  1. Not a Podcast! on Fly To Mars In A Plastic Ship · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's not a podcast, it's an MP3 file. It's only a Podcast if it has an RSS feed for the audio files. Quit using words if you don't know the correct context in which to use them!

  2. Moving too fast on Strong Emotions May Cause Temporary Blindness · · Score: 2

    It's not that it causes slight blindness, but the images in the flash demo move too damn fast. It doesn't matter if it contains blood/gore, etc... because you can't see it anyway, it's too fast.

  3. Re:novell.com already slashdotted?? on An Early Taste of OpenSUSE · · Score: 1

    First off, Novell.com isn't a link in the summary. Second, Novell.com works.

  4. Re:not a web search engine on Could IBM Shake up the Search Engine World? · · Score: 0

    Both Microsoft and Google have both online search engines, and local computer search tools.

  5. I can't wait on Shuttle Delayed Due to Cloudy Skies · · Score: -1, Troll

    I can't wait for the shuttle to return, because I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about it.

  6. Contaminate? on Reducing Plant Stress Leads to Martian Farms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wouldn't this contaminate the soil of mars, by introducing lifeforms from another planet? I mean, we still have a lot of research left to do on mars, and I don't think putting plants to grow on mars is going to help at all.

  7. Ban Networking? on EU Proposing to Make P2P Piracy A Criminal Offense · · Score: 1

    "If the directive is adopted, developers who create software for file sharing that is then used for illegal ends could potentially be criminally liable in EU member countries."

    I guess they should ban the internet, and all software with networking protocols, such as Windows, Linux, OS X, and any other OS or application that has the ability to share information over a network. Hell, they might as well get rid of e-mail, too.

    Nothing will EVER stop file sharing, short of getting rid of the internet, and you know that's never going to happen.

  8. What? Say it isn't so! on Windows Vista Tool Targeted By Virus Writers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Microsoft Windows is insecure! More details later, movie at 10.

  9. What's the new name? on FCC Approves Sprint-Nextel Merger · · Score: 3, Funny

    Spritel? Nexint? Vista?

  10. Why so many? on Another New Serenity Trailer · · Score: -1, Troll

    What is with posting the trailer every week on Slashdot? This makes like the third time a Serenity trailer has been posted. Enough already!

  11. Maybe China... on China Releases 2nd generation MIPS Chip · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...will just buy out MIPS Technology, just like they are with everything else.

  12. Re:now for the real question on Multi-booting Mac Intel Developer Machines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The GIMP sucks. If you're a true graphic designer, you'll soon realize things you NEED that are only available in Photoshop.

  13. Meh, easy on Spring into Technical Writing · · Score: 1

    I took a Technical Writing course last semester in college. I didn't even buy the book, and I passed with an easy A.

    It's easier than English 101 or English 102.

  14. Wireless? on IP Telephony Drives in Power over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    So what about wireless? I love my wireless router, and I don't think I could go back to wired connections unless I had to (I use a laptop, and it's easy to roam around my house without worrying about cables).

  15. Re:Overall? on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 1

    That's under the College of Engineering.

  16. Overall? on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 5, Interesting

    At my university, there's The College of Computer Science, and under that, you can major in CS (Computer Science), IT (Information Technology) or IS (Information Systems). So is it all of the included majors affected, or is it just the CS majors that are affected?

  17. Awesome on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    "Asa Dotzler started contributing to the Mozilla project early on. He had developed an interest in open source software in 1995 while he was at Auburn University in Alabama, where he was studying architecture and preservation."

    That's just awesome. I attend the University of South Alabama, and I know exactly where Auburn University is. I think it's pretty cool to see another person from Alabama that is far from the stereotype of the "redneck" or "hick". Word up to Asa!

  18. Re:White lies? on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You mean "blue", not "yellow". IE has never been yellow, unless I'm colorblind.

  19. Mozilla Not At Risk! on Firefox Community Site Hacked · · Score: 5, Informative

    SpreadFirefox.com is based on Drupal CMS, and is in no way a sign that Mozilla can be hacked because of this. Yes, anything and anyone can be hacked, but I keep seeing a lot of people think that the Mozilla Foundation is at risk. But not with this hack, because they (Mozilla) don't run Drupal. Drupal has had vulnerabilities like this before in their older versions (I got attacked with it on my Online Portfolio site, which ran a vulnerable version of Drupal).

    Just clearing that up for people.

  20. It's not about... on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1

    ...what Microsoft says you should do, it's about what the REAL WORLD says you should do. I wouldn't trust her to fix my computer, because she's probably uninstall Firefox and Thunderbird, and make me stick to only Microsoft programs.

    See, that's the real test: If she's using Internet Explorer in her free time, she's an idiot. There's no way around it. MCP, MCSE, etc be damned, she's still an idiot if that's true.

  21. Re:Does that count... on Weighing the Internet · · Score: 1

    What about Network Address Translation (NAT)? You can have a LAN in your house with like 20 computers connected to a broadband router, and if you're using NAT, to the outside world, your LAN is only 1 collective node/IP address on the internet.

  22. Re:Free software = End of Innovation on Ballmer on Innovation · · Score: 1

    So, how can you explain all the innovation that's already taken place with OSS?

  23. I'm going to get hit by Dennis on Dennis Threatens Discovery Launch Date · · Score: 1

    I'm going to be getting hit by Dennis, I live in the southern-most tip of Alabama, in Mobile. I'm busy trying to prepare.

  24. Copy Protection? Yeah, right. on DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented · · Score: 1, Informative

    It doesn't matter what kind of "copy protection" a disc has, I can always get around it. How? Simple. My sound card supports "What U Hear", so basically, it can record sound streams from your computer (ie, if you're playing a flash movie in your browser, and hit record "What U Hear", the sounds from the flash movie, and any other sounds on your computer will be recorded in the exact quality as you hear it).

    So yeah, it's just a waste of money.

  25. Just Block Roland on Eastern Ink Painting on a Computer · · Score: 1

    OK, I know I shouldn't have to say this, but if the majority of people here would just block Roland's website, he wouldn't get many hits on his website. Just add an entry into your HOSTS file, as such:

    127.0.0.1 www.primidi.com
