  1. Re:There is a price for what you want on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    I think the parent meant that they were extremely good at making money fast, not at making software. That's the way I read it anyway.

  2. Joke? on Do Unsubscribe Links Stop Spam? · · Score: 1

    Is this a joke? I expect this question from my mother who knows basically nothing, not from slashdot editors who know...uh, never mind.

  3. Re:Doesn't matter to us! on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    Doh! Couple weeks too late for me.

  4. wtf cares? on Microsoft Patents 'IsNot', Enlists WTO · · Score: 1

    WTF (who, not what) cares? They're not trying to patent the real not operator, !.

  5. Re:Goodbye Tivo on Microsoft Takes on TiVo · · Score: 1
    Seems like pretty much any copier is a "xerox" machine, whether or not Xerox made it.

    And if I'm going to have something express delivered to someone else, I tell them I'll "fedex" it, whether I'm going to use FedEx or not.

  6. platforms on Open-Source Cube FPS Game/Engine Updated · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How come this game that is open source, with what I have to think are fewer financial or programming resources than for-profit games, can manage to release a game for 4 platforms? For most games, you get a PC version, and maybe a Mac version or a Linux version significantly later. I know cross platform games exist, but I don't think I've ever heard of a release like this one.

  7. Re:English is a lost art on Web Redesigned With Hindsight · · Score: 1

    I think what the poster was after was: "Effectively, the Semantic Web..." Makes more sense than the original anyway.

  8. Re:PHP blows on PHP Template Engines? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Off-topic, I know, but what does "suXors" mean?

  9. Re:Can't Wait on Safari Beta 2 Available · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty excited about the tabbed browsing. It's quickly becoming a feature I can't live without. And now that Safari has it, I don't have to. I realize I could have used Mozilla on the mac, but I want to support the Mac effort and all their software.

  10. Re:Who the hell is paying her? ... on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    See, she definitely reads National Review. Or else has it pumped into that jack at the base of her skull.

  11. Re:Why governments and data handling don't mix on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So this woman, who thinks for a living, assumes that our gov't would never "misuse technology". Good God, who the hell is paying her. Whether it would be intentional or not, it's pretty safe to think that there are people power-mad enough, and that there are people stupid enough, to misuse technology in seriously harmful ways. She's a f**king automaton, paid and programmed to regurgitate whatever she reads in the National Review.

  12. Re:OSQ on Why Do Some CDRs Smell Like Almonds? · · Score: 1

    You choo-choo-choose me? Much funnier.

  13. Re:Have fun on Sun to Amp Java for Desktop Performance? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I personally think it would be nice to be able to drag and drop gui elements with some Eclipse plugin, but then go in and whack at the code to get what I'm after. It's just too much of a pain in the ass to build complex guis by hand.

  14. Just two more standards on Public Standards: C# 2, Java 0 · · Score: 1

    for Microsoft to not adhere to in the future, f**king anyone dumb enough to assume that they would .

  15. Re:Pfft. on Psychology of a Programmer · · Score: 1

    Code is beautiful. I call it art. Sometimes, if it's particularly beautiful, self-congratulations are in order.

  16. Re:I am here to eschew bad 1 liners on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1
    The best one liner ever is from the opening scene of Way of the Gun (Does the one liner not count if the movie was appreciated?):
    You better shut that c**t up before I come over there and f**k-start her head.
    The rest of that scene has some more excellent lines (and a kick-ass soundtrack).
  17. Re:Progression on Screenshot History of Windows · · Score: 1

    what a sorry-ass collection o' crap that is.

  18. Re:Go get em JBoss! on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's about time Sun gave JBoss the chance to prove themselves. However, we've been using JBoss successfully for over two years, and will continue to do so regardless what happens between Sun and JBoss. But...go JBoss!!!
