  1. great service but what about caps... on Verizon Announces FTTP Prices · · Score: 2, Interesting

    badnwidth limits could change my opinion about the service... i'd love to have the fiber but if you could theoretically drain your dl quota in a few days time the service isn't worth it... still, it's nice to see a company building out new infrastructure...

  2. Consistency over usability. on Software Usability As A Technical Problem · · Score: 1

    I'd have to say that consistency is more important than ease of use... For example if you know clicking on "Tools" will open a context menu that will contain the "Options" dialogue in almost any Windows application that is something you will rarely have to look for. However with open source, software developers sometimes get carried away with their GUIs which results in having to memorize where "that menu" is in every application you use.

  3. my commodore 64... on Computer Gaming PCs Try To Stack Up To Consoles · · Score: 2, Funny

    enough with these new fangled gaming systems my commodore 64 does it all... but i should have got the rust proofing...

  4. The fraud continues... on Pick Up A Piece of Enron · · Score: 1

    Selling old junk for big money is a great idea... Works well when people think they are getting a deal 'cause the co. is bankrupt... I'd like to know what will happen to the cash... Will it be used to pay creditors? It's certainly not going to the shareholders who lost their shirts.

  5. Security through diversification... on Mozilla Foundation Seeking Switch Success Stories · · Score: 1

    This is one of the best things that a fragmented browser market could offer... If no single exploit can bring a gov agency / corp to it's knees because of many different software implementations across depts. it provides an added level of security.

  6. Time should fix it. on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seems the Brazilians have a little racket for the time being but isn't it likely that things should adjust themselves as the Orkut population becomes more diverse?

  7. hurts OSS more than jobs on Malaysian Government Prefers Open Code · · Score: 1

    people will have jobs coding open source software... what will be hurt is its ability to compete with closed source if it becomes big business in asia...

  8. Re:It's all in HD too on NBC Aims For Stability Through Redundancy In Athens · · Score: 1

    cool i wasn't aware they were doing it in hd... i'll definitely have to catch that just for the heck of it...

  9. OLED has some tough competition on No Sony OLED Displays In 2004 · · Score: 1

    with lcds falling 20% by year end it will be hard to compete... linkaroo: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=tech nologyNews&storyID=5675145

  10. slash 'em up on North Korea Opens Official Website · · Score: 0, Troll

    may those damn communists endure the full wrath of the slashdot effect...

  11. Re:Changed the view of the US? on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    "they want to wipe me out because I am useless." I doubt he'll do any time... In retrospect the charges look pretty ridiculous; no matter how serious they were when committed.
