  1. Re:Non-Tech Percent of Web Traffic from Chrome on Google Chrome, Day 2 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I looked at the web logs from a general purpose, non-techy website ... and traffic didn't start until after the release at Noon.

    Brain scratcher! Wonder why?

  2. Re:Linux support will be coming later on Mozilla's Thoughts On Google's Chrome · · Score: 5, Funny

    I read that support for Linux will be coming out later.

    Like most of the other Google toys, the Linux version will come out after Chrome leaves Beta.

  3. Like a fish in the hot sun... on Mozilla's Thoughts On Google's Chrome · · Score: 1, Funny

    Let me be the first to say FIREFOX IS DEAD, BLOATED AND SMELLY LIKE A DEAD FISH, DEAD! Netcraft says so. No, but seriously, how long until Mozilla's Google Dollars dry up?

  4. Crack is hard to kick... on How HP Could Turn a Novelty Into a Revolution · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...If HP were to finally make the move of ditching Windows...

    It's hard enough to kick a nasty crack habit, especially when you have to worry about your dealer coming after you for a beat down.

    HP (or any OEM) may not be able to piss off Microsoft, since a significant number of HP's customers demand MS. MS is known to get threatening with the licensing for companies the stray too far from the Microsoft ideal of exclusivity in the consumer market.

  5. Re:Tablet. on First Prototype of Open Source TechCrunch Tablet · · Score: 1

    This isn't really an innovative, exciting, new product.

    You have seen the picture, right? It's not a product at all. It's a bunch of salvaged parts on some guys very messy kitchen table.

  6. Bullshit on In MN, Massive Police Raids On Suspected Protestors · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. You know very well that many downtown businesses suffered major physical damage. Your cherry-picked YouTube propaganda do not change the reality that was documented by numerous major news organizations.

  7. Re:This is not how you stop riots... on In MN, Massive Police Raids On Suspected Protestors · · Score: 1

    Clearly you need perspective. I suggest you visit any one of the hotspots in the world to see how bad it *can* get when left to fester/suppressed.

    So because they have worse riots other places, it's OK to break windows of innocent local businesses in St. Paul and Seattle? What a load of bullshit.

  8. Re:When was the last time that caused a riot? on In MN, Massive Police Raids On Suspected Protestors · · Score: 1

    Bottles are broken every single day. I see a different broken window at local businesses at least once a month.

    Not quite the same thing as gasoline cocktails and tossing paper boxes through the windows innocent local business. That's what happened in Seattle. I was there.

  9. Re:This is not how you stop riots... on In MN, Massive Police Raids On Suspected Protestors · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, Foo, I was there (I worked in downtown at the time), and it's not quite a you state. But there's really no point in arguing with someone who thinks "anarchists breaking windows and throwing bottles" is a minor issue.

  10. Re:This is not how you stop riots... on In MN, Massive Police Raids On Suspected Protestors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... this is how you START them. This coming from someone from Seattle who lived on Capitol Hill during the WTO riots and had police overreact and create a situation when none existed.

    Yes, indeed. The "anarchist" morons from all over the country came to Seattle looking for a riot , the the equally brain-dead cops gave them a reason.

    "Anarchists" and Repugnitans, a match made in heaven.

  11. You left the important part out.... on Too Easy For Bank Accounts To Spring a Leak · · Score: 0

    Ummm, you do realize that's on the bottom of every check that you write (in MICR). That's how your check gets matched up to your account for processing...

    You left the important part out (the part that should have put most of the responsibility on the bank)...

    ...and once has permission to withdraw funds...

  12. Re:INTRANET only on IE8 Breaking Microsoft's Web Standards Promise? · · Score: 2

    The article only says that INTRANET pages are not shown in standards-compliant mode by default.

    And beyond that this is a BETA release, not the final release. But hey, why let reality get in the way of a good Microsoft trashing.

  13. Re:But... on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 1

    How many of them are just saying that to sound cool?

    But the problem is, it isn't cool. No reputable business would take advantage of that information by hiring such a person, and many would call in the authorities if they became aware of it.

  14. Re:Reputable news sources on Wikileaks To Sell Hugo Chavez' Email · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of disreputable news sources around, but would their readership be interested in Hugo Chavez's email?

    Unless some wheeling and dealing between a hidden buyer and The Sun / The New York Post / Who Ever was going on...

  15. Re:Google is already old news just ask the users. on Has Google Lost Its Mojo? · · Score: 1

    Yes Google is on the way down Just ask several hundred thousand users who google used as gunia pigs for a "new improved" iGoogle home page. Which left users wondering why google did not leave a Opt-out of the experiment for their users who did not wish to participate.

    I'm sorry, do you pay to use the Google Web page? No? Don't like it, use MSN.

  16. Mayb it has an "accedent"... on IE8 Will Contain an Accidental Ad Blocker · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Then again, it might just "accedently" dissapear from the final build...

  17. Re:Vacation... on Has Google Lost Its Mojo? · · Score: 1

    Most places give between 6 and 8 of those days off, unless you work for the government.

    Indeed. As a government employee (and member of AFGE (AFL-CIO)) I get 30 paid days a year, a huge number of sick days, and a great health plan. Shitty pension plan, though.

  18. Re:freedom software removes freedom on FSF-Sponsored gNewSense 2.1 Released · · Score: 1

    It's like saying that vegetarians are an attack on your right to eat meat.

    No, that would be Vegans.

  19. Re:seems to be common on DNA Bar Coding Finds Mislabeled Sushi · · Score: 1

    American Sushi bar are about as Japanese as Pizza is Italian

    I think you're going to the wrong sushi bars, then.

  20. Re:Trademark not patent on Microsoft Applies For Patent On Private Browsing · · Score: 2, Funny

    What? You expect Slashdot "editors" to "edit"? How much dope do you smoke, pal...

  21. Re:Many a foolish man has crossed Houghton Mifflin on Open-Source College Textbooks Gaining Mindshare · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Who is going to write these open source textbooks?

    Already been done! We have Wikipedia...

    Yes, but this guy is a "nerd"! And he built his own Web site! And he has, like, "ideas"! Yupper-doodles!

  23. Re:Maybe now someone can investigate IBM on ISO Rejects OOXML Protest Appeals · · Score: 1

    My hope is that whatever comes out of that lab will be released under the GPL

    Yes, we all want World Peace and and End to Hunger as well.

  25. Why the Philippians? on Microsoft Investing In "Open Source" Lab In Philippines · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wonder what the significance of being in the P.I. is? Cheap labor? Lax IP laws? Got to be something. Or maybe the Philippians is a hot-bed of OSS interest, and I'm out of the loop...
