  1. Download Link on Last-Minute Glitch Holds Up Windows XP SP3 · · Score: 0, Redundant
  2. Re:US jury system does it again on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 0

    Are you familiar with the 5th Amendment? Defendents aren't required to testify, and cannot be forced to do so.

  3. Re:OH NOES! on For CS Majors, How Important Is the "Where?" · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a bitter engineering school drop out. =P

  4. Re:Is this really surprising? on African Americans and the Video Game Industry · · Score: 1

    My parents earn just enough that my family doesn't receive any government aid. My father went into public radio, my mother does clerical work. I have a part-time job.

    I'm currently on the road to study Computer Science or Mathematics, possibly both. I'm not traveling the road that was set before me, and while not poor, I'm not financially stable either.

    I may be the exception to the point you were making though.

  5. Re:No, it's not drug abuse. on Many Scientists Using Performance Enhancing Drugs · · Score: 1

    Me. There, problem solved.

  6. Re:Yes, it will replicate the rickroll. on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 1

    Because it's already the best.

  7. Re:Sound Cards on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 1

    You don't use sound. But I do.

  8. Re:I'd rather not buy from the likes of GoDaddy or on ICANN Moves Against GoDaddy Domain Lockdowns · · Score: 1

    I've always had great luck with 1&1. Just registered a .org last night with them and it was done within the hour (I could visit www.mydomain.org.) While just a little bit more expensive, NearlyFreeSpeech.NET might be a good alternative. I've yet to use them, but have been looking into transferring most of my domains there due to their nearly free speech policies.

  9. Re:Other Courses were also cut. on College Board Kills AP Computer Science AB · · Score: 1

    According to http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/compsci_ab/dist.html?comsciab there were 5,064 students that took the AP CS AB exam in 2007.

  10. Re:This is a shame on College Board Kills AP Computer Science AB · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what APCSAB exam you took, but the one I did, 2007, I was required to write and recognize various data structure manipulation algorithms, such as sorting or searching. The standard libraries didn't do any good for me, as I couldn't use them.

    Granted, you do have a point about pointers. But seeing as I only took the exam to see how well I understood the material, I'll get to learn about pointers either on my own or at Uni this fall.

  11. Re:Oh please on NVIDIA Quad SLI Disappoints · · Score: 1

    Cuz God forbid someone use 3D for their job! Sheesh! The idiots on Slashdot these days...

  12. Re:For games.... on DirectX Architect — Consoles as We Know Them Are Gone · · Score: 2, Funny

    This your first time to Slashdot?

  13. Re:Stupid on both sides on What Happens To Bounced @Donotreply.com E-Mails · · Score: 1

    Unless you use Google Apps to do the mail handling for you.

  14. Elaboration Please on Brain-Inspired Computer Made From Duroquinone · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Could someone tell me what they mean by "operation near absolute zero."?

  15. Re:He's an idiot on Customer Loses Xbox 360 Artwork During Repair · · Score: 2, Funny

    He's posting on Slashdot. It didn't happen.

  16. Property Tax? on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax? · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize we were taxed on all our property, such as my moderately costly computer.

  17. Edible: I think not! on Should Addictive Tech Come With a Health Warning? · · Score: 1

    I've never attempted to eat my technology... so why should it come with such a warning?

  18. Re:Or it is not spreading on Why Linux Doesn't Spread - the Curse of Being Free · · Score: 3, Informative

    You should run XP. I'm not running AV etc. Yes windows firewall is running... but in general thanks to limited user accounts... I really have no problems with web spam popup/install hijack stuff like your XP setup did.

  19. Re:Great with WINE on Blizzard Patches No-CD Support Into Warcraft III · · Score: 1

    Not sure why your copy still requires the disc. SecuROM crap was removed in 3220.

    Here is a retail to 3260 patch: http://thq.vo.llnwd.net/o10/SC/live/supcom_patch_1.0.3189_to_1.1.3260.exe, which I got from here: http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=13046

    The original Unreal Tournament did the same thing. They required the disc up until the first patch, which is not unreasonable in my opinion.

  20. Re:Such tools as... on Data Recovery & Solid State · · Score: 1

    He's posting on /.. Inflatable dolls can't call back.

  21. Re:Get a life on World of Warcraft Gold Limit Reached, It's 2^31 · · Score: 1

    That's not his thinking at all.

    He stated, in order for you to feel superior, and decide if what others are doing is "worth a shit", you yourself should do nothing but work and sleep, contributing to society.

    Therefore, if you don't feel superior, and don't decide what others are doing is "worth a shit", then you're welcome to participate in whatever recreational activity you wish.

  22. Re:Sun? on Sun Buys MySQL · · Score: 1

    Stop providing support to new customers, and wait out any support contracts already in existence for MySQL. Then convince them to switch to PostgreSQL?

  23. Re:Ultra portable, but no battery life? What gives on Just What is this ASUS Eee Thing Anyway? · · Score: 1

    I dunno about you, but I'd rather carry a light device with a power adapter, than a heavy one with a power adapter...

  24. Re:Sounds about right on Only 2 in 500 College Students Believe in IP · · Score: 1

    After studying Shakespeare in school... I kinda wish IP had existed!

  25. Re:What kind of laser? on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    While I've never flown a helicopter (or any aircraft), aren't they able to remain fairly stationary, or does it require a great deal of effort?
