  1. Re:Another nail in Apple's coffin. on Samsung Announces Galaxy Alpha Featuring Metal Frame and Rounded Corners · · Score: 1

    I wish my Samsung Galaxy S5 was a copy of an iPhone 5. Never again, Samsung, never again.

  2. Re:Yeah, right on Apple Says Many Users 'Bought an Android Phone By Mistake' · · Score: 1

    I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 to replace my iPhone 4 instead of buying an iPhone 5. They were the same price. I regret it completely.

  3. I agree with Tim on Apple Says Many Users 'Bought an Android Phone By Mistake' · · Score: 1

    I regret buying this Samsung Galaxy S5. I hate it. Nothing is done properly and it actually works poorly with my GNU/Linux desktop. I had an iPhone 4 and I should have upgraded to an iPhone 5; it was the same price.

  4. Name and shame on Malware Attack Infected 25,000 Linux/UNIX Servers · · Score: 1

    What vendors and/or products? Why protect them?

  5. I like it on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    Everything is much easier to read now, especially the comments. Though that's not to say the comments were really worth reading; see the negative comments about the beta for example.

  6. Re:little australia on NZ File-Sharers, Remixers Guilty Upon Accusation · · Score: 1

    I don't understand your post. This law was brought in by a Labour Party minister, and supported whole-heartedly by the National Party ministers. Meanwhile, a more socialist party, the Greens, would repeal section 92A of the Act.

    So... are you full of shit?

  7. Re:or it could be... on IE8 Breaking Microsoft's Web Standards Promise? · · Score: 1

    It's actually not that difficult to deploy; it can be silently installed with a startup script. It can also be controlled, to a degree, via group policy with a slight change to one file; though it could be much easier.

  8. Re:cry wolf young child, for no one believes you on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bollocks. The web was not created so that people could create volatile temporary pages and that shouldn't be what it is today. It's just stupidity and laziness on the part of developers a lot of the time.

  9. Re:The original was the best on The Making of System Shock 2 · · Score: 1

    Yeah I know, but they're not classes. It's one of the biggest misperceptions of SS2. There are a ridiculous number of forum posts asking which class is the best, blah blah blah. Few people realise it just saves you having to spend some cyber-modules once you get into the game proper.

  10. Re:The original was the best on The Making of System Shock 2 · · Score: 1

    There are no classes in System Shock 2. But yes, I too wish they'd had more time to fix bugs.

  11. Re:FarCry/KryTek had this first on John Carmack Discuss Mega Texturing · · Score: 1

    ... at a time when DOOM3 was retricted to claustrophobic dungeon-type environments.

    Doom 3 is not restricted to claustrophobic dungeon-type environments at all. The game was built to the design they had made, and to accomodate the power of PC's at the time.

  12. Re:What I'm curious about on Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features · · Score: 1

    I have 12 tabs across 2 different windows and only using ~55MB. I lurv the fox.

    Did you look at all? I found this with one Google search: http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic =617

    Use Delicious and get the Foxylicious extension for Firefox. Problem solved.

  15. Re:It's also the HTML on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Oh I agree. Slashdot HTML is awful. I've never blamed a browser for interpreting this mess incorrectly.

    As for XHTML though, it's a little more than just a stricter HTML. For Mozilla at least, XHTML is sent down a completely different parser than regular HTML. This parser is a lot stricter, and as per the spec, with halt parsing as soon as it encounters an error. IE, when served XHTML as HTML, sends the file down its regular HTML parser which sees the XML syntax as HTML tag-soup. When served XHTML as application/xhtml+xml the way it should be, IE will prompt the user to download the file (unless they've edited their registry).

    HTML can be just as clean and semantic as XHTML, and if you want to support IE, you should use it instead of XHTML.

  16. Re:build in page validator. on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Html Validator (with Tidy) is a Firefox extension that allows you to view validation errors in the view-source window.

  17. Re:It's also the HTML on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Wrong. IE doesn't even recognise the XHTML MIME type, and will prompt users to download the file.

    You can however achieve the same level of benefits by using clean HTML + CSS.

  18. Re:Does this really let up the load? on Penny Arcade Holiday Strip Series #2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Probably not. Penny-Arcade would be better of coding their site properly. They could cut their bandwidth in half. Then there's the number of requests they make to the database. Yeesh.
