  1. Re:Flamebait on Google Reportedly Ditching Windows · · Score: 1

    I don't have an iPad, but damn... That's the best list of reasons for getting one I ever saw.

  2. Re:haha on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 1

    All you had to do is to press Cmd-Shift-S to login in single-user mode, start DirectoryService daemon and reset your password. I don't see how this procedure could be easier.

    Or you want to reset user password with "point and click"?

  3. Re:Apples website in general on Apple's Haves and Have Nots, Around the World · · Score: 1

    Download developer documentation, it's all in there. Accelerometer - it is LIS331DL chip, first hit in google, ffs.

  4. Re:Ubuntu on Critical Flaw Found In Virtually All AV Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is why I always type /usr/bin/sudo instead of just sudo. And people call me paranoid...

  5. Re:What about getting back some... on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    You can have my 127/8 when you pry it from my cold dead fingers, you insensitive clod!

  6. Re:Underlying technology. on Rumor — AT&T Losing iPhone Exclusivity Next Week · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No wonder, when the whole country population is about a half of NYC (5.5 vs 9 millions)

  7. Re:My e71 already does this on Nokia To Make GPS Navigation Free On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    -Symbian is years ahead of Apple or Google's OS
     
    Whoa, that's a good one.

  8. Re:Look, it's actually not bad on Bing Gaining Market Share Faster · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be easier to just set your home page to google.com? Just sayin..

  9. Re:And another thing on Bing Gaining Market Share Faster · · Score: 1

    Not for me. Clicking your "CreateWindow" link from Safari on Mac shows "Administering Team Foundation" as a top result. So either search is still a shit, or it is actually a conspiracy to confuse us Mac users.

  10. Um.. on Attractive Open Source Search Interfaces? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Just curious, what's 'political market' ? Is it really that bad already?

  11. Yet Another Format on Five Top Publishers Plan Rival to Kindle Format · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with ePub?

  12. No worries on LHC Knocked Out By Another Power Failure · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Very useful. Especially in corporate environments.

  14. What? on Installing Linux On Old Hardware? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What is this obsession with old or cheap crap hardware recently? No, really.. I'm not trolling, this is a honest question. Did everyone here gone broke or something?

    As to the original poster, why don't you do us all a favor and recycle this old piece of shyt, buy a used 3 years old notebook and stop wasting everybody's time by asking for support of 15 years old hardware.

  15. Re:Brain... locking... up... on Microsoft Files Suits Against "Malvertisers" · · Score: 0, Troll

    WTF are you talking about, since when javascript is a third-party plugin? I think you need to switch to decaf and learn a little...

  16. Re:Browsers might be ready for GL but not Javascri on Initial WebGL Support Lands In WebKit · · Score: 1

    I feel your pain, man.. Been developing "web 2.0" (hate that word) apps for the past 4 years, I can say that lack of sleep() and any real threading support in Javascript (Prototype's defer() and its friends is not an answer) is the biggest obstacle. Won't someone think of poor web developers?

  17. Re:Lack of user-testing on Why Users Drop Open Source Apps For Proprietary Alternatives · · Score: 1

    The UNIX framework is not mature anymore

    Now that, that I can agree with. Life only begins at 40.

  18. Re:Stability on Why Users Drop Open Source Apps For Proprietary Alternatives · · Score: 1

    Especially on Mac.

  19. Wait a sec... on Microsoft Launches Its Own Open Source Foundation · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are we in Soviet Russia now?

  20. Re:What day is it? on Apple Announces iTunes 9, "LPs," Video Camera For the iPod Nano · · Score: 1

    Here is announcement of one such antenna... And here (PDF warning) is one of the many possible designs of fractal antenna - Sierpinski Monopole (scroll to the middle of the document). As you can see, the antenna with size of about 9 cm is resonant at 0.44, 1.75, 3.51, 7.01 and 13.89 GHz. Pretty cool stuff.

  21. Re:And.... on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think Slashdot pretty much qualifies, no?

  22. Re:Sounds more like on How To Hire a Hacker · · Score: 1

    Not stupid or clueless. "Intellectual majority", please...

  23. Re:Encourage use of MS tech by making the SDK free on iPhone App Wins Microsoft-Campus Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    No you can't. Installing and debugging app on the device requires Apple signed certificate (provisioning profile) and that costs $99. But then again, any sane developer can recover this cost in a few days of sales.

  24. Re:Encourage use of MS tech by making the SDK free on iPhone App Wins Microsoft-Campus Programming Contest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, two months ago I gladly payed $100 second time for my iDP program. Fanboism has nothing to do with it - these costs were recovered on the first day of my app sales.

    Some people spending money on apple stuff, some people are making money on the apple stuff.
    Some are just posting on Slashdot.

  25. Six millionths of an inch on Scientists Deliver Bee Toxin To Tumors Via "Nanobees" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Six millionths of an inch is 150 nm. Wouldn't it be easier to just write "150 nm", or "six millionths of an inch" is somehow easier to comprehend?
    Why not "five trillionths of a feet" then?
