  7. wtf? on Searching by Image Instead of Keywords · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I don't understand how this is relevant to slashdot...

    If this technology has been in development for a long time, why hasn't google taken the ball and run with it?

  8. Why... on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 1

    did he give him 127.0.0.1? Even as a computer noob, I knew that was loopback. 127.168.9.228 looks more realistic, and is still loopback. :)

  12. Re:Wait... on The Best of Verity Stob · · Score: 1

    Um, I'm a female... there are so few female programmers (and women in IT for that matter) that I had to poke fun at an obvious stereotype.

    Nobody got it, but that's ok. :P

  13. Wait... on The Best of Verity Stob · · Score: 1, Funny

    A female... programmer? Hahahaha!

    Never thought I'd ever hear of one of those in my lifetime. :)

  14. Re:Gay bashing has been legitizimized in Bush's US on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 1

    Since you hate people who hate people, and I hate people who hate people who hate people, I took the liberty to sign you up for lots of Nazi/KKK mailing lists.

    Enjoy. :D

  15. Well.. on Why Did Adobe Buy Macromedia? · · Score: 1

    What company would you rather have your company be bought out by?

    A company that produces poor products that are unstable, or a company that produces excellent products that are generally high-quality and stable?

  21. Re:So, let the *sucks.com race begin on Company Name in URL Not Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Just point the domain to a server in some far-away country... like, oh,... Russia. =D

  25. Re:15 Seconds? on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 1

    My Windows XP SP2 box takes about 25 seconds from boot to login screen.

    Then again, I removed alot of the junk that comes with XP, and disabled 90% of the unnecessary services that default to running. :) (it only uses about 60 megs of RAM after logging on, as opposed to the 150+ after a fresh install)
