  3. Re:Needs less content per page.. on An Inside-Out Look At the Antec Skeleton Case · · Score: 1

    don't worry. people that post most of their content in pictures don't go to sites with words on the page.

  4. Re:I did it first! on An Inside-Out Look At the Antec Skeleton Case · · Score: 1

    Damn, I can't find my pics! I hung everything from a hanger in my closet because that is where the phone lines came in at an apartment I used to live in. I guess a closet could be considered a case though.

  5. lowest form of joke on Buckypaper — Out of the Lab, Into the Market · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nobody reads /. for the news. Most posts are at least two weeks old or repeats. :-D

  6. Re:What else is new? on Bugs Delay Release of Debian Lenny · · Score: 1

    And then cleaning up the security breaches until SP2 is released.

  7. The guys before and after pics on Algorithms Can Make You Pretty · · Score: 1

    I think the only difference in the guys before and after pics are how close his eyes are together. They got closer. That has always been a drawback for me. Every cop that notices how close together mine are pulls me over and gives me tickets.

    Idiocracy the movie! That is exactly what came to my mind. I love that movie. It is the most accurate view of the future of any movie. Ever!

    Oh man! You beat everyone to it. Well, here is a link anyway.

  11. magnification on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The patent is specific enough to not be abusive. IMHO including specifics like User Bar and Magnification separate the patent enough to avoid interfering with other products.

    To permit a greater number of items to reside in the userbar, a magnification function can be provided which magnifies items within the userbar when they are proximate the cursor associated with the graphical user interface.

    I still don't see why a decorative aspect of an interface is patentable but...

    Because it is easier for them to spell.

  13. Re:premise to shutdown on New Approach To Malware Modifies Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    In the news today

    Thousands of System Administrator machines abruptly stopped working when emails with girl's names in them went to women that did not charge by the hour.

    Film will be available when the System Administrator is able to access the streaming media server again.

  14. Re:But... on Microsoft and Nokia Adopt OSS JQuery Framework · · Score: 1

    Submitting a patch and that patch being useful to anyone using a non-windows platform are two different things.

  15. zonedit on Best DNS Service With API Access? · · Score: 1

    I've become a fan of zonedit. Normally I roll my own but, well, I'm f-n-lazy.

  16. Sounds reasonable. on Has Google Redefined Beta? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Google/FOSS people say "stuff that works good enough to release to the public but isn't finished" is beta.

    Microsoft/Proprietary developers say "stuff that works good enough to release to the public but isn't finished" is for sale.

    Whats in a name?

  18. national test scores on Is Open Source Different In Europe Than In the US? · · Score: 1

    If you believe the U.S. national test scores, the reason might simply be because people in Europe can read.

  19. Re:lite on Why Mozilla Is Committed To Using Gecko · · Score: 1

    No. I'm pretty sure Firefox uses one gecko process per browser instance. A Firefox window is a XUL window. A tab is a XUL tab element...

  20. Re:5-nines SLA on The London Stock Exchange Goes Down For Whole Day · · Score: 1

    So it doesn't mean the network will be up 9 times from 9am to 9pm at least 9 times this year?
