  1. Re:How is this about fear? on DHS to Send Widespread Alerts · · Score: 1
    DHS is about protection and security.

    No, DHS is about making "white people feel safe."

    174.27683 kilobytes for every man woman and child in the US. In one box!

    Holy shit, this can easily be one 1024x768 jpeg image per person! If we automatically throw out the dudes and everyone under 18* or over 35**, there would be enough space for a small gallery!

    Pick your poison: antlions or Shai-Hulud.

    Thumpers have the opposite effect on the maker, IIRC.
  4. Re:Crash free versions on Opera Seeks Developer Input For Opera 10 · · Score: 1
    Varsions that dont intermittently core dump on MacOSX, Windows and FreeBSD would be really cool.

    Looks like you posted it in the wrong thread.
  5. Re:The Opera company is mismanaged in three ways: on Opera Seeks Developer Input For Opera 10 · · Score: 1
    But in Opera, I must choose one of those pages with the mouse. In Firefox, I don't have to remove my hand from the home row of keys; I just press the Tab key to choose the page I want, and then press the Enter key.

    And this is an example of bad UI in Opera? The URL field is basically a combobox, and its behavior does not include changing items with tab, the arrow keys do that. The expected behavior of the tab key is to switch focus to the next (or previous) control.
  6. Re:Motorola has this already? on Headset Uses Bone-Conduction Technology · · Score: 1

    Nope, from a quick glance it seems to be using the (relativly) simple in-ear technology, similar to these isolating earphones.

  7. I haven't said it before, on The Worst Tech of Q2 2006 · · Score: 2, Informative

    but I'll say it now; The name change might be good for publicity, but I still find the new name retarded.

    Segway... hey, they laughed at bikers for YEARS... back in the 19th century.

    Hey, I still do, because it's so easy! They're riding those bikes while rubbing their genitals against the saddle, wearing those ghey tight shorts (or moronic baggy ones) and stupid fugly helmets, taking up space on the roads for no reason at all.

    I hope by "bikers" you meant the people riding bicycles, not motorbikes. Those guys would kick my ass.
  9. Re:Too Bad on The Making of Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 1
    But the shooting/targeting/aiming controlls have been abysmal.

    That's because you were playing the lame-ass console version. There are no such problems on the PC. Here, if the aiming sucks, it's not really the aiming that sucks, but you and your aiming skill.

    [..] when the FBI kicks in your door and takes your computer to see what kiddie porn sites you've been surfing, having random unknown people using your internet connection won't seem so cool anymore...

    Depends on who was surfing the kiddie porn sites, doesn't it ;)
  15. Re:In other news... on Office 2007 Delayed Again · · Score: 2, Funny
    Open Office 2.0.3 was released today for the low low cost of NOTHING :)

    And it sucks just as much as the previous version, so you won't miss anything by upgrading! ;P

    No, but our understanding has.

    Since everyone else here decided to skip all the boring talk about the technology involved and jump right into a flamewar, I hereby submit my contribution.

  20. Re:Trust the FCC... on FCC Approves New Internet Phone Taxes · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Freedom is more complex than being able to say "fuck" on TV, okay?

    Sure it is, but it's somewhat scary when there's a secret list of things you can't say on TV/radio, and get your ass fined to the poorhouse if you do.
  21. Threat #1? on Ask Håkon About CSS or...? · · Score: 1
  22. Won't work on ASCII World Cup · · Score: 1

    As somebody already said, there are no games played right now, but even if there were, nobody would be able to enjoy it because "Too many connections" was the error I got during all but the first few matches.

  23. Horrible on DIY 4 GHz Dual Core Gaming Rig For $720 · · Score: 3, Insightful
    What a horrible article (on itself, and it being here on slashdot).
    • Slashdotted
    • Ludicrous number of pages
    • Same for ads
    • $120 wasted on watercooling
    • 2x160GB drives in RAID0?
    • A gaming rig with an X1300?!?


    My $800 system from 3.5 years ago would beat this in most games with justa a $100 video card upgrade.

    I'm laughing, of course, at this:

    17 pages is insane (thanks for letting me know how many I avoided). Even with blocking the ads ...

    You must be new to this Interweb thing if you still think 17 pages is impressive
