  1. Re:too many name changes on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    How in the world did this get modded insightful? This isn't anywhere near the truth. Google is your friend.

  2. Re:What's wrong with Thunderbird? on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if you did some research before complaining. This is doen by and for those of us who WANT a suite. You remember the whole OSS, do what you want thing? This is not being worked on by people who would want to work on a carlendar app. I am not even sure that it is being worked on my Mozilla people at all.

  3. Re:Already uninstalled it on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    So you uninstalled a themeable application becuase you didn't like the default look?

  4. Re:drag&drop reordering of tabs.... on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I see you've been waiting to drop in your Opera comment. I'm sure Opera is nice browser and all. But this comment is offtopic.

    You know, there was always Nestscape Navigator for any who wanted a standalone browser.

    Because we all have to be PC right?

  7. Re:interesting fact on Remains of First African Slaves Found · · Score: 1

    No the Americans, ie. the native indians had nothing to do with the enslavement of the Africans. It was the white Europeans who settled through out the Americas who did that.

    But what about the willing and informed? You made reference to the unwilling only.

    Hahaha . . . was my sarcasm to real? I got modded flaimbait, cool.

  10. What are all these ethics about? on Thirsty People Feel More Pain · · Score: 1

    Could someone please explain to me why there are always ethical restrictions in potentially important human experimentation if the subjects are well informed and willing? In my psychology course I became aware that there are many psychological experiments done it years past that simply cannot be carried out these days because of such ethical restrictions.

    No, didn't you know? They have a bot which goes onto password protected new sites, bute forces the password, scrapes all the new articles and media, copies it to their Google clusters, reformats the information into pages which decree that the stories have been investigated, reported, and brought to you by Google.

    Yes, true. But unlike in Holywood, this is actualy a good thing.

  13. Re:Flynn (whover he is) is an idiot on Loss of Applied IQ Among UK Youth? · · Score: 1

    Right on. It is somewhat depressing the warning labels that are around. Law suits or no law suits. If as a parent you can't figure out that the plastic bag that your tv/vcr came in shouldn't be left around for your todller's amusement, then something is wrong.

  14. Re:Kids have lost conservation laws on Loss of Applied IQ Among UK Youth? · · Score: 1

    I think is becuase the child-safe environment is causing kids to miss out on some of the simple elements of learning, trial-and-error and experience. Frankly, I learned many things just from doing something and getting beaten as a punishment.

  15. Re:Global capitalisms complex effects on education on Loss of Applied IQ Among UK Youth? · · Score: 1

    This is the most ridiculous arguemtn against outsourcing I have ever heard. Stupid cultures driven by capitalism squeezing every dime from every consumer is the problem. Not outsourcing. If anything outsourcing is a symptom, not the cause.

    It would be nice if you wrote up a short article on this and posted this to see how all the Google bashing Slashdotters would react.

  25. Re:Demand(Lack Of) Is The Problem on Xbox 360 Still in Short Supply · · Score: 1

    I myself do not want anything to do with Xbox 360, however I was curious so I went over to Ebay and did a search for XBox 360, and sure enough, the systems aren't doing that well. Most have few or no bids, although they are about to end. I was expecting more frankly, as much as I myself do not intend to get one.
