  1. Re:Worst idea ever on The Beginnings of a TLD Free-For-All? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm just waiting for the scammers to register .corn which, in the usual compact, sans-serif font of most web browsers, looks a lot like .com

  2. Re:Operation and Cost? on Acer Bets Big On Linux · · Score: 1

    If you're more interested in drawing shapes and the like, try Inkscape.

  3. Re:I'm here too soon on CNet Compares Eee PC Against the Competition · · Score: 1

    There's always Portable Firefox as well.

  4. Re:Two words on NASA Running Out of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    What about Mr. Fusion?

  5. Re:People don't like change on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    I've always used this guide to enable the buttons on my MX1000 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse Unfortunately, even Ubuntu hasn't gotten to the point where mouse configuration doesn't require diving into the CLI.

  6. Re:Computers should last for more than a year. on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, how do you keep such a long uptime with Win2003 while maintaining current patches. It seems every other set of patches requires a reboot.

  7. Re:Evil Empire + Evil empire = Super Ultra Evil Li on Microsoft Sells Linux To Wal-Mart · · Score: 3, Funny

    So what would that make Super Ultra Super Evil Linux?

  8. Re:Yeah, right, because mice never eat eggs on New Zealand's First Land Mammal Discovered · · Score: 1

    There's an "I for one..." joke in there somewhere.

  9. Re:Wrong implication on Apple Unveils 24" iMac · · Score: 1

    I guess no more ATI cards in Macs now that Apple uses Intel and ATI is now a part of AMD.

  10. Re:Great so everything can be unreliable on The Doom of Wired Peripherals · · Score: 1

    As one of the Flickr comments said though, it seems to be a demo model. There is a display sign behind the macbook in one of the pictures. Who knows what kind of abuse it had?

  11. Re:so... on Google Video Runs Ads & Shares the Profits · · Score: 1

    You can already watch LOST for free on abc.com with advertisements. The picture quality is pretty good too. This has been going on since about 2/3 through this past season.

  12. Re:Right now? on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    Just reminded me of Towelie from South Park. "Don't forget to bring a towel!" Towelie cracks me up.

  13. Re:Yeah on Korea Unveils World's Second Android · · Score: 1

    IIRC the Abraham Lincoln android was from Disneyland.

  14. Re:Pimp my Resume on Google Pages Launches · · Score: 1

    So have you gotten any responses regarding your Resume? The reason I'm asking is that seems like a really good idea. I was just wondering how it's worked out for you.

  15. Re:What a shame on Sony Already Lost Media War to Apple? · · Score: 1

    I think a lot of Slashdotters still have a bad taste in their mouths from the whole Rootkit thing. I know whenever I am at Fry's or Best Buy, I avoid giving even a little thought to buying most Sony products. I really don't want much to do with them anymore. I was looking for a compact laptop lately. And the VAIO seemed nice, but I decided to go with a similarly spec'd Toshiba instead, if only for the fact that it was "not Sony".

  16. Re:It's a shame on Senate Bill To Prohibit Extra Charges For Internet · · Score: 1

    I remember my 10th grade Histroy teacher would always tell us that communism doesnt work because people are greedy. And that leads to some gaining power over others, and thus true communism can never exist. People get screwed over. I find it ironic that Capitalism also suffers many problems because of greed being its driving force. People also get screwed over in a Capitalist system. So boys and girls, we all get screwed over some how.

  17. Re:Screenshots on Fedora's OpenGL Composite Desktop · · Score: 0

    Even with the fancy effects, the Linux desktop experience is still ugly. Window managers need to get some real graphic designers for their interface.

  18. Re:How about letting my PC be a server ? on NSF Ponders New And Improved Internet · · Score: 1

    I have Verizon's DSL service and they don't block port 80. I can run a small little web server through it.

  19. Re:Do clones have a soul? on South Korean Scientists Clone Dog · · Score: 1

    I don't know, but these Korean dog clones definately have a Seoul.

  20. Re:I predict that data thieves will love this! on Cell Phones Predict the Future · · Score: 1

    "Minority Report" anyone?

  21. Re:Hubris... Yes... on Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero · · Score: 2, Funny
    And I for one welcome our new feline masters...

    You also misspelled 'overlords'

  22. Re:Only free to Skype users on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    And what about getting incoming calls. Those would still use your cell minutes, right?

  23. Re:Nice read and all, but... on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that it's a lot easier to get carpal tunnel on a keyboard vs a mouse. And as the parent post brings out, what if I'm a graphic designer you insensitive clod!

  24. Re:Win2k vs WinXP on Final Windows 2000 Update · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why Remote Desktop is so significant. VNC does the same thing, and is supported by every mainstream computing platform.

  25. Re:is there a centralized list of these hacks? on Unlocking the GeForce 6800 · · Score: 5, Informative
