  1. Re:No concerns about RFI? on Asus Motherboard Box Doubles As PC Case · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Okay where is the link to the picture of your set up? I'm a sucker for checking out alternate mods and mounts.

  2. Re:Are they kidding? on If App Store's Trademark Is Generic, So Is Windows' · · Score: 1

    Microsoft did not successfully sue over the Windows trademark... they lost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._Lindows

  3. Re:It's not Windows but "MS Windows" on If App Store's Trademark Is Generic, So Is Windows' · · Score: 1

    But Microsoft lost in court and paid 20 mill for the Lindows name. You are providing proof against yourself in your example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._Lindows

  4. Re:This mean the memory issues will get fixed? on Firefox 4 the Last Big Release From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    I notice your bug report is for Beta 11. In the earlier Slashdot post for Beta 12: http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/02/26/0031254/Firefox-4-Beta-12-Released-Fixes-Over-650-Bugs I noticed several memory issue bugs listed as fixed. Was yours related to one of them?

  5. Re:"At last!" ...Really? on Firefox 4 Beta 12 Released; Fixes Over 650 Bugs · · Score: 1

    But I like the Awesomebar.

  6. Re:Irony on Canonical To Divert Money From GNOME · · Score: 1

    I would mod you insightful, if I could. Funny normally I have a fist full of mod points.

  7. Re:why has google taken OUR # 1 search ranking? on Google's Fight Against 'Low-Quality' Sites Continues · · Score: 1

    Does anyone actually search for you on Google? And click your link regularly? That also helps if your popular enough to at least receive that. It also helps if your site is easily searchable and a few other technical specifics any good website administrator should know.

  8. Re:Drupal is not a framework on Drupal Competes As a Framework, Unofficially · · Score: 1

    I'll see your Wikipedia link and raise you another that lists Drupal as a PHP Framework.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php_framework#PHP

  9. Re:My provider (WideOpenWest) isn't listed on Feds Help You Find Your Fastest Internet Service · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing their top tier service of Turbo Plus will burst at that speed but not for continuous downloads.

  10. Re:Not accurate results on Feds Help You Find Your Fastest Internet Service · · Score: 1

    How about Verizon Mifi? Do they offer data cell service to your area?

  11. Re:Betting pool on Feds Help You Find Your Fastest Internet Service · · Score: 1

    It shows Time Warner for my area (10-25 Mbps) So I am guessing you are just seeing an example of incomplete information for the map. Not that is any better.

  12. Re:This is important? on Science Channel Buys Rights To Firefly · · Score: 1

    If your counting flashbacks then... you must be saying the Simon Rescued River before the War with the Independents (Pilot Episode).... which would be incorrect.

  13. Re:analogy on Why Debian Matters More Than Ever · · Score: 1

    Very true. It is an imperfect analogy but better than the original as far as actual relationships go.

  14. Re:blocking facts and research on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1

    Yes but to the post I was replying to FatherOfONe spoke in context of a party relationship as opposed to political ideology.

  15. Re:blocking facts and research on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1

    While Glenn Beck calls himself "libertarian leaning" he is not registered as a Libertarian.

  16. Re:Enough Already. on Book Review: Pro Drupal 7 Development, Third Edition · · Score: 1

    Hey this one includes a brief synopsis about what Drupal is. Finally one submitter got that part right so that commenters wouldn't complain about it. Though after so many reviews I would hope all the Slashdot crowd knows what Drupal is.

  17. Re:analogy on Why Debian Matters More Than Ever · · Score: 2

    I would say a better analogy would be:
    Ubuntu is to Debian as Flock is to Firefox.

  18. Re:Ubantu = Fail on Why Debian Matters More Than Ever · · Score: 1

    Not sure how long Ubantu has been around... never heard of it.

    Ubuntu on the other hand was first released 20 October 2004. Ubuntu is used by an estimated 12 million users and accounts for about 50% share of desktop Linux users.

    I would take these numbers all a grain of salt as they are estimates from Canonical and others. Stats courtesy the Ubuntu Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)

  19. Re:I thought we were over this? on Spinach Could Be Used For Hydrogen Fuel · · Score: 1

    Well if you RTFA you will come notice that the spinach is not the energy source in this case. It is being used as a catalyst for the hydrogen production.

  20. Re:The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. Liu Xiaobo was the last to be awarded in 2010 and arguably a more deserving individual.

  21. Re:And Yet, No Ogg Theora in IE on Microsoft Makes Chrome Play H.264 Video · · Score: 1

    I believe it has been used on Wikipedia and even had a push to be the defacto format there. Though yes it is a minor used format.

  22. Re:Be green on Crematorium Heats Swimming Pool · · Score: 1

    And decomposition produces heat so your solution would be a win/win.

  23. Blocked the websites on Righthaven Adds Forum Posters To Copyright Suit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I just blocked the websites of the papers. I wouldn't want to accidentally see their sites in the future.... or their advertising.

  24. FIxed that for you. on The Ambiguity of "Open" and VP8 Vs. H.264 · · Score: 2

    "Firefox, Opera and Chrome" Since it appears that sentence was directed at browsers.

  25. Like anything on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    Laptops can be a bane or improvement on the classroom environment. I think the better question is how to most appropriately take advantage of them
