    All this has happened before and all this is happening again :D

  2. Re:Ever ever? on What's The Greatest Web Software Ever? · · Score: 1

    Google.

  3. Re:not sure I get the controversy on Don't Believe What You See at the Movies · · Score: 1

    I suspect that the problem actors have is with the fact that as the effects people get better, will they be necessary at all? If the effects department can make better appearance of tears than Jennifer can why not just skip her entirely? Actors provide Brand value. Mission Impossible wont draw one tenth as many viewers if your unknown neighborhood joe was acting instead of Tom Cruise. Its also the reason why some actors are paid higher than others. not because of their acting ability or even their looks, but because of their brand value.
  4. Re:Simple MP3 player needed... on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    Winamp 2

  5. IE developers use Firefox themselves on Just what has Microsoft been doing for IE 7? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, the IE developers use Firefox themselves anyway, so didnt bother putting in full support for CSS. After all it wont make any changes to their 'default' browsing experience....

  6. Re:Please use my referral link on Nvidia Unveils New 64x SLI GPU Rig · · Score: 1

    There is always somebody who doesnt understand sarcasm when he sees one... :-/

  7. Re:Please use my referral link on Nvidia Unveils New 64x SLI GPU Rig · · Score: 1

    This chip was especially made for all the billionaire's kids so that they can play the latest video games without the need to worry for uprgrades... thus the high price...

  8. Re:Ah! on Frozen Chip from IBM hits 500 GHz · · Score: 1

    No matter how high the speed, Norton Anti Virus will slow it enough that it still seems equivalent to a 486.

  9. Re:Depends... on When Should You Stop Support for Software? · · Score: 1

    I guess supporting IE6 and firefox will get you majority of the users. The rest is just waste of time unless you are really paranoid about supporting it on every browser on earth.

  10. Re:What is a zillionaire? on Paul Allen the 'Accidental Zillionaire' · · Score: 1

    Exactly how many billions make a zillion?

  11. Re:Just Pick One and Learn it Well on Learning Java or C# as a Next Language? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Well if you choose Java, then you can use free Eclipse IDE which is excellent. Otherwise if you choose c#, the ony decent ide is visual studio which will cost you a fortune.

  12. Re:Dupe it up. on MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon · · Score: 0

    The real headline would be if they adopt Firefox's icon for theirs ;)

  13. Re:So naturally... on Owning Your Own IP at a Company? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Every god damn fuck knows its a frigging specialist activity and every god damn fuck *knows* that he needs to hire a lawyer for this.
    But this guy doesnt WANT to hire a fucking lawyer.
    Why the fuck do u think he has psoted here? If he wanted to get a lawyer he would have already done so.

  14. Re:So naturally... on Owning Your Own IP at a Company? · · Score: 1

    This is crazy. The guy is asking for legal advice cause he doesnt want to go to a lawyer and the only advice given to him by whole of slashdot is to 'get a lawyer'.
    Shows how much the 'geeks' actually know about legal stuff ;)

  15. Re:Actually a better question: on KOffice Developers Reply to Yates · · Score: 1

    I want to write the stuff. I have some really, really good software if I want to lay out the text (both LaTeX and Scribus, woohoo); I don't, I repeat, don't need that baggage in the word processor.
    Use Notepad!

  16. Re:Popular theme today... on Microsoft's Nightmare Scenario · · Score: 1

    You could write equivalents of microsoft word or adobe photoshop in flash or java
    Are you crazy! have you ever tried writing a word processor or image manipulation app. Do you know the kind of work that happens in the background when you work with these programs? It would be almost impossible to reproduce in flash. And look the sizes of files you would need to download every time you want to dl a document!! Maybe it would od if you got broadband but a lot of people still use 56k modems.

  17. But why did they do this? on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    I am sure IBM didnt donate this code out of gratitude to firefox developers. How does this move help IBM in any way?

  18. How does IBM benefit from this? on Could IBM Shake up the Search Engine World? · · Score: 1

    Exactly how do the IBM guys manage to make money from this? They just seem to dontating it to biggies lke Google and MS. Sure they are not in mood for some social service, until it benefits them.

  19. Doom 3 on Windows Vista May Degrade OpenGL · · Score: 1

    Well doom3 anyway requires a pretty powerful pc. i wonder whether you will get even 16 frames at 640x480 with GF6 on Vista then?

  20. Any bets on what goes out next..... on Monad Shell Removed From Vista · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First WinFS, now Monad. Anyone willing to bet on what goes out next before Vista is released?
