  1. Um... on Testing the KDE 4.2 Release Candidate, On Windows · · Score: 0

    Yay?

  2. Re:When the cost of maintaining it... on When Should We Ditch Our Platform? · · Score: 0

    /applause
    Makes me wish I had mod points...

  3. Re:Ballmer is Masturbating to the Excitement on Ballmer Suggests Linux Distros Will Soon Have to Pay Up · · Score: 0

    When the shit hits the fan then we'll seem something more than Ballmer jerking off in front of the fan with his mouth open. Great zombie Jebus, that has to be the most quotable thing I have ever seen here on Slashdot. Dibs for a sig?
  4. Eye candy? Meh. on Compiz Gets Thumbs-Up for Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 0

    Great, just something else I'll have to disable in order to get Ubuntu working on my old box. Hey Canonical, how about fixing initramfs instead of adding eye candy so my machine will actually boot after install?

  5. Already filed a bug on Debian win32-loader Goes Official · · Score: -1

    Their propaganda is in the wrong file format for a MS Office user...

  6. Hmmm on Pirate Banned From Using Linux · · Score: 0

    I wonder if they would've bought him a new box if used a Commie 64 to upload 2844.4 floppies...

  7. Wow... on Ubuntu Linux vs. Mac OS X · · Score: 0

    After reading this steaming bag of crap in its entirety, I have decided this has to be one of the most biased, uneducated articles I have ever read. I'll save you the time. Basically it is an non-stop onslaught of ass-hattery such as,

    * No gaming on Linux.
    * No gaming on Macs, but you can use Garageband, iLife, iMovie, iPhoto, iRectalThermometer...
    * It's become something of a truism that Linux is more secure than Windows, but that doesn't say much for how secure it is on its own.
    * The Mac operating system itself is extremely secure.

    I admit: I may be a Linux zealot, but at least when I write an article, I do some research before and try to portray an accurate and fair comparison. Save yourself some time and don't even bother reading this: it will make you dumber. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

  8. Re:Cancer.. on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 1, Funny

    Proof positive in my book that women are the result of genetic damage. With a comment like that, your lucky if one doesn't cause you genetic damage.
  9. Re:Audiophiles will be happy with this on The Rise of "Hybrid" Vinyl-MP3s · · Score: 0

    Not me. Sound frequency has to be downgraded (especially the bass) when converting music to vinyl format as the deeper resonance bass can cause the groove to intersect when cutting.

  10. Re:slashdotted on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 0

    Freecycle for chopping loops. IMHO, Linux is on the way, but nearly there yet (as far as music production goes). By no means, does it not contain the capability to handle the functionality, but rather the hardware vendors not willing to play the driver game.

  11. Adoption? on Google Pushes Open Source OCR · · Score: 0

    Hopefully, the Linux community will adopt some of this, as some of it can be utilized for accessibility. After perusing some patents from the 1800's, it's clear that Google has made some headway in this department. There were errors in translation (namely K's and R's/P's and B's), but for several documents, things come across as intended.

  12. Re:Loading games on Commodore Returns with New Gaming PCs · · Score: 0

    Change that LOAD to wine and I'd be pretty friggin' excited.

  13. Congratulations!!!1!!one on Microwave Experiments Cause Sponge Disasters · · Score: 0

    Is everyone proud? We just witnessed the future birth of a warning label that when applied will make people say, "Why the hell would you have that on a warning label for a sponge?"

  14. In other news... on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 0

    I hate Microsoft, but I won't tell you why. Write your own damn paper...

  15. Re:ATMs on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 0

    Trust me, my best friend is blind, and this is something that should have been done a long time ago. As far as accessibility for ATM's go, quite a few have headphone jacks in my area. The biggest point of contention is the people that had you the money. My friend keeps track of his finances in his head and has been ripped off a couple of times by underhanded scum working a register, and it is not as though he has a lot of money as it is. The real question is: when will it happen, not if it'll happen. I seem to remember a lot of people bitching about building wheel-chair ramps for access to buildings before they were common place, but it had to be done. Most of all, this is the friggin' governement and they should be setting the standard; not trying to avoid it.

  16. NNNOOOOOO!!! on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 0

    We want more Jar-Jar!!!

  17. Great... on Honda Robot Controlled By Brain Waves · · Score: 0

    Now I guess it's time to get some Old Glory Insurance before they come to eat my medicine for fuel...

  18. No problem here... on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 0

    I've tried out numerous flavors of Linux and even (gasp) BSDs, after being a Dos/Windows user for over 12 years. As a matter of fact, I've dumped Windows on all my machines but my game box. If you aren't afraid to read to RTFM, then generally you won't have any problems. The most significant issues regarding Linux/BSD resolves around hardware/drivers and gaming. If vendors would work with developers, then the switch would be easier for many people, IMHO.

  19. Duh on Ship Logs Suggest Upcoming Polar Reversal · · Score: 0

    The Earth goes through cycles of this every tens-of-thousnads of years or so. The problem is, it's not always a simple reversal. They've provided comparisons of past changes and estimates of how the future changes could progress: there's holes and poles everywhere. The Discovery channel had a special about the aurora borealis that discusses it in detail, unfortunately, I couldn't find a link...

  20. Pocari Sweat on Developers React To 'Wii' · · Score: 0

    It's bad enough that the Japanese have a drink called "Sweat"

    Pocari Sweat is actually a Coke product, so blame them. Not all the world speaks English, so don't be surprised if a name doesn't translate too well.

  21. Blorp on Researchers Create Artificial Insect Eye · · Score: 0

    "Even though insects start with just a single cell, they grow and create this beautiful optical system by themselves," said Professor Luke Lee, one of the authors on the paper.

    So, did I, but you don't here me bragging about it!

    Oh wait... I just did...

  22. Speaking of Relativity on NASA Achieves Breakthrough Black Hole Simulation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This isn't the only testing that NASA is doing of Einstein's theories. For those that are interested, there is also the Gravity Probe-B. Really interesting stuff!

  23. Let me guess... on Google Voice Search May be Coming Soon · · Score: 0

    Is it called Opera?

    Opera has built in voice recognition already, so could someone clairify the point of building this into a search engine?

    "My Voice is My Passport, Verify Me..."

  24. Saber - it starts with a bloody ess! on Jeopardy! Tryout Screenings Go Online · · Score: -1

    So, I can wear my anal bum cover during my entrance exam?
