  1. Re:I can see it now... on Got Game · · Score: 1

    The point was that they couldn't even understand that. Believe me, I know it's a seven.

  2. I can see it now... on Got Game · · Score: 1

    "Now, you, um, [flips pages] 'L-three-three-one' gamers, erm, I mean gamerZ, need to get this assignment done ASAP."

    *shudder*

  3. Re:seriously on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Please don't throw all the terms you may not like together like that. While "synergize" is certainly bull, terms like ROI have a very real and a very important meaning.

  4. Here's the reason on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    If you know multiple languages *well*, that means your mind can shift from one language to another and you can think in either language. That same skill is used when you try to explain something to a non-technical person (read: boss).

  5. NOLF2? on How to Build a Hard Drive Wind Chime For Spring · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why, but wind-chimes and ninja hackers reminds me of No One Lives Forever 2. -"Do you wanna go shopping this weekend?" -"Can't. I have an assassination."

  6. Re:Java != JavaScript on Firefox 1.0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I didn't mean to sound insulting. I just don't like it when people confuse Java with JavaScript because they are completely different. Again, I'm sorry.

  7. Java != JavaScript on Firefox 1.0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    PLEASE get it straight!

  8. Spelling... on Four-Story Pixellated Mario Mural · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh those darned "eningeers"...

  9. Re:Farked on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Although you use the term "farked" incorrectly, your point is nonetheless valid. Either Fark articles are getting a lot more intelligent, or Slashdot articles are losing intelligence. I would rather not try to guess which is happening. Perhaps we should try to predict it with the EGGs.

  10. Re:Here's the fix: on Microsoft's AntiSpyware Disabled by Spyware · · Score: 1

    How many Windows users do you think will actually do that? Realistically. Answer: NOT MANY.

  11. ClamAV on Microsoft to Buy Anti-Virus Software Firm · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's always www.clamav.net

  12. MOD PARENT UP on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 1

    While most people don't like to hear that, it is true.

  13. Parent post's target audience? on Firefox Continues Gains against IE · · Score: 1

    The parent post will be read by Slashdotters. How many of them would do as it said? Next time, post that comment somewhere where it could make a difference. Otherwise, you're just preaching to the choir...

  14. For all of you saying it's a PHP exploit on Net Worm Uses Google to Spread · · Score: 5, Informative
    From ISC:
    Note: we earlier reported that it takes advantage of a php vulnerability. This does not seem to be the case. The worm exploits the 'highlight' bug in phpBB 2.0.10 and earlier. The current version of phpBB (2.0.11, released Nov. 18th) fixes this problem. Nevertheless, its still a good idea to update php.
  15. Re:Tabbrowser Extensions on Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    I said Extensions, not Preferences. They are two completely different things.

  16. Nothing new on FCC to Allow Wireless Access on Planes · · Score: 1
  17. Tabbrowser Extensions on Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    Get Tabbrowser Extensions. Not only does it give you better tab control (and a bug-free single window mode), but it also saves your sessions!

  18. In the Year 2525 on That's Using Your Head · · Score: 1
    Reminds me of Zager and Evans's "In the Year 2525", particularly this part:
    In the year 5555
    Your arms hanging limp at your sides.
    Your legs got nothing to do.
    Some machine doing that for you.
  19. Extremely dangerous on That's Using Your Head · · Score: 1

    One word: viruses.

  20. GITS2 as well on That's Using Your Head · · Score: 1

    The huge mechanical arm thing that Batou ripped off of the Yakuza guy could very easily become a reality with this technology and fuel cells. That is something we may have to worry about. That said, I still think that helping disabled people would still be worth it, no matter what the cons may be.

  21. Re:That reminds me... on Portable Firefox and Thunderbird · · Score: 1

    What the hell would be the point of a "portable IE"? It comes with Windows anyway. The only versions of IE that only required one file were around 2.0 AFAIK.

  22. ODM, not OEM on Shortage of Intel Laptop Chipsets · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's technically Original Design Manufacturer.

  23. Never mind about the chip on HDTV PC Capture Solutions? · · Score: 2

    Never mind about the VIA chip. It's the VT1625 and it's an encoder chip, so that won't help you unless you're connecting your computer to your HDTV.

  24. Chances are... on HDTV PC Capture Solutions? · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... you won't be able to find anything like that anytime soon. Although VIA recently released an HDTV chip, but I'm not sure whether that will help or not.

  25. Duck and Cover on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 2, Informative

    You mean this movie?

    Remember what Bert the Turtle does!
