    After turning slashdot pink, CmdrTaco was hunted by an angry mob of geeks and "Given a taste of his own caffinated beverage." Reports indicate that he was forced to wach slashdot refresh at a seisure inducing rate with his eyelids propped open, all the while his eyes were slowly being gouged with hot soldering irons. When one member of the mob was asked if the treatment was a bit cruel, he responded asking "Have you SEEN the site today?" Cowboyneal was not avalible for comment.

    who said his hat and how did he know?

  21. user base difference on Is The Firefox Honeymoon Over? · · Score: 1

    I think the underlying issue here is who, generaly, usis which browser.

    People who use IE tend to use it because it does it's job and they don't know/care about security, or it's just too much trouble to bother if they do know.

    People who use firefox, on the otherhand tend in generaly to be tech savy or close to someone who is. they tend to practice safe brousing better that the avaerage, and run antivirus software (or linux).

    I guess what i'm saying is, that even if security holes per user is the same between ie and firefox, which it's not, the firefox userbase would have a much better idea of what to do if they are attacked.

    Full disclosure: I am a firefox zealot.

  22. halo 2 awards on G-Phoria Awards Out of The Bag · · Score: 2, Informative

    First, let me clear. I am a Halo fanboy. I bought the special edition and the map pack. I even shelled out $50 bucks for the headset, cause I broke my communicator.

    There, now that I have that off my chest, let me say this: I had to think had to what the scarab battle was. Frankly it wasn't a boss, it was covenent inside a vehicle you had to get into. Admitily it was a 3 story tall vehicle with a plasma cannnon, but still.

    That said, Halo 2 deserved the soundtrack award, and the multiplayer one. I'm indifferent on the voice acting.

  23. Re: Naming Contest. RUPERT on Planet X Larger Than Pluto? · · Score: 1
