  1. Re:Nice but where?` on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    Is it me, or did it just get more pedantic in here?

  2. Re:Independent of retailer & mfg. date? on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    25 millisecond monitor for $449? Ick!

  3. The question is on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    will Samsung employees make it difficult to claim this policy, as in having to contact the guy's manager's manager's manager just to get started? I've heard similar stories such as Apple's customer service refusing to return Cinema Displays initially.

    Damn you, MicronPC! Micronta? Michelob? Michelin? MicroProse?

  5. Re:Why aren't UXGA flat panel more popular? on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    Because the target market (the ones who make the most money) are at an age where they can't see too well and usually only use 800x600 or 1024x768 anyway.

    Me, I just find contrast and response much more important. I still have yet to actually see a < 16 ms monitor, so I don't even know if I still don't want an LCD monitor or not.

  6. Re:Watch out for the loophole! on California Sets Fines for Spyware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    However, and this is a big however, they grant a blanket exception to your ISP or network admins.

    Well, it looks like AOL is out of the red then. They can keep covertly installing WeatherBug and Viewpoint Media Player and adding bookmarks everywhere without users' consent.

  7. 134 pages? on Grokking Knoppix · · Score: 1

    Must be a quick start guide.

  8. Re:I don't on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 1

    You forgot Pola- oh, wait, I mean Singapore, Zimbabwe, India (somewhat), and South Africa!

  11. Pedantic nitpicking... on Microsoft Loses Passport · · Score: 1

    Homer:(to Gates) I reluctantly accept your proposal!
    Gates: Well everyone always does. Buy 'em out, boys!

    Bill Gates companions begin to trash the "office".

    Homer: Hey, what the hell's going on!
    Gates:Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks!

    Bill Gates lets out a maniacal laugh. Homer and Marge cower in the corner as the room continues to be trashed.

  12. Tired of hearing articles like this on Internet Use Cuts Socializing Time · · Score: 1

    Newsflash! Someone hates something and comes up with a study to prove how bad it is.

    Rock music, TV, video games, and now internet. Surprise!

  13. Re:Number of vulnerablities aside... on New Trojan Threatens Windows XP SP 2 · · Score: 1

    Almost 100 trillion explots for Firefox? Holy crap, I better switch to IE as soon as possible!

  15. SNL on $1.5 Million Bar-code Scheme Bilks Wal-Mart Stores · · Score: 1

    I think these guys were watching too many Saturday Night Live faux commercials.

    Oh, well. At least they weren't selling Bass-O-Matic '76s on the internet.

  16. Re:Ah Greensburg on GTA Blamed for Graffiti · · Score: 1

    Haha, looked like the British Isles.

    How about: hitting a volleyball with a toilet plunger while swimming in a pool, underestimating its effectiveness and watching the ball go two yards over?

    Never did get into 6502 assembly. It could have been very useful, since I was pretty much banging my head into the limits of Apple BASIC.

    I need to buy a toilet plunger and a volleyball now.

  17. Re:All of this is unnecessary…. on Stopping Adware and Spyware on Windows w/ Citrix? · · Score: 1

    I'm in the Air Force as well, and only limiting a few people to having admin rights seems to cause only those admins to install spyware and prevent me from removing it. At least at the last base I worked, I could easily fix any problems where may have been, but here, I have to put up with unremovable desktop icons, startup items, being unable to defrag (wtf?), being unable to get better system drivers installed, etc.

  18. Re:NTSC on Revolution In The Valley · · Score: 1

    I always thought the philosophy was the other way around: produce a machine that is easy to design even if it makes producing software more difficult. I know graphics would have been easier to produce if any color could be placed in a same given pixel location. Plus, games would be much easier to produce with some hardware assistance like scrolling. Oh well, there were still some pretty good games for the Apple //, although many were slow (Reminded of The Bilestoad and F-15 Strike Eagle)

    Well, that would explain the reasons why people keep claiming BSD is dying.

  22. Re:Six times the DVD capacity on Nintendo Running Itself into the Ground? · · Score: 1

    Strange. I always thought the GiB was just what non-Americans called it. I guess it is nice to be specific abount the base 8 GB being used.

  23. Re:Awesome on Japan Pins Tourism Hopes on PDA · · Score: 1

    I actually did check out if Slashdot could display Japanese characters (of course, it couldn't), but only to see if hiding trollish messages in Katakana-English or Kanji crapflooding was possible.

    So much fun preempted...
