  1. Re:Choice is a Good Thing on Comparing Firefox 3 With Opera 9.5 On Linux · · Score: 1

    Until Opera gets developer tools AT LEAST on par with Internet Explorer (6), I find it very difficult to support Opera in any complex web interface. It also lacks proper ARIA support, and key handling. I don't know exactly what you mean by "developer tools" but here you go. and one thing I know is how "friendly" IE is with developers. and I dont mean Balmer's "developers".
  2. Re:Space-constrained? on Via Debuts Mini-ITX 2.0 · · Score: 1

    The reason they use crappy chipsets is because they're cheaper than the good stuff, and Mini-ITX is primarily about money, secondly about size. the reason they use crappy chipsets is because they're VIA.

    Likely, all you will need to do with subversion is this: > cd /usr/ports > svn update ... come back later to an updated portage tree. heathen!

    It seems Voice commands figure heavily into their statement.

    Simply put, Slackware is a distro for people who have plenty of time to waste.

    simply put, Slackware is a distro for people who have plenty of time to invest in something that they really like/care about and dont have a constant need to whine about the smallest thing that "breaks". but I guess that's a novell concept for you spoonfed motherfuckers.

    I find the constant bashing of Slackware for being hard to use and arcane quite ironic (situational irony). simple is not hard and arcane. simple is efficient.

    (disclaimer: I am no longer a Slackware user, but I still can appreciate something of real quality)

    fuck em if they can't take a joke

    (apologies for failing at quoting your insightful remarks in my previous post)

    I played it for 5 months, and I tried really hard to have fun with it, but it still is by far the most boring MMO I've ever played. I believe the fact that it is a game for grownups (that possibly enjoyed Elite while growing up) is a big hurdle for your average "gamer".

    Funny how you seem to know all the secrets to making a MMORPG "fun and interesting and genuinely massive", yet none of the companies that make these games can figure it out. CCP figured it out.

    this is what happens when normal people start pretending to be geeks. the drama starts. I expect a FOX special report on this pretty soon. "Blogs: The Silent Killers of People Prone to Getting Fat After Sitting on Their Ass for a Long Time"

    I don't hear the Slashdot crew whining about reporting news for over 10 years. I guess they really like what they really do and don't feel the need for guilttripping themselves

    Actually, a skilled abacuser can work a lot more efficiently than most of us can with a calculator. this takes me about 15 seconds to type on a shitty keyboard:

    $ echo 17*21*56^2/8.5 | bc
    131712
    so, about 1 hour faster than your skilled example? I'm just ballparking it here, I don't happen to know any skilled abacusers in person. do they drop good loot?

    don't agree with your assertion that "most people" would have terminal servers and remote power control units, but rock on. unless you run your "production systems" in your grandma's basement(s), any half decent datacenter should have that basic equipment.

    People in the movie theater enjoyed the dizzying effect for 2 hours.

    mistery fucking solved. the non-sucky content was probably located in the 36 minutes which were not present in the version everyone else saw. so what did we miss? half an hour of drunken repartee? perhaps some dry humping in a closet? the monster's mom?

    I'm glad I was at least able to skip through it (hence my late posting). *cough*
