  1. Re:Slashdot doesn't care on Google Releases Maps API for External Use · · Score: 1

    " Slashdot has *long* since stopped caring about quality. It's all about pageviews and clickthroughs" That may be true, but CT did post an apology. I think you're being a little too harsh.

  2. Re:Yes it is like World Wind on Google Earth Launching For Free · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's a bit extreme. From the keyhole site: Apple Macintosh computers are not supported at this time (but we are working on it). You can at least give them credit for that...

  3. Re:One way to cut costs on Designing an OS for Blind/Deaf Users? · · Score: 1

    I can see the headlines... "Eye Transplant company boosts laptop battery life by 200%!"

  4. Re:wouldn't it be nice... on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? weather.com works fine in Firefox. I've heard a lot of talk about sites still not being compatible with Firefox, but I don't really buy it. 99% of the sites I visit are compatible. And if they aren't, they're either switching or having to handle lots of complaint calls from users.

    Yeah, the Simpsons is awesome but the last few seasons get a big "meh" from me.

  6. Re:Better late than .... on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not surprising to me. With my little experience with Linux (I've been using it for about 3 years now) the command line is WAY better than anything Windows has had. The CLI for Windows 98 was terrible. Windows 2000/XP's CLI is a little bit better because they've copied some BASH features, it seems like (like pressing the up or down keys to bring back previously entered commands). However, even the Win2k/XP CLI still has nothing on BASH. The syntax and environment is still crap.
