  1. Re:You know what is funny? on Mozilla Contemplating Five Week Release Cycle · · Score: 1

    Since you mention IE, implying Windows, I won't mention Safari. It works great on Mac OS X but it seems a lot of people don't like the Windows version.

    So my only question is: have you ever tried Opera?

  2. What's the point? on Mozilla Contemplating Five Week Release Cycle · · Score: 1

    Browsers versions are not a pissing contest. Is your goal to be at version 9000 before Google?

  3. Re:People who have 8 cores on River Trail — Intel's Parallel JavaScript · · Score: 1

    I think it means people with single-core computer will only get a scrolling banner ad.

    People with a multi-core computer will get a scrolling banner ad with parallax scrolling backgrounds!

  4. Re:Looking good for such early code... on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 1

    From what I've read on that page, only HTML+CSS+Javascript apps will be compatible with both x86 and ARM.

  5. Small question on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 2

    They say we'll be able to make "Metro" applications with HTML, CSS and Javascript. Does that mean we won't even need Windows to make Windows Apps?

  6. Re:Virtual Console on Ask Slashdot: Where Can I Buy Legal Game ROMs? · · Score: 1

    So the guy is supposed to cram four or five consoles in his arcade cabinet to be legit with the ROMs? And swap discs on an old PS1 on top of that?

  7. Digital Book.... renting? on Amazon To Launch Digital Book Rental Service · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's ironic that as a society we were able to completely eliminate scarcity for things like books, music and movies and then we turned around and tacked on an artificial scarcity model on top of it.

  8. Re:Cue more irrational nuclear panic in 3...2... on Explosion At French Nuclear Site Kills One · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's when you drink too much Brawndo.

  9. Re:Out of their minds? on HTC Considering Buying Own OS · · Score: 1

    What if you put it in a PowerPoint slide?

  10. Re:Wow on Gut-Check Time For Windows 8, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I dont know what they checkd but imo thoz studiz r wrong.

  11. Re:Wow on Gut-Check Time For Windows 8, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    The most ironic thing is that SMS/IM did more to damage languages (not just english) than video chatting ever could have done.

  12. Virtual Console on Ask Slashdot: Where Can I Buy Legal Game ROMs? · · Score: 2

    AFAIK the easiest way to be legal about the whole thing would be to get a Nintendo Wii, wire your own arcade controls from a GameCube controller and get games from their Virtual Console service. The selection is extremely small if you compare to just finding ROM files from some place, but at least there's 29 Neo-Geo games and 19 arcade games in the list.

    Oddly enough, there's the SEGA Master System and the Turbografx-16 versions of R-Type, but not the original arcade version.

  13. Re:Okay, bottom-line this for me on Booktrack Adds Music and Sound Effects To Ebooks · · Score: 1

    Wait a few years when we're back in the "hey I have a novelty idea that nobody ever had before me - let's add smells to stuff" period, which cycles every decade or so.

    Then you'll be glad it's only sound effects this time around.

  14. Here's another variant on Booktrack Adds Music and Sound Effects To Ebooks · · Score: 1

    Bookphoto adds images to audiobooks.

  15. Re:Kafka... on Booktrack Adds Music and Sound Effects To Ebooks · · Score: 1

    You're supposed to write it like this:

    ((( In Stereo )))

  16. Re:I'd read Dianetics again... on Booktrack Adds Music and Sound Effects To Ebooks · · Score: 1

    Great, now I'll have that stupid tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

  17. Gamma rays? on See a Supernova From Your Backyard · · Score: 0

    Any danger of gamma rays? Though I suppose if my skin were to turn green, that'd be a sign that something's happening.

  18. Re:Ten Times on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 0

    People already like Bill Gates for the fact that he was essentially responsible for bringing personal computers into homes

    Because, of course, things like the Color Computer, the Commodore 64, the Apple II, the Atari ST and the Amiga never existed.

    Oh wait.

  19. This just in - iCloud has better than streaming on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1
  20. Easy question on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 0

    Which operating system do you use, and why?

  21. Re:Not the government. on IBM Building 120PB Cluster Out of 200,000 Hard Disks · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Astounding! on 'Instant Cosmic Classic' Supernova Discovered · · Score: 1

    When will Then be Now?

  23. Re:computers are now part of modern society on Was This the Phishing E-mail That Took Down RSA? · · Score: 1

    Well, some people need to be burned a few times before learning. And there's new schemes every day. Multiplied by the planet's population.

    A couple centillion times should do it.

  24. Re:Shuttle Bay Doors on Humanoid Robot Wakes In Space, Tweets · · Score: 1

    Replying to yourself. I'm sorry, burgessms. I'm afraid you can't do that.

  25. Re:Double standards and people on Interview With 'Idiot' Behind Key Software Patent · · Score: 4, Funny

    Still using that Pentium CPU?
