  1. Re:Another solution looking for a problem on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    >Correlate, interpret, conclude. There's your first mistake. Correlation does not imply causation. Rule number one of Statistics.

    (Actually, the first rule is something like "Do not talk about Stat Club" but that's never on the exams.)

  2. Re: stable releases on Mozilla 1.7 to Become New Long-Lived Branch · · Score: 1

    The linux kernel uses "even is stable" - this gentleman was alluding to that.

  3. Re:Why the user agent string?? on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 1
    "Firefox popularity will decrease in statistics and web masters will feel less reasons to support Firefox"
    You're right. But long live the reign of the Steakzilla Web-bunny!

    Seriously, man. Don't be so gloomy. The logs are going to look hilarious because there will be an extra 200 slices of the pie graph that have one or two visits each. There isn't an importa^H^H^H^H^H^H web master that doesn't read slashdot, or hasn't heard of this extension. They'll see "Hyperdonkey" and say "Oh, it's one of those wacky OSS freaks with their zany Firesomething extension."
  4. Re:Dispose() on Four Big ISPs File Six Anti-Spam Suits · · Score: 1

    Dude, Mailinator is a site that offers free disposable email addresses with no password/signup/registration. Read the link before you go flaming helpful posts.

  5. Re:Floppys used to be better.. on Recovering Secret HD Space · · Score: 1

    Damn straight. When I poke a hole in my $StorageDevice, I want to double its capacity, not cause some pithy "bad sector critical error #042 omgwtf"

  6. Not to make light of the situation... on Columbia's Final Minutes in Detail · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...but, honestly, if there's a cooler way to die than at 200,000 feet above the surface of the planet, going 18 times the speed of sound in the world's most expensive and high-tech airplane, wearing a day-glow orange jumpsuit that says McCool on it, I'd really like to know.

  7. Re:Bad idea but bound to happen with todays thinki on Internationalized Domain Names Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Errr, congratulations. Your Ethnocentric garbage has been modded up. English was not the first and is not the only language in the world, and just because someone who spoke English designed the standards we use today does not justify those standards excluding all other languages for all time. I'd expect someone as gung-ho on the English language to be able to spell "ludicrous" correctly. Turn off the MTV and turn on something educational.

  8. Re:nuclear power is cleaner.... on Toshiba Pushes Safe, Small Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: 1

    Actually, the article says that the core is small enough that it can be recycled easily. (It's about the size of a garbage can)

  9. Amazing how stupid these corporations think we are on First Napster 2.0 Review · · Score: 1

    Napster was free P2P filesharing. It's only as good as the number of people using it. "Napster 2.0" is a network you log into with an account you pay for, to get music off their central network. Brand loyalty only goes so far. Are any of us about to buy Red Hat brand cyanide? Actually...

  10. Old news. on More on E-textiles: Electronic Smart Fabric · · Score: 1

    Clothes have been smarter than many of the people who wear them for years.

  11. A swift kick in the rear on Magnatune - a Non-Evil Record Label? · · Score: 4, Funny

    To the first tinfoil hat owning AC to suggest the RIAA submitted this to get their competition /.ed off the face of the planet. =)

  12. What a disappointment: on Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're not /.ed yet. You call that clicking?

  13. Actually...character editor would've worked. on Reviving A Dead Hard Drive The Hard Way · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Programs like character editors allow you to make a new saved game (on a new hard drive) and then do all the hex editing required to change the character's name, level, experience, skills, equipment, etc. No need to get at the old save game.
