  1. Re:There are ~1,308,361 American dead... on Don't Panic, It's Towel Day! · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, ten out of ten for on-topic reply, but minus several million for not respecting the dead.

  2. Re:My Kingdom for a Datagrid Element! on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    When's the last time you laid out a site without a table element on every page?

    About 6 years ago, if not more?

    The table element is to display tabular data, not for the layout of websites.

  3. Re:And remember folks. on Pentagon Seeks a New Generation of Hackers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And good luck denying cyber-attacks against other countries with a publicly announced program like that.

  4. Re:Am I the only one... on What to Do With a $99 Wall Wart Linux Server · · Score: 1

    Nope, it's now down to $91.58

  5. Re:cheap? on Plastic and Fuel That Grow On Trees · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does it absolutely require oil energy? If all it requires is electricity/heat, it can be from wind, solar or hydro power.

    No I didn't RTFA, this is slashdot.

  6. Re:Please, please, do NOT.... on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: 4, Funny

    This sounds more like a script for an episode of Family Guy or South Park.

  7. Re:How, exactly on Moblin 2.0 Released, Intel's Linux For Netbooks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Bypass all of the useless Web 2.0 Flash/Java/AJAX pushed by their marketing department:

    www.dilbert.com/fast/

    Seriously, if there's one website that should know better than to listen to their marketing department, it's Dilbert.com

    Thanks.

    And they have a plan.

    About 40 minutes later: 2.8 of 666 MB (0.8 KB/sec) 9 days, 11 hours remaining.

    Seriously, that's what torrents are for.

  11. Download speed on Moblin 2.0 Released, Intel's Linux For Netbooks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or shall I say download slowness:

    2.8 of 666 MB (3.8 KB/sec) 2 days, 1 hour remaining.

    Not to mention that they mention a VMWare image on a page, link to the download page and no VMWare image can be found there.

  12. My preecioooous! on Moblin 2.0 Released, Intel's Linux For Netbooks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh wait, Moblin, not Goblin.

    Carry on.

  13. Re:When does it stop? on Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn" · · Score: 1

    Guns don't kill people.

    Bullets moving at very high speed kill people.

  14. Re:We've come a long way, baby on A History of 3D Cards From Voodoo To GeForce · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually CGA was only 4 simultaneous colors, from only two color palettes.

    P.S.: read the "160x100 16 color mode" part. Interesting stuff.

  15. Re:Next up: on Google Tricycles To Map Footpaths For Street View · · Score: 1

    And after that: Google Ants!

  16. Re:Very scary indeed on HP Recalls 70,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    Sony?

  17. Re:I wonder on Toshiba Sues Over DVD Patents · · Score: 1

    Re-invent a new format just to drive down the price of a 0.25$ disc with nearly 8GB of storage capacity?

    I can't help but ask: Why?!

  18. Re:The problem is with Adobe... on Drive-By Download Poisons Google Search Results · · Score: 2, Funny

    She probably wants a pony too, try getting that to run in a browser !

    No problemo.

  19. Check Apple's website on Embedding Video In a Site For iPhone/iPod? · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://developer.apple.com/safari/mobile.php

    It's worth signing up for a free account, even if it's only to access Mobile Safari's documentation.

  20. Not so much free as "unavailable". on Turn Your iPhone Into a Web Server · · Score: 1

    It's not available from the Canadian iTunes Store.

    So either someone messed up when they submitted the application, there's a delay before it shows up in the Canadian store, or Rogers is screwing everybody including iPod touch owners.

    Which one of the three is it, I don't know.

  21. Re:The size of WHAT? on Gamepark Releases the GP2X Wiz · · Score: 1

    The buttons of the GP2x Wiz still looks like a gamepad shape to me from the photos. With square corners too.

    As for playstation, there is a real gamepad on the PS/PS2 gamepads (and PS3 too, I assume). Yes there is a "hole" in the middle but underneath it's still only one piece.

  22. Dear AMD, intel, nVidia, etc on AMD Breaks 1GHz GPU Barrier With Radeon HD 4890 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As you may have seen from the sales of netbooks and low-power computers, the future is... wait for it... low-power devices!

    Where are the 5W GPUs? Does the nVidia 9400M require more than 5W?

  23. Re:All you need to know on Gamepark Releases the GP2X Wiz · · Score: 3, Funny

    Alright then, I'm taking out my credit card.

    Oh wait, it's maxed out!

    VISA beats the Wiz!

  24. Re:It is 1GB not 1gb on Gamepark Releases the GP2X Wiz · · Score: 1

    If you look at specifications for things like RAM and Flash chips, it's always in bits. I'm talking about manufacturers here, not end-user products.

  25. Re:Looks sketchy on Gamepark Releases the GP2X Wiz · · Score: 1

    Can anyone actually confirm that anything electronic isn't made in China these days?

    To somewhat quote Armageddon: "PSP, iPod touch, Nintendo DSi... all made in China."
