  1. Re:Disable Adblock? on Google Adds Chat To Gmail · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen from one of the links somebody else pasted to Google Mail's FAQ, all you can install AdBlock Plus and whitelist mail.google.com which is, apparently, enough. I haven't found a "BLOCK OUR ADS AND SUFFER" anywhere yet.

    Damn, and I thought outsourcing to India was bad enough!

  4. Re:Pssh. You call that life-like? on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It kind of smells like OpenOffice. Somewhat. Yes, I realise this comment is quite pointless, but the blue waves compelled me!

  5. Re:The Other Way Around? on NYC Subway Cell Service, No Cell-Related Cancer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey, if I read the article correctly, keeping your phone on the side you don't have a tumor yet will remove the tumor you have on the other side and will thus restore balance again.

    Next headline: Cell phones cure brain tumor!

  6. Re:Come on... on Makers · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but it's unfortunate that the category is in no way visible from Google Home, which is what I tend to use. The link sends me to http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot?m=2776, so I can't look at the link either. Rather than tossing blames, adding the Book Review part would have prevented this issue altogether.

  7. Re:Come on... on Makers · · Score: 1

    Seconded. I saw "Makers" show up and wondered 'what the hell is that supposed to be', only to be followed by a book review I really don't care about. Please prepend with Book Review next time, eds. Cheers.

    Yes, hundreds every day, probably. People are born all the time, you know.

    I guess we'll have to compensate and go with naming it 'Linux'. Oh wait.

  10. Re:Okay, so I'm a Scrooge on Santa IM Worm Hits AOL, MSN and Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately for your analysis, people die, and new people are born every day. There's always new people using computers, uninformed of the risks, not knowing there -is- a risk. That's hardly their fault.

    It's the fact that it's flat that gives it the illusion of motion.

    The crack probably helps.

    Windows on the alarm clock? Sign me up for one of those.

    Finally I'll be able to use the "my alarm clock didn't work" excuse a few times a week. :)

    Yeah, slashdot is known to post fakes every once in a while.

    They offer bandwidth. They make no claims whatsoever with regard to throughput.

    Also, I've been playing it for a while. Considering the outdated engine, they did a good job, and the game's atmosphere has been done awesomely, too. Definite retail quality. Definite download material if you're a Thief 2 fan, IMHO. :)

  19. Re:I dare disagree. on Miyamoto Says Today's Games Too Long · · Score: 1

    I do tend to like RPGs. I have Neverwinter Nights for PC, Tales of Symphonia for my GameCube, as well as several other titles (Morrowind, for example. Never get tired of that game and I still recommend it to any who like games like it.) I guess being an RPG nut does put me at a disadvantage when more pick-up-play-and-put-down titles are developed.

  20. I dare disagree. on Miyamoto Says Today's Games Too Long · · Score: 1

    I guess it's a personal opinion, but I dare disagree. In fact, a lot of the casual games can be finished in about two days. I'd much rather have my games be so immensely large that it can keep me busy, preferrably without dropping variety ("Hi, pick up # of #, enemy # drops them.", multiply by a couple thousand.)

  23. Re:Address The Report on Network Penetration Scans and Executive Reaction? · · Score: 1

    I don't think the point of getting a third-party to audit security and write a report of it, is to audit security yourself and write a report of it. Rather, it seems like a misunderstanding in whatever management runs the place, and they should be better instructed that a lot of these aren't worth bothering with. Then again, we all know how stubborn managements can be.

    I believe PHP5 doesn't work well with Apache 2's ... er.. threading model, it was? I'm not entirely sure anymore, but it was something about the way Apache 2 handled different processes. I suppose looking into it wouldn't mean any harm.
