  1. Re:Microsoft Bribe? on Linux PCs Discontinued at Wal-Mart Stores · · Score: 1

    Wait, wut? Apache on Windows was actually easier than IIS4 by a long shot.

  2. Re:Would anyone mind if.... on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't mind it because you're not the one doing it.

  3. Re:Decoupling IE and Windows... on Opera Tells EU That Microsoft's IE Hurts the Web · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you run WoW, you've run IE. If you've ever installed any third party programs, you've likely run IE.

  4. Re:Either way... on MS, Mozilla Clashing Over JavaScript Update · · Score: 1

    Really? Can I get a link? That would have been godsend last summer.

  5. Re:Either way... on MS, Mozilla Clashing Over JavaScript Update · · Score: 1

    Even if they did, the rules are far more complicated than ;?\n Read the ECMA script spec sometime. The portion on this issue is horrible.

  6. Re:Either way... on MS, Mozilla Clashing Over JavaScript Update · · Score: 1

    Okay, whitespace can be significant in JavaScript. Look at automatic semicolon insertion.

  7. Re:Either way... on MS, Mozilla Clashing Over JavaScript Update · · Score: 1

    Whitespace is significant in Javascript too. It just has less uniform rules than Python does.

  8. That's impossible! on Material Tougher Than Diamond Developed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Diamond is the hardest metal known the man!

  9. Ascii illustration on Weird Al Says 'Don't Download This Song' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Joke:   ->

  10. Wow! on When Data Goes Missing Will You Even Know? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To think that malicious employees waited until flash drives to steal data! Dear god, what about paper printouts, hard drives, e-mail, and (dare I say it?) floppy disks?!?

  11. Re:Real World may hold surprises on Smart Elevators Coming to Seattle · · Score: 1

    This may seem like an odd comment on /., but I usually advise people to take the stairs.

    And yes, I do practice what I preach. :)

  12. Forget that! on OpenBSD 3.7 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just download the new openBSD song. It's guaranteed to be 5 times more fun than the software!

  13. Re:bait on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Defiantly not. Whenever Freenet's point releases have been advertised on /., Freenet slows to a crawl simply because its not designed to handle a ton of people turning it on for five minutes, saying "this sucks" and pulling the plug. It takes time for Freenet to acclimate itself to new nodes, and that amount of time is far greater than most Slashdoter's attention span.

  14. Re:How many revamps on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    Freenet can run just fine behind your basic NAT device, just like Kazaa, DC++, and all those other peer to peer softwares.

  15. Re:Let's Celebrate! on World Intellectual Property Day · · Score: 1
    I, for one, will celebrate by installing a mod chip in my Saturn.

    Thanks a lot Sega for the worst copy-protection ever!

  16. Re:M$ cares ... on CSS Support IE 7.0's Weakest Link · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Think again! Most people at MS are paid a given salary, and as such, are not able to claim overtime.

  17. Re:Now... on Got Game · · Score: 1

    Try jumping over the candy machine.

  18. You've never been to MS, have you? on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 2, Interesting
    There are people other than programmers and testers out there. Some managers have to cross campus repeatedly to get to their meetings.



    And this may come as a surprise to you, but some people there even like to play sports and stay in shape! Not everyone there is a stereotypical /.er. ;)

  19. Re:But I'm evil, or so I thought... on This Just In - Gamers Are Human · · Score: 1

    The same type of peope who buy Super 3D Noah's Ark and other games like that from companies like Wisdom Tree.

  20. Re:Most impressive on Homemade Hypercube Case · · Score: 2, Funny
    You see, you're going about it all wrong:
    Everytime I try something like that, it is eligible to be a trash bin.
  21. Re:Strained silicone? on Strained Silicon to Perpetuate Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    The problem with this is that it's rarely the silicone that's straining.

  22. Is it really social software... on Tracing the Evolution of Social Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...if it won't bake cookies, make some lemonade and chat on the front porch?

  23. Re:Methane source? on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 1
    Didn't you see Mad Max: Beyond the Thunderdome? They're going to have a guy called Master Blaster harvest it from pigs which they keep underground.

    Duh!

  24. Out of context: on Happy 50th Cern! · · Score: 1, Funny
    "the universe has turned fifty today!"

    Happy Birthday?

  25. Re:Here's an idea on Securing Pricelessness · · Score: 2, Funny
    hide the real one somewhere else.

    I know where! Put it in a safe behind the fake. They'll never find it there!
