google Considers Taking Beta Tag Off Gmail · · Score: 1

    Point taken, but I meant nice in terms of speed. I love my 10-15Mbps for 50 bucks a month.

  16. Re:Whew! on Google Considers Taking Beta Tag Off Gmail · · Score: 1

    Well, through basic logical reasoning, you can deduce the problem is with your assy Starband connection, considering Google works with every other ISP. Of course Google will ignore your tech support. Move near civilization and get a nice Comcast connection.

  17. Give it up on Chrome EULA Reserves the Right To Filter Your Web · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you don't like an obscure part of the EULA of a free and optional piece of software, use one of the many alternatives (Firefox, Opera, Safari) - although I'm sure there's something for you to bitch about in their agreements as well (or let me guess, Opera and Safari aren't free-as-in-speech so they're out of the picture?)

    Take off the damn tinfoil hat and stop cluttering the Slashdot index with this bullshit.

    I use Firefox, but if I preferred Chrome, I wouldn't worry that it was automagically filtering content to be pro-Google or something.

  18. Re:Colbert trumps Scientology; everyone wins. on Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest · · Score: 1

    You know the Germans make good stuff.

  19. Re:learning curves on Dvorak Layout Claimed Not Superior To QWERTY · · Score: 1

    I'll take my measly 115 WPM on QWERTY to be able to type on any device I run across in North America.

  20. Re:Why is the government even subsidizing this? on DTV Coupon Program Out of Money · · Score: 1

    Not to mention news - I'm sure the government has a vested interest in people still being able to watch the news.

  21. Re:I question the results. on 32bit Win7 Vs. Vista Vs. XP · · Score: 3, Informative

    In my experience, as long as you weren't on a complete piece of shit of a computer, XP did start up faster than 2000, and also application startup times were noticeably faster.

  22. Re:Downside... on Running Android On Netbooks · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Can you change resolution without editing a config file and restarting X yet?

  23. I don't care what category on The Best Computer Mice In Every Category · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't care what category it is - best mice are: Logitech MX518, Logitech G5 (1st edition has a less annoying texture, 2nd edition has 2 side buttons, but no perfect edition like MX518), and G7 (wireless G5 basically).

  24. Re:Not just cost, but optics on Why LEDs Don't Beat CFLs Even Though They Should · · Score: 1

    I can't speak for surefire, but my MagLite has no problem going underwater at the beach, and sitting in the sand constantly!

  25. Re:There is only one keyboard on The Best Keyboards For Every Occasion · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the arrow key and home/insert/end/pgup/pgdn layout are really my only beefs with it, but I've gotten used to them. The thing that really makes the newer ones unusable for me is F-Lock - I use the function keys constantly, but I also use Pause/Break and PrintScreen. If you have F-Lock on, you get normal function keys but Pause/Break and PrintScreen turn into something else. If you have it off, you get the latter 2, but lose your function keys. That just annoys me to no end, so I stick with the white one.
