  1. Re:Somewhere Yngwie Malmsteen laments... on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    He wouldn't lament, he'd unleash the fury.

    Actually, he'd threaten to unleash the focking fury, and then he'd threaten to kill Mr. Fripp.

  2. What's the deal with NTLM support? on Ask Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is NTLM not supported in Opera, even though IE and Firefox support it out of the box? It's a feature many Opera users have requested for several versions now, especially in corporate environments. I know about the NTLM Authorization Proxy Server, but that's an inconvenient workaround. Is NTLM support something we can look forward to in the future?

  3. FIREWALL on How Long is Too Long to Update? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Use a hardware firewall when reconnecting, if at all possible - like the ones in most routers.

    Ah but I don't believe most slashdotters have that required prerequisite...

  5. Re:Windows without a compiler?! on .Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available · · Score: 1

    Since when has Windows come bundled with a compiler? And given Microsoft's 90-something percent of the PC market, wouldn't an OS coming with a compiler be the exception to the rule anyway?

    Why don't you just make ten longer and make ten be the top number and make that a little longer?

  7. Reptile?? on Dinosaur Forces Rethink Of Flight's Evolution · · Score: 1

    "The 90 million-year-old reptile, called Buitreraptor gonzalezorum, belongs to the same sickle-clawed group of dinosaurs..."

    Whether or not you subscribe to the whole "dinosaurs became birds" theory, there is no question that dinosaurs != reptiles!
  8. Re:I doubt it on Sun Eyes PostgreSQL · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's 3 in America, actually. Two in NY, one in California.

  9. Re:Can someone please explain to me... on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    Crashes are rare and nearly always attributable to poorly-coded pages.

    I've NEVER seen graphics rendered improperly on Opera.

    Run along now, little troll....

    This Chineeman is not the issue! I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line you do not, uh--and also, Dude, Chineeman is not the preferred, uh... Asian-American. Please.

    Hey the French Kicks are pretty sweet. You found them on Sirius? I saw them a few years ago in Pittsburgh, opening up for The Dismemberment Plan. It was a great show.

  15. Intel chips cheaper? on New Pentium Chipsets Launched · · Score: 1

    Despite all the Intel-trashing above, the really interesting part of the Pentium D (dual cores) is the price:

    Now that I think of it, can anyone name a few games off the top of their head that utilize true 5.1?

    Doom 3 for one, baby!

  24. Don't uninstall it... on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 2, Informative

    First off, you shouldn't totally uninstall it, else you lose access to Windows Update. Sure you can use the auto-update, but you lose a lot of control that way, and you won't get access to the non-critical patches that way.

    On top of that, the benefit of freeing up the drive space IE requires is not worth the headahce of trying to remove the damn thing, especially since part of it is built into the OS. Instead, if you have the Service Patch installed, you can use the Control Panel uninstall, which simply removes access to IE. At least it'll keep IE "out of sight, out of mind..."
