  1. Re:Chernobyl... on Little Health Risk Seen From Fukushima's Radioactivity · · Score: 2

    Thank you very much for the nice quote from Thomas Jefferson. Just google it and it's probably "The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers." http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/thomas_jefferson_7.html

  2. Presentationzen, TED on Ask Slashdot: How To Give IT Presentations That Aren't Boring? · · Score: 1

    Pick a copy of Presentationzen by Garr and study about it. Also read some presentations about technical topic on TED to learn how people present them

  3. Re:I have tried a lot of them on Ask Slashdot: Ebook Reader for Scientific Papers? · · Score: 1

    If you have an android tablet, would recommend you give RepliGo Reader a look.

  4. high school physics on Kilogram Gets Controversial; Why Not Split the Difference? · · Score: 1

    1kg refers to a unit of mass, not weight. In everyday conversation it could be fine, but not a slashdot article on physics

  5. Re:Question on Apple To Hold iPhone 4 Press Conference · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Surely. He is not stupid enough to hold it with the "left" way

  6. Icon on /. on Ballmer Hits 10th Anniversary As Microsoft CEO · · Score: 1

    As Bill has left for long time and Ballmer is becoming so "important" in the /., why don't we change the icon about MS stories with Ballmer?

  7. Re:Toshiba: guilt by association? on Toshiba Employee Arrested For Selling Software To Break Copy Limits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I totally agree with what you are saying. When students are caught taking drug, the president of the university has to come and apologize in front of the press; when a guy committed in mass killing, his parents has to deal with this also.

  8. Re:Package Managers? on OpenOffice.org V3.0 Sets Download Record, 80% Windows · · Score: 1

    In Gentoo it is already in the official portage (and marked stable), so that you won't need a third party overlay.

  9. Unmaintainable Code on Best and Worst Coding Standards? · · Score: 1

    I would highly recommend this article http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=2547/ enough for fun. but probably some people are already doing some of them in their code?

  10. Re:Stability on Linux? on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: 1

    To me issuing a killall npviewer.bin usually helps on my Gentoo 64 box.

  11. Re:Got me excited there for a minute. on Free IMAP On Gmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know about your case, but when I changed my language settings from Japanese the English(US) the IMAP option comes out!

  12. Re:Insert clippy joke here. on Beijing Police To Launch Animated Web Patrols · · Score: 1

    Does this "police" runs in Linux?? This just reminded me the story few days ago... http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/23/ 190238

  13. Re:Turn the article around on Some Truth to Wii as GameCube 1.5? · · Score: 1

    Hey Nintendo have dogs too! http://www.nintendogs.com/

  14. Cake on Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 2.0.0 · · Score: 1

    Any cake from Microsoft this time??

  15. Re:Windows? on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    I am quite surprise seems no one has mentioned BSOD! You can show this to your boss and say your works gone and request for deadline extension, but just a second before BSOD you are reading /. or p0rn site. Ooop, sorry is this a feature instead of a bug?

  16. Linux version? on Google Releases Customized IE 7 · · Score: 1

    When will google make a customized version of IE7 to run on Linux (with wine or whatever)?

  17. People cannot make perfect code on Thai IT Minister Slams Open Source · · Score: 1
    As a programmer, if I can write good code, why should I give it away?
    Because people cannot write better code by themselves when comparing with having many people looking at the code in an open domain.
  18. Re:Why is the delay such a big deal? on Vista Gets Official Release Dates · · Score: 1

    I can see it is important to hardware vendor as the coming of Vista means a big drive of sales to new CPU, memory, harddisk... or simply a whole new machine.

  19. Windows Internet Explorer on IE Sends Cake to Firefox 2 Team · · Score: 1

    Just for information. IE7 is now named "Windows Internet Explorer" instead of "Microsoft Internet Explorer"

  20. cmd.exe on When Cellphones Become Webservers · · Score: 1

    I think I am getting thousand of "GET /msadc/..%c1%9f../..%c1%9f../..%c1%9f../winnt/syst em32/cmd.exe?/c+dir" or the similar everyday?

  21. Options to fake windows? on Microsoft Pitches LUA Security Repository · · Score: 1

    Actually many program actually do not require admin right but check this by default before they run... It would be nice if there is an option, instead of "run as", we can have a "pretend as"?

    Oh. a little bit OT but I run my wine inside Linux and programs are all seen to be running as admin... surely I am logged in as a normal account.

  22. Re:LUA ignored by developers too on Microsoft Pitches LUA Security Repository · · Score: 1

    So please, software developers, check your software works without admin priviledges!

    Many developers do checking, but instead seems they just check if the program is runned wtih Admin right at the beginning to avoid any unexpected behaviour in their own program?

  23. 9x% Users lack security on Most Home PC Users Lack Security · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ... because they are using Windows. Period.

  24. Re:Instead of protection, how about a better OS? on Microsoft to Ship New Malware Protection Utility · · Score: 1

    So just like Windows Firewall it just makes somehow default to the system and making the giant monster even bigger? Very good, people are finding their computer runs slower and buy a brand new computer with Vista preinstalled...

  25. Re:Why doesn't microsoft offer the option... on The Massachusetts Office Party · · Score: 1

    Even better, this will cause some people to switch to Linux if they are locked by MS Office (yes I know you can use wine to run MS Office).
