  1. Oh no on Rumsfeld Requests 24-hour Propaganda Machine · · Score: 1

    So Slashdot is not only anti-MS, but they're anti-Bush/Iraq War?

  2. Re:Just Pick One and Learn it Well on Learning Java or C# as a Next Language? · · Score: 1

    The trolling for this story is pretty bad even by Slashdot standards. Express editions are free for whatever the heck you want to do with them. You could write the next killer app that runs Microsoft out of business and makes you rich enough to personally pay off the national debt. This is perfectly OK. Projects in Express editions are *COMPLETELY* compatable with the other versions of Visual Studio. Sure you don't get some of the diagram editors, but you can certainly work on the same code base as others using the paid versions.

  3. At least in C the rule is on How to Write Comments · · Score: 2, Funny

    "If it was hard to write it should be hard to read."

  4. Re:Large areas required on Floating Wind Turbine Platform · · Score: 1

    In case you haven't noticed, most of the Earth is covered in water.

  5. The Apple Curse on AMD Tops Intel in U.S. Retail Sales · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Apple has doomed Intel, anything they're involved in (except for music) is destined for 5% marketshare.

  6. It's a tripod on Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge · · Score: 1

    If the lightning starts I'm headed for the mountains.

  7. Re:I must be old. on TI Calculators Play Movies · · Score: 1

    Maple > *

  8. Re:This is a good thing on Europe to Join Russia Building Next Space Shuttle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's called pride and it's certainly not limited to the United States. The difference is that the US is the only country in a position to really make decisions based on it.

  9. Re:Okay? on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    You can dd the vmware hard disk image over a real hard drive and run it natively. It runs really fast and supports a suprisingly large amount of hardware.

  10. No question on Atom 1.0 vs RSS 2.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since Microsoft is throwing their weight behind RSS, it's pretty obvious it will be the winner.

  11. Re:Again with the shuttle? on Falling Window Cover Damages Discovery · · Score: 1

    You're not going uphill tomorrow, the crew is. They know a heck of a lot more than you about what's going on and they made the decision to go for it, so let progress be made instead of arm-chair administering NASA.

  12. Re:Shouldn't have stolen that code... on Software Glitches Stall Toyota Prius · · Score: 1

    Then your ex needs some exercise because brakes are *MUCH* more powerful than the engine and can stop the car even with the engine floored.

  13. Re:Have they got some funky version? on Microsoft Migrates Internal Servers to 64-bit · · Score: 1

    It's more likely that you have no idea what you're talking about.

  14. Re:Survive? on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 1

    But our chances ARE better if we combine living here and living elsewhere.

  15. Re:What Bad Things? on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why store data at multiple locations? Disks can be destroyed in a fire at all locations after all. It's called redundancy, and it works with living beings too. If humans are on multiple planets the race will survive one being destroyed.

  16. Re:Nice on Ready or Not, Here Comes Service Pack 2 · · Score: 1

    Read up on the Background Intelligent Transfer Service please. WU will not download in a way which saturates your connection while other applications are using the bandwidth.

  17. Wait a minute on Senator Calls on NASA to Service Hubble · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wasn't there a Slashdot story a while back saying that we could send up a NEW space telescope for less? What's the sense in fixing Hubble if we can get a better, brand new, space telescope for less money.
