  1. So much for this on Novell's Releases Linux Usability Testing Videos · · Score: 5, Insightful

    89% sounds like a very good success ratio for the date and time test. However, RTFA and you'll see that only eleven people participated, most of them female.

    If you don't have a diverse testing population, you aren't going to produce meaningful results. The idea is fine and all, but the results are mostly useless.

  2. Re:Looks alot like Outlook Express! on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 3, Funny

    It acts a lot like Outlook too! Now you can get email viruses from webmail!

  3. charactistics... on Dissecting Songs Down to Their 'Musical Genome' · · Score: 1

    ...like "sounds like a kid banging on pots in the kitchen".

  4. Re:Ive scene this. on Cassini Returns Photos of Hyperion · · Score: 1

    A black surface?

  5. OMG on Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Right.

  6. Re:10 days? on Windows User Experiments With Linux for 10 Days · · Score: 1

    Yeah, ndiswrapper made it work. Still, there's a reason they call it Project Evil.

  7. Re:10 days? on Windows User Experiments With Linux for 10 Days · · Score: 1

    Here's the problem: Windows has an iron grip on the hardware industry. Thanks to that, my laptop here has a number of "non-standard" features that inhibit the use of my system by linux. I absolutely love using linux, but as my laptop was a gift, I couldn't really return it and find a laptop that actually has a wireless card with linux drivers, or some other such fix.

  8. Scott Adams should sue... on Spurned O'Reilly 'Foo' Camp Attendees Create 'Bar' · · Score: 1

    ...the Bozo filter was his idea first!

  9. Re:warp speed on Scientists Speed up Light · · Score: 1

    Infinite improbability drive, silly. Now, disappear in a puff of logic, please.

  10. Re:The best thing about municipal wifi on Free WiFi Trend Continues · · Score: 1

    However, on the flip side, you're going to have quite a few windows users connected who have no firewall and NetBIOS enabled...not that brillant of an idea.

  11. Re:BlizzCon on World of Warcraft Card Game Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Another souvenir item you'll find in your special BlizzCon goody bag is a full deck of BlizzCon playing cards, encased in a uniquely decorated box and decked out with Blizzard artwork from the Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft series.

    Will this include "artwork" created by players for Starcraft in the Sexy Pics maps?

  12. Re:Hey on Panel Challenges NASA Over Shuttle Safety · · Score: 3, Interesting

    NASA isn't a magic organization. They can't turn turds into space shuttles in a week. There's really no news here, we knew that NASA was underfunded and overpressured to get this done.

  13. Re:Big deal on New, Faster Attack against SHA-1 Revealed · · Score: 0

    Mod parent up. That was great.

  14. Re:MOD PARENT WRONG on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    I love you.

  15. Re:Anime subculture on The Business of Anime · · Score: 1

    It would improve the acting quality, to say the least.

  16. Re:The sky is falling! on Apple Switching To Intel Chips In 2006 · · Score: 1

    Yes, you are alone.

  17. Re:If they bring this back.. on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 1

  18. Re:The inevitable question on Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms · · Score: 1

    "hardware designed to run that software"
    Well, I guess Linux doesn't work on my system, since it was designed for windows. My OS is dying from your ghastly logic! The screams!

  19. Re:insensitive clods! on From Bash To Z Shell · · Score: 0

    Rank the parent up, geez. TIs forever, baby!

  20. Re:Reputation of GNU/Linux Advocates on Yankee Group Slams Linux 'Extremists' · · Score: 1

    So, if there are no "real" developers, who is making the software, I wonder? Developers aren't going to sit at home making software for the corporations that downsized them.

  21. And Google will just do nothing. on GPL 3.0 to Penalize Google, Amazon? · · Score: 1

    Nah, planning appears to only be in the preliminary stages at this point. I don't think companies will stand by and let the GPL screw them over. I'll wait until they release something concrete about the new GPL.
    Not that it'll stop slashdot's trolls and flamebaiters from making snide remarks.

  22. Re:How much though? on Is Obtaining a Windows Refund Still Difficult? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Consumer laptops? No. At least to my knowledge, Dell only supports corporate *nix.
    "Dell does not officially support running Linux on Dell laptops."
    Here.

  23. Re:Where is the Great Publishing House of Ursa Min on Wikipedia Planning a DVD Version · · Score: 3, Funny

    And instead of a "DONT PANIC" sticker, they'll put on a "DONT EDIT" one.
