  1. Re:No surprise on The More Popular the Browser, the Slower It Is · · Score: 1

    Matching every link and reference on a page against a 31 KB file of over 2000 strings? No thank you. My AdBlock list was about 20 lines long, but now NoScript pretty much solves everything.

    By the way, .*ad.* will match over half of that list (assuming regexes are valid). Then just whitelist words with ad that you don't want blocked, like admonition, barricade, etc., which you could also probably do in one line of regex.

  2. Re:Take your pick on How To Store Internal Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Should of opted for the 8-track Ãfz

    Should've opted for the UTF-8 Slashdot.

    By the way—not that you'll read this—it's should have or should've, not should of.

  3. Re:RIP on Yahoo Pulls the Plug On GeoCities · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You jest, but I honestly felt nauseous after seeing that.

  4. Re:Expensive running shoes = fashion wear on Do We Need Running Shoes To Run? · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure if I can take advice about shoes from somebody who spells it shoos.

    Anyway, the article is about shoes increasing injury rates, not about whether shoes make you run faster or whether it's easier to run on grass with certain shoes. The fact is that it's easier on the feet, ankles, legs, and back to run barefoot.

  5. Re:Peak Oil on Energy Secretary Chu Endorses "Clean Coal" · · Score: 1

    What is this C02 you both are talking about? Dicarbon with an extra zero to spice it up? And what the hell is H20? Icosahydrogen, a molecule made solely of 20 hydrogen atoms?

  6. Re:Well, hm... on NASA Names Space Station Treadmill After Colbert · · Score: 1

    Who the hell is Bill Marr? You mean Bill Maher?

  7. Re:I WANT TO BELIEVE on Project OXCART Declassified From Area 51 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is that the Area 42 over in Base 13?

  8. Re:concerns alleviated... on Google Open Sources Updater · · Score: 1

    Being from the city in Nebraska, I have to wonder what Omaha has to do with anything. It doesn't seem very evil here. Or is it some Normandy reference?

  9. Re:To hire or to jail, that is the question on Twitter Gets Slammed By the StalkDaily XSS Worm · · Score: 1

    No, but essentially every television news station, talk show host, and even fucking sports sideline announcer is forcing me to hear about their new Twitter page and listen to them go on to ask "What is Twitter anyway?" while their colleagues joke that they don't know either.

  10. Re:author found. Now what? on Twitter Gets Slammed By the StalkDaily XSS Worm · · Score: 1

    The beer is free

    Free as in speech, or free as in... beer?

  11. Re:Click to unpause... on In Defense of the Anonymous Commenter · · Score: 1

    They recently migrated some JavaScript over to fsdn.com, so you'll have to allow that too. I have NoScript and I was wondering for a while why certain things on Slashdot stopped working even though I had allowed them before.

  12. Re:The value of First Post on In Defense of the Anonymous Commenter · · Score: 1

    There's always great stuff later, but nobody replies to it so I find that it's usually missing the discussion aspect that makes the higher posts a bit better. And there's a feeling that nobody else read or will read it anyway, so it's somewhat useless to reply.

  13. Re:Website and Warning on Use apt-p2p To Improve Ubuntu 9.04 Upgrade · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In any case, even if somebody could produce a file that matched the checksum, you would have to download the entire file from that one source, as any discrepancies in the data would produce an incorrect checksum. Typically with p2p (though I'm not sure of apt-p2p's particular method), you are downloading from multiple sources, and it's unlikely that they would all have that file unless they themselves were downloading it only from that one source.

  14. Re:The Michael Scott Paper Company on Paper Companies' Windfall of Unintended Consequences · · Score: 1

    So are we getting a new Roland or something?

    Jamie found a post on ScienceBlogs [...]

    And the entire post on ScienceBlogs consists of a two-sentence summary, seven paragraphs from the original source in blockquotes, and an irrelevant, one-sentence "opinion" to finish it off.

    Just link to the damn article itself.

  15. Re:lawmakers on Paper Companies' Windfall of Unintended Consequences · · Score: 1

    How about "the Los Angeles Angels"?

    Or "the La Brea tar pits"?

  16. Re:MMM FOSS on Hungary, Tatarstan Latest To Go FOSS · · Score: 1

    Self-reply:
    No, it's not.

  17. Re:MMM FOSS on Hungary, Tatarstan Latest To Go FOSS · · Score: 1

    I've honestly never seen this before, and it's one of the few trolls on here that I've actually laughed at. Nice work if it's original.

  18. Re:Calibrate Per Use? on Voting Machines and 'Calibration Drift' · · Score: 1

    And I typed a capital H apparently.

    THat was funny yet sad to watch because it's so pathetic.

  20. Re:a new low for /. on Voting Machines and 'Calibration Drift' · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why would I work 14 hours for just a C-note? I'd want at least a major third on top of that.

  21. Re:How about DRM? on GameStop Selling Games Played By Employees As New · · Score: 1

    This seems to work. If not, try this. As a last resort, here is a torrent of all the games, which may or may not be NTSC, with currently one seeder.

    I'm just assuming that you already own the disc legally, but it's lost or scratched like the GP's.

  22. Re:Someone, please... on MP3 of RIAA Argument Available Online · · Score: 1

    What, the 90s? Yeah, I wish it hadn't.

  24. Re:How about DRM? on GameStop Selling Games Played By Employees As New · · Score: 1

    I would be angry about that too. Here. That game was awesome, but so difficult.

  25. Re:Should have been done differently from the star on New ICANN TLDs May Cause Internet Land Rush · · Score: 1

    I sort of do the same thing in that I have here as a hostname for 127.0.0.1 (no domain).

    And technically FQDNs should have a trailing dot, but I suppose that is a valid point.
