  1. Really? on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think it's pretty commonly known that paypal sucks. Not that long ago Paypal locked the account of the indie developer of Minecraft for no good reason, holding over $600k hostage.

  2. Re:Snappiest beast out there on Opera 10.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Wait a second.. so Opera Mini actually routes every website I visit through Opera's servers, which then sends me a filtered/compressed version? Yikes! Why do people use Opera Mini again?

  3. Re:Drivers drivers... on AMD Previews DirectX 11 Gaming Performance · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't consider the X1800 a "great" performing card by any means. Upgrade.

  4. Re:And? on Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results · · Score: 1

    ..this crap? Bing shows plenty of results that match exactly the question, only further down the page does it show the "why are macs expensive" topic-- which by the way also shows in Google, granted on page 2. That doesn't mean MS is doctoring its results.

  5. Re:Does not store any personal details about clien on Pirate Bay's Anonymity Service Enters Beta Testing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yes, Pirate Bay could secretly store that information, but I somehow doubt they would.

    Yeah, because no one would think that the soon to be new CEO, who happens to be good friends with the RIAA, would ever do such a thing as log traffic or identifiable information. Right? ..right?

  6. Re:In my experience, no. on Developer Stigma After a Bad Or Catastrophic Release? · · Score: 1

    Some of that can be attributed to unrealistic deadlines, pushing the programmers to hard and/or not providing a large enough window to properly spec a project. ..grumble..

  7. Re:Competition is good, baby! on Google Announces Chrome OS, For Release Mid-2010 · · Score: 1

    How much of a "win" will it be to have Google searching, indexing, and archiving all of your company's sensitive documentation, all in the name of building better advertisements?

    Ever hear of Google Desktop? I see that on just about every business PC I've come across.

  8. Re:Do it the hard way! on Source Code of Several Atari 7800 Games Released · · Score: 1

    The MsPacMan source is actually pretty well documented, buddy.

  9. Re:RIP on Yahoo Pulls the Plug On GeoCities · · Score: 1

    But, what will happen to the beloved Seizure Robots?!

  10. Touch screen display for $100? Sold! on First Android-Based Netbook, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    I'd pick this up simply because its a decent sized touch screen for a $100 bucks. Hacker and hobbiest paradise!

  11. Re:Great! on Valve Engineers Weed Out 'Lying' TF2 Game Servers · · Score: 1

    It seems as though with every patch they release the servers get screwed. Horrible ping times if, you can connect at all, lobbies break and achievement usually go sour. My friend and I spent about an hour just trying to get a game going on the 11th, and when we finally got it going we had horribly high pings. Valve makes great games but I'm wondering if they do any serious testing before releasing patches out in the wild.

  12. Re:No MMS. LOL. on Why Japan Hates the iPhone · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean you completely ignore a standard way of sending photos mobile-to-mobile. Everyone else does it yet Apple chooses not to. Great, what next.. no copy & paste? Oh wait..

  13. No MMS. LOL. on Why Japan Hates the iPhone · · Score: 3, Informative

    When I found out that the iPhone lacked MMS I couldn't help but laugh. No MMS? Seriously? How can a mobile phone be released and not support that oh so basic functionality. Every single phone released has MMS but not the iPhone. Why exactly?

  14. Re:Beta = Test Environment on Google Blames Gmail Troubles On Maintenance Goof · · Score: 1

    How long should a product remain in beat, exactly? Beta doesn't mean what it use to, Google has redefined it as a "get out of jail free card". That isn't beta, its a scapegoat.

  15. Re:It's about time on VMware Demos Two Operating Systems On Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    Did you watch the video? They ask that question to the presenter and they said you can define which is the "dominate" phone, so I assume you can configure which one gets the call.

  16. Re:84 hours?!?! on Twitter Leads Social Networks In Downtime · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Rails sucks, twitter is proof.

  17. Re:Unfortunately that does not mean quality on Smash Bros. Creators Behind New TMNT Game · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Yeah, famous for being crap.

  18. Re:Red headlines? on Network Solutions Under Large-Scale DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    Um.. never heard of setTimeout()? Fail.

  19. Re:Quake Live is awesome. on Most Popular Free, Arena-Style FPS? · · Score: 1

    Oh pretty please! emillerREMOVETHIS@ccorpsoft.com

  20. Re:True on Bug In Android Passes Keystrokes To Root Shell · · Score: 2, Funny

    NEWS AT 11: Slashdot poster confirms this is a bug!

  21. This is coming from the guy... on The Internet Is 'Built Wrong' · · Score: 4, Funny
    ...who could barely keep Twitter up and running for 24 hours straight without it going down?

  22. Does it work.. on Compromising Wired Keyboards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..when you operate the computer like a normal person? You know, powered on machine, typing at a normal rate..

  23. Sounds a bit intrusive. on Playstation Network Gets Revised, More Restrictive ToS · · Score: 1

    Automatically force an update on me? Sounds a bit intrusive to me. Why should I have to update if the firmware I have now plays my games just fine? Also.. read my messages, and delete any they deem inappropriate? Yeah this sounds like a great plan.

  24. Re:Can the summary be any more unclear? on E17, Slimmed Down For Cell Phones · · Score: 2

    You read /. and you don't know what Enlightenment is?

  25. Re:H1-B fraud? Tell me it ain't do! on Feds Consider H-1B Changes After Uncovering Fraud · · Score: 1

    Holy gee willickers, a whole hyphen misplaced! Lynch him!
