  1. Re:Nice to see them plugging ahead on ReactOS 0.3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm on a crappy old PPC eMac and I booted it once in QEMU just for kicks. Worked, but vvveeeerrrrryyyyyy ssssllllooooowwwwwwlllllyyyyyyy.

  2. Reminds me of something on Subliminal Messages Might Actually Work · · Score: 1

    The Psy Corps is your friend.
    Trust the Psy Corps.

    (couldn't use all caps like the original)
    (obscure?)

  3. "Nubbins" on Museum IDs New Species of Dinosaur · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Am I the only one who chuckles whenever they read or hear the word "nubbins"?

  4. In his sig. on Humans Hardwired to Believe in Supernatural Deity? · · Score: 1

    His anecdotal "proof" can be found in the link in his sig.

  5. Soviet Russia Soviet China? on China Treats Internet Addiction Very Seriously · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's time for a new joke.

  6. Toys! on New Details on Xerox Inkless Printer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One could make a killing selling this paper with a sort of light pen and light eraser. Just like a pencil, but without the erasor shreddings.

  7. Oddly enough...not blocked. on From Bess to Worse · · Score: 1

    I'm behind BESS here, and this page isn't blocked, even with all that.

  8. Re:all this is moot on Everything You Know About Disks Is Wrong · · Score: 2

    No, they wouldn't. People buy new drives because the price of storage keeps going down and the size of the average file keeps going up.

  9. Quote straight from Watergate on iTunes Uncovers Musical Hoax · · Score: 1

    From the Wikipedia entry on Hatto: "...Barrington-Coupe denied any wrongdoing and said he would ask his own sound engineer to compare the recordings."

    When told to turn over the White House tapes, Nixon carefully reassured investigators that he had gone over the tapes personally and had found nothing incriminating.

  10. Re:Apple is a hardware company. on The Prospects For Virtualizing OS X · · Score: 1

    Agreed. If Apple started letting people run OS X in a non-Mac environment or sold it separately, they would quickly go out of the computer business. (iPods, on the other hand...) Anyone else remember how the Mac clone program turned out?

  11. Why is this under Apple? on Where Are Operating Systems Headed? · · Score: 1

    The summary doesn't even mention Apple... (then again, I didn't rtfa, but I think the question stands.)

  12. At this rate, ts name in 10 years will be... on Microsoft Not Dropping Hotmail Name · · Score: 1

    Windows Direct Live Connect Delivery IcyHotmail Interface Hub.

  13. To quote a Slashdotter on the last iPhone thread.. on Cisco Lost Rights to iPhone Trademark Last Year? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    (though I can't remember his name)

    iPH0WN3D!

  14. Redundant, eh? on NASA Needs Fake Moon Dust · · Score: 1

    I would like to point out that when I made that comment, there were NO OTHER COMMENTS on this story.

    Thank you.

  15. Of course! on NASA Needs Fake Moon Dust · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We all know the truth: the fake moon dust from the LAST moon landing went stale, and they need to rebuild the set so they can shoot more "real moon footage." NASA, so naive, they don't know we're onto them.

  16. WOOOOOOO on PC World's 20 Most Innovative Products of 2006 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A bad upgrade to a ubiquitous software package, a chip, 2 game systems, 2 hard drives, 2 phones... Now I remember why I don't read PC World.

  17. I'll bet anyone $10... on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: 1

    that Ze Frank is going to cover this today under "Dirty Space News."

  18. Re:Yes/No/Maybe on How to Encourage Use of OSS? · · Score: 1

    Would you be so kind as to upload your image somewhere? I'd love to have it.

  19. Who cares? on Apple vs Microsoft Both Copycats · · Score: 1

    All I care is that I get nifty new features. I could care less about this childish argument about "who thought of it first."

  20. Re:Competition on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    I would like to ask what software this machine comes with. My Mac Mini came with software for playing music, making music, playing videos, making videos, making DVDs, entertainment, keeping your schedule, syncing to most Bluetooth and PDA devices, checking email, browsing the internet, writing documents and spreadsheets, and developing software. (By name: iTunes, GarageBand, iTunes again, iMovie, iDVD, Nanosaur 2/Chess (cheap, I know), iCal, iSync, Mail, Safari, AppleWorks (old, but works fine), and Xcode.)

    One of the biggest pull factors for me in buying a computer is bundled software, and I have never seen a machine that was better outfitted in this area than Macs. Most new Windows desktops I've seen have simply been sold to the highest bidder.

  21. Re:Yes but... on Game Console Energy Usage Comparison · · Score: 1

    It will draw phantom power.

  22. Awful. on Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    That post had the worst grammar I've ever seen in a Slashdot news item.

    On another note, the article makes some valid points, but nothing we haven't heard before.

  23. So? on Dell Installs Google Software at Factory · · Score: 1

    So they're using Google Toolbar and some other apps. Many other companies have already done this, and Dell just happens to be one of the most prominent. This isn't a "significant step," it's publicity.

  24. Spelling and content gripes on Recipe for Making Symetrical Holes in Water · · Score: 1

    SymMetrical.

    Anyway, this isn't exactly a groundbreaking discovery.

  25. Re:Gray Usually is a Color on Microsoft Unveils Online Advertising Service · · Score: 1

    This may well be one of the most off-topic posts I have ever read. Also, the price thing isn't true. Do some research.
