  1. Down with Windows keys on Optimus OLED Keyboard Pre-Orders Start Dec. 12 · · Score: 1

    While we're on the subject of keyboards, does anyone know where I could find a keyboard that either doesn't have the windows keys or they can be disabled or made to do something else?

  2. Re:God on Scott Adams Suggests Bill Gates For President · · Score: 2, Funny

    He'd better help if we're talking about the antichrist for president.

  3. Re:What the fuck are you talking about? on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 2, Informative

    That is true, but there is an easy workaround to get the exact same functionality from IE.
    new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

  4. Re:How can they not be loyal on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 1

    I can agree with that. There needs to be an updated fair use clause added to DMCA. I think there was an article recently about Great Britain making a law along these lines, maybe it will give out lawmakers an idea in the U.S..

  5. Re:but can Zune become the new iPod? No. on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking. I wish I had mod points right now.

  6. Re:Little Rockets? on Antarctic Microbes Could Live on Mars · · Score: 1

    No, it's more like the bugs in Starship Troopers. The small extremophiles get launched out of the butts of the large extremophiles.

  7. Re:Yes but ... on Metaverse the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe it's possible, but is it really better in some way? How is navigating an avatar through a hallway of doors better than clicking a link?

    There are some potential social possibilities in a 3d web site, but does it really help you get to the information any better?

  8. Re: Deliver First Class Web Sites? on Deliver First Class Web Sites · · Score: 0, Troll

    But I had a shower this morning... OH... "SP"... nevermind.

  9. Re:Poor topic on Copper Wire As Fast As Fiber? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It could have been about eating a bowl of copper wires over milk instead of bran flakes.

  10. Re:Dont uhh you need internet..? on 20 Tech Ideas VCs Want to Fund · · Score: 1

    Even if you do need the internet for this, which some other posters have pointed out that you might not, you have to consider that starting a project at this point it may only be ready in a couple of years from now. At that point internet access on a phone could be common/fast/cheap.

  11. Re:The problem with yahoo... on The Troubles With the Yahool Mail Beta · · Score: 1

    I can agree with that. I've been using Yahoo mail beta for a fairly long time now. Overall, I like it, once it has finished loading. They need a light version that gets you in faster. AJAX is supposed to improve performance. Their use of AJAX is just reducing performance in hope of simulating Outlook. Yahoo needs to take a step back and rethink their design, or offer a lighter weight faster loading version for the people who want that instead of an Outlook simulation.

  12. Re:China's definition of success, likely a lie. on China Claims Successful Fusion Power Test · · Score: 1

    If communist propaganda is lying, then yes, they're huge liars.

  13. Objects on A Quantitative Analysis of Online Dating · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't waste your time dating primatives. Full fledged objects make much better dates.

  14. Re:Seeing Red on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 2, Funny

    The world's supply of blue lasers are all going into the PS3.

  15. Re:It's bigger than the Internet! on Segway Recalling 23,000 Scooters · · Score: 1

    but... but... Segway is going to change the world. Were going to build entire cities around this device!

  16. Re:Games every gamer should try on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    The great thing about Deus Ex... you can't pronounce it without it sounding like "day of sex".

  17. Re:Al? on Chip Promises AI Performance in Games · · Score: 1

    That would be Weird Al. He'll cut you up like a surgeon and make you eat it.

  18. Overrated parent. RTFA? BS. RMFP. on Genetic Engineers Working to Reverse Cancer · · Score: 1
    It seems odd that you would use chemotherapy described in the article as being something that wipes out your immune system, and then try to use a treatment that relies entirely on your immune system being effective. Maybe thats part of the treatment, but it seems like you would want your immune system at 100% for this process to work.


    This RTFA crap is thrown around WAY too much.

    I never denied that the article said that, or that it was not correct to do it this way, I just said it seems counterintuitive.

    New acronym: RMFP.

    Undeserved overrating of parent for a smartass comment.

  20. Re:Great news. on Genetic Engineers Working to Reverse Cancer · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Read My Fucking Post. I said that from what the article was saying it seems strange. I didnt say they were wrong.

  21. Great news. on Genetic Engineers Working to Reverse Cancer · · Score: 1, Interesting

    That is promising research. It seems to be the most promising other than future use of nano technology to deliver drugs directly.

    These articles always make me wonder if the researchers had access to data processed by folding projects.

  22. Re:from the article, price list on Windows Vista Prices and Release Date Leaked · · Score: 1

    Hehe, funny. But you know what I mean. Out of the people who read Slashdot and will actually buy it, one way or the other they're not paying retail price.

  23. Re:from the article, price list on Windows Vista Prices and Release Date Leaked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I want to see the OEM version prices. Nobody here normally pays full retail price for Windows.

    I like inorganic meat much better.

  25. Re:ATI/AMD - Show leadership on ATI Releases Five New Radeons · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they will completely dominate if they just focus on that less than 2% of the market that runs Linux. And out of that 2%, how many need a top of the line 3d card?

    I'm sorry, but it's a waste of time for them.
