  1. Re:A "Beta?" on Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage · · Score: 3, Funny

    No testing is necessary; they already tested IE 6, and the first release of 7 will only be IE6 with a new skin. It will be 2008 before SP1 comes out, which will include the new features and security fixes for 2005.

    Congratulations, you just reinforced the all-to-true stereotype of grammar-nags being egotistical asswipes. There's more to life than grammar jackass, try getting laid some day.

    I get laid every night, that's why I can be an asswipe, because I don't have to worry about my Karma.

    I guess now we now for sure where the foundanion is headed. The new Netscape can probably take the place of a lot of the suite.

    Congratulations, you completely bastardized the intelligence of the typical mid-twenties slashdotter by defecating all over our spelling and grammar rules with a single sentence.

    For example, dating sites currently suck far worse than search did before Google.

    And all this time I thought it was because only the sweet-and-sour smelling, star trek fanatisizing slashdotting dweeb crowd used them!

    If 15% of people who enjoyed a cold beer or a glass of wine were considered alcoholics I'm sure the word "only" wouldn't be in the headline.

    That would depend on whether or not CowboyNeil was drunk at the time of the posting.

    Washington Post in Ontario for libel, arguing that because the Post's Web site carried the story. his reputation had been "damaged" in that province.

    Talk about poor journalism. Isn't that supposed to be a comma after story?

    This comes on the heals of rival Check Point being breached for 145,000 profiles last month in a similar case. Better check yourself.

    Symantec tried this about a year ago. Sadly, this is going to affect the businesses of security-based companies all over France.

  22. Re:You illustrate his point on OSS Unix: Dividing & Conquering Itself · · Score: 1

    But the fact that windows has remained so static, shouldn't that be a sign that nothing really innovative has come out of Microsoft the past 15 or so years? Dramatic redesigns are evidence of fresh vision and progress. If tires from the Model-T fit onto your Ford Explorer, that would be a sign that something was wrong wouldn't it?

  23. Microsoft's consistent... on OSS Unix: Dividing & Conquering Itself · · Score: 2, Funny

    While the UNIX vendors beat eachother up over what amounted to nitpicking details, another vendor offered the same consistent kind of software experience across a broad spectrum of hardware, including laptops. I am referring, of course, to Microsoft/Intel.

    Yup you could always count on that blue screen of death no matter what hardware you ran on - at least it gave you a warm fuzzy feeling inside!

    In mid-2002, HP's labs became solely focused on finding ways for other businesses to save money.
