  1. Um... on Symantec Anti-Virus Supresses Privacy Tool · · Score: 1

    All non-free virus scanners nowdays require subscriptions.

  2. This is fixed in the gecko trunk plus a workaround on Batch-o-Moz: Firefox, Thunderbird, Suite Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hey, it's fixed in the trunk. I believe the fix will be in 1.0 final.

    Until then, just resize the font on the page when it renders badly... and boom! fixed!

  3. 0 comments and already slashdotted... on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 0

    Someone got a mirror?

  4. IN SOVIET RUSSIA... on Linux Clustering · · Score: -1, Troll

    Beowolf isn't a cluster, he's a mythological hero, you clod. So I guess... Beowolf would CLUSTER YOU!

  5. History on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    Given your history of radical practices (i.e. not paying your taxes), what would you say to a conservative republican, like me, who's a little nervous about voting for you?

  6. Says who? on Republican Senators May 'Go Nuclear' · · Score: 1

    Really, please supply links or the such that show that a significant majority of hispanics were against the nomination of this judge.

  7. Hispanic community on Republican Senators May 'Go Nuclear' · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'm suprised the Hispanic community hasn't been outraged by some of this. One of the judges that have been unconsitutionally denied their chance would have been the highest hispanic judge in the land.

    So much for Democrats being for minorities (which is an untruth anyway).

  8. Someone mod this good man up! :) on Caller ID Spoofing Firm Gets Death Threats · · Score: 1

    Funny... the IRS reports that the average American wage _DECREASED_ 10% from '00-'02. That's making it pretty darn difficult to pay back those debts. Corporate bastards... (This is the most insightful thing I've ever read on /.)

  9. Spoken like a truely employed person... on Caller ID Spoofing Firm Gets Death Threats · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has it ever occured to you that there may be valid reasons to have collection agencies coming after you?

    I'm 20 years old and over $3000 in debt because of schooling expenses and a couple of periods of unemployment. Do you think I DON'T WANT TO PAY THEM? No, I'd love to pay them, I even moved back in with my parents to enable myself to have more money to pay back my debt. But that does NOT give them the right to call me everyday, refuse to say who they are until I give my name, and make me dread answering my phone. In NC, if you tell a collection agency to stop calling you, they're supposed to -- well guess what, law != practice in a lot of cases. Do NOT defend these bastards, unless you're willing to give me and all of the other people in my situation money to pay back bills.

    Now, I will give it to you, there are people who go nuts and buy TVs, cars, other crazy things which they have no way to afford, but that's not the case quite a bit of the time. Perhaps you need to get your nose outta your checkbook and pay attention to the less fortunate of the world.

    (Aside: No offense to any people who are homeless/destitute by the less fortunate remark -- I'm quite thankful to have a roof over my head and food in my belly on a regular basis).

    Anyone wanna help me get outta debt? Paypal jasonlf@gmail.com :) /cheapplug.

  10. Re:Heh.. reminds me of a spaceballs quote on "Scotty" Gets Walk of Fame Star · · Score: 1

    I edited the quote so those unfamiliar with spaceballs wouldn't think I was calling Scotty, snotty :)

  11. Heh.. reminds me of a spaceballs quote on "Scotty" Gets Walk of Fame Star · · Score: 1

    "Scotty beamed me three times last night... it was WONDERFUL" :-P

  12. MOD PARENT DOWN! on XM Radio Pulls PC Hardware · · Score: 0

    Several posts have already shown that one did sell on Buy it now for $399

  13. Re:Good God... on Caller ID Falsification Service · · Score: 1

    fraud happens... billing errors happen Unemployment happens...

  14. Decorate! on Making Stuff Out Of Broken Computer Equipment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I keep old, broken processors/motherboards on my wall for decoration. I know, I'm a freak.

  15. Dear Google: on How Google Could Overthrow AIM · · Score: 2, Informative

    Please do this!

    Thanks, Geeks everywhere

  16. How is this redundant if this was FIFTH POST!!! on Gosling: If I Designed a Window System Today... · · Score: 1

    Dumbass mods, read the fucking timestamp.

    Nice to have karma to burn.

  17. Re:Can we get a non-pdf'd link please? (no text) on Gosling: If I Designed a Window System Today... · · Score: 1

    No, I just find it bothersome to load up a large, clunky program to load an article that half of the damn people on slashdot don't even read anyway.

  18. Can we get a non-pdf'd link please? (no text) on Gosling: If I Designed a Window System Today... · · Score: 0, Redundant

    blah, there's nothing written here.

  19. ESPN 2k5 Madden * on Microsoft To Close Xbox Sports Game Studio · · Score: 1

    Madden is just annoying to me. ESPN has some cool features, such as Sportcenter in franchise mode and the halftime shows with Berman. The crib is an interesting idea as well. I'm begging SEGA not to murder ESPN 2k* football games... for $20, I'd buy a new one every year.

  20. My subscription is cancelled... on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I love transgaming, and was encouraging everyone I heard was using CVS to buy a subscription... but not anymore. I won't buy stuff from a company that would do something like this... well, the fact they did it isn't so bad, the fact they hid it is.

  21. Then use GRP! on Debian Installer RC1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    I'm tired of all the "I don't want to compile everything" gentoo trolls. Gentoo now has binary packages for quick installs. I personally love the customization, but there are other options.

  22. Ahh... competition on Telstra Used Linux To Get Microsoft Discounts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sounds like capitalism at work :)

    I love linux, but, go Telstra :) Way to use the free market to your advantage.

  23. Re:Web designers are in a lose/lose on Dial-Up Friendly Websites? · · Score: 1

    If you look, you'll realize my site is about Old Comptuers, so I avoid things that will make the site not work/be completely ugly in older browsers. Last time I checked, my site works perfect in 3.x and above browsers, with the exception of a couple of jscript errors caused by the google ad.

  24. Great, put us all out of business. on Dial-Up Friendly Websites? · · Score: 1

    It's people who think like you who are causing the whole internet to slowly become subscription based.

  25. Web designers are in a lose/lose on Dial-Up Friendly Websites? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hear all these posts saying "why do you not care about 56k users, webmasters, boo hoo"... well, the bottom line is, it's a lose/lose situation.

    I run the site www.oldos.org, and I moved to a layout which loads probably about 4 times faster than the old layout, just to get fussed by a ton of people saying they hate it.

    Make up your mind! Do you want fast or dancing babies?
