  1. Re:Seriously? on Microsoft's Unique Innovation · · Score: 0
    In addition to everything others have posted already:
    6. Having all files be "commands" in that if you double-click it examines the file (even if only the filename) and opens it with the correct program.
    Norton Commander and others had this before Windows was even conceived, I think. Windows incorporating applications' functionality is not innovation.
  2. Re:"Star Trek" tie-in? on The Space Shuttle Returns · · Score: 0
    Just what we need, another generation inspired to become astronauts because it means "we can have sex with green women in bikinis".

    Ah, but in Soviet Ru^W^Wseason 4 episode 17, the green women enslave you!

  3. how about wireless power? on More Antennas, Faster Wireless · · Score: 0

    Screw wireless data, there's enough of that already. (Sure, there's always room to improve, but what we have works for most purposes.) What I miss is wireless power!

    Wireless can reduce the cable clutter by eliminating the Ethernet cable and the keyboard and mouse cables, but you still have to power there things, so you either periodically change batteries or recharge them, and thus you either spend money and time, or you forget to recharge and lose even more time.

    It's nice that you can bring your notebook to the office and work on the network without plugging it in, but try working like that for eight hours! You still have to plug in. :-(

    I wonder when someone will invent a useful wireless power source...

  4. Duh... on Paypal Grinds To A Halt · · Score: 1, Funny

    Well duh, of course it's having problems. Slashdot writes "Website X grinds to a halt" and in seconds, it becomes true. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy. ;-)
