  1. Re:Must Be True on Does Microsoft Cause Lower Software Prices? · · Score: 1

    Look, we're reading and posting on Slashdot. How much more worthless could our time be? :)

  2. Re:These people are ill! on NYT On The Internet And Child Molestation · · Score: 1

    Fine, but do keep in mind it costs more to kill them than to keep them in jail for life.

  3. Re:What a negative view on No Money For Hubble Service Mission · · Score: 1

    A billion dollars for Hubble is a drop in the bucket compared to Iraq. The new telescope you speak of can't replace Hubble (it only sees infrared whereas Hubble can view much more than the IR spectrum)...and since when was being ready a concern for the Bush administration (you go to war with the army you have...)?

    I thought you all said we were just there to steal the oil. Guess you were full of sh*t then too.

    and I thought Bush said we were there for some WMD...or was it Al Qaeda...or was it because Saddam was a Bad Man(tm)? It goes both ways, pal.

  4. Re:aaaah Political doublespeak... on No Money For Hubble Service Mission · · Score: 1

    Assuming that figure is correct, how exactly does this make what Bush did OK?

  5. Re:Death for Hubble? on No Money For Hubble Service Mission · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Where is this "It's cool to hate Bush" crap coming from? The only people I ever hear it from are his supporters. It's starting to seem like they're getting desperate hunting for reasons why someone might not like him. Stop hunting for conspiracies where there aren't any. Your guy won (not by enough to be a "mandate" however), now quit being such sore winners.

  6. Re:Praise Bob on Michael Powell to Leave FCC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It doesn't matter how "credible" someone is if they won't tell you where they stand.

  7. Re:One reason why I'm still using Window Maker.... on Xfce 4.2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Speaking of MS' VDM. I always had trouble with it and MSN Messenger. When switching desktops it'd draw the chat windows all funny. I can't recall specifics, sadly. //not a troll, honest! :)

  8. Re:Yes, you can remove Internet Explorer on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    If you use Nlite to remove IE and the IE Core from Win 2000/XP/2003 then not even the explorer.exe+address bar trick will work. IE is truly removed in this case. As a side note, IE and the core are listed separately because removing the core (mshtml.dll or whatever it's called) breaks some things like activation, automatic updates, etc.

  9. Re:Heh on Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    Wait, isn't Neoplanet based off IE and thus susceptible to its flaws? I thought it used to be, but maybe that's changed.

  10. Re:One problem with WinXP 32-bit on 64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed · · Score: 1

    every now and then I see something dumb, like an installer that has a 16-bit stub somewhere.

    Let me guess, Installshield, right? :D

  11. Re:Umm.... on Security Issues in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Then the copies of WinXP in the university computer labs are broken, as every user (or at least I :)) can access any other user's data. Perhaps it's a setting somewhere in the registry?

  12. Re:Good thing on Budget Issues Force Spy Satellites Into The Open · · Score: 1

    The only solution is to hide deep underground where the lasers can't reach you.

    So hide in your parents' basement, then? :)

  13. Re:GBA compatibility? on Nintendo to Drop D-pad · · Score: 1

    I went so far as to buy a Hori gamepad from Japan for my GBPlayer needs. It works beautifully. :)

  14. Re:Availability? on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    It really didn't make any sense when I read that as "or a $5.00 fine". :)

  15. Re:America's Army on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the news channels should stop censoring themselves and give us all the gory details. Maybe then people would be less enthusiastic about sending their friends, family, and neighbors to die...

  16. Re:20-30 bugs per 1000 lines??? on Linux Has Fewer Bugs Than Rivals · · Score: 5, Funny

    A rate of 20-30 bugs per 1000 lines would render most programs unusable.

    Sounds like Windows to me! :-)

    It's a joke, laugh. :)

  17. Re:Huh? on China Bans Game Recognizing Taiwan Independence · · Score: 1

    I can't speak for the *board* game, but both PC versions of Risk split the US into Western and Eastern sections. Well, the first version ("Ultimate Risk") includes several game maps in addition to the "classic" map (Europe, North America, and the south-eastern portion of Asia, and a "World" map). In the World Map the US is split into "United States of America," "Louisiana" "Rocky Mountains" and "California".

    You should check out on of the PC games some time. The AI isn't the greatest, but it has the amazing capability to infuriate you so much by foiling your plans with some of the dumbest strategies...

  18. Re:Did they ever fix that bug.... on KDE 3.3.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Some people prefer KDE to the standard "explorer" shell*, but would rather run in Windows to get the increased compatibility with programs (most likely games). Maybe there are only two people that want this, though...(me and the GP).

    *Yes yes, shell != window manager, etc etc. You know what I mean. :)

  19. Re:I have a C&C Collection - what to play? on New Command & Conquer Game In Development · · Score: 1

    Play C&C or C&CRA. TS sucks horribly and RA2 can't really compete with the older two games (but was much better than TS). Just MHO, though..

  20. Re:Downloading Debian right now on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    installing a 5 year old OS which updates moves slower than a snail and is known for it's friendly and helpfull userbase, that is REAL masochism.

    Wait, where you talking about Win2000 or Debian? ;)

  25. Re:All those takes due to unprofesionalism! on Giving Voice to Video Games · · Score: 1

    The entire Legacy of Kain series also has excellent voice talent (and the dialogue itself is among the best I've ever seen in a video game).
