  1. Re:Limited application on New 25x Data Compression? · · Score: 1

    You made my day. Burning slashdot AND the current story at once.

  2. mozilla.org ignored for cache link insert? on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    I'm using it right now and this story is the only one whose link is not paired with a set of cache links. Odd.

  3. Re:finally get to a thread early enough to moderat on Q & A With Canada's Michael Geist · · Score: 1

    Then voice it.

  4. Re:Is Slashdot turning into Kuro5hin? on Continuous Partial Attention · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is cmdrtaco's blog. Just thought you might have forgotten that.

  5. Re:I knew I was a strange kid... on Will Wright's Dream Machines · · Score: 1

    The wrong thing happening is something going wrong. Of course I read manpages.

  6. use as a cpu? on ATI's 1GB Video Card · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why doesn't ATi (or nVidia for that matter) make CPUs?

    They obviously could make some very powerful chips.

  7. Re:I knew I was a strange kid... on Will Wright's Dream Machines · · Score: 1

    Hell no. I don't read the manual until something goes wrong or what I'm using is incredibly expensive and likely to break if I use it wrong.

  8. Re:Less than originally expected on Judge May Force Google to Submit to Feds · · Score: 1

    I couldn't have said that better. This is exactly how I feel about politics right now and I wish more people realized what you and I (and based on the number of replies, quite a few others) do.

    Now time to go way out on a (semi serious and semi humorous) limb:
    Do you really think everyone who voted for Hitler realized what kind of man he was at the time?

  9. Re:ATTENTION EVERYONE on Supercomputer Performs Simulation of Virus · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sorry, but I don't see how this is insightful. Anyone...?

  10. Re:This sounds familiar... on NBC To Live Stream Olympics Event · · Score: 1

    I personally think that the submitter of the previous story actually pulled that number out of his nether regions. I'm sure Akamai is quite capable of handling pretty much anything you throw at it.

  11. This sounds familiar... on NBC To Live Stream Olympics Event · · Score: 1

    Didn't the previous story go over this? Something about Akamai being unable to handle too much load?

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/25/211521 8

    Yeah, I know that Cringley didn't actually mention Akamai.

  12. By volume? on The World Oceans Now 70% Shark Free · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this mean that the ocean is 30% sharks by volume? I AM NEVER SWIMMING AGAIN!

  13. Re:Brought to you by... on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1

    You laugh, but my university really did.

    OK, not really really. It was a prank by a secret society.

  14. Re:I thought the States had cheap broadband? on We Don't Need No Stinkin' Broadband · · Score: 1

    What are those per month things? Hold on, what? Bandwidth limits? What are those?

    Signed,
    United States Internet Users

    That might explain why you have it so cheap.

  15. Re:shaking in my boots on Grokster Launches Fear Campaign · · Score: 1

    Oh, we all do. We all do. So badly.

  16. May I be the first to say... on The Cosmic Year in Review · · Score: 0, Troll

    I, for one, welcome our new NASA overlords.

  17. Office Space on Does Having Fun Make IT More Enjoyable? · · Score: 1

    This fun-from-above standpoint is akin to "expressing yourself" by wearing your 35 pieces of flair.

    Fun that is fun because it's fun is fun. Fun that is fun because the boss says so is not.

  18. Re:wow on Britain to log all vehicle movement · · Score: 1

    That's what I want to know. This isn't the least bit funny.

    *puts on tinfoil hat*

    But really...

  19. Re:Too Similar on Digital Universe a Wikipedia Alternative · · Score: 1

    Absolutely nothing. This will die, just like Nupedia did.

  20. Re:Gmail Corporate on 3 Email Chiefs Come to Dinner · · Score: 1

    Not until it has a calendar and schedules it won't. That's the killer feature that makes exchange so popular among large organizations. I wouldn't be surprised if they did add these features and release it - ala google search appliance.

  21. Re:Gmail skins on 3 Email Chiefs Come to Dinner · · Score: 1

    That looks pretty cool. Keep up the good work and submit it to mozilla for inclusion on their page once you've finished it!

  22. Re:Firefly :: BSD? on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 1

    No, that isn't his sig. Look for the double-hyphen.

  23. Re:Will the EU country codes be moved into it? on .eu Opens for Registration · · Score: 1

    But I thought Europe was all about having control of DNS for themselves. Oh wait... they don't mind control so long as it's European control. The obvious answer is that Hitler has been cloned and is using mind control rays to make Europe do his will. Thank god for good old American-made tin foil hats.

    WHY DO THEY HATE AMERICA?

  24. Re:Pssssh. on Merriam-Webster Launches Open Dictionary · · Score: 1

    Damn, you beat me to it.

  25. Re:Sure, blame someone else - typical zealots on Stopping Linux Desktop Adoption Sabotage · · Score: 1

    Yes, I suppose you could say that. The main problem is the fragmented effort to package software - no single repository has it all.
