  1. Re:Makes sense on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 0, Troll

    So someone points out (incorrectly) that Vista is a "minor update" and gets modded "Insightful". And then someone points out that Apple does the same and gets modded "Troll".

    Would someone picking on Linux cause /. to be /.'d?

  2. Obligatory on Pi Recited to 100,000 Digits · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mmmm pi...

  3. Re:Screw that. on No Video Games on School Nights · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's one of the benefits of being a parent/adult who has finished their schooling and is working to feed/educate/entertain their children. When the kids grow up, get their own job and start paying their own way, THEN they can watch as much TV as they want on a school/work night.

  4. Re:Well, Duhh. on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. I don't know what WPA is - but it looks pretty close to WGA so it must be bad.

    Boooooo!

  5. Re:My list... on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    1 to 4 are on the list for their Multiplayer (4 was good in it's own right).

    I could have listed several games for 5, (Snokie, Son of Blagger, Great Escape, F-15, Cops and Robbers, etc. etc).

    All the items on that list are on that list - because it's "My List".

  6. My list... on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    1. Battlefield 2 (PC)
    2. Far Cry (PC)
    3. HALO (PC)
    4. SWIV (Amiga)
    5. Blue Max (C64)

  7. Re:Lists Lists Lists on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    Inundated? Go on then, list the Top 5 lists we've been inundated with... ;)

  8. Re:Online Scrabble & Chess.. on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ahh - this it the list of THEIR favourites. Not yours, or mine, but theirs... If you can convince them that they like Scrabble or Chess better than the games in the list, then maybe they'll update the list for you.

  9. Three years ago? on Windows Monoculture Myopia Revisited · · Score: 2, Interesting

    who warned about the risks of the Windows monopoly three years ago

    What took them so long? That was 2003 - it was a "monopoly" (Not really - it never has been and never will be...) long before then.

  10. Re:I can't wait to see this thread... on Former MS Security Strategist Joins Mozilla · · Score: 3, Informative

    We do sometimes diasgree with each other!

    No we don't.

  11. I can't wait to see this thread... on Former MS Security Strategist Joins Mozilla · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Will the Mozilla fans throw their arms up in disgust (An MS Security expert - that's a contradiction!) or will they suddenly be supportive of someone they have effectively been bagging for years? (An MS Security expert for Mozilla! - what a coup!)

  12. Utter BS on Microsoft [to patent] Verb Conjugation · · Score: 1

    All in favour of the /. editor(s)/Admin pulling or correcting this bullshit "News" to reduce the amount of "prior art" crap coming from /.ers who don't RTFA say "aye".

    I'm going patent the act of not RTFA'ing - I'll make a fortune...

  13. Re:Women? on Google CEO Joins Apple's Board · · Score: 2, Funny

    "than an olympic coach choosing 100m runners based on ability and ending up with Kenyans"

    Kenyans are long distance runners...

    (Granted for /. readers 100m probably is long distance.) ;)

  14. Re:Oi! Hie Thee to Strunk and White! on AT&T Breached, Exposes 19,000 Identities · · Score: 1

    "Engish"

    lol

  15. Re:What about next-Gen computers? on No Crysis for EA or Consoles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Presumably you didn't play Far cry for you to question their ability to code.

    I think it's far more likely that they don't want to delay the release of their product to go and recode it for the 360 and (especially) the PS3. They'll probably licence out that task at a later date.

  16. Re:Oh hey, great... on RIAA Wants to Depose Dead Defendant's Children · · Score: 1

    It's not the kids that are dead - there would be little point in taking depositions from dead people.

  17. Deep blue screen of death. on 9th Annual AUV Competition Results · · Score: 4, Funny

    Release of Vista now delayed while Microsoft develops drivers for a snorkel.

  18. Damn... on 18th Century Pigment to Revolutionize Chip Design? · · Score: 2, Funny

    but the constant limiting factor, how to keep things cool, could disappear

    I guess I'll have to buy a heater...

  19. Re:There's typos, and then there's THAT on Cameroon Typo-Squats all of .com · · Score: 3, Funny

    But if you mean to type .com and you actually type .cm then its a typo. If you mean to type .cm and you .cm then it's not a typo.

  20. Re:Put them to better use on Easy Fix for Scratched CDs · · Score: 1, Funny

    But, doesn't that mess up your hair?

  21. Macbook pros safe? on Less Than a Minute to Hijack a MacBook's Wireless · · Score: 1

    In other news Apple have moved to make Macbook pros safer. ;)

  22. Re:MS Anti Spam... on Proving Which Spam Filters work Best · · Score: 1

    A false positive rate of 1:100

    No, better than 1:100 - that's what <1% means. It's actually around the 1:500

    Usually, anti-spam solutions which give more than 1:100000 are considered worthless

    Got links, or is that just your opinion?

  23. MS Anti Spam... on Proving Which Spam Filters work Best · · Score: 1

    I use the built in Spam filter in Exchange 2k3 set to level 8. All "filtered" e-mails are archived. I get maybe 3 or 4 a day (on a "bad" day) that make it through. Once a week (or more if I can be bothered) I view the archive and send on any that aren't spam (<1%) on and those that are spam get junked. I do this using a little tool I wrote that displays the From, To and subject of all these e-mails. If I can't tell from these fields whether the e-mail is a SPAM or not (and it generally is anyway) then I can view the contents of the .eml file.

    P**s easy, effective and "Free".

  24. Re:Nice! on IBM Opts for AMD · · Score: 3, Funny

    I got 18,900,000 - are you sure you didn't spell it wrong. :)

  25. Re:Nice! on IBM Opts for AMD · · Score: 4, Funny

    What! You haven't heard of the AMD Operton?

    Google it

    Sad that it seems to be a common mistake... (made 28,900 times apparently...)
