  1. Spelling Mistake.... on KDE Plans 'Google-like' Search Capabilities · · Score: 1

    "...the community has already been discussing and writing code for the new search engine at the KDE Community World Summit."

    I believe it should say Kummunity World Summit.

  2. Question...... on Anatomy Of A Bug In Microsoft Office · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, your Ferrari has a broken cupholder?

    Here, drive this Yugo instead.

    Which one is the Ferrari and which one is the Yugo? Don't think about this question for more than two seconds otherwise your head will explode!!

  3. No... on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    The DOJ deals with domestic "terrorists." The NSA are the ones that are supposed to go after foreign threats however recently the FBI has become involved.

  4. The Real Reason on Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Senator was blacklisted to save the airlines money. Free booze in First Class has to have limits.

    WTF are these mother fuckers smoking...are they completly retarded or something???

    How dare you ask that question. It should read as follows:

    These guys are smoking dog shit...their mothers(I guess bastards can't have a mother) dropped them on their heads daily as small children.

    Please don't ask questions. When you ask questions it appears that you don't have the answer.

    I would have to disagree with you. I've used OSX and enjoy it.

  10. Couldn't Agree More.... on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 1

    I am a tech at a local school district. Recently I started installing Mozilla on all of our new machines. A few days later I was asked by my boss what the Mozilla thing was. My answer went something like this:

    "Mozilla is an open source web browser."

    Wrong answer. I was cut off after the first sentence. I went on trying to explain that Mozilla is Netscape without all of the added AOL garbage. He wouldn't get off the name.

    Mozilla, that's a funny name. Well if it's like Netscape then just install Netscape. I don't want to see the Mozilla stuff installed on our machines."

    I have continued to install Mozilla with just a few modifications. I have renamed the shortcut on the desktop to "Netscape," changed the icon, and disabled the startup splash-screen.

    My boss didn't notice the difference.

  14. Re:Come on....... on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 1

    Some artists sign a contract with these companies and basically sell their soul. I know these artists get nothing compared to the companies they sign with. Here is the truth, however. Most artists, no matter what type, never sign with a large publishing company. I'm going to say it again even if it is a baldface lie. Artists deserve to get paid for their hard work. With current technolgies this is not always possible. I look at the iTMS as a great success. I don't have any problem with Apple's DRM. It is flexible for personal use (other than iPod only for portable players). Independent artists of all types should band together and create a similar system. Once again I am not defending large publishing companies. I just think artists deserve to get paid because we have to do this for our children. (joke)

  15. Happening Soon.... on eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back · · Score: 2, Funny

    Somewhere in Nigeria

    "Ha, Ha. Look, more money from those stupid Americans. I can't believe anyone would send a stranger money."

    "Hey Aba, open the envelope and see how much we got this time."

    "Son of a bitch!!! It's Monopoly money. Damn. Wait a second, what is this white powder?"

    "Is it sugar?"

    "I don't know, I'll taste it to see."

    I think if this plan were implemented, scams from Nigeria would decline drastically.

  16. Come on....... on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think the motive behind this bill is evil. Artists deserve to be paid for their work. With that being said, I don't think Senator Hatch, Senator Daschle, Senator Frist, Senator Graham, Senator Boxer, and Senator Leahy realize the consequences of this bill.

    Members of both parties support this bill. What does that say? Think about it. Officials will not be re-elected if iPods, DVD burners, ect. are outlawed.

    Contact these Senators. Tell them how you feel about this bill. Point out the consequences created by this bill. Lastly, please stop making copyright laws a one party issue because it is not.

  17. Why Apple?..... on Software Monoculture in Schools? · · Score: 1

    I am a tech at our local school district. Our district has 15 schools with about 3500+ computers. When new computers are ordered we must shop for the best prices since we are publicly funded. Decisions are made based on cost which is always in favor of the Windows PC.

    I don't think you'll need that much power. A high power rifle with a scope would do just fine, IMHO.

    In order to have a conspiracy there must be more than one person knowingly involved. You can not conspire with yourself. Conspire with yourself, that sounds naughty.

  23. NOT A TROLL!!! on Mozilla 1.7 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have had similar problems. Most web designers design their web pages with IE in mind. My online banking doesn't render correctly in Mozilla 1.6 or Firefox. It is a shame. I have contacted this bank, which will remain unnamed, and they said, "Our online banking system is best supported by Internet Explorer."

    As far as Slashdot goes, I do sometimes have problems rendering the page, especially the user login.

    These small problems mean nothing in the big picture. I love Mozilla.
