  1. Re:St John's Wort on FDA OKs Brain Pacemaker for Depression · · Score: 0

    like most anti-depressants, it might work for some people, it might not. people need to make sure they consult their doctor before trying something like it, because it can interact with other drugs.. and be toxic in overdose etc.

  2. future of slashdot - age and IQ limit for modding on The Future of RSS is Not Blogs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    losers.

  3. Re:So when's Mars coming up? on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 0

    i like how when i asked about other planets, i got modded down (from 1) to 0 "overrated"...

  4. ooh cool. maybe other planets too!? on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 0

    i know theyve mapped some of the other planets

  5. Re:Similar thign happening n the UK on Linux Desktops in New Zealand Schools · · Score: 1

    so why isnt the BBC B / acorn archimedes the machine every uses at home/work? dont confuse using computers to -learn things on- with learning about computers. having said that, theres no reason why open/staroffice shouldnt be what they learn office apps on - its hardly going to be a difficult transition to use ms office with an employer.

  6. Re:Um.. dude's gotta fuckin work. on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    why does google have a 'top executive' working in their research labs anyway?

  7. Re:unhappy with Firefox 1.x on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1, Informative

    it doesnt crash for me. its possible you have something corrupted somewhere.
    i think the win32 version of firefox is faster than on linux

  8. Re:Just don't do like a friend did... on Spyware Removal: Drop PC in Dumpster · · Score: 0

    in europe theyre not allowed to just throw them out anymore.. they're required to pay to have them recycled properly. so mostly they PAY someone to take them away.

  9. Re:How clueless is the author of this article? on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 0

    this did bother me too. ive no idea how patches are supposed to slow the system down/use more ram? he doesnt say how. i suppose if he used a hardware firewall to connect it to the net it would probably be 'ok' as long as he doesnt use IE or outlook/express. i only have sp1 on xp and rely on using firefox/thunderbird and a software firewall and i dont get any problems. but yeah the guy is obviously a bit late for the clue bus... and any article that encourages people to not install patches has NO place on slashdot.

  10. Re:Not a fanboy post... on Desktop Linux Mass Migration · · Score: 0

    hah. i suppose IE is actually harmless when running on linux - best linux browser!

  11. Re:fp on $99 Linux Handheld with WiFi for Instant Messaging · · Score: 0

    i went from "good" to "bad" for asking why someone put linux on their mac mini, even when i specifically emphasized i wasnt trying to troll them . guess there's always going to be the zealots who cant help applying their own agenda to modding.

  12. Re:How is support for radeon? on Debian Sid Moves to X.Org · · Score: -1, Troll

    not trying to troll you here.. but why are you using linux when you have os x?

  13. Re:Wow, I sure admire her now on IGN Interviews Natalie Portman · · Score: 1

    maybe she's just being honest. there's a difference between RISKING your life and just giving it away on lost cause.

  14. Re:Ouch... on Shrimp Bandages Clot Blood Faster · · Score: 1

    damnit! that movie "dog soldiers" lied to me.. you cant trust movies :(

  15. lol tin foil time.. book of revelations on Another Theory on Apple's Move To Intel · · Score: 1

    Revelation 13:16-17, "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name."

  16. Re:Could Dust Devils be... on NASA Reveals Dust Devil Data from Mars · · Score: 1

    harvard didnt send me the email about such things yet. will it be on the test?

    the children in hiroshima and nagasaki werent actively helping in the war effort

  19. Re:Ouch... on Shrimp Bandages Clot Blood Faster · · Score: 1

    its probably not as bad as SUPERGLUE which was developed for battlefield gaping hole closing use, afaik

  20. Re:Could Dust Devils be... on NASA Reveals Dust Devil Data from Mars · · Score: 1

    maybe, or it couldve been a rushed, under-funded and over-hyped mission that had a slim chance of actual success. its still less embarrassing than mixing up footpounds and newtons like that NASA probe

  21. Re:Stop being childish on 60th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    in the uk we do acknowledge the war crimes we commited, dresden for a good example. the japanese refuse to apologize for what they did to POW's etc. the americans simply cant bring themselves to admit the blatantly obvious war crime of nuking cities. yes, we know the arguments for doing it.. you can agree or disagree with those, but it doesnt change the fact it was a war crime by any definition.. weapon of mass destruction on civilian targets. unless people can say 'it was a war crime and it was wrong' they cant lecture anyone else about not having nukes, about WMD, about war crimes etc. its the 'its no torture because we're doing it' mentality of the current U.S. there's never a justification for war crimes and illegal acts.

    the only trouble with e-books is wether you`ll still have a working copy of the book in 20 years (or less)

  23. Re:dumb mod.. if it was on 1 how can it be overrat on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1

    well thats your interpretation but it doesnt match what the FAQ says about the use of overrated. it has to have been actively rated up by another mod not just than the simple +1 of a regular poster.. and not jkust the opinion of a mod that it should be modded down *without giving a reason for the modifier*

  24. Re:Biased polls are useless on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    apart from the clear bias in this 'poll' it makes me laugh out loud to imagine anyone seriously caring for one moment what 1200 people think of two products costing vast amounts of money to develop. if blu-ray seriously think a little 'first blood' in the unfortunate format war theyre entering into is going to make any difference to the outcome, theyre in even more trouble than i thought.

  25. Re:Help...(useful) ideas needed. on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    read the article! ;) re the advertising, i can see it being a good money maker - and very very bad news for those guys who stick up posters.
