  1. Well... on IE7 Announced for Longhorn and WinXP · · Score: 1

    ...at least from TFA Anti-Spyware will be "at no additional charge". It has to be with the stuff floating around.

    IE has standards-compliance issues, sure, but IE6 already seems pretty easy to work with to me, so I pray^H^H^H^Hthink it'll be even easier in IE numero siete. Not that I write many pages to test said compliance.

  2. Re:QUESTION #4: WHY SEX? on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 1
    Haven't you seen the Jerry Springer show?

    ...but that's where nature comes in. If people choose odd or alternate lifestyles, and they're not the best for the environment, then either the rest of the species shuns their offspring, or the ambient conditions kill them. That's why "Jerry Springer" lifestyles are not very common in real life. It's like peer-to-peer filesharing: the best files live on, while others are not downloaded by peers and/or deleted by the owner, accidentally (disasters) or on purpose (murders) over time.

  3. Great... on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...now we're slashdotting Grammy-winners' Web sites.

    I guess they had to *ahem*face the music soon, though.

  4. In Korea... on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...only old people call it the South Korea.

  5. Obligatory Rap... on How VeriSign Could Stop Drive-By Downloads · · Score: 1

    All my Silicon niggas, uhh,
    All my MIT bitches, uhh...

    (repeat and then freestyle about hacker lifestyle and experiences with spyware in the ghetto, with repeating drum beat in background)

  6. Agree with gimp... on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    but hardly OOo, and definitely not with the "buggy" WiMP claim. Mine pops up reminders to respect copyrights, but I doubt that's a bug. Though I must agree VLC trumps it in functionality and source open-ness.

  7. Wow. on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    Maybe -$50. If that's not enough you can ask for the same as a tax deduction.

  8. Nope. on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 1

    After all, it can be filtered by topic with the Sections links. (If you learned anything with the previous sentence you must be new here. Side note: funniest submission ever.)

  9. Re:Airport security on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Lie on the ground with your hands on your head and legs apart"

    Wow, a new sex position...the Bomb Squat, perhaps? "Yeah, sweetie, examine my belongings, oh yeah..."

    (Of course the suitcase-server could serve up the necessary *ahem*aphrodisiacs...)

  10. Gummy bears?!? on MS Employee Calls for No More Passwords · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean etching the fingerprints on those poor (but yummy) souls? My WTF-0-meter explodes at the very thought...

  11. debian woody? on Are Betas Taking On Lives of Their Own? · · Score: 1

    That's one place to insert a "rock-solid reliability" joke in. I would have also poked (pun unintended) fun at NASA's inaccuracy with Mars missions if their last two didn't do so well; those must have some really hard, long-lasting software.

  12. In other news... on Are Betas Taking On Lives of Their Own? · · Score: 2, Funny

    As ICQ counted down the seconds to release "in 3..2..1" ardent enemies postpone event by screaming "I call bullshit." No word yet on whether the popular chat software will ever be officially released or whether proc6's head has exploded from this offensive post.

    More news at 5:00.

  13. Exactly. on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1
    If they could show nothing but TV commercials and keep an audience that way, they would. But they can't - people get bored - so they put dollops of infantile fantasy, emotional pornography, and corporate disinformation masquerading as news to simply keep your attention between the commercials.

    Exactly. Why can't people see that big companies like NBC--and even smaller ones like UPN--do this for what big companies do best: making money? Ad revenue is one of the few ways the networks keep themselves alive, besides any infusions from parent companies and TV-themed stores; that is why the spots are on in the first place.

    In this case it's...

    1. Air television network
    2. Market it to others as way to get their point and product across (for a fee) (Note: 1 and 2 are interchangeable)
    3. Sell ad space to those interested
    4. Profit!(tm)

    ...and thus that second-last step is known to all.

  14. Careful... on Public Park Designated Copyrighted Space · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say that in front of our not-so-new wind-making overlords. I, for one, welcome them.

  15. I feel old... on Starcraft: Ghost for Next-Gen Consoles? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember when the Super Nintendo, Genesis and Pentium were next-generation--not to mention the AMD K6-2 ("with 3DNow! technology!"). The first game I ever played was that Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt dual pak. I miss teh old days...

  16. At least... on Image Causes Exploitable Overflow in Microsoft Products · · Score: 1

    ...he was right when he said "There are no weapons of mass destruction in Baghdad"--when we checked, anyway.

  17. Maybe... on Image Causes Exploitable Overflow in Microsoft Products · · Score: 1

    ...the guys who wrote TFA at Techtree are from the JPEG. They might be jealous since PNG is Turbo-Studly(tm).

    (Side note: Why doesn't Slashdot show character entities like ™ in "HTML Formatted" comments?

  18. Perhaps, but FOUR of them... on Prospects For the CELL Microprocessor Beyond Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...might be used to run the PS3 (assuming this is true). Outside of a weighty OS (assuming you use Windows, Mac or a Linux GUI with that nVidia) they should do better.

    Besides, 256 GFlops in single-prec. can't be too bad either...can it?

  19. from the orcs-in-britain-trolls-in-france dept. on World of Warcraft Hits Europe · · Score: 5, Funny

    You mean the orcs-in-britain-trolls-in-slashdot dept.?

  20. Jeez. on Prospects For the CELL Microprocessor Beyond Games · · Score: 1
    (TFA) the CELL processor has 25-30 GFlops in double-precision

    That's just sick (I think). Even cooler for Mac users who'll like the "dual threaded" PowerPC core of it, no? Can't wait for that PS3...

  21. Re:He chose the wrong word on Blog Content Based Solely on High Paying Keywords · · Score: 1

    Or pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

    Gotta open up those possibilities.

  22. RFIDs... on House Approves Electronic ID Cards · · Score: 1

    What's with this whole RFID craze everywhere, even as Slashdot has posted four stories this week about their insecurity and "hack-ability" if you will? It sounds like Pokemon and Microsoft are working together to make the world an insecur^WRFID-connected planet.

    Gotta hack 'em all, it seems.

  23. ./ ted? on Mitsubishi LED Projector: Small, Cheap, Durable · · Score: 1

    Is that dotslashted? Anyhow, thanks a lot.

  24. Re:Only, you say... on Mitsubishi LED Projector: Small, Cheap, Durable · · Score: 2, Funny
    My 80486DX4 is only VGA (640x480), you insensitive clod!

    My TI-83 is only 96x64, you insensitive clod!

    I do like the fit-in-your-hand capability of both the '83 and the projector, though. If they could do 1920x1080 (and at least 60Hz progressive--my Dell e770s can do so without blowing up) I'd be really happy.

  25. Olsen Twins? on Cloning License for Dolly's Doc · · Score: 1

    First of all they're not the Olsen Twins, they're now the Olsens you insensitive clod!

    Seriously, they should really look like...just check my sig. I won't change it anytime soon. I hope.
