  1. Re:IBM jumping on Firefox on Internet Explorer's Share Dips Below 90% · · Score: 1

    yes. they develop software that runs on windows.

  2. Re:Weight Watchers blocks Firefox users on Internet Explorer's Share Dips Below 90% · · Score: 1

    Their javascript is screwy so its no wonder it reports firefox doesnt support it.

    when you get to the error screen, try clicking on the 'contact us' link or the 'help' link.

    Neighter work. They need to get better web developers.

  3. Re:hmmm... on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 1

    could Firefox become (later down the line) the new Internet Explorer?

    With dominant market share? that would be a joyous moment.

  4. awesome on Indian Company Shows Off Sub-$200 Laptop · · Score: 1

    at that price you could ship to where you live and still come out on top after paying for the postage. specs look alright.

  5. yea on Post-It Notes - 25 Years of Hypertext in Paper · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Its amazing what somebody saw in something no one else saw a use for.

    the saying 'someone's junk is another's treasure' comes to mind.

    Much has chaned in those 2 years since you had a md player. All of those restrictions you named are no longer present in the 2nd generation hi-mds.

    I doubt she'd be talking crack if she came here. of that sort anyway.

  8. Re:quality of browser is the measure that matters on Firefox Breaks 50,000,000 Barrier · · Score: 1

    you are correct when the number comes from something included with something else that you purchased.

    When its a concious download then quantity does count. esecially when you likely already have something that can almost do the same job.

  9. Re:Off by $0.08 Billion? on Microsoft Misses Quarterly Revenue Projection · · Score: 1

    You need new cars to make more used cars.

    You don't need ms to make os software. in fact its the other way around ;)

  10. Re:from TFA on Forgent and Microsoft Sue Each Other Over JPEG · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Its the same microsoft that was calling for opening up the im protocol for interoperability but now that msn has dominant/close to market share they've gone all quiet about it.

    They are no crusader, they only care about themselves.

    The problem with these kinds of passwords is its very easily 'stolen' by persons looking over your shoulder.

  12. Re:DUPE!!! on Adobe Releases Acrobat Client for Linux · · Score: 1

    That was mine. Slashdot doesn't allow posting less than 2 minutes apart so I modified what I wrote. :)

  13. Re:DUPE!!! on Adobe Releases Acrobat Client for Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The difference is it is now officially announced while previously someone 'discovered' it on their site. Adobe couldve claimed it was a test, beta product and not given any support for it at all. Now Adobe must stand behind the product it has made, and linux users can now say another big official app has joined their platform of choice.

    Now if only Adobe would bring Photoshop over as well...

  14. Re:No time to evaluate patents on IBM Calls for Patent Reform · · Score: 5, Insightful

    True but if the findings of the community giving overwelming evidence that the patent should not be granted then the Patent Office will have a open and shut case, saving them time.

    The patent office should be doing the searc finding for prior art themselve but since they are inundated with applications they dont have the time to do it thoroughly. Allowing the community to do this job would cut down on the number of silly applications allowing the patent office more time to evaluate the more deserving applications

    He'll make the same amount from merchandise but this way box hitters will go in thinking it is more mature than it the first one. Maybe it is, maybe it's not, remains to be seen.

  20. all right! on Dell Might do AMD · · Score: 0, Troll

    In post 9-11 America, Dell fights monoculture to fight terror.

    Dell using AMD would be a win not only for Dell customers but for all computer buyers at large.

    This will boost AMds image, increase supply

    and most of all,

    make Intel compete better price-wise and by performance.

  25. Re:Universal appeal? Not so much.... on PSP Reception Lukewarm in US? · · Score: 1

    mini Dvd-r would increase the size of the psp substantially. And at the same time it's capacity would be 300megs less. Going with mini Dvds would not have been a good choice for anyone.
