  1. Re:US Only at the moment. on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    Well, if you do not find the right icon to click under nr 1, it follows that you can not proceed with nr 2 and nr 3, doesn't it?
    Try here and see if that helps, then go on with 2 & 3

  2. Re:US Only at the moment. on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    Well, I'll try again:

    1. On the startpage, click on the Globe icon with the text 'Maps' under it. The icon is posisioned in the upper right corner of the UI.
    2. In the next screen there is a section in the left part of the UI titeled "Map an Address". In this section you should find a selection box with the text "country" just above it. Use this box to select the country you want to see a map of.
    3. Click the 'Get map' button below.

  3. Re:They forgot Poland ! on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean you guys belived you would get maps just because you embraced capitalism?

  4. Re:US Only at the moment. on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1, Informative

    It already does. Goto maps and choose a country.

  5. How long? on Monkeys Pay for Monkey Porn · · Score: 1

    If you give a hundred monkeys a hundred laptops, how long will it take before they start posting on /.?

    Or has this already happened? ;-)

  6. Re:DNA off by one? on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 1

    Well, obviously the off by one error was hidden deep down in the program. So?
    Hell, it was a joke anyway

  7. MOD PARENT UP on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I really fear what Hollywood could do to one of the greatest storys ever told. It could easily turn out to be a disgrace.

  8. DNA off by one? on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Slightly offtopic, but considering the topic it seems pretty appropriate:

    Am I the only one who thinks that the answer to life the universe and everything has to be an off-by one error?

    If the answer is 43 this suddenly gives a lot of meaning. 43 represented in hex is 2B. And if the answer is 2B then the question gives it self and it all suddenly makes all the sense in the world.

  9. Re:mother fucking slashdot idiots... on Review of Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1

    In the end, let me tell you that my IQ is above 160! So, it is a scientific fact, that I can NOT be an idiot!

    So how come you're able to write something as stupid as this? Actually IQ tests doesn't measure anything else than how good you are taking IQ tests. And high IQ is not connected to a high social intelligence. A lot of "intelligent" people has done and said stupid things. Do you really think name calling is such a brilliant way to prove your opponents are wrong? And why do you feel the need to brag about your IQ at all?

  10. No problem... on The Forgotten Huygens Experiment · · Score: 5, Funny

    Find the person who was responsible for this, send him or her up there to turn it on, and tell them not to expect any overtime for it. In fact, the costs for sending them up should be taken out of their salary.

    Might sound a bit hard, but it's the only way they'll learn.

  11. Re:Simple lesson from skool daze... on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is the beauty of beeing a moderator. You can mod anything you don't like or understand as offtopic, flamebait or troll.

    Read at -1 to avoid the censorship

  12. Re:Good. on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you steal stuff, or substantially contribute to it, you pay the price.

    Unless you are a government. When I grow up I'm gonna be a government.

  13. Face it, god was made by man on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Well how about a warning sticker on all christian textbooks that explains that the god in the bible was in fact made up by the old hebrews?

    The old hebrews din nothing but take stories from older religions and piecing them together to make a religion of their own.

    For those interested an interesting article can be found here

  14. Re:Terrorist as the lead? Not in Hollywood on V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    When someone is fighting for a just cause we don't refer to them as terrorists, we call them freedom fighers or such. Terrorist is a word we use when they fight for a cause in which we do not agree. We do not refer to the people who placed a bomb in Hitlers meeting room as terrorists, do we?

  15. Re:What is Vendetta? on V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Agh, not another Moore documentary.

    Oh, don't be fooled by that "powerful story about loss of freedom and individuality" bit, it's not another Farenheit 9/11 movie

  16. Re:What is Vendetta? on V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Pretty gay, I agree. It's time for Taco et al to fucking grow up and realize that Sailor Moon and X-Men are not literature.

    Yeah, we know. If you didn't like it, it just can't be art. Well, better start clean my bookshelf for all those non-worthy pieces of non-literature ;)

  17. Re:What about the studly men!? on Getting the Girl · · Score: 1

    You do, of course, have a point. The he-man dudes are probably one of the main reasons why the use of steroids have increased so much the last 10-15 years, just as the barbie look probably has caused an increase in eating disorders etc for girls and women.
    Of course, sexism might be part of the problem, but not the whole problem.

  18. How about.. on A Pizza Box for Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    a really, really hungry thief?
    "Laptop in geeky box stolen by foodcrazed mugger on marihuana"

  19. Re:for the new generation on Learning a Foreign Language with The Sims · · Score: 1

    Well, whoever modded parent as flaimbait could probably use some language training...

  20. Meanwhile... on Final Fantasy Concert Series Coming to the States · · Score: 1

    In other news Metallica is about to do a world tour playing music from PacMan

  21. Re:Older evidence exists on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 1

    This would mean that humans likely lived on the earth at the same time as the dinosaur epochs.

    Of course it wouldn't. Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, so a human born two or three million years ago would still be a few million decades to late to get bothered by them.

    Wouldn't this shoot holes all through the "man evolved from apes" argument?

    You obviously mean the "man and apes evolved from a common ancestor" argument, but to answer your question; no, it wouldn't

  22. Re:Various OS my fingkey!! on Hardware That Recognizes You · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm happy as long as my M$ OS recognize my hardware....

  23. Re:Sure, but on Programmers Hold Funerals for Old Code · · Score: 1

    but code is still manually assembled

    Well, according to Genesis 2:7, man was manually assembled from dust by this God person. I fail to see how beeing assembled from dust gives you any greater chance to get a soul. ;)

  24. Re:Ahairb neapr enaglene? on Deaf Children Invent Language · · Score: 1

    Actually, since GP was written in a language the poster has obviously developed on his/her own, we cannot know for certain that it is either offtopic or funny. For all we know it could be informative or just flaimbait

  25. Re:Mostly Harmless on New Trailer For Upcoming Hitchhiker's Episodes · · Score: 1

    will they play any vogon poetry ?

    Not on the radio show, no. But when it is released on cd, it will come with a bonus cd with almost 59 full minutes of vogon poetry. To be played loud. :-D
