  1. Re:I doubt... on Digital Clock as Thin as Paper · · Score: 1

    OHES FUKKING KNOES!

    Seriously, a watch that flucuates around a minute a day isn't much. During the afternoon that means you'll by off by a couple of seconds.

    Jesus Christ a minute off is hardly much for normal people. For people who MUST have the EXACT, CORRECT time, or expect overly high quality in things, I suppose it's normal.

  2. Re:Also on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign · · Score: 1

    I don't get why people think cookies are EVIL OMG MUST DIE. The worst a cookie can do is remember information. Who cares if they "track" you. That doesn't allow them to send you spam or viruses. The most it can do is remember a few (not all) websites you've been to. That's not evil.

  3. Wow on Total Conversion HL2 Mod · · Score: 1

    Wow.

    I've forgotten how good some coders can be after seeing so much crap.

    This is of high enough quality that it could be a commercial game. Thanks [insert god here] that it's free.

  4. Re:I always used to get "its" and "it's" wrong on All Your Base Are Turned Five · · Score: 1

    That was strange because I was just looking up info about apostrophes yesterday. I was having trouble with possessives that end if s or z. Like if a person named Jones had a house. Is it Jones' or Jones's. It gets even harder when it's plural. Like if the family was named Jones. Would it be Jones's, Jones', or something else? What about Z's? (Yes you use the apostrophe for single letters like that)

  5. No on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    I've always hated these theories that say time is one line, and everything must fit into everything without paradoxes. Things don't have to make sense. Anyway, I don't think that things work like TFA suggests. In my opinion, time travel is impossible. To me time is nothing. You can't change anything about time. However, I believe that there are infinite universes, with infinite variations, and to achieve time travel, you would travel to a similar universe that was at a different period in time. It would have the same effect as traveling in time, but interfering with things like killing your grandfather would not affect you.

    Unfortunately my brain isn't working quite right today, so forgive me if that sounds stupid or doesn't make sense. I have explained my theory much more clearly in the past (no pun intended).

  6. Re:They SHOULD get into trouble... on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite sure but from RTFA, I think it says the the adware modifies the incoming files. They aren't spreading fake files with adware in them.

  7. Re:Unnecessary my ass on PC Makers See Little Reason to Deploy XP N · · Score: 1

    The point is that you shouldn't have to pay for things you don't want or need, just because they decided to bundle it.

  8. Re:The gist of Linus's reply on Comparing Linux and BSD, Diplomatically · · Score: 1

    It's another case of the right tool for the right job. For example, if you're attempting to make apple juice, obviously oranges will not suit the job. If you're trying to convert a video to UMD format, it's highly likely that neither will accomplish the task.

  9. Re:Forgot this one. on Jeff Bezos's Space Company Reveals Some Secrets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wish I had mod points. XD

  10. Re:What I'd like to see.... on Looking for Answers in the Age of Search · · Score: 2, Informative

    Experts-Exchange has solutions when you scroll down. I've never had to sign up for anything there.

  11. Re:So much for objectivity... on Performance of OpenOffice.org and MS Office · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A better analogy would be dealership A gave me a Ferrari, but I bought a VW Bug truck at dealership B. Since I paid for the VW Bug it must be better, since giving away things for free implies that it has no value.

    An uncle giving you something means it's a gift, not a sale.

    Also, if you had the impression that there was no difference between the two products, it would change that too. OpenOffice.org would appear to be the same as Word, but because OO.o is free, it MUST be worse...

  12. Re:good PC UI not alwasy == good game UI on Halo 2 World Tourney Finals - Aussie Champ's View · · Score: 1

    I type very well (up to 100 WPM with no errors), and I have never used the home row position. My hands are usally around a, w, r, g, space, and k, semicolon, apostrophe, and shift. Not that my hands are always on those keys, which they hardly are.

  13. Re:Am I weird? on Halo 2 World Tourney Finals - Aussie Champ's View · · Score: 1

    How do you turn around? With that, you're limited to facing one direction. o_0

  14. Red Faction on New NASA Admin Griffin Cleans House · · Score: 1

    Red Faction is the first thing I thought of when I read the title...

  15. But... on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1

    This is all fine and dandy, but how would you search for code, like the source code for a program?

  16. FF 1.0.4 on Spoofing Flaw Resurfaces in Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    I'm using Firefox 1.0.4 and it's apparently not vulnerable because the test didn't do anything...

  17. Re:Why use fedora? on Redhat Spins Off Fedora Project · · Score: 1

    Best. Pun. Evar.

  18. Re:Or not... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    I agree. They need to get rid of spaces so you don't have to put quotes around or or type the spaces like that. Capital letters too. But then it's "unfriendly."

  19. Re:erm on Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'nexis Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Jesus it seems like a lot of people have wrist problems while typing. I can type over 80 wpm for half an hour or more without getting even minor pains. It must be the way I have my arms and the desk positioned... I've never had problems typing.

  20. Thermal Depolymerization on Filling Up On Algae · · Score: 1
  21. Re:counterpoint cabal on Scientific Research That Could Have Been Avoided · · Score: 2, Funny

    Owned.

  22. Re:Lynx is safe on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    This is the only funny Matrix quote I have ever seen. Congratulations on being geeky and funny at the same time!

  23. Sarcasm on Researchers Pinpoint Brain's Sarcasm Sensor · · Score: 1

    Finding the sarcasm detector, yeah that's REAL helpful.

  24. Re:Its about time! on Kevin Rose Leaving G4 to start Internet Only Show · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's sad that people pay attention to other's personal lives, people they don't even know. And especially them.

  25. Re:A fitting discovery for Einstein's year on Near-Perfect Einstein Ring Discovered · · Score: 1

    I sometimes wonder if everybody who visits Slashdot is a geek. There are two comments here about a LOTR characters and his missing ring.
