  1. Re:hmm... on Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find that "Live Bookmarks" fall a bit short of the mark in as far as reading RSS feeds is concerned. If I click the link it works for me. I get a message from Firefox at the top of the page saying, "To protect your computer, Firefox prevented this site (slashdot.org) from installing software on your computer."

  2. Re:hmm... on Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner · · Score: 1

    It's not supposed to be funny at all. It's a link to an XUL application (Firefox extension) And, as far as I know, Thunderbird has a RSS news reader, not Firefox. The link probably isn't working because your browser (If you are using IE) doesn't know what to do with the XPI file, or (if you are using Firefox) the installation of the XPI is being blocked.

    ;-) You'd get taken to court by a buncha cowboys!

  4. So which is worse? on Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Cybersquatting or intimidation?

  5. Requirements on 1-Click Blooper Playback for Original Trilogy DVD · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Windows, DVD-ROM drive/playback capability, and a copy of the Star Wars Trilogy Bonus DVD"


    Silly me! There I was using my CD-ROM drive on Mandrake looking for the Easter Egg on my Matrix Reloaded DVD!

  6. Re:Servers Running Linux on Linux Server Sales to Reach $9.1 Billion by 2008 · · Score: 1

    But my sister wants to open her own "Servers that Run Linux" company too. Is this only a male thing?

  7. It's about time... on Lycos Anti-Spam Site Compromised [Updated] · · Score: 1

    ... we all fought back. Being passive about the spam problem isn't going to do much about getting spam to go away. I, for one, support what Lycros have done and I can't wait for them to get the makelovenotspam site back up again, so that I can download the screen saver.

  8. No wonder... on Lying Makes The Brain Work Harder · · Score: 1

    ... my brain is so slow! Signed - Pinocchio

  9. A Turkish court... on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    ...has recently passed a 10 month sentence on all who ate turkey on thanksgiving day. Almost as ridiculous!

  10. This sounds dangerous! on Air Force Orders Up A Custom Windows Monoculture · · Score: 1
    " ...so the software system can be managed and supported much as traditional weapons systems are."

    Sounds as if they are going to put "traditional weapons" in the hands of madmen.
  11. Re:Too rare to care about? on More Exploding Cellphones In The News · · Score: 1

    Unless of course it happens to be your head talking on the phone when it decides to explode?

  12. Three letter word... on More Exploding Cellphones In The News · · Score: 1

    ... ending with X that makes you deaf? Exploding cell phone?? Damn! That has more than three letters.

    Bill? Is that you?

    I agree! A hit-man would have been a lot cheaper.

    ... if I stick a barcode on the sexy number in the mini-skirt that sits in the cubical opposite mine, and then take a pic of the barcode, that someone will buy her for me?

    I'm buy-sexual... If I can't get it I buy it.

  18. I bathed last week! on Author of Linux Patent Study Contradicts Ballmer · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod!

  19. Personal experience with anti spyware tools on Failing Grades For Most Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been using a few different anti spyware tools in parallel because it seems as if there isn't a single tool that can reliable remove all spyware.

  20. Firefox XUL on FireFox Sets the World Ablaze · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just recently got into XUL and it's great! There are still a few bugs but I have no doubt that they'll be ironed out in future versions. Apart from being a more secure and faster browser, IMHO XUL is going to be the final nail in IE's coffin.

  21. It might not mean much to the mighty vole... on Google Muscles Into Microsoft's Turf · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ... but it's still nice to see someone prepared to take them on. Go Google! Go Firefox! Go Linux (And go anything and everyone else that is undermining their monopoly)

    According to my better half, fluff is the "polite form" of fart. So I guess that makes a fluffer a farter? Mmmmm... Applying the same logic, I guess flatter means wet-one?

  24. So now... on Fox Starts TV Production For Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... I can talk and watch at the same time. I always knew that having an eye in my ear would come in handy one day.

  25. This is so funny I can't stop laughing! on Time to Kill Microsoft Word? · · Score: 1

    A summary of the usefulness of MS Word in two short sentences! The REALLY funny bit is, did MS Word also add the full stop to the "After" sentence? LMAO
