  1. Security through delinquency? on Vista to Include Stepped up Anti-Piracy Measures · · Score: 0

    So if you don't pay for it, Microsoft restricts your use of Internet Explorer? Sounds more like a security feature than an anti-piracy one to me.

  2. I see wide ranging aplications... on Computer Analysis Sets NASA History Straight · · Score: 3, Funny

    The time is ripe for Slashdot editors to try and convince us that duplicate stories were the result of communications echoes.

  3. The more you know... on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 0

    Pacifist (Noun) - A Person who loves his enemies more surely than his friends. See also 'Mental Disorders', 'Youthful Delusions' and 'Virtual Ideologies: Constructs extant only in Isolation'.

    In all seriousness, why would anyone obey their license? We know they won't fight you!

    Your fatal flaw; the reason no one cares:
    Failure to steal any IE market share!

  5. Re:Overlooked value of the Sierra-era on Leisure Suit Larry's Maker On Wedgies v. Bullets · · Score: 0

    I play a lot of Unreal Tournament. It has taught me to kill everyone who is a different color than me and my friends. I might end up in jail if I ever meet a blue person ;)

  6. Mostly Chickens on Chicken and Egg Problem Solved · · Score: 0

    This means that the first chicken's parents were not chickens but only MOSTLY chickens. Unsurprisingly, they tasted like chicken.

  7. What apple isn't telling you. on New Apple Campaign Target PC Flaws · · Score: 0

    They had to cut the part where Wintel is bent over coughing from his virus and Mac tries to have gaysex with him.

  8. Well, the ponies are new. on Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal · · Score: 0

    I'm a Republican. Slashdot has always looked pink to me.

  9. Remain Calm! on Policing Porn Isn't Part of The Job · · Score: 0
    I am a registered Republican (lesser of two evils, etc.).

    Glass is half empty type, huh?

    So now we have our own versions of the Muslim world's "Morality Police"?

    Yeah, like totally. My sisters boyfriends uncles daughters cousin saw this dude get his hands chopped off at Baskin Robins for like having a Hustler magazine in his pocket.

    Just keep repeating: "The exception is the Trend :)"

    The main problem I have with the GOP is this damn puritanism. This is the 21st century, dammit! If we force our views (actually their views, not mine. I have TB's of pr0n) on others, how are we better than the damn Islamist's?

    Girl vs. Beasts of the Field Porn? CHECK! eww

    Midget Porn? CHECK!

    Bukakke Porn? CHECK!

    Prophet/Saviour Porn? PROBABLY!

    Puritanism? NOT FUCKING REALLY.

    Ok I'm being a bit of an ass and all but my point is that we have at this time the most freedom (that the puritanical would oppose) that we have ever had. Those security guys at the Library were fools and they did not prevail, although I do hope the Librarian would kick someone out browsing the hardcore porn in public view at the Library. Standards in the public square are not in my view too puritanical (Can't fuck on the table at Dennys for example).

    Oh and were are better than the Islamofascists because their version of Slashdot involves a sword and your head is the dot.

  10. Re:For those of us who don't follow mozilla.org... on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 0
    To make the missing new tab button appear, just right-click on the button bar and choose customize.

    I am aware of that ability but it does not let you put the "new tab button" on the tab bar itself where the suite had it. To be honest it is a picky thing but when I looked into it back when Firefox was still sub 1.0 I found that "a lot" of people wanted it restored but one of the Firefox hackers didn't like it so it was gone.

  11. Re:For those of us who don't follow mozilla.org... on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting
    What missing features or options were you disappointed by?

    Missing: The "New Tab Button" on the Tab Bar. It's removal flew in the face of consistency (You can remove tabs with a button on the bar but to add them you must navigate a menu or use a keyboard combo). At the same time Firfox added the ability to create a new tab by double clicking blank space in the tab bar which works well until you have several tabs and no more easily clickable blank space. This is poor design. I would suggest amending it by always leaving a little free space on the bar but at that point why not just put the button back? I am aware you can get it back with an extension but it often doesn't theme right and disapears around upgrade time.

    Missing: "About Plugins" Menu Option. It's nice to see what plugins you have installed and what insecure out of date versions your running. Firefox has the info but no UI access to it (why no link in advanced options?). Since Firefox is supposed to be simple and secure it should probably check popular plugin versions and offer to update them or send you to a download instead.

    Missing: Performance. I remember when the design goal for Firefox was "Lean and Fast". The Suite Browser seems snappier on my system.

    Missing: Modern Theme. A lot of people don't like it but it really is useable.

    Missing: Plugins that can persist across minor upgrades. Every time a buddy of mine upgrades Firefox I have to fix his plugin that allows him to stream videos to Windows Media Player instead of dowloading them completely before playback. Every time I think about telling him "Nevermind, just fucking use IE".

    While I still recommend Firefox to friends, it seems sometimes they are going backwards from their initial plans (hidden features bloat, pigheaded design decisions from on high).

  12. Re:Two heads are better than one! on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Russia, Chernobyl babies with one head are better than those with two!

  13. DVD Jon: on First Blu-ray Movie Titles Announced · · Score: 0

    Your misssion, should you decide to accept it, it to eviscerate the new content protection system in record time so that humanity may transcode HQ video into wmv free realms and enjoy screencaps of Milla Jovovich in her skivvies at unbefore seen resolutions. The MPAA will self-destruct in 3 seconds.

  14. My Impression. on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 0

    Sounds like the soundtrack to whales fucking slowly. No Digg.

  15. In light of this... on Canadian Ex-Minister Calls For Serious ET Study · · Score: 0

    I think it is reasonable to expect at least a months break before any Canadiens call US leaders idiots. They may even have to absorb some shots from the rubber dog.

  16. Producers boost ratings with Chicks. Myth? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 0

    Whose idea was it to end the sausage-fest by including females on the show and did it bump up the ratings? If so, might I suggest going for universal appeal by having a blonde, brunette and redhead?

    Ah, there's the Why, a loophole for Campaign Finance law.

    Free speech IS a loophole for campaign finance law. As it always has, democracy will rely on peoples ability to separate purchased "opinion" and that tainted by self interest from unbiased truth. I look forward to the day that John McCain and his ilk from across the isle will have their cure all elixir of Finance Reform and Speech Limits rammed down their throat by a wiser public.

    I think there should be an offshore list where people can donate to bounties for the purpose of having people who hold ridiculous patents assasinated. It would serve the purpose of keeping people civil that shame used to.

    Ok. Maybe that's too extreme...but I have just been playing a violent videogame so it's probably not my fault.
