  1. Re:Bookmarks on Chrome Vs. IE 8 · · Score: 1

    If you ask me, bookmarks are back in Firefox 3. Just click the little star in the corner and its bookmarked. Double click it and bookmark it and assign some tags so you can use the address bar to find it again. I haven't used bookmarks in years until Firefox 3 came out because I would just create useless lists of hundreds of sites.

  2. Re:"Go ahead and steal it", says spokesman on Ghostbusters Is First Film Released On USB Key · · Score: 1

    Well, there is a new video game being released next year, so I'm sure the Super Ectoplasm editions of the movies will also be released at the same time.

  3. Re:countdown on Ghostbusters Is First Film Released On USB Key · · Score: 1

    Heck, my parents had a VHS copy of the movie back in like 1990!

    But having worked with her, would you vote for her?

  5. Re:the banned page on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    I mean come on, we're good, we're not psychic.

    You bastard, my grandmother said she'd die in the Lesser Psychic Wars of 2015.

    You can always play with commentary on if you haven't done that yet.

  7. Re:Dictionary for the lazy on Sneak Peek At Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Note: I hate slashdot messing around with the extended characters, and I'm too lazy to fix that ****.

    Figured that was a feature of the book.

  8. Re:Windows Only, and some mutterings about Mac. on Microsoft Releases Photosynth · · Score: 1

    How do they make money from this anyway, well, I'm sure they will try somehow but I see nothing on the site that makes it sound like they're selling the service or plan to sell it. I do see this though:

    What you see on this site is the first of many versions of Photosynth. Call it beta, call it 1.0, call it whatever you want⦠just know we are hard at work adding support for more browsers, more platforms, and more hardware, and just making the experience that much more amazing.

    So maybe they'll actually try to make it more readily available.

  9. Only 42%? on 42% of Web Users Sneak Onto Others' Online Accounts · · Score: 1

    Heck, I'm "sneaking" on this account right now!

  10. Hugh Hefner on Research Suggests Polygamous Men Live Longer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A quick check shows Hugh Hefner at 82, that's proof enough for me.

    Now if I could just convince my wife...

  11. Re:Oh, come on on Apple's IPhone 3G Firmware Update Bombs · · Score: 1

    But when it's easier to tell the time on the sundial than the atomic clock, doesn't that signify a problem to you?

  12. Re:Doesn't bother me. on Watchmen Delayed, Or Worse · · Score: 1

    It did get me to read the graphic novel though, which I really enjoyed. After reading it I suppose it doesn't matter if I see it in movie format anymore.

  13. Re:Does this mean... on Slashdot Announces Idle Section · · Score: 1

    Didn't know that, but we still have the left sidebar on non idle Slashdot. Thanks though.

  14. Re:Does this mean... on Slashdot Announces Idle Section · · Score: 1

    The thing I like about idle is that the score filter is on the top, allowing the comments to span the entire horizontal width of the page.

  15. I know his hobbies on Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies · · Score: 1

    I think we can infer from his resume what he enjoys in his off time:

    Popping mushrooms.
    Dressing up in short green skirts and cutting up bushes with a sword.
    Getting drunk and tossing empty kegs at frat boys.
    Pretending to ride shotgun with forest animals in space.
    Inhaling food with cheeks puffed.

    And when you run out of criminals, you make more laws.

  17. Re:Fireworks on TV on Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Were (Partly) Faked · · Score: 1

    Personally, I want to feel the bang, so I don't even bother watching them on TV. I love that feeling of like a sonic boom going through my chest.

    (cue Street Fighter 2 jokes)

  18. Value of me? on Nearly 50,000 IT Jobs Lost In Past Year · · Score: 1

    All I know is that I read Slashdot at work yet I'm still around. Maybe I really am worth something...

  19. Re:ignorance on Computer Beats Pro At US Go Congress · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is that Go is so complex and the number of possible games is magnitudes more than chess that it has nothing to do with a computer being not good at it, just having a computer that can play the game reasonably fast and intelligently enough. An 800 core computer will assist with that.

  20. Re:Push the button, Dr. Freeman on Large Hadron Collider Goes Live September 10th · · Score: 1

    I'll actually be at some company called Aperture Science that week doing some volunteer tests, so I should be nice and safe there. They supposedly even have cake.

  21. Re:Cut the fat, cut the risk. on The DIY Dialysis Machine · · Score: 1

    Great info, thanks for responding.

  22. Re:Cut the fat, cut the risk. on The DIY Dialysis Machine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What? When a woman is pregnant she is not only carrying a baby, but a very large uterus, enlarged breasts, and probably other stuff that I can't remember. Maybe your wife only gained the baby's weight but that honestly sounds unhealthy for the mom and child as she was net losing weight during the pregnancy due to other things adding necessary mass.

    And if you could tell me what minerals and vitamins are in chocolate fudge brownies (my wife's latest craving at 7 and a half months) I'd love to know.

    Maybe you have info to back your claims up, but none of this is in line with my current experience.

  23. Re:there is no browser on Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser · · Score: 1

    If Firefox was designed from the beginning to support concurrency for tabs, then yes, it would have been easy to implement. But because it was designed and coded from the ground up to not... well, it's not so simple.

  24. Re:Don't worry, though. It's completely harmless. on Dutch Town Lays Air-Purifying Concrete · · Score: 1

    Harmless...

    What could possibly go wrong, though? It's not like roadways are "surfaces" that might "runoff" into storm sewers or waterways.

    We'll call it Mostly Harmless then.

  25. Re:there is no browser on Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, software development is not just code, there's also requirements gathering and design, among others. I'm not saying Adaptive Path didn't jump the gun, but the coding part is easy enough with excellent developers, design, and communication.
