  1. Re:perspective on KDE and KOffice Rebuke OOXML, GNOME Dithers · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with the dual license? You don't use MySQL either?

  2. Could someone explain on Iran Builds Supercomputer From Banned AMD Parts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why Iran is not (apparently) allowed to have nuclear energy, or high powered computers? Have they ever detonated a computer guided nuclear weapon in someone else's country?

  3. Take responsbility on KDE and KOffice Rebuke OOXML, GNOME Dithers · · Score: 1

    I will say yet again: I hope Miguel de Icaza takes responsibility when Microsoft's stranglehold over the open source software I like grows. Because he sure seems to be infatuated with the company and their products.

  4. Re:Has Washington Lost its mind? on How To Beat Congress's Ban Of Humans On Mars · · Score: 0

    Don't worry, America will have its intangile Intellectual Property

  5. Re:It's things like this that bug me about GNOME on Weigh In On the OOXML Issue During Live Debate · · Score: 0, Troll

    No it doesn't

  6. Re:Road Signs? on British Village Requests Removal From GPS Maps · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like a great opportunity for the law enforcement officers of Barrow Gurney to make some money issuing fines. Based on the given information, I actually agree with this. I just hope they don't use that as an excuse to be tasing truckers.
  7. Interesting implication on Family Group Releases Annual Games Report Card · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Based on the summary at least, it seems that approximately 75% of the responding parents t 'worry about the games their children play'. So... that means those parents have no control of what their kids consume. We can safely assume this doesn't refer to the games they the kids play at their friends house and don't know about. Maybe they just shouldn't give these kids allowances, or credit cards... or are they afraid that their kids will give blow jobs for cash to buy games?

  8. Re:Still Obvious on $360M Patent Suit Over iPhone Voicemail · · Score: 1

    No idea. Not that I feel sorry for Apple or anything, I just think that this so called patent is obvious.

  9. Still Obvious on $360M Patent Suit Over iPhone Voicemail · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know. You're going to say "why didn't you do it" or something similar. But considering we already have email, so called "Visual Voicemail" isn't that big a leap.

  10. MS Tools on OOXML's 662 Resolutions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why doesn't Microsoft use their super productive RAD tools to give the comments/resolutions in multiple formats? Why does some (well intentioned) dude have to do all the work himself? I have been led to believe that Microsoft has several hundred employees and billions of dollars, and their marketting people assure me that Visual Studio .NET + ASP.NET + SQL Server are the best things since the invention of the internet. Surely they should be able to slap together a web app with their own tools, _and_ still have a button/link which gives the results as an archive of multiple .doc files.

  11. Opposite Day? on FCC Chairman Tries For More Media Consolidation · · Score: 1

    Is it opposite day already? I thought the FCC was supposed to regulate such things.

  12. Re:who might slip the release date? on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 1

    You pay Microsoft. You don't pay KDE.

  13. What ever they choose on Is It Time for a 'Kinder, Gentler HTML'? · · Score: 1

    Please send the IE devs a picture book with the full specs in very clear English.

  14. Re:uh, dont use it? on Your Ex-CoWorkers Will Kill Facebook · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm sure you're quiet happy and all that. But I find this post extremely depressing - enough so that I'll be closing this tab.

  15. Re:so another year of awesome wii sales then? on Activision CEO Hoping For $200 PS3, 360 By '09 · · Score: 1

    Did you subtract for the loss Sony and Microsoft reportedly take on their hardware?

  16. Re:This is Slashdot. on Quality Open Source Calendaring / Scheduling? · · Score: 1

    I'm the opposite. I don't use Outlook. So i have no opinion of it. This is much different for the Microsoft software I regularly use.

  17. So ... a failure? on States Claim There is No Match for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    So does that mean the fines, etc. brought against Microsoft were a failure? That they should have been much steeper?

  18. Re:Bah, "Hacker" meaning "cracker" on PlayStation 3 'Hacker's Paradise', Sales Up · · Score: 1

    Especially in this case where the idea seems to be to crack the encryption by bruteforce methods.

  19. Re:Summer? on Google Summer of Code Extends to Highschoolers · · Score: 1

    Where did you read that it was summer?

  20. Re:Most Powerful and Open Console yet? on PlayStation 3 'Hacker's Paradise', Sales Up · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sucks for you. I have been logging several hours with mine. Luckily, you not enjoying it has no effect on the rest of us.

  21. Re:Massive increase on PlayStation 3 'Hacker's Paradise', Sales Up · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, why do you wish the best to Sony?

  22. Re:And this is a firefox problem... on Firefox Susceptible To QuickTime Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    Well if you volunteering installed the plugin, I just assumed the browser would trust it. Interesting to find out otherwise. Does that mean the Quicktime plugin could take IE down with it in a crash?

  23. Re:I don't get it on Google Plans Service to Store Users' Data Online · · Score: 1

    Haven't we the public shown that we don't want our data online this way? And they pursue it anyway. You hear all of these reports about Google becoming the next Microsoft. This sounds very Microsoftish.
    Not sure that it sounds Microsoftish. But while Slashdot may have shown that they don't, but the typical internet user seems to love to store every bit of their life online.
  24. Re:Call Me Paranoid on Google Plans Service to Store Users' Data Online · · Score: 1

    From what I hear, encryption may be effective at getting you tortured.

  25. Re:The UN on UN Says Tasers Are a Form of Torture · · Score: 1

    Hmm. Fair enough. Please pass that message onto the government of the United States of America also. Much appreciated.
