  1. Can't right click on toolbars on Open Office 2.0 Beta Candidate Released · · Score: 0

    To my dismay, when I right click on a toolbar, expecting to see a menu pop up letting me choose which toolbars to use, it does nothing. At least add back the old right click menu.

  2. Re:A square inch! on Nano-Scale Memory Fits A Terabit On A Square Inch · · Score: 0

    It would get broken very easily. And you'd have a hard time picking it up. And my brain doesn't like thinking about 2D objects in a 3D world.

  3. Re:Next Slashdot story... on Microsoft AntiSpyware thinks Firefox is Spyware · · Score: 0

    Props to 68.39.226.175 :-)

  4. Too bad I don't have an iriver on Gameboy Emulation on your MP3 Player · · Score: 0

    Even with horrible controls, it would be fun playing Mario or Punchout on a portable music player.

  5. Re:Here's an idea on Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax? · · Score: 0

    Sound like a good idea. To do to sharepro (the author of the article) that is. Not sure who you mean.

  6. Re:How does Google do it? on German Search Engines Self-Regulating · · Score: 0

    But when I go to google.co.uk, it doesn't redirect me to google.com BTW, going to the UK site is useful because netnanny blocks images.google.com, not images.google.co.uk or any other national ones.

  7. Re:I, for one,... on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure the Bible isn't totally specific about life on other planets. But yeah, it does seem to strongly suggest there isn't. Also, micro-organisms and beings like humans are two different things. Personally, I don't really see what purpose projects like SETI have. If we get broadcasts, how would we understand them? And if we did understand them, what could we do about it? Distances are too long.

  8. Re:$257,000.00 on 100,000 Domains Sold for $164 Million · · Score: 0

    Yeah. Also, it's just convenient to go there, and copy/paste your ip where you need it. NATed or unNATed.

  9. Re:Try my ISP on Always-On Internet For Cheapskates? · · Score: 0

  10. Re:(Temporarily) turning people into savants on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 0

    "But could anyone really guess, in advance, how their lives might be affected by instant creativity, instant intelligence, instant happiness? Or by their disappearance, just as instantly, once the TMS is switched off? " Instant happiness? How could this bring instant happineess?

  11. Re:It's not intelligence in any conventional sense on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 0

    I hate "showing my work" also. For a lot of that though, I do steps in my head, but I don't feel like writing them down.

  12. Re:can't stereoview on Stereoscopic images of Titan's surface constructed · · Score: 0

    I don't know if I can see stereoviews, as my eyes at least were misaligned for more than 16 years. I got some surgery to make them straighter, don't know if it worked. Must have a bit.

  13. Re:Unbundling can be a BAD thing on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 0

    People like things working out of the box. The biggest incentive for people to download new media players is when it's required to view certain things, which can be quite a bit.

  14. Re:bah only MP3s on Norway Considers New Copyright Laws · · Score: 0

    Read the article. It's not just MP3s, although the article mentions not being able to copy cds to mp3 players. Later in the article, it says "The amendment, which requires parliament's approval, would make it illegal to crack security codes on DVD and CDs or to provide software or hardware for doing so, a news release said." Like the DMCA.

  15. Re:Buffer overflow errors/vulnerabilities on Image Causes Exploitable Overflow in Microsoft Products · · Score: 0

    Buffer overflows were/are still all over the xbox also.

  16. Re:There Is No Escape on Students and Bodies Tracked Via RFID Tags · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow, thanks. Not.

  17. My friend probably has this problem on Smart People Choke Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    He's smart, but doesn't do as well on standardized tests. BTW, what does saying I got a 29 on the ACT make you think? I don't really put too much pressure on myself about those tests. I hear some people study for the ACT and the like. I don't see how you could. Or at least how I could. But maybe the people who do well on the standardized tests are smart and just don't take them as seriously?

  18. Makes sense on Google Fires Blogger? · · Score: 1

    If he abused his authority, he should be fired.

  19. Re:No, *I* am Spartacus! on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    What about hitting it with my windows xp lynx?

  20. I remember a PC dying on Most Common Ways to Kill a PC · · Score: 1

    People say it was me. I remember it being someone else. Well, anyway, it was an old windows 3.1 gateway computer back in middle school. It was really fun, we played gorilla (the qbasic game) and epic pinball. While we were playing epic pinball, someone pressed shift, and the monitor just started smoking. I can't remember if the image went off right way or not. Kind of weird though, and sucky, since we didn't have a computer in there anymore. Not that catastrophic I suppose.

  21. Re:XP on Windows Longhorn Beta for June Release · · Score: 1

    Same here.

  22. Re:glad i never used kazaa on Court Docs Reveal Kazaa Logging User Downloads · · Score: 1

    If you define majority as the group of people who have the most power (I think that's stupid, but apparently a lot of stuff follows this definition), then the big corporations sure wouldn't be minorities.

  23. Re:Bill buys Apple? on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 1

    RC Cola? That's server no where around here. Just Dr. Pepper. I've always loved Dr. Pepper, but I think now I might like Pibb Xtra even better. But you can't buy that here, only in restaurants like Fizolli's and Stake 'N Shake.

  24. Re:W95 geekishness on Gecko-based K-Meleon 0.9 browser Released · · Score: 1

    I used kmeleon on my windows 95 computer. It was a 75 mhz with 40 MB of ram, so it still took a long time to browse.

  25. Re:The dangerous thing is on ESPN And Electronic Arts Sign 15-Year Deal · · Score: 1

    I remember the Nintendo 64. Nintendo sold all their games for $60 a game. They've actually gone down this generation because others are charging no more than $50
