  1. Re:I'll stick to 2d on 3D User Interfaces · · Score: 1
  2. Re:I'll stick to 2d on 3D User Interfaces · · Score: 1

    actually there is a 1D UI - it's called a push-button... (preferably red )

  3. Re:I suck, got it on Delphi Renaissance · · Score: 1

    Besides the fact the there is a Code Explorer thingy where you can just declare the method (more than one thingy actually - and that's not even counting ModelMaker) there is a shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-C)that expands the declarations you write in the interface part into functions (with begin... end too). This has been in there for ages - as other very useful stuff...

    In closing: yes you suck - learn to use the IDE before complaining repetitively like a brainless automaton... <g,d,r>

  4. it keeps going and going.... on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 1

    Nice - the defaced page is still there (2:16pm UTC) - sombody give Darl a call and tell him to put the webmaster monkey to work...

  5. Re:Does that include labor? on 230mph Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Battery acid from a dropped/cracked/faulty battery is an entirely different story.

    Did you notice that the car in the article (like most other electric cars - for weight saving reasons) uses lithium based batteries, which don't contain any acid? (or fluid - for the LiPo ones)

  6. Re:The latest score just in... on Ion-Propulsion Craft Reaches The Moon · · Score: 1

    woooosh!... hey, a joke just passed by you...

  7. Re:it makes sence on Soldiers Call for Engineering Tech Support · · Score: 1

    Serbia/Kosovo was the perfect example of NOT having justified reasons. Either that or it was an example of going after the wrong guys.

  8. Re:Glad I have Snapstream on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 1

    Ah c'mon mods... give this guy a +5 Funny Troll...

  9. attack of the clones! on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 0, Troll
  10. Re:opera on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 1

    What about Maxthon? It uses the IE engine with almost none of the problems, so websites actually do render correctly. Among other stuff: fast, configurable, tabbed navigation, mouse gestures, very efficient popup/content-ad blocker, shitload of plugins...

    Ah, and for the OSS-obssed: it can also use the Gecko engine (some features, like advanced drag and drop stuff, are disabled because of it though).

  11. Re:Dying isn't green on Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel · · Score: 1

    Oh yes it green... SOYLENT GREEN that is!

  12. obsesive compulsive correction! on Cray XD1 Now Available · · Score: 1

    Actually this is AMD64 / x86-64 - it just emulates x86...

  13. Re:I wonder why... on Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4 · · Score: 1

    "Computing" pi is just a stability test commonly used by the overclocking community to verify a stable overclock (it heats the processor better than many other things).

  14. Re:I wonder why... on Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4 · · Score: 1

    because you would need a beowulf cluster of those to keep just one 6GHz cpu running (look at their specs)

  15. Re:Painting Your Way to Safety - half right on Asteroid 4179 Toutatis Will Miss Earth, This Time · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fuck that! Send all the nukes we have! It's not like if it fails we still have anything left to do with them...

  16. slashdot storm warning! on Splatometer Results In · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling the rspb.org.uk might go splat! then they'll have another thing to scoop&scrape...

  17. Re:Sell for a fraction... on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    a) you've overpaid. a lot! (I assume you mean US$) b) you haven't seen many games lately, have you mr. low-uid man?

  18. windows update anyone? on Windows Upgrade, FAA Error Cause LAX Shutdown · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and office update while you're at it too...

    Wouldn't want to spoil a nice MS bashing session, but I think the bug was in the ported application, not in the OS - probably someone used the wrong data type to hold timestamps somewhere within the program (win95 had the same bug) - I've seen win2k last more than 47 days without reboots...

  19. Re:"May not get built without help from U.S. Gov.. on The Space Elevator - Public or Private? · · Score: 1

    Or just one Vulkan/Hercules, probably with plenty of space leftover...

    Also a quote from the same site (a little biased, but what the heck - this is slashdot...): "Some people say revive Saturn-V, well this is a 40 year old rocket design! The costs of reviving this rocket would also be prohibitive. Besides NASA apparently lost the plans! In any case, Saturn V is dead and buried."

  20. Re:Not spam on MPAA Sends Linux Australia Dubious Takedown Notice · · Score: 1

    That happend also with Borland - some moron had the idea to rename it to Inprise (ain't that cute...) - they had to come back because nobody knew/liked the new name...

  21. Re:Getting your hopes up. on Doom 3 Demo Available · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually the POS geForce4 MX (440 was the most common one) is just above a GF2MX (and usually below a GF2TI). Also while the GF3TI has some older versions of pixel shader the GF4MX has none. This is Slashdot - the anal factor is off the scale...

  22. Re:Hubble Telescope: Maximum Science for your Buck on Antarctic Telescope? · · Score: 1

    I wanted to post the same reply - it's good that I looked down and saw yours. But he can have my bollocks anyway...

  23. Nice bounty... on FTC Recommends Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is that dead or alive?

  24. Re:Somebody is busy ... on GdkPixbuf Suffers Image Decoding Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Analogies are not your strong suite it seems... A good musician _will_ suck if he's forced to use a diacorded clavecin instead of a piano.

    Newsflash: overflow & friends are much more common in C/C++ apps than in other languages, like those running on .NET, Java or the OP in Delphi. Things like compiling with the GS flag help, but it's the language itself that makes programmers prone to miss potential bugs.

    parent should get +5 karma whore ;>
