  1. Re:ewww on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, so the parent doesn't like the interface so he's modded as "Flamebait"? That's ridiculous.

  2. Re:Was it slander? on Blog Faces Lawsuit Over Reader Comments · · Score: 1

    The burden of proof should be on the offended party to prove the website owner was the one who posted the comment.

  3. Re:ADA on Defeating Captcha · · Score: 1
    If people are having trouble solving these puzzles, then they're probably not getting too much out of my website anyway and would be less likely to using the protected form to leave me a comment or email.

    I agree that if my method were applied to Yahoo Mail signup or eBay or something, then questions would have to be given in different languages.

  4. Re:ADA on Defeating Captcha · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Instead of an image based Turing test like Captcha, I just have the last question on a log in screen or form be a randomly selected super easy question. For example, "Spell the number 7" or "What is the next logical number in the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, ...? Check it out here: http://www.donnyspi.com/contact.php

  5. Re:Great... on Jan 2009 Deadline for HDTV Cutoff · · Score: 1
    Thats why I never understood why cable companies charge more for digital cable...

    Same reason that CDs cost more than tapes and DVDs cost more than VHS tapes. It seems backwards.

  6. Cached on The Internet Archive Sued Over Stored Pages · · Score: 4, Funny

    Better sue everyone who has visited the website in question but never purged their temporary internet files folder.

  7. Re:As one of those 12%, I care. on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1
    Amen! I don't have cable either. My rabbit ears get me 7 channels. I can find something to watch most of the time. When I can't, I turn it off and do something more productive.

    Oh, and I have dial-up internet too :-)

  8. What's to drink? on 'Haute Cuisine' on Mars · · Score: 1

    Fermented Tang?

  9. Re:Good for them. on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1, Funny
    "PHP is the best choice for all php programming."

    That's not saying a whole lot :-). I know what you meant though and I agree that PHP is great.

  10. Re:Great news on New .XXX Top Level Domain · · Score: 1

    XXX isn't a movie rating. X was a one time, but no longer. The correct rating is NC-17.

  11. Re:Most Banks have poor IT. on Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached · · Score: 0

    And by "breading grown" I assume you mean "breeding ground"

  12. Re:Just another SEO contest? on Contagious Media Showdown · · Score: 1

    it sounds more like "Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell to me

  13. Re:Time to fight back on USPTO Issues Email Address Patent to Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. I have already patented the process for sueing the USPTO for negligence. Sorry.

  14. Re:Not PDA-friendly on The History of PDAs in Words and Pictures · · Score: 3, Insightful

    CSS people know that table tags are only for presenting data, not for formatting a web page. Try DIV instead.

  15. 1996-2005 on The History of PDAs in Words and Pictures · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The whole part between 1996 and 2005 seemed to be a blur in the article. Other than that, it was a good summary with some interesting pics.

  16. Re:Sweet. on 45GB Triple-Layer HD DVDs · · Score: 1

    He just wanted to brag about how much HD space he's using.

  17. Re:Who's the bigger fool? on How Lightsabers Work · · Score: 5, Funny

    The biggest fool is the one who writes a comment about a comment about a comment about a /. article about a howstuffworks article about a ficitonal item. heh.

  18. Don't forget... on Microsoft Taps Bloggers to Promote Longhorn · · Score: 1

    In your blog entries, just make sure you remember the (R) after the word Microsoft and the TM after the word Windows or Microsoft(R) will sue you...heh.

  19. Re:Gay bashing has been legitizimized in Bush's US on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: -1, Troll
    Gay bashing is nothing new. Bush didn't introduce the concept. I see no evidence of gay bashing on Bush's part.

    BTW, gay couples shouldn't be allowed to be foster parents. Foster kids need normalcy in their lives. Sorry, gay parents aren't normal.

  20. Useless... on Web Design Hampers Mobile Internet? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    IMO, broswing website using some silly little contraption is silly. Just view the sites on a regualr computer when it's more convenient. Or, every web designer should use CSS and have a handheld-friendly CSS option.

  21. Great... on IBM Unveils Anti-Spam Services to Stop Spammers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now we'll have even more junk traffic slowing things down on the internet. It's a waste of bandwidth, in my opinion, to do this.

  22. I'll bet that case mod... on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 3, Funny

  24. Bill Gates has the wrong trousers on... on The Return of Wallace and Gromit · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder if there is a hidden meaning in the penguin in "The Wrong Trousers". Something about Linux or something :-)

  25. 1's and 0's on Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads · · Score: 1

    It's technically just a bunch of 1's and 0's. It's not really a book or a song. :-)
