  1. Re:Nah on Ballmer: 'We'll catch Google' · · Score: 1

    Year ago I changed the setting in MS Word to save files as .RTF by default. Now I heardly have any more .DOC files. It recommend that every company's IT department do the same to all machines.

  2. Totally misses the point of AJAX on Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework · · Score: 1

    The nice thing about AJAX is that it works in all modern browsers. (And it makes for dynamic pages too.) So a framework that requires .NET is a step backwards.

  3. Re:SLOW SLOW SLOW... on Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about it works well.
    You don't write code to go over each character of the XML! Use the builtin stuff.

  4. Re:Is it just me, or couldn't posts about Dev thin on Eclipse 3.1 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot just wouldn't be Slashdot with boring/sane stuff like that in there!

    How about this: a new version of Apache [a http [http is the the web protocol] server [a program [an ordered set of instructions] that runs all the time] was just released.

  5. Re:You can have my xterm when you pry it from my c on Xorg and Desktop Eyecandy · · Score: 1

    Some people like it - some don't. That's why modular is good.

  6. Re:Okay, Okay on Microsoft Cuts Anti-Virus Support For Unix / Linux · · Score: 1

    Except Microsoft isn't an ex-evil doer.

  7. GPS isn't a given on Forget GPS, Hello WPS · · Score: 1

    The US is getting more and more paranoid. I wouldn't be surprised if it is routinely shutdown every time we are in a homeland security declared red alert.
    Nice to have a alternative.

    Also, most new laptops have WiFi these days - not GPS.
    That alone make this useful.

  8. language on Vietnam Courts Microsoft and Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    Vietnam had to wait for Microsoft to release a local-lauguage version (of Windows?). If they used open source they could make it themselves.

  9. Bill is king on Vietnam Courts Microsoft and Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    So he only takes to other heads of state now.
    What an ass.
    How is going to hear what's really going on from these guys.

  10. Re:Bullshit on Programming Jobs Losing Luster in U.S. · · Score: 1

    PDX is the Portland Airport.
    I'd rather work downtown.

  11. Re:backslashes on Next-gen Windows Command Line Shell Now in Beta · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that really is the reason. But if they really wanted to they could -even now- switch to a forward slash. They could make their commands understand dashes for options and when you see
    copy /b c:/file1.txt c:/file2.txt is pretty reason for a program to understand that the /b is an option.

  12. Miranda is really really good on GPL Violations of Miranda IM · · Score: 3, Interesting

    These rip-offs are a bit of proof that Miranada is the best open source multiprotocol IM client around.
    Give it a try if you haven't already!

  13. backslashes on Next-gen Windows Command Line Shell Now in Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While they are on their way to being more Unix-like how about fixes their broken backslashes. It would be nice to be able to do:

    cd '/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox'

  14. I like to get out on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    I work all day at my computer at home I love to get out of the house and see a movie or anything!

  15. Train would be cooler on France and Japan Planning New Supersonic Jet · · Score: 1

    How about some undersea tracks from Calif. to Japan. But some bullet trains on there - now that would be cool.

  16. DivX is useless on DivX 6.0 is Out · · Score: -1, Troll

    It only works with Windows and I don't think its documented. So what if it compresses a bit more.

  17. But, does it run Linux? on OpenSolaris Code Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, does it?

  18. Fans on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Will Apple on Intel have big honking fans?
    Yuck.

  19. Re:Will never catch on on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 1

    I guess it would be impossible to have a piece of paper on which you write these notes beside your computer. Or even in your Firefox bookmarks!

  20. Re:I beat the Slashdot effect on Fedora Core 4 Available · · Score: 1

    With BitTorrent the slashdot effect actually helps.
    Since there are likely to be more users downloading and they are more likely to be close to you.

  21. And Firefox is THE product of the year on Tor Named One of the Year's Best Products · · Score: 3, Interesting
  22. Re:The Opposite House on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 1

    That Dilbert house is quite nice and smart.
    It shows that houses are easily built now but
    they have bad ergonomics. Like the formal dining room: so big, and expensive but rarely used.
    If house builders designed UIs there would be huge buttons for rarely used functions.

  23. sendmail=yuck, postfix=nice on I am the Most Spammed Person in the World · · Score: 1

    Thanks for tips on how to configure an obsolete program I recall using a few years ago called sendmail. I don't think I am going to switch back.
    How about postfix receipes?

  24. Another user? on 'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming · · Score: 1

    So are they going to run IE as a different user like we run Apache (as user apache). I don't think Firefox does that.

  25. Re:Tabbrowser Preferences on Spoofing Flaw Resurfaces in Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Does the code in your sig work?
    I would think you'd need main() { exit(1); }
