  1. Re:Redundant advice on Microsoft Says, Don't Press the F1 Key In XP · · Score: 1

    The person who modded this as Funny apparently never tried this.

    Nothing even remotely related to the problem you experienced just before pressing F1 is displayed. This always surprised me.
    It should open the helppages for the recent errors the OS experienced by default. IMHO

  2. Re:Only MSIE users on Microsoft Says, Don't Press the F1 Key In XP · · Score: 1

    Over here - some menusystem in Sharepoint 2007 won't work to their fullest when using anything other than IE6.
    I figure its some deprecated implementation that survived Sharepoint upgrades.

  3. Re:Why this beats Microsoft on Google Enhances Street View With User Photos · · Score: 1

    I once made a iPeanut, it doesn't run Windows. Therefore windows sucks.

  4. Re:Or even bigger on Spray-On Liquid Glass · · Score: 1

    But parent had a point on lowered fuel costs, as i could imagine it would help on aerodynamics. A dirty surface equals resistance. The Borg know that. (a forcefield / energy-type hull is very smooth)

  5. Goodbye condoms!Goodbye condoms! on Spray-On Liquid Glass · · Score: 1

    Goodbye condoms!

  6. Is this news? on Why Time Flies By As You Get Older · · Score: 1

    Great article and all, but isn't this somewhat "light" for slashdot news? I mean, every self diagnosed nerd admitting to visiting this site (should) already learned this.
    I do respect the simple presentation for the uninformed a lot though, it communicates the whole idea a lot better than i ever would (to big audiences).

    I miss the in depth technical subjects. This article is what digg.com should present me.

  7. Futurama on Why Time Flies By As You Get Older · · Score: 1

    Anyone else notice the leadvoice suits Futurama?

  8. Re:Somebody call the Hoff on Wikileaks Targets the Local News Frontier · · Score: 1

    Strange how so few pointed this out. I blame xmas.

  9. Re:I can't work with music, but I can work with no on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    Try classic balads and instrumental music and keep away from pop culture songs.

  10. I get work done faster and better with music. on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    Your boss obviously doesn't know what your job entails.

    Depending on the nature of the office babble, it easily distracts or annoys. There's no need for that. I for example get work done faster and better if i have the correct music at hand. Its my `fallback attention to keep me in the pace and not get slowed down or distracted. Only about 1 out of 5 days i prefer silence.

    And then there's times that i just put on music simply to act as static noise to help me concentrate. Often only after half an hour i notice that im listening to the same 13 second jazz loop.

    Dwell trough some of my habbits at http://last.fm/user/Barryke2
    When crafting code i listen to everything from Tchaikovsky to Rammstein to St. Germain, and try to avoid most popular music.

  11. I smell DRM on Microsoft Expands exFAT Multimedia Licensing · · Score: 1

    I smell DRM.

  12. Re:I've tried this out a couple of times today... on Google Visual Search Coming Soon to Android · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Seems to work excellent for recognizing global brands (mostly useless), and just about any (physical) media container, barcodes or information. (very usefull)

    Downside: it eats lots 'o battery!

  13. Re:That was pretty fast... on DARPA Network Challenge Lasts All of 9 Hours · · Score: 1

    You skilled formulated it as "one of the entities".

    An other one from europe:

    Most American residents will know CERN. They payed 500 million of the 10miljard (ten billion in US english) costs.

  14. Try Compiz on Multiple-Display Power Tools For Linux? · · Score: 1

    Cardinal solution:
    1) Use nvidia.
    2) Install Ubuntu.
    3) Try Compiz.

    I use 4 virtual dualmonitor desktops this way. The whole user experience will blow you away.
    PS: disable the wobbly effect, its useless and makes throwing windows difficult.

  16. Birdy bread-bomber from the future on LHC Knocked Out By Another Power Failure · · Score: 0, Redundant
    FTA

    "Maybe it was a birdy bread-bomber from the future," jokes Chris Stephens of the LHC Portal - referring to the well-known wingnut theory that that the mere possibility of the LHC unmasking certain phenomena engenders forces which act backwards through time to sabotage it before this can happen.

  17. Re:Easy to verify on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    I always wanted glow in the dark poo.

  18. Re:RTFA on What Google's Chromium OS Is Reaching For · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't get it. Thats exactly what i posted on the same parent, 5 minutes before you. I see my post as modded 1, while yours is at 4. I can't imagine how this could be..

  19. Re:RTFA on What Google's Chromium OS Is Reaching For · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, it didnt work in Chrome. The irony? My cursor doesnt change to a hand.

  21. Re:My first hand experience on Modern Warfare 2 on Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic · · Score: 1

    This comment just made me have to watch New Moon to see what all the fuss is about. Darn you!

  22. Re:Just sit right back on Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic · · Score: 1

    I know its hard to stay offtopic, but you just made a subtle Monty Python reference.

  23. Praise of fishfood on Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic · · Score: 1

    There was this one fish i saw today on the internet somewhere, it looks like a robotfish, swims like a robotfish, and gulps like a dead fish. A fish that has been dead for a week, not a fresly cought spasm one. Anyway the fish was ugly. I don't like robotfish. Whats up with the palmtrees in concrete bins anyways? They're like everywhere where they once decided to pave the beach.

  24. Re:Problem Solved! on Microsoft Investigates Windows 7 "Black Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    Turns out it was just affecting a bunch of old people who kept forgetting to turn their monitors on.

    Seems like it, i hit my quota early today.

  25. Re:Wow. on NASA Attempts To Assuage 2012 Fears · · Score: 1

    FTA "I'm so scared, my only friend is my little dog. When should I put it to sleep so it won't suffer?"

    This IS funny! Seriously though just let Darwin do his job and dont let humanity degrade even more.
