  2. Re:Paying on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 1

    * it is recommended that you stop and reboot you car every 100km to avoid a rare situation where the brake and accelerator pedals may sometimes be swapped......

  3. Mozilla password on Mozilla Roadmap Update · · Score: 1

    Will Mozilla have a feature to remember the password on my Yahoo Mail one day? One can only wish.
    Maybe something simple, like if there is a PW FIELD THEN ASK WHETHER TO SAVE THE PW?
    Why do random sites not work with the PW manager?

  4. Re:The incredible shrinking flashcard on M-Flash, Yet Another Flash Memory Format · · Score: 1

    not only that, there is already the miniSD format for phones etc.

  5. I have written a calculator software on Sony to PSP Owners: Just Adapt · · Score: 1

    but it gives the wrong answer when even numbers are input.
    however, this was a design decision to make the calculations 300% faster. I didn't want to make the exe any larger, or the calculations any slower.
    There may be people that complain about its usefulness when it gives wrong answers, but that's something which users will have to adapt to.

  6. Yay! /. becomes a site for breaking laws... on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    now China has a legit reason to ban it.

  7. monopoly? on EA's Profits Up, Workers Get Layoffs · · Score: 1

    don't you have a law preventing mergers that may reduce market competition? EA is getting WAY too big, and yet it's still eating up companies.

    oh what happens during a blackout and only half of you is printed...

  9. old news on Plant a Seed, Get Sued? · · Score: 1

    anyway, usually the seeds are sterilized before being sold to the farmers.

  10. yay! on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1

    now when I am mugged, not only will they take my eyeball and thumb to access my bank account, now they will chop off my whole hand so they can shoot someone in my name.

    also, isnt this discriminatory against disabled people with no hands?

  11. Re:Wish on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I use Mozilla's browser without any other of the :suite:. It feels like people like programming Bells and Whistles more than bugfixing, thus people come together to build a :new: interface (fun part) while doing nothing to help with the core (boring part).

    Unless there are going to be Moz only features and FF only features, there is no reason to split the camp. (of course its too late now)

  12. an idiot proof PC on simPC - Your Grandparents' New Computer? · · Score: 1

    is a PC which has the ability to do exactly NOTHING.

  13. huh on Getting Broadband To The Bayou · · Score: 1

    you cant force kids to go to school, but giving them broadband would magically break the poverty cycle?
    more likely there would be stories of kids with $5000 debt playing online games/etc like the SMS stories...

  14. Wish on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 0

    I wish to know why people split to Firefox instead of helping fix Moz bugs etc? Why can't they work together?

  15. in japan on SMS Text Messaging & Youth Debt One · · Score: 1

    each msg costs 1 cent for 250 chars, and more for longer ones. AND they send/rec internet email. US telcos are ripping everyone off. As are Australian ones.

    anyway, any kid that racks up a $300 bill is an idiot. too bad society thinks it's OK to sue the telco for letting an idiot do a stupid thing tho.

  16. well on Cybernetic Prosthetics for Amputees · · Score: 0, Redundant

    will they be given movement the same as a real limb, or will they for example be able to rotate their wrists 360

  17. Re:iPAQ Support on HP iPAQ hx2750 Pocket PC Review · · Score: 1

    I've had one Toshiba PPC and now a HP iPAQ. No problems with support, tho I'm in Japan so maybe its just the polite Japan way. Didn't like how Toshiba dumped its users in the 2003upgrade area tho.

    Its not like theres much choice in the PPC world...

  18. Re:I am a corporate jet pilot on Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with you and that guy was an idiot for doing it. But 25yrs? So next time someone is agitated, we recommend they go kill some people instead as it has a lower term?

  19. Do they work? on How Do You Drown Out the Office Noise? · · Score: 1

    I've wanted to buy some since about 10yrs ago. But theres never anywhere to 'test' them out, I dont want to drop $100 on a mail order headset.

  20. Sorry on Mozilla Lightning to Challenge Outlook · · Score: 1

  23. if on A Diagnosis of Self-Healing Systems · · Score: 2, Insightful

    if self healing = ms office keeps putting another icon in my start menu whenever I start word, then I don't want self healing.

    How many times do I have to move their icons to a submenu before they realise I don't want my root menu cluttered up with crap?

  24. what about those poor people on FTC Defines Spam · · Score: 1

    in Nigeria who need my help in transferring their money from their politically assassinated parents to the US (which strangely is not where I live so I don't know how I could be of any help)

    well, it's not like there's anywhere we can easily report the stuff anyway

  25. Re:A plea to the Slashdot population on Hacker Sentenced To Longest US Sentence Yet · · Score: 1

    I agree. This guy is a criminal.
    But how many years would he have gotten walking into a bank with a gun but getting clobbered by the guards before he could hurt anyone?
    I would guess a bit less than 9yrs.
