  1. Re:Have we really solved or saved anything? on White House Gets Green by Putting Federal Budget Online · · Score: 1

    Well seeing as it is a 3000 page document, I imagine that would be a deterrent for most people thinking of printing it.

  2. Re:I'd trust a Ukrainian product review show ... on The LCD Panel vs. The Crossbow · · Score: 1

    So I guess you're saying you have a lot of faith in this review

  3. Re:Why? on Afterlife Will Be Costly For Digital Films · · Score: 1

    I've delt with film that's several years old and it's in just as good condition as the new stuff, even just stuck in a cupboard with no environmental or humidity controls. Add those and I imagine modern film could last far longer than the digital medium.

  4. Re:I am in a Outage RIGHT NOW with NO Cell Service on FCC Requires Backup Power For 210K Cell Towers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're in a power outage posting to slashdot? Do you have a backup satalite link and generator just in case you lose internet for a few hours?

  5. Re:And magnetic strips on credit and... on Germany To Build New Maglev Railway · · Score: 2, Informative

    You shouldn't have to worry about your credit card getting wiped unless you're riding under the tracks where the high powered magnets are, and if you're down there, you probably have bigger problems than having to get a new credit card

  6. Re:For what it's worth.... on New Version of Gmail Being Tested · · Score: 1

    I know when I was visiting Europe, all the images changed to say "Google Mail" and then when I returned to the states they all went back to GMail. I don't see any change in their branding for users in the US.

  7. Re:I'm fed up with the anti-Opera crap here... on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You should try the Opera developer tools built into the console (under tools>advanced). Combined with the ability to modify source on a loaded webpage (right click>hit view source and edit what you want) makes Opera very nice to work on for web development.

  8. Re:FDA Approval?! on Imaging Breakthrough "Sees" Lung Disease · · Score: 1

    Hey just to use higher power lasers at a rock concert you need to get a variance from the FDA so a machine that diagnoses health seems like it's much more in their area.

    They've basicall expanded to becoming the regulators of products that can affect peoples' health

  9. Re:Meanwhile, in the real world on Senators Call for Universal Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    Or it could be that you just don't watch the channels that the toy and game ads are targetted at these days.

  10. Re:You forget... on Dangerous Java Flaw Threatens 'Virtually Everything' · · Score: 1

    I used that quote from the license a few years ago when my professor was insisting that we might need to write code for a nuclear facility some day so we should make our code fool proof. Showed her!

  11. Re:Odd purchasing habits... on Fewer People Copy DVDs Than Once Thought · · Score: 1

    You're telling me that Best Buy sells spindles of 53 1/3 disks now?

    Sounds like a scam to me... you can never get those 1/3s of disks together without a LOT of duck tape.

  12. Re:IBRICK. on AT&T Vs. Apple Store At the iPhone Launch · · Score: 1

    Depite all the cool Apple technology in them, you do still have to charge the iPhone now and then if you want it to keep working.

  13. Re:Don't use it if you don't like it! on Privacy Group Gives Google Lowest Possible Grade · · Score: 1

    Well for a couple years now Opera hasn't been ad supported so there are no longer google ads that read every page.

  14. Re:Lets compare a typewriter to a word processor. on Pitting a Mac Plus Against an AMD Dual Core · · Score: 1

    Try recording your keystrokes some time and see how many times you hit backspace. I don't think your typewriter can do that.

  15. Re:the acid test on Apple Hides Account Info in DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    If you burned them to a CD then they would no longer be the metadata included so you wouldn't have a problem. Same deal as the DRM versions.

  16. Theme Park on Creationism Museum Opening in Kentucky · · Score: 1

    So it's sort of like Disneyland with a Old Testament theme going on?

  17. Re:MacBook Pro Light Sensor. on What's the Worst Technical Feature You've Used? · · Score: 1

    You should try using it during a rock show or some other event where the lights flash. It's especially exciting because there's a slight delay for changing brighness so you usually end up with the screen bright right after the light flashes and then dark right after it comes on again

  18. Re:Activity time! on AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release · · Score: 2, Informative

    with 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 numbers and we'll say 8 Bytes per number, that would be a 128 Exabyte file - not the most reasonable file to host all over the place

  19. Re:Welcome the warmth on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    You must be loving the weather of the last week then!

  20. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 1

    Alternatively you could just open up the policy editor and go to the windows components area for updates and then disable reminders or just have them be a few hours apart instead of a few minutes.

  21. Re:What about opera users? on Google Docs to support Powerpoint · · Score: 1

    Well that's a step up from google docs which gives a message for the parameter to skip the browser test: "Please note that it is a violation of intergalactic law to use this parameter under false pretenses, so don't let us catch you at it."

  22. Dr. Who on The Physics of Santa · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Obviously Santa uses time lord technology to fly his sleigh around and store all the presents inside it. It's bigger on the inside than the outside.

  23. Re:Better late than never on Man's Vote for Himself Missing In E-Vote Count · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well I imagine that would be partially because of the Diebold voting machines since that brings the total to %110.

  24. Re:Hrmmm on How Practical are 20-inch Laptops? · · Score: 1

    "Oh that's a nice computer too"

  25. Re:Great feature realy. on Opera to Start Phoning Home? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Another thing mentioned in the blog posting is this: --- The requests go over HTTP, but the replies will be signed by the server to make sure they are genuine. We prefer to send information between the browser and ourselves in plain text, so our users can inspect the data we send "home". --- So it's not like they're sending everything back to opera without telling you what it is.
